VSCode remote plugin is pretty great if you're doing heavy editing. Probably wouldn't hook it up to a production machine though, it leaves a bit of cruft around. You could also look to enhance your vim experience, a few plugins and most importantly, some practice, can turn it into an efficient text editor.

It is hard to say, as the requirement you have doesn't sound very standard so we might need to know a bit more to help.

The one thing I hate about most cars' active lane keep systems is that if you fall asleep and don't grip the steering wheel for a while, it does the most UNSAFE thing possible, which is to beep a few times and then disable itself, which would mean that you crash, 100% of the time. Yet other lane keep systems disable themselves below 40mph which means you crash as soon as the car slows down to that speed.

What it should do is continue to aggressively lane keep, switch on emergency flashers, and sound progressively louder alarms until you wake up, but NEVER stop lane keeping, even as the car slows down below 40mph. It should lane keep all the way down to 0 and keep sounding the alarms.

The banking industry is capable of near real-time, international, encrypted, irreversible transactions in which the identities of persons on both sides of the transaction are confirmed. It's just a more expensive system which requires more hoops than is necessary for the bulk of bank transactions.

I'm sure we could build a better banking system if we scrapped everything and started over. But what we have is really good enough for most people.

I chose MinervaNeue with Custom CSS. Here is what I set the CSS to:

main {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns:
1fr
min(65ch, 100%)
1fr;
}
main p {
font-family: "Hoefler Text", Garamond, "Times New Roman", Cambria, Cochin, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif ;
}
main > * {
grid-column: 2;
}
.infobox {
width: 100%;
grid-column: 1 / 4;
}

It's ok. But the infobox isn't right. It takes up too much space from the main column.

Anybody got a better layout?

It's not. We're talking about people's lives.

I've felt tired before and you know what I do? I nap in the parking lot. Because the remote chance I kill or maim myself or someone else is not worth the momentary discomfort. It's not fun, and sometimes people harass you, but it's far better than driving drowsy.

> reasons to be tired and drive: rotating shiftwork, working multiple jobs, caring for a newborn, caring for the sick.

None of that is an excuse to get behind a many thousand pound piece of equipment and not be able to control it.

> "You should never get behind the wheel if there's a chance you'll fall asleep!" is an absurd thing to say.

I stand behind my assertion and hope you'll come around.

> If someone is rich enough to rent things to others, by definition, they have more than they need.

I don't know of many landlords who will continue to own property if the rent does not pay their expenses and a reasonable profit. Profit is not bad, it is the reward society gives individuals for taking risks. Rental prices start from basic supply and demand. People who need a place to live will pay what they can afford, often unwisely paying more than they would need to if they were content with less. Landlords adjust prices accordingly - up if there is more demand, down if there is less.

Add in the emotional component of "owning my own place", which drives up the price of single family properties and forces landlords to raise prices if they will cover costs and profit. Add in the property value increase caused by tax benefits the government has, in my opinion, unwisely handed out to homeowners. Push up prices more due to large minimum lot sizes and NIMBYism constraining supply in desirable areas. (After all, what makes an area desirable? From an economic standpoint, the ability to easily exchange labor for money or some other store of value.) The result? Society largely is responsible for its own dilemmas.

> reasons to be tired and drive

What? You have provided a long list of reasons not to drive. It's the law and a moral requirement that you don't go out and kill other people or yourself due to incapacitation.

People drive with varying levels of alertness, yes. But if there is a reasonable, foreseeable chance you might FALL ASLEEP, then no, of course you ABSOLUTELY should not be driving and I'm sad but not surprised that this needs to be pointed out.
One time I was driving between cities at 2am for unavoidable reasons, and was drowsy. At one point my brain interpreted the shifting red taillights in front of me as a game of Tetris. That's when I knew it was too dangerous to continue so I pulled over (rest stop was close by) and took a 15 minute nap. I found that powernaps like this are really effective at energizing me past browning out and letting me finish the drive safely.

Measures like opening windows in the middle of winter, playing loud music, pinching, etc. stop working eventually and a nap really is the only way out.

Based on the comments and the Naming and Etymology section in the Elk wikipedia. I think in Europe the term "elk" refers to both elk and moose.

"European explorers in North America...thought that the larger North American animal resembled a moose, and consequently gave it the name elk, which is the common European name for moose"
The Wikipedia article seems to suggest that it's very popular in parts of Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-temperature_process...

Here in Sweden no one really buys UHT milk. I guess all stores carry it but it's rather a niche product. However, during recent years we have gotten something that's sort of in between UHT and regular milk. I don't know exactly what the process is, maybe they it's just pasteurize it for a bit longer. You need to keep it refrigerated but it will last for weeks. Some people claims it taste a bit different. To me it tastes the same as regular milk. It tastes nothing like UHT though.

