Meh. Put in some good subwoofers and you’ll never know the difference. :) I have been (only half jokingly) planning a electrification of an old 2-stroke Vespa or Lambretta and decided that it wouldn’t feel right unless it shook like a two stroke. So gotta put in some mechanical vibration and noise producers.
Yeah, obviously the Miata buyers are not necessarily the average young person, but that market niche is definitely there. I think the issue of which features are desirable in new vs older cars holds though. Another example could be 4x4s - 4Runners, Land Rovers, etc - most of these are bought as family cars, and those first buyers are looking for niceties like high-end stereos, leather seats, etc. But once the trucks are older, people care less about an obsolete stereo or worn leather and more about which suspension or other off-road options it has, etc.

Going down a bit of a rabbithole there, but I'm still curious to see what the perceived desirability of used electric cars turns out to be for "average" Americans.
That seems like a decent timeline to plan factory capacity and set R&D priorities. And once you have made those plans you might as well announce them if it's a topic that can make the frontpage of hacker news.

Both companies are doing things in their self-interest and "greed"

For Amazon, they are "being greedy" because large scale cloud vendors primarily benefit from commoditized open source as they can provide the cheapest offering at scale...
Pidgin is basically dead. When all the big messengers closed off their protocols, keeping compatibility became very labor intensive. It doesn't look like any FOSS has been able to do it, so I'm optimistic about Beeper.
In a way it is much easier to evaluate the condition of an EV battery than in internal combustion engine: start with a full charge and see how far you can drive. It may take some time, but there's really no way to fake a good battery for that kind of test.
Probably the same thing people do in winter in cold climates. Get an outdoor extension cord and plug the car in.
In the Windows 3.1 era I compiled different icons I could find into packs that I sold as shareware, taking $10 orders via checks in the mail and sending out 3.5" floppies in return. This is much better.
Because this is straight from James Bond movies - when villains fail to kill him as they always give him a chance to escape.

They could easily kill Navalny with gun, bomb, polonium... But no, let's poison him with something that's very lethal but in such way that he lives.
< 401k benefits

Maybe it is because I've never worked in the valley, but I can't think of a positive 401k plan experience. I do remember a lot of onboarding powerpoint with regards to penalties and limitations. The whole thing feels coercive, having to participate in the market when you aren't interested in managing the position - simply to protect your savings from intentionally set inflation rates. All those "unsophisticated investors" (no joke, that is what they call you) are arguably the cause of the dot-com bubble as well, not because people were daytrading pets.com, but because fund managers had to put that surge of disinterested capital somewhere. I imagine that if powerpoint was around back in the day, the guys managing company store credit schemes would have functioned much like today's HR reps.
And GAIM was based on Gamera, the official AOL Linux client.
You can create local notifications any time your app is active, which includes the background. AFAIK signal does empty APNS push to wake and then pulls data with it's own connection and then displays text content with a local notification.

The main reason for the restriction to apple-only for notification services is battery life, and they've been proven right by bad behavior demonstrated on android.

Interestingly, if your a VOIP app you can actually circumvent a lot of the background networking restrictions, but it's still hard to do when you don't have an active call in place. You also have to be an actual VOIP app to get approved with that entitlement. Which wouldn't be hard to get approval for if you made a fork of signal for example, since it does have real VOIP capabilities inside.

Either way the battery life of your device would be worse with your custom VOIP app always keeping a connection open vs. apple's native OS notification system.
What is the point of using a social platform, if not to be a place to connect with people?
They're killing Hangouts soon, so this is probably moot anyway.

I had an opportunity to ask Jeff Dean what his favorite Jeff Dean joke was and he said:
"When Jeff Dean opens the profiler, loops unroll themselves in fear"
Who are you talking about when you say "the left"? cuz in the US there are barely any leftist politicians.
The number of people in the UK and Ireland that have to park overnight on the street is way too high to start banning ICE vehicles within the next decade. Electric infrastructure isn't enough, they will have to completely revamp entire neighborhoods to provide space for permanent and predictable overnight parking for residents.
Right, and that isn't a vehicle that (most) single car households want.
It should be really easy to check the battery’s level of degradation.

When I was buying my leaf, every posting had a picture of the range readout fully charged.
> If massive amounts of people move to electric vehicles gas prices will fall.

This isn't entirely true. The cost of gas has a hard floor due to the cost of extracting oil from the ground. Nobody is spending $40 a barrel to extract oil that's selling for $25 a barrel. So if oil demand falls and prices fall, many of the current sellers pull out of the market entirely.

