Two stroke mopeds are not new but I do not see them on bike paths. I do see them in the road. e-bikes that comply with the existing laws have similar capabilities to mopeds yet people ride them on bike paths.

Another dimension of this phenomenon is electric cars. Teslas are somehow synonymous with "self-driving" even though they could have the same capabilities with gas motors.

Somehow electric motors are translating to "new rules" even though we have existing rules that apply.

> At 20MPH your turbo assist turns off completely leaving the rider in this weird state where 1MPH slower is easy and 1MPH faster is brutal. If you are going 30MPH anywhere on this, it's because you are a world-class cyclist or are going downhill.

A buddy of mine bought an e-bike this summer that can go 30mph for 30 miles. I see bikes like this on the local bike path regularly.

> People ride on roads with no education all the time, we call them drivers. People going 20MPH on a 30 pound bike aren't dangerous to others. People surfing the web while driving a 6 ton truck are dangerous to everyone.

What? Where can you drive a car without taking a driving test and getting a license?

30lb bikes going 20mph are absolutely a threat to pedestrians.

Inattentive drivers are dangerous but that's entirely irrelevant to this conversation outside of it being a reason people are scared to ride their electric motorcycles in the road.
Ah, fair caveat. I suppose the pandemic has changed things. I haven't bought myself a new computer in a few years, but last time I did, Craigslist was full to the brim with sellers.
In the last three years I think the only OS-level crashes I've had on Windows 10 were failing hardware. Of course, knowing what hardware to avoid is half the battle!
Thank you, I am glad you enjoy the post
Per core, yes. It gets set on entry and exit from the kernel for threads that have been marked as needing it.
I've dabbled with reveal-md a bit and I like it, but I really want to love it more. I found that, even as a programmer, presentation slides is one of those things that I just wish I'm using a WYSIWYG GUI editor to create. I remember trying out reveal-md; and a little while later, went back to Google Slides next time, and found it simply more liberating to write slides in a GUI. I'll admit this may simply be personal preference though. Or I simply need to give it more time to try to write slides in markdown?

Why do you ask this question? You know he doesn't. But that doesn't mean it is false.

If his username is anything to go by, I'd say that there is probably a kernel of truth to his statement. After all, people don't just make up stories about ketamine and nitrous addictions.

Especially since dying in a house fire isn't a usual route to go. It might make sense he was on ketamine and somehow a fire started (he probably didn't intentionally start a fire), and couldn't get out. It's very hard to walk straight on ketamine. You end up walking like a robot.

Edit: but the real reason I believe these claims is because my gut says it is true. Not the best reason, of course. But not a bad reason either.
Don't you think there are a lot of worthwhile, "non-professional" skills to learn as well? I recently read an article about a programmer who learned woodworking, and summarily quit his job to be a woodworker in some rural area, and loved it!

I'm sure there's a lot out there that might interest you, that could turn into a profession you actually enjoy. Just a thought :)
Note that carbon fiber bikes cannot have child seats or other heavy attachments.
Hiking gear can be remarkably impractical for most people most of the time. Backpacks that are not even waterproof without a cover. Boots that are heavy and "supportive" but mostly just increase fatigue. Top opening backpacks that have to be unloaded to get at something. And weird shapes that reduce the effective volume. Clothing that is too light for cold weather without a "base" and "shell".

> File systems that can decouple the notion of access and data locality from inseparability simply do not exist right now

For the record, it does. The Boomla OS has exactly that, the ability to store files in files. As in, files and directories are the same concept. It is not a posix filesystem of course and the OS is built specifically for web development. (Disclosure: I’m working on the project.)

Both of these comments miss the point.

The most significant product produced since Jobs passing is the continuous focus on developing technology in the open that can ultimately be applied to groundbreaking products.

The M1 is the natural evolution of the A series processors and the software development tools Apple has been working on in the open for years.

The next major mobile product from Apple is the natural evolution of the micronization of hardware systems seen on the Apple Watch, tied together with secure and private storage of personal data.

Like iPhone and iPad, Apple Watch is a great product in of itself. But the true product of Apple has been focused iterative delivery.
I could write a book on the headaches of getting certain hardware to actually go to an IRQ and/or address that won't conflict with another device. That hell went from MS-DOS all the way into Windows 98 and only went away once Windows 2000/XP made PnP actually work reliably.
Hydropower when in form of pumped hydro could play and important part in renewable future. Quebec and Canada can actually become a battery for New England offshore wind power.

Well, it's certainly hard to define. Just as any grocery store can slap an "all-natural" label on nearly any product, so too can we.