The 'you shouldn't be driving' commenters are people who are are either living in a privileged high-income bubble and don't understand what real life is like for most of the population, or are logical purists thinking about this issue in isolation without considering what real life is like for most of the population. Neither of those demographics has considered that their 'you shouldn't be driving, period' policy would cause a lot more damage than it would mitigate, when considered at a societal scale.

The fact that this kind of policy would do net negative damage is trivial to arrive at, and is exactly why no country has ever stopped people with this issue from driving even though the issue itself is well known. The 'shouldn't be driving' mindset is tunnel visioning and swatting a fly in your house with a nuclear missile.

The fact that anyone going against that viewpoint is getting downvoted makes it pretty clear that HN is trending towards reddit where downvotes have become an 'I disagree' button. It's been pretty sad watching this trend play out over the last couple of years.

> If your renters do well your property value rises.

Could you explain this more fully? I would say that the value rises because there is more demand for the property, not because someone who makes $200,000 a year lives there. If your claim is true, then how does the market know which properties contain successful individuals so the property value increases accordingly?
> In speaking to Africans in the West, in general they share a very traditional view of the situation as many other immigrants do. Namely, to remember who you are, where you come from, who your people are, and many other things from homeland.

The point here isn't to say indigenous Africans are not woke or bear no interaction with (post-)colonialism, but that their cultural circumstances are just too distinct to provide much solace to the specific plight of Black Americans, surprised as some are when they move to or visit Africa and discover a perspective they imagined to be in more alignment with their own, as I mentioned above.

This distance is palpable in your own commentary that immigrants "remember who you are, where you come from, who your people are, and many other things from homeland." - such a sentence has little to offer to a Black American whose ancestors were physically and culturally displaced in an intractable way.

But this also has another edge to it, which the article also wishes to point out, that the "American-ness" of the Black community can lead to notions of whose perspective is more valid, again, highlighted in the substrate of YouTube commentary I've encountered.

It is true that most Black folk, just as in the article wrt Liberia, have zero interest in relocating to Africa and elect to struggle for whats owed to their ancestors' contribution to building this country, however the experience of this smaller community of Black American migrants throws light on an interesting aspect of the discussion from where I'm standing

> This technology empowers people to make stupid decisions and rationalize them.

Not just "this" technology -- technology in general. There are always risk adjustments; airbags and seat belts had similar riskier-driving effects.
That would imply non-tech people having some surprisingly deep visibility into technical details. What they really see is Excel vs. some contractor doing "a system".

The reality is that Excel is available today and works, and scales up... well, until it doesn't. Still, you have data entry that everybody in the field understands, that's rock solid (so no need to unit test anything), and has a tried and true authentication module built in (a file sent from a government mail address). There's a risk of user errors, but the system will be working immediately[0]. Deployment can be done by anyone, as it's just clicking on File->New and starting to type data in.

Meanwhile, a "pigsqueal" solution will take half a year to design, produce and deploy (that's in an emergency, a year otherwise). And that's with competent IT people, and not someone who wants to profiteer off the crisis. Then you'll have to train the users, and hope the reality won't necessitate any changes, because they will take a while.

I think plenty of decent coders appreciate the fact that Excel is suitable for a surprisingly wide range of tasks, and that if you spot it widely used somewhere, it most likely means there isn't any comparable alternative available.

--

[0] - Note that the user error that finally happened did not happen in the place where you'd expect it to.
the secret to using Excel well in large complex tables/spreadsheets is the same secret as coding with large complex programs.

You use structure, design away the complexity, implement constraints, error checking and tests.

Note it's true that an inexperienced person is liable to make spaghetti code either way, but there's nothing fundamental about a spreadsheet format that makes it inherently unusable for a lot of small/medium problems. Indeed it even has benefits in terms of interactivity/ turn around/accessibility.

Of course, there's also a lot of problems with Excel and reasons not to use it like a database or anything which fundamentally relies on maintaining data integrity, and it's liable to be the first tool reached for by the non-experienced, who will generally make a mess of things large and complex as a rule.

> No goal post was moved.

You originally said, and I quote:

> ...the principles of science and logic as far as we're "aware" apply "outside" of the "human experience" while religion and morality do not.

And when I gave reasons as to why entities outside of “human experience” might still have a use for morality, you did not counter that but instead moved the goalposts to:

> Why is there a philosophy of morality and not a philosophy of hunger

Boom, you were out-logic’d but unable to admit it. Wow. You can’t say anything about this because you were simply flat out wrong.

> All my original points still stand. I am simply giving you the scientific explanation of morality... a deeper look than what philosophy has to offer.

That’s what I mean, you refuse to acknowledge that the philosophical perspective takes into account the scientific one. It encompasses it. It’s greater than it. Science cannot be “deeper” than philosophy because philosophy includes the scientific perspective.

Funny how you accuse others of playing word games, when in reality that’s all you do. Because we both know your arguments have no other substance to them.