On top of that, as the number of cars going to gas stations starts to drop, gas stations will get less profitable. As profits drop, stations start closing down. Eventually, enough stations close down and it becomes inconvenient to own and operate an ICE vehicle regardless of the cost of fuel.
You don't see very much spam arriving at the Eternal September or AIOE news servers.

It's pretty much fine as a discussion forum.

Things have been lively in comp.lang.c recently with a little coding exercise going on and such.

comp.unix.programmer and comp.unix.shell are active also.

comp.theory has been quite active due to a crackpot who insists that he has solved the halting problem, or at least refuted common halting proofs using a nested x86 simulator that detects recursion, haha.
Another option is to run a web GUI like cgit, gitweb, Gitea, or Gogs without exposing it to the internet (so it's only accessible at http://localhost:8888 or similar).

When you want to view it from another machine you can just use SSH port forwarding, like:

ssh -L 8888:localhost:8888 user@hostname
And Google did not initially made Blink.

Assuming charging will take at least 15 minutes or so, you really would like to be able to charge somewhere that doesn't involve hanging around a crappy convenience store while your car charges. A deadish mall near me has some Tela chargers right next to a popular grocery store. I expect that sort of thing will be fairly common.
I’m curious, does anyone reading this think net neutrality is bad?
FWIW, it does drive engagement. Like many things, you can enumerate risks a priori and never act, or you can act boldly, see how things go, and introduce limitations a postiori to prevent further egregious harm.

During the Arab Spring, it looked like doing this stuff online was a net positive for human rights. We've seen the other side, too... and now it seems that Twitter doesn't want to facilitate the escalation of national conflict.
We Love Johnny Lawrence in Cobra Kai
Hey everyone! Just thought I'd share a video on Johnny Lawrence in Cobra Kai and why we can relate to him so much!
Thanks. I wonder why the python module instructions didnt just say to do that. Must not be widely known?
Amazon customer here. We use Elastic's offering because it has a fairly good management layer. That said, there's a lot of room for either player to improve things. One example is user/access management. Kibana tries to be all things to all people and ends up doing very few of them well. If I never had to log into Kibana again it would be a good day.

Amazing thanks! Will be adding a few hundred each week (at minimum), so if you want you can mark that it's continually being updated :)
All of Telegram's chat clients are open-source and they provide libraries and encourage people to develop new clients if they'd like.
I mean, Iran's Supreme Leader has always been saying outrageous, hateful shit. That's part and parcel of its regressive revolution, although no doubt social media isn't helping. In America, we have divisive leaders on social media because social media created a divisive culture that tends to choose divisive leaders.
Yeah, you're going to find that most people are very much biased against enabling a violent coup on the government that is being really good to them. A coup that, if successful, has the potential to endanger their entire business, their wealth, and possibly their lives.

BTW, "you're biased" is not, in and of itself, a reason to entirely shut down an argument as invalid.
It’s a shame v6 uuids didn’t become a thing[1]. It’s the entire reason they were invented.

Thanks for this, great resource. Perfect for one of my in-development projects.
“ If any engineer on your team can merge a set of changes to main, secure in the knowledge that 15 minutes later their changes will have been tested and deployed to production, with no human gates or manual intervention required, then congratulations! You’re doing CI/CD.”

We absolutely do this and I don’t think we are THAT unusual.

Also, as you hit larger scale it’s questionable whether this is still a good idea. We are about 50 engineers and our CD means we release to production about 10 times a day, on average. At that pace, some tricky things start to happen: a metric starts to move sideways and it’s hard to actually correlate it to a release - you may have to roll back across multiple releases, which can create a fairly confusing situation for the team.
Because it’s the law is why. It is interesting though how completely unwilling the US government is to rein in big tech. The Europeans have no such reluctance and are well within their rights.
Go read the methodology section: they're explicitly looking for ISPs that do packet inspection, not just speed differences from site to device.
Probably the more important point is that he was born into a brahmin family. Brahmin culture is heavily focused on learning and knowledge (a bit similar to jewish culture).
Sadly, Nissan has jacked up the price of battery replacement to I think 8k now, which turns my car into scrap in 5 years unless a third party steps in.
I don't know why you assert this. It is the concern for literally every person I know who would otherwise have bought an EV, including myself.

People like the freedom to take longer road trips without meticulous planning, and without sticking to certain interstate routes which skip the interesting parts of the country.

