The graphs have an incredibly beautiful quality given the shading, layout, and exquisite blue colouring. The author sure has a sense of aesthetic refinement.
a plugin hybrid with less than 10 miles of range shouldn't be considered a plugin hybrid. So, this would seem to be against a certain class of PHEVs, not the concept in general. I would argue that any PHEV that the government wants to recognize as such, should be required to have a minimum range of 40-50 miles.
It really isn't. The entire purpose of servo was to be a vehicle for r&d with the eventual goal of merging code back to firefox. It succeeded. No one used it because that really wasn't the point.

> a serious ramp up of cheap (3000-9000$) EV production

I really can't wait to see electric trickle down to the budget market. I get Tesla's approach of making EV's sexy with self driving/ludicrous mode/etc and I know the cost of batteries is a limiting factor right now, but I'd love to see how cheaply you could build an electric car.

It seems like with virtually no moving parts, and battery production getting better, you aught to be able to build an EV for a good deal less than an equivalent ICE vehicle.
The difference there is that you can't measure how pleasing a given sound is to someone else, at least not in a generalized fashion that makes that conclusion have any meaning for anyone else.

Motor function is objectively measurable. "I like the sound of this" is not.
This is seriously disruptive technology for a lot of low-wage workers. I wasn't aware robots were already this advanced for drywalling.
You've got it backwards. Rust is lower level than Java, so Java would be calling Rust, not the other way around.

Rust isn't aiming to displace Java. They're two different levels of abstraction. It's the same with Python. Rust isn't aiming to displace Python just as Java isn't aiming to displace Python either.

Rust one day could displace C++, but the odds are low, because in response to Rust C++ has stepped up its game and has changed as a language drastically. Most modern C++ features are concepts from Rust.
I got banned for deleting and re-creating my account too many times. (on the same device)

I also tried being a "marginally" attractive woman one time and the results were stunning. 100's of matches in the first hour. Even creating an account with male pictures easily 5-6x as attractive as me yielded meager results at best (1-2 matches per day).

I will say, these apps work better in large cities. However, the real reason I suspect my account was banned, was from me realizing you get a default "boost" on your account for the first 24-48hrs (seems to be the case both on Tinder and Bumble). If you really want results, just keep deleting and re-creating your account after results start to fall off after a few days.
These sites are built to make money.

Match, who owns most of them (okcupid, pof, ...) has all kind of other services they offer: boost, profile makeovers, date coaching, etc...

They limit you and force you to go through profiles 1 by 1 because it benefits them to do so. Because you are more likely to pay to have more access, get boosts, etc. They have optimized the site to make money, so the longer you are single the better.

While you might find someone on the site, I find real life is better, granted with COVID things are a bit rough now.

Nevermind that many people now have overinflated egos and feel they have tons of option. In the case of women I think they forget most of the thristy guys are just looking to hit it and quit it and take it as their value and worth is higher than it really is.
Being as experienced as you are, couldn't you just learn Rust like any other language if you need it in your work (or just to try it out). Your post has a weird negative vibe, like it would cost you greatly to try it.
If you're on Mac, there's a nifty free app for keeping your computer from sleeping called Amphetamine, which can move your mouse for you at a set interval.

It's pretty ridiculous there's no setting in Teams to disable that, and I really hope no one is monitoring those status icons so closely.
If you're using Chrome or Edge, setting up multiple profiles is a good way to handle this, as well as separating work and personal stuff. I use profiles to have Teams open for multiple organizations..
Huh, you're right. Running Paintbrush in a Windows 3.11 image in QEMU yields saner colors (such that they do actually have 255s in them), but I think there's some gamma conversion at play still, and QEMU and PCJS have different views on that.

Horovod v0.21: Optimizing Network Utilization with Local Gradient Aggregation
In that case your opinion of HN may have needed some adjusting. Any large-enough population sample reflects the divisions in society at large—or societies, rather, since HN is a highly international site. There's no avoiding this.

Sometimes when people get shocked by what they read here, the shock experience has more to do with encountering voices that (often loudly and/or at length, and sometimes even eloquently) express opinions we don't run into in our circles. We're all pretty good at siloing ourselves among the like-minded. Even when we're aware that a topic is divisive, we don't relate much with people on the other side of the divide. Mostly we label them as idiots or worse, and don't encounter them in their complexity.

HN is a non-siloed site [1], meaning we're all in one big room here, so it doesn't work that way. The reality is that on any divisive topic, there are millions if not billions of people on the other side of the divide, a bunch of them are here, and they tend to be otherwise normal people whose different beliefs derive from their different backgrounds rather than them being idiots or worse. One might think that makes for an easier experience, but in fact it makes things much harder.

