Much as I'd love to have L5 self-driving today, it would probably be at least a little funny to see the number of people on this board insisting it would be available in 2018 or 2019 and certainly not many years out.
I’ve wondered about this for a while after hearing an impressive setup visiting someone’s house using mostly equipment from the 90s.

Are there any particular brands or models to look for?
heya good question!

there's a few players in this space and I'd encourage anyone to look around to find the one best suited to their workflow, they're all great tools.

I wrote localhost.run as a natural evolution from a SSH reverse tunnel I had running on an EC2 instance, I was using it to develop webhooks. I thought it was neat that I didn't have to download a client to use it so I opened it up to the world not long after.

webhook.site looks great, I've been using requestbin.com for years which is a similar tool. I'd place these in my pre-development toolkit, where I only want to see the shape of hooks rather than react to them. Once I start working on handling those webhooks tho I find it more useful to pull development back to my local development environment, and that's where a tunneling tool like localhost.run can speed up my feedback loop significantly.

I hope you too find it useful, please do tell me more about something you use it for in the future!
My (non-expert) view on this:

If China attacks Taiwan (and the TSMC fabs are destroyed), everyone loses, including China. In the short term, it would probably hurt the West more, but once fabs in the West start spinning up, China would risk being embargoed from the most efficient chips, putting them far behind until they can catch up. (All the lithography machines seem to be coming from ASML in the Netherlands).

This may change in 5 years or so when China has caught up more, and is less dependent on TSMC chips. And China has patience. They'll deal with Hong Kong and Xinjiang first, ensure independence, then invade.

> If the takeaway is, "never work on internal tools," I've worked at companies where the internal tools were more valuable than anything customer-facing.

Yes, but they're exceptions.

> Overall impact is more helpful than resume points, IME, especially when references are involved.

The vast majority of the best paying jobs out there (FAANG), don't care at all about references.

It's a big world, it depends a lot in which circles you move around, I guess.

It has emotional value.
The problem are high taxes (for employees) which means it is expensive to retain talent plus mountains of bureaucracy and more taxes.
I used to think the same until I got my first set of 300$ headphones (QC 35). There is very real difference between those and any 30$ earbuds. You hear the music in a very different way.

This sucks. Parents are setup for failure with demanding jobs and low wages. They need more time with children. Public school used to be small classes... now they are basically useless and do more harm than good for the majority.

Things are going to get worse unless there is a huge reversal with education, nutrition and the idea of success in life.
As I read it, it’s even more specific - they’re talking about the ‘City Streets’ package - and suggesting that the functionality with this particular name will stay <=level 2.

This as they develop further functionality, maybe >level 2x they’ll name it something different.

(It’s silly how even anti-Tesla articles fall foul of the ‘anything Tesla-related is worthy of an article’ click-bait approach. There really isn’t anything to see here.)
I have asked a few times at work if we can drop safari support because it’s blocking so many new features. No luck so far.
I'd be willing to throw twice that money at it, but want also bundled the original dead parrot.
Of course, it is closer to the author.

I am fully aware of what I am saying: things have value not only because of what they are or what they are made of, they have value for other reasons.

NFT people claim things only have value because of what they are, an art piece has value because it is an art piece, because it is beautiful to look at or whatever, and that visual property can be stored on the blockchain. That is where they are failing. They are missing 99% of the reasons things have value, and why they cannot understand two seemingly identical things having widely different values.
I expect it to report type errors by default with an option to ignore them. Same as Typescript.
The title implies that "[All] vaccines are effective against [all] variants", but that's a lie. And when people realize this, they'll lose trust in vaccines in general.
I hate how the passenger is absolutely amazed and always commenting how well the car handles some minor tasks while it fails miserably at double parking, turning, and most importantly driving predictably for other cars.

The driver is luckily a lot more skeptical but that could be attributed to the fact the he is the one being highly alert and keeping the car from running into things.
Not quite true see at least article 5 of the Swiss law granting it. https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/2009/541/fr. 45 organizations in Switzerland have been given roughly equivalent rights, and more exist in other countries.