What's anarthemability?
One of my recurring daydreams is that 10 years from now we'll have mini charging stations on city streets by default. It'd really make EVs so much more accessible to the masses.
Yep that's on my todo for the next major release. Also hoping to let people group together multiple icon sets and download them all at once.
I would offer looking more towards understanding architecture and systems design. How modern applications are deployed has significantly changed since many of these languages were designed and documented. Most tutorials will force the narrative inwardly, into language centrist processes and instruction, leaving really important design decisions/concerns entirely out of the picture.

Since you say you have a handle on TypeScript - that means you have enough conceptual understanding to really move to "any other web orientated language" with only mild idiomatic barriers to overcome. IMHO - learn about the concepts of microservices, api-gateways, "serverless" and similar. Then decide for yourself, what problem you'd like to solve - pick the language last

Edit: Since "employ-ability" is a desired outcome ~ python/dotnet/java/nodejs - no specific order of recommendation from me

Unless they get better charging times, a total nightmare.
I take it you have not experienced the consistent lack of vision or competence from the last several Seattle city mayors[1].

Does nobody think they could provide shared charging infrastructure for people who live there?

I say this as a dyed-in-the-wool progressive: no, no one here thinks that the mayor of Seattle would be able to do this.

We have a mayoral election coming up in November. There's an outside chance that things might change for the better, but I'm not really holding my breath.

Of course; the parent likely meant something more like "even if hypothetically there is a strong or very strong genetic component". It's undeniable there is one, but the responsibility is still hotly debated. I've seen claims between 20 - 90%.

I think their point was that no matter how strong it might be, it often may not visibly materialize due to various environmental factors, including passive or active suppression and the way our societies and economies are organized. So assuming for the sake of argument it's 50% or even 90%, there are still a lot of reasons why such gifted people may not get recognized and/or reach their full potential.

Ramanujan very easily could've died with almost no one remembering him if none of the letters he wrote were taken seriously. The first two mathematicians he contacted ignored him. If not for the third, G. H. Hardy, giving him a chance, we might not be talking about him. And even he initially suspected he was a fraud of some kind, until he scrutinized the work more carefully and shared it with others.
>I’m personally of the opinion that if you don’t like what government does, vote to stop them from doing it.

When do we get to vote on the "no killing people based on shoddy intelligence" line item exactly?

Hell, we don't even get to vote for who we want to be president (the electoral college does that and it's certainly not one person, one vote).
That improvement in image quality requires Apple Cortex CPUs due to Apple’s implementation strategies for cameras. I expect Apple will update the cameras in future laptop models as Apple Silicon arrives fully across their product lines, likely using the same package from their phones.
The point of having a Bentley or Rolls-Royce isn't to drive a Bentley. It's to be driven in one.
Also, the cost to extract oil is higher in some regions and production will drop off as prices drop. Canadian sands oil and shale oil both cost about $40/ barrel to extract so there isn't a ton of room for prices to go down from here before big chunks of supply vanish.
Yeah, and I don't buy it. It has two points - Navalny is important and the West needs to retaliate against Russia further and that Russian services are ineffective and outdated, i.e. undermine its credibility where agents could be called and reveal secrets over the phone without any authentication and authorization protocols.
Frankly your bad-faith commentary isn't helping the conversation either. I sincerely appreciate your cleaning up the tone at the end.
"Is it hard? Yes, it is hard. But I hope I’ve convinced you that it is worth doing. It is life changing. It is our bridge to the sociotechnical systems of tomorrow, and more of us need to make this leap. What is your plan for achieving CI/CD in 2021?"

At Release[0] we discussed this in our Build vs Buy[1] page, specifically in the section "Is building a PaaS your core competency?" Companies should be focused on building their product and delivering the value of that product to their customers, not spending years building out a platform to achieve CD.

My hope is that people's plan for achieving CI/CD in 2021 includes looking at all the companies working in this space and give them a chance rather than trying to spin something up on their own.

How do you bring up the topic of brain fog to your doctor?

I constantly see at least parts of my desktop wallpaper peeking out from around and in between whatever windows I have open. (I personally have never felt any need or desire to use apps in full-screen mode.)
Right. I wonder if the Arduino version will be better for this, or whether we might need to wait for future boards from RPi.
> This (and Signal now replacing the cryptographically shattered iMessage) is probably the main reason I'm switching to Android

Android seems to be headed the opposite direction from Apple when it comes to background service execution and network connectivity. I wouldn't be surprised if background network connections are the next thing to go.