But my point here is more that we are not consciously-created products, at least not yet. For now, we're still the results of a "natural" evolutionary process.
The UK could have started its first lockdown much earlier, and imposed quarantine on all arrivals. Then lifted the lockdown in areas with no spread, while keeping the quarantine. It's not like it was a mystery what was happening, once we'd seen what happened in Wuhan. China had the hardest job, dealing with a newly discovered infection, but has been among the least affected countries.
The author mentioned "the Haiku operating system each application is one package, and each package is one file that is loop-mounted into the filesystem to make its contents accessible."

Now if you don't ever need to interact with application files why invent all this complexity when you can just expose the files individually and not ever care about that again.

The amount of speculation with regards to this topic among “engineers” and “innovators” is kind of amazing.

The HN community appears to be no more rational or evidence-based finders of fact than those found in the comments section of Fox News or the New York Times.

What hope do we have if the creators and maintainers are prone to the same proclivities as the users?
Since your explanation of the technical details here is by far the most robust I've seen in this thread, I ask you, as a layman on this subject, if you'd be willing to briefly mention what distinguishes the plausible mechanics or feasibility of the bubble described from “Introducing Physical Warp Drives” (in the link) and the warp bubble using negative energy as originally described by Miguel Alcubierre?

"without evidence or data"

It seems worth noting that although this essay doesn't have a lot of the way in evidence/data, it is likely informed by PG's extensive experience as a startup investor. I would guess that YC has a proprietary dataset of the startups they've funded that they use to test hypotheses etc.

The "ls >output" example exposes a subtle artifact of the implementation: the output file will contain its own name.
When I’m going for a run or to the gym I plan ahead, get enough sleep, eat a good meal well beforehand, change into suitable clothes and footwear, and shower afterwards. I don’t appreciate dealing with all of that in the moment I realize I need something else from the grocery store. Ebike is a godsend as it means I don’t just automatically drive. When I’m riding just to ride, then I’ll take out the traditional bike.
I have been through this before. Losing my friends and multiple conflicting accounts about how they might have passed away. In the end, when the dust settles, it always seems ends up being the same two headed-demon that has i have lost many friends to: a silent fight with cancer or speedball.

With anything this public, such questions will inevitably arise. It was not my intention to be ghoulish or inconsiderate in asking the question.

A family member of mine died in a house fire as well, and her death prompted the development of new insulation safety standards in Germany (this being a number of decades ago). Knowing what led to this fire is of interest to me.

I've edited my grandparent comment to remove the link to his Wikipedia page, and default to the heavy.com link posted above.
Ongoing semi-lockdowns, presumably until the majority of the population can be vaccinated, plus the affect of the infection on individuals along with their medical costs and absence from work has a cost too.
Same. Unfortunately the internet isn't what it once was. I can't say I'm optimistic this strategy would work out for today's youth.

It would be more accurate to describe Apple was the only customer willing to pay and has enough volume.
> What? Where can you drive a car without taking a driving test and getting a license?

In the US, driving instruction is basic, and easy to pass and most people have long forgotten it. Trying to suggest they are "Educated" is ridiculous.

> 30lb going 20mph bikes are absolutely a threat to pedestrians.

Absolute nonsense. The number of pedestrians injured each year by cyclists is tiny, likely zero most years. eBikes don't change this because fundamentally. Cyclists (acoustic or electric) are much more alert than car drivers because if you aren't alert on a bike you get smashed by someone in a car. Cyclists don't hit pedestrians out of self preservation. Hit a pedestrian and it's going to fucking hurt. People in cars hit pedestrians without even noticing.

That's completely irrelevant. Some cycling paths in my area are mixed pedestrian and cycle. Mostly they are mixed car and cycle. There are a handful of dedicated bike paths but those often have pedestrians on them anyway. Good luck changing that.

The semantics of "bike path" are not interesting here. I ride my bike at around 8mph. I don't pass many conventional bicycles. I don't get passed by conventional cycles much either. When I do it is often by someone on an e-bike going twice as fast.
Anything to avoid admitting that a cop killed a black man in cold blood by kneeling on his neck for eight minutes, even after he said "I can't breathe" repeatedly.

> because filming onlookers challenged the authority of the cop, and the cop was afraid to have to fight Big Floyd.

Are you suggesting that cops are such snowflakes that they can't do their jobs if a civilian criticizes them? I'm struggling to think of any other customer-facing job where that would be acceptable. This is like suggesting that it's fine if a waiter throws your meal in the trash and refuses to comp you because you complained that it was taking too long. They would be fired on the spot, for the crime of slightly inconveniencing you!

Also, there were FOUR cops there. Are you trying to suggest that an experienced cop, with three other cops present, was afraid of one guy who was supposedly so incapacitated that he was actively dying before even being subdued?
I don't think that's at all true. Wealthy health care consumers are generally not price conscious.

If we wanted to continue to run Zend we would have had to build out the entire supporting toolchain, from system package up. FB servers at the time ran on an ancient Linux distribution (I don’t remember if it was ever made public so I won’t say) with security patches and a modern kernel, so the system PHP was 4.2 or something similarly unusable. I think our server team eventually disabled the package because it kept causing problems when it was inadvertently installed.