I wrote a longer description of this a while ago if anyone is interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098. Also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23716395.

I find these kinds of terse shorthand features valuable: they allow for a richer experience for users who care enough about HN to make the effort to understand the features that lie beyond the basic stuff, and for those who don't, they're basically invisible.

I think perhaps something to consider would be a `title` attribute on a span surrounding the full stop which says something like "most recent comment by this user", so that someone who mouses over the dot can get more information about what it means (thus hopefully avoiding the Ask HN threads)
The article fails to answer the question, and the whole site appears to just be a clickbait ad farm. They have an article on hyperloop which fails to denounce it, calls it "one of the greatest leaps in transportation for generations" which tells us these articles are not reflections of critical thought.
The Touch Bar is really nice.
> but this really shouldn't happen with any halfway decent cables or hardware

Well, the best brand cables jiggle around. I'm talking Pi's, Macbooks, Pixel phones, you name it, they all jiggle around.

I've had RealSense cameras, StarTech USB hubs fail because of cable jiggling around in the port, and had to make 3D printed add-ons to grip the housing and prevent cable jiggling.

I've personally had WAY more problems with USB that SCSI cables, honestly. Also I break an average of about 1 USB cable a week; SCSI, DB25, DB9, DB15, BNC, and those cables never break.

How is that actually true, but at the same time the melting of the permafrost will result in very large releases of CO2, NO and Methane? One of these must be false.

Phytoplankton also live for very short periods of time, no more than a few days, they would likely adapt more readily to change than longer lived organisms.

There's lots of articles for the advantages of Rust. Consider just searching for some of them on Google since they will, in general, be written in a more considered fashion than a response to your comment.

In an effort to be transparent, I will downvote your comment because I like novelty and interesting new things, not the nth version of a BSD is dead or Vim v Emacs discussion, which is what you're spawning.
"Because we learned that their impact isn't differentiated based on their location, we knew that we didn't have to pay them differently within the US, so we eliminated geographical zones from our compensation structure and now all employees in the US are paid within the same range and it means being rewarded for their impact, not their location."
This isn't even close to satire anymore. I know managers who track which of their employees have read Google Docs they send out, and how long they take to first open it.

I've basically had nothing but downvotes from the Rust community because any time I point something out about my thoughts on the language, I'm wrong and can't have those thoughts.

Some one here in a separate thread said, "I don't understand your hate," and I'm like, what hate? It's a programming language. I don't hate it, I just don't yet find a reason to use it, but maybe I'm missing something really big.

It's not really welcoming at all in my opinion. It carries all of the familiar facets of being a hyped product that people love, and if you question it you're not only wrong, you should be torn down because of your opinion.
A good point and a long list of tools. But imo this is not the industry to say “good luck rewriting X” in. It is inevitable someone will come along to rewrite or write a new and improved tool for everything on that list. And it might be in Rust.
Some of these have unfortunately been the fault of Apple's own iCloud drive sync problems in the past. I've noticed many apps that use it struggle to maintain consistent data across multiple devices in the case of conflicts / offline devices coming back online and having to catch up.

There are very good reasons why whiteboarding focuses on computer science, and not the actual practice of writing software.

You're making a lot of assertions about FAANGs without having been there.

> "If you want to start a startup, the best place to learn is absolutely in another startup."

One might equally say that the best place to learn to run a successful business (including a startup) is to work at a place with many successful large business divisions, each with their own P&L.

> "Not sure what you could only learn at a FAANG besides how to navigate intra-company politics, but I'm sure there's at least a few good reasons to be there."

While the skill of FAANG engineers varies, being at a FAANG provides an opportunity to learn from and network with top-tier engineers as well as the processes necessary to deliver quality software on a cadence at scale. While some may scoff that startups don't need that yet, the point of creating a startup is to grow into a successful business.

It's a small city state that's 74% Chinese [1]. Not very multi-cultural in the western sense. Take a look at France for example.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Singapore

-edit-

You can also be multi-cultural in the "look at my skin color sense" but not multi-cultural in your beliefs. And of course for the purposes of this discussion it's a matter of degrees. Locally there may be extremes, but when you compare different geographies that might highlight actual extremes. I'm willing to bet, for example, that the United States is far more diverse both in opinion and nationality than Singapore. Iceland? Less so.
If it's more likely then why can't it be used as the starting point? What's the conspiracy theory?
I think you're right in that that was the original sell, but it's not how they sell it today.