> which means that federated stuff is basically out without providing your login details to the developer

It's definitely possible to support federated push, although it's admittedly more work for app/protocol developers: The app developer would have to set up a "push proxy" server that accepts push notifications addressed to a specific iOS device.

It would be nice if Apple was to allow optional sourcing of "anonymous" pushes for such use cases, but that doesn't seem to be in line with their desired level of control.
Hahaha oh boy: I may have been one of your customers. I had literally hundreds of folders of icons that I also wanted to keep offline incase the site went down. It was such a pain managing them.
It still strikes me as odd that a single country's regulatory body can permit / allow / license this since the sky that I look up at isn't the same bit of sky that an American would see and yet it impacts us all.

I mean – Yes, access to high speed (relatively speaking) internet access is a fantastic thing so my objections aren’t in the nimby (‘Not In My Back Yard') category. I have experienced what life is like with limited/restricted/slow bandwidth and it is limiting and disadvantaging in so very many ways.

However - Darn it - It's literal graffiti/pollution that I had absolutely Zero Yes/No say about.

Furthermore – Spotting and reporting rapidly approaching small objects (meteors etc.) is important and a fair amount of the initial sightings are from amateur telescopes.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope – it’s a Starlink.
Ok, but just to be clear, I wasn't trying to make a statement about cost; that can always be folded into the monthly payments or, as you say, philanthropically donated.
American here. We expect to be milked like dairy cows.
As a Technical PM, I fought against a former boss when they wanted to forego native controls because they wanted their app to be branded, because without a custom look they felt that their app would not be unique and memorable.

If an app can't survive on its usefulness alone, it probably shouldn't exist.

As a user, if an app doesn't have a native UI, I disregard it unless I need it for a specific and mandatory use.

Maybe in the UK, but not where I am. It was -26 this morning. Batteries don't handle such temperatures well. And the nearest civilian airport is 400km away. I haven't seen a single all-electric car in my town since I moved here over a year ago.
In car development cycles 9 years is pretty damn quick. If you truly understand the scope of how hard it is to build cars and completely switch your factory tooling and the capex involved you may feel differently...
Nah, too busy inefficiently and ineffectually spending on the homeless to care about actual tax payers.
front-facing cameras (i.e., webcams) are unnecessary on a laptop, tablet, or phone. manufacturers should remove them in favor of better supporting dedicated equipment, since they'll never be 'good enough' when video quality actually matters.

video calls have been part of the futurism canon for at least 100 years, but they still have little utility beyond a simple phone call (or even text messages in many cases). they just waste bandwidth and add anxiety and frustration (nevermind encouraging narcissism).
Own a TM3, my issue isn't traveling from city to city but its instead trips where the round trip is over two hundred but I am not traveling by any major route. There are lot of what I call "country drives" where the quick route may not involve highways and with an ICE car those country bumpkin gas stations are all you see.

So until charging becomes as ubiquitous to where the country store has "two pumps" or such people are going to find situations where it does not work or only works on a good day.

hence the reason I am an advocate of range, range, and more range. Range that lets you make big round trips without charging are the goal. I know many say "they don't need range" or whatnot and can use a short range city car, well that same rule applies to ICE but you will see the market for those small lower end lower range ICE cars was never great so why would an EV market of the same be different?

Soon even low 200 mile range BEVs will be looked at similar to how many look at the sub 150 crowd today; Mini should have been ashamed to release their car; and 250-350 will be the norm (numbers in miles, so KM is 400 to 560)
0. People who don't want a web cam on their computer at all.

I know a lot of people who have put tape over their webcam. In fact that is the policy of several departments where I work. Some people use their web cams, but a large number of people I work with never use theirs.

By using a cheap web cam manufactures can cover 1 without having to make a model without a webcam for those who don't want it - this would be more expensive than shipping a piece of tape to cover it just because they would need to design a second case and have a new part number.
It has been a few years since I went down the rabbit hole of Indus valley - I did find one recent article https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/new-study-connects...
It's good and bad. Nice that they've filtered AVCC pretty heavily-- 360Hz corner frequency-- lots of microcontroller boards don't.

Less nice that the ADC scale will be affected by power supply offset, though that all depends upon how "good" the board 3V3 is. The bandgap and error amplifier on the DC-DC converter IC is good at least-- max +/- 1%.