But this is what makes an "international" organization. A promise that the local cops won't hassle your staff and invade your premises just because they don't like you.
Slightly misleading headline. The Tesla spokesperson said the 'Auto Steering on City Streets', which is the formal name of the feature currently in beta, will remain hands on, basically because it's illegal to do anything otherwise. That doesn't mean they aren't pursuing FSD and won't release it to the public, but that it needs to be done with regulatory approval.

Dan Held on a podcast made the point that NFTs, like ICOs, will scale to suck up all of the available [foolish] money and then collapse.
Am I alone in that I really don't like using flatpaks or snaps over debs. All the software I've installed from both tends to be buggy and unoptimized. Inkscape from flatpak crashes, Kate can't access system themes, steam barely works and doesn't understand the permission system. It feels so much like these projects are taking software and stuffing it into a box it was never meant to fit. Also I don't really think the problem it fixes really exists. People who use Linux know what they're installing and I don't sandboxing really achieves anything other than getting in the way.
Still don’t really understand what your objection here is. As the parent to your comment said: the OP never said don’t do it, they just said don’t stop once the code is checked in and follow up by pointing out the value to others incase it’s not obvious.
I would be more careful about comparing "match" and "switch". If people assume that the match operator is a switch operator, they will not be able to explain the difference between these two behaviors: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26082225.

I get it that you can use "match" as if it were a "switch", but I think it's important to drill in every Python developer's head that they are not the same thing.
That is very surprising. Though I guess if you haven't used any other EDA software maybe you just didn't notice the really bad bits.

Give Horizon a try - it's really much better!
If you “improve admin interface load times by 20%” do the calculation on what that is in saved time and possible money over 5 years. Then you have both.

You should of course have someone in management agree to your numbers and approve that you can use it on your CV.
The usual UI indication for a feature like this is for the selection rectangle to be green in one mode, blue in the other. Or something along those lines.

As so many submissions around here demonstrate, though, UI design ain't what it used to be.
That's what I remember. At some point is all of this advertising? a well-known property that people are aware of?

I don't understand you properly.

Apple is famously slow or simply refusing to implement features that Chrome, Edge and Firefox have adopted. Many of these features are critical for certain applications. Gaming being one of them.

How is this a developer's fault?

1. I need feature x - either to implement an aspect of my app at all - or at least to do it in a way that doesn't require a large amount of extra work and cost.
2. Feature x exists in every major browser except Safari
3. I choose to exclude Safari.

My only options as a developer are to spend a ton more time or cash (assuming it's even possible at all) or to build something different.

And this might be a solo project or a project with no realistic hope of paying for my time.

We used headless wordpress a lot and it has its moments. Its just a big 'ol php database crud app that gets unneccesary hate. The wordpress community is one of the most helpful so of you are leaning towards WP - have at it. It's cost effective and gets things done. Few things can beat the WP/[insert page builder]/ACF/woocommerce combo

I've done custom work with Strapi and if your shop has a lot of 'roll your own' money to throw around - then sure go for strapi, butterCMS and their ilk. There are great tools out there.
I agree, and you’re actually supporting my argument with additional reasons against OP haha.

But in the case of a research blog about a new research paper I think my point above trends closer to true, as the novelty of the subject guarantees novelty of the blog.

A whole lot of other goods are only expensive because people want to show off their ability to buy expensive things, and for a certain subset of bragging rights, the ability to throw away huge amounts of money on something totally useless is a particularly extravagant demonstration of wealth, because spending money on something useless is a more direct demonstration of the magnitude of your wealth than buying something that you can safely sell again to recoup most of your expense.

For what it's worth, I agree with you in general. It's a ridiculous waste of money. But at the same time it's very clear that some people are impressed by this kind of thing.

Not OP, but it could still be an average (either weighted or not) and have a requirement to pass certain things to be eligible to pass. One of my core CS classes had the requirement that you had to complete at least 1 project, complete all daily assignments, and pass at least 4 of the 6 lab tests. However the overall grade for the class once you met those requirements was just an average like it was for my other classes.
The difference between $30 and $300 headphones is significant, but the difference between $300 and $3000 headphones is likely pretty small.
I think this an unfair characterization of contemporary art. I don’t consider myself an expert by any means, but I’ve been to a couple of contemporary art museums (Mass MoCA and one in Kanazawa) and enjoyed both experiences. I believe that the bulk of artists producing contemporary art work very hard at their craft for very little reward. Certainly most of the works I saw featured looked like they required a lot of effort to think up and execute. There were also certainly some pieces that raised an eyebrow and made me think “that’s art?”, but that’s part of the fun IMO.