"Servo’s mission is to provide an independent, modular, embeddable web engine, which allows developers to deliver content and applications using web standards."

So maybe they're just not there yet?

But in my opinion, if you create popular software and no one uses it, it's not popular from its adoption, it's popular for some other reason. I can't point to any one using Servo and figure out how they use it, because I don't know of any companies or products actually using it besides Mozilla.

And I embed web tech, so I've spent a lot of time in that particular field. I just don't see it actually being used outside of Mozilla projects, like it was originally conceptually sold.
It can go the other way. Apple started LLVM but can they be considered to own it anymore?

This is not correct.

The only time the request is made by default is when it falls in to the "simple" category, which as far as I'm aware, is limited to

- GET requests

- That only include known header fields

In all other cases, you fall into the other bucket. In that case the browser will make a preflight options request (without any data) to check the CORS response headers configured by the server. Only then, if allowed by the response headers, will the browser actually make the POST.

---

Ok, I went and looked, apparently you can send POSTS, you just can't send application/json, only one of the default form content types (text/plain is one, though).

So I'm wrong - At least for Firefox, this would likely be the same request with the same behavior.
GM indicates that they think the EV transition is happening sooner than people and has no plans for another PHEV, just a large slate of EVs between 2023-2030. The Volt is mentioned as a transition option no longer necessary, according to current GM plans. Relatedly, all of the German automakers currently expect to be entirely EV by 2030. (Asian automakers are interestingly split by how much they rely on US car sales versus Chinese car sales. Those selling to China are on a very fast ramp to all EV production and those with much more reliance on US sales are still hedging their bets.)

There's an interesting feeling in the air that it could be a surprisingly fast switch in the next few years. I've loved my Volt and it was a great purchase in 2011, but in 2020 it does feel like a transition tech that I wouldn't buy again (especially as commute changes and electric reliability have moved me more and more to the "gas up once a year only because the Volt makes me" group), I'd personally go for a proper EV next time. It will be interesting to watch the next few years because I think things are about to go "weird" quickly (in rapid shifts in gas prices and availability).

Can’t speak to its quality, but there’s nothing stopping someone from writing a repl from a sufficient compiler API... and “good” is only limited by inference quality and runtime performance. IDEs are pretty snappy at showing you autocomplete as you type regardless of whether the language has a garbage collector. And performance - well, that’s what caching would be for, and an optimized compiler design that only needs to recompile changed code...

I would also point out the “auto” keyword in CPP likely saves folks a lot of typing ;-) I know it and similar inferences changed my mind on the whole static vs dynamic debate...
This can be applied to other areas in life too. As an example, Instead of using a smart watch for tracking sleep we can simply base our decisions on how our body feels, intuitively.

I'm not sure anyone's claiming that any attempt to measure usage is spying. We're not talking about metrics like "the technology org created 452 documents and spent 9h47m reading them". We're talking about "Sally spent 4m52s looking at the doc Tom wrote".

Big difference.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm kinda tired of "dating sites are horrible for men, but it's hard for women in a different way" being the extent of the discussion. Article is from 2012, so I'll give the benefit of the doubt that this same experiment hadn't yet been repeated over and over with slight variations to the same result when it was written. It is at this point common knowledge that online dating as it exists today is horrible. My personal take on that is it is because dating itself is horrible and there are some things you just can't fix with a website, but if we're going to have a discussion around online dating are there at least any studies out there that might inform a better way to do things?

To be very clear, it's not Amazon's language to take. We are contributing (and I think you'll see us increase our contributions), but we are one of many contributors.

And, I should add, the real contributors are the engineers who do the code. AWS is committing credits/cash/other, but when it comes to the engineering, we are hiring committers so that they have time/resources to continue to do so. But it's those engineers (and engineers from other companies) who are doing the work.

I'm very, very grateful that Facebook and others have also been hiring Rust committers. It's better as a community, not as one company's programming language, even a great company/org like Mozilla.

So, no, don't worry about AWS taking over Rust. We couldn't and don't want to. Rust has done so, so much right as a community-led project: welcoming, inclusive, kind. We hope to contribute to that, not commandeer anything.
This is a sensationalist heading. No, it's not doing surveillance - it's giving very high-level analytics - no more than most other tools we use today.
Very interesting question. Perhaps by looking at fuzziness in the spectral lines of elements in asteroids (which are sometimes composed of quasicrystals [0]).

Looks like there has been some work on NMR of quasicrystals [1].

Zeeman splitting of spectral lines requires a magnetic field. Maybe if a large quasicrystal passed near a magnetar [3] one would see an effect.