And if we went that route, we would have had to build Thrift bindings and write all the glue code for any other internal service we wanted to talk to. They all had official client libraries, but they weren’t built for Zend anymore, and since they were frequent targets of micro-optimizations, they would no longer run on it. We would have been the sole maintainers of this alternate distribution and libraries, as well. And THEN we would have had to talk to the server team and convince them that it’s cool install this custom package that directly conflicts with some of the most important code we run that’s literally maintained by a team of PhDs and industry luminaries, but we pinky swear it won’t mess up. (Ever built a .deb or .rpm?) That would have been politics, but it never got that far.

Another team had already done the work for Python to “compile” your script and all its dependencies into a self-executing compressed file. All you had to do to talk to another service was import the client libraries, write your logic, run the packager, and ship the binary. (Very Go-like, in retrospect.) It was already widely used and well-supported, as a group effort. I even fixed a few bugs. So, for this particular niche at this particular company, PHP was a victim of its success elsewhere.
I really liked the anaphylactic shock induced by putting rabbit hair into the car ventilation system of the highly allergic victim in the Midsomer Murders episode "Red in Tooth & Claw".
When species are getting extinct on Earth in our lifetime; many would be happy to give up the Moon for mining.

Is it too political? Well, you drew a tangent; I'm dragging it.

Political:
West was indifferent to the plight/life of middle-east people for oil in 20/21st century. Needed little/no reasons to destabilise. When we can give up part of Earth for mining; I guess we'll think little about Moon when the time(profitable Moon mining tech) suits.
The President-elect, obviously, is also not far-left.

The hurdle for driving is far beyond the hurdle for cycling. The hurdle for riding a motorcycle is even more difficult than driving a car.

Yes, roads are dangerous. This is my point.

30lb bicycles weigh a lot more than 30lb when you put riders on them. The energies involved can and do injure people.

Yes the hype is over the top with all sort of wrong / misinformation spread all over the place including on HN.

But most of those mentioned; Photoshop, Video Editing, and even Code compiling has been well tested already.
Highly recommend Go, especially for that realm. Building something else that already exists can provide a good roadmap and reference for how things are / can be done.

You could build a server, but I'd personally find something like https://nats.io (messaging) https://fission.io (serverless) or https://redis.io (cache) more interesting. You might also look at the Kubernetes ecosystem. Building a tool or service that can interact with the API can lead to new opportunities (people hiring specifically for operator experience). I work on a code generation tool (https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof) and https://github.com/cuelang/cue

I think it's quite simple, there is good evidence that younger children (U14s) get covid less than adults, and spread it less when they do have it. So schools - especially primary schools are not the issue.

Reopening universities was - students do get it, and they all live together in shared accommodation so as soon as one got it lots of them did.

I would be surprised if they're burning much fossil fuel for heating, most Australian homes use electric heating of some form. We don't really have basements, so no boilers, and gas heaters were phased out a decade ago.

But more than the technical achievements, it's a political achievement too. Australia has been mired by coal mining influencing policy for decades, and in the past ten years states have been reacquainted with their fortitude and started making policy that helps the state and not the mining industry.

SA and Tasmania are full steam ahead on renewables and they are leading by example on just how capable new energy technologies can be when deployed with smart policy.
Nonetheless, people do in fact make that mistake -- such as the niche conformists PG mentions -- so it is worth rebutting, and doing so in an understandable manner. The fact that you may not have seen a particular mistake, does not mean the mistake is not out there (and personally, based on my own experience, I'd say this one is rather common).
Wouldn't this be more easily explained by the "plasma" theory of dark matter, and electric and magnetic fields instead of gravity?
Still implemented up to POWER9 as well, due to problem-state backwards compatibility by two generations I presume.
Glad to see this on Hacker news! Hakims experiments into CSS, HTML and JS have always been a source of inspiration for me and got me curious about the possibilities of CSS (https://github.com/hakimel / https://hakim.se/). I also have a common interest in exploring the possibilities of Markdown so I've followed Slide and reveal.js with keen interest. For a while it was my number one choice for deck building. Super easy to use and great UX and probably the best Markdown to slide deck option out there.

If you want to code something similar though, my approach has been using Svelte.

Svelte is a framework for building user interfaces that uses a build step to compile your code. The syntax and API is awesome to work with and the first proof of concept took me from Markdown to a working slide deck in maybe 30 minutes. The pages are mostly pre rendered HTML with a small chunk of JS on top. Not the same great UX but... I will get there.

Have a look at my own experiments with Markdown to slide decks here https://www.fictionboard.com/demos where I show how decks can be used for storytelling and immersion in TTRPGs.

I'll probably finish a demo of markdown based interactive fiction and RPG character sheets this week. And I'll expose the syntax :-)