The art collector market is where things tend to go sideways. Collectors do often seem to value the name on the signature over everything else. But in most cases when you see those crazy high sale prices at auction, the money is not going to the artist but rather to some other collector. So I don’t think it’s fair to call an entire genre of art a “con” just because of how rich art collectors behave.

A great start for a truly open approach. It's ironic that OpenAI isn't particularly open about its tech.
Probably, I haven't tried those myself tho.
I think it’s all about the narrative. If you believe deeply enough in the long-term outcome, there’s a lot that a person can overlook along the way.
Yes, ironically the networks is more secure when people do what you did, as you reduce the number of devices exposed to the "broadcast/multicast storm babble", and avoid contributing to it further. There's an awful lot of Spotify and Dropbox mDNS and local device discovery traffic that people never see until they run a network!

Our "shadow IT" ended up so significant that we ended up able to directly request firewall changes and just send in the rule lines (in the correct format for the edge firewalls used) and they would be applied for us within the hour...
If optimizing an internal tool can raise profits by 20%, I don't understand your disagreement. The comment you're replying to mentioned profits vs. unnoticed efficiency, not internal tools vs. consumer-facing software.

If it makes a big impact, it makes a big impact.

> If you're great at optimizing SQL, probably just doing that in any place you can get your hands on will make a pretty big impact.

This seems like an argument that there are no priorities and no things that are more important than other things. I don't think you believe that.
What's a funny coincidence is that I've been thinking about almost exactly this for a little while.

Just in the last two weeks I decided to create a podcast where I interview the exact types of developers who optimize SQL inside business apps.

In fact, literally just last night I recorded and uploaded (to YouTube and the various podcast platforms) episode zero. Not an actual interview yet, but a statement of purpose and a placeholder so I can hopefully have a small audience on release day. (I'm hoping for about 50 subs by the time I launch the first)

I was 100% not going to promote on HN until after I had at least 10 episodes published... but fundamentally it was born out of a desire to attempt to solve for the "unsexy" programmer.

I feel like the comment about voting makes perfect sense? They’re saying that children don’t vote, but old people do, so of course it’s the latter group that gets the most resources - they vote, so they have power over politicians, so politicians cater to them.

That said, I think you have a good point with the rest of your comment.

Edit: Oh I think I see the confusion now. Did the grandparent change their comment? At any rate, my understanding is that they’re saying that for each dollar the government spends on a child, it’s spending three dollars on a person over 65.
There are a lot of courses that people are forced to take that have nothing to do with what they are trying to do in life. For example, nurses being forced to take an algebra (equivalent of HS algebra 1, algebra 2, trig, and and some analytic geometry). It is a big impediment for those students to pass that class and many cannot. So, nurses are selected on a skill they will never use or see again.

I can't blame students in that predicament for cheating on those kinds of courses.

They are merely jumping through the hoop. A hoop that serves no purpose, and is itself unethical.

I've seen many such students cheat on those courses so they can focus on their core learning and get on with their lives.
If China attacks Taiwan, those American customers are going to lose TSMC as a supplier either way.
Rubble, yes, but people that can rebuild it also.

But most importantly, it would paralyze everyone except them economically, as they are the only country that can't use TSMC.
Maybe it's a pet peeve of mine but the onus is not on public health institutions to prove or disprove a negative. Saying "There's not evidence of the virus _not_ spreading in Cohort X" is an almost impossible position. If you have evidence to show it's spreading, then present it, and make public policy decisions based on said evidence. If you don't have evidence, then you should not be making policy.

Much like it is literally impossible to prove antibodies for COVID-19 last for greater than a year, because the illness has not been around long enough to prove such a thing, it is also impossible to prove COVID-19 symptoms can last greater than a year.

A surface tablet with a linux image is underrated IMO. They are good and capable hardware and can be had for cheap. I don’t understand why PI is used for a tablet when its purpose is a standalone device with IO capabilities or for experimenting. I went on this path and bought a few linux first devices and while fun they did not perform even close to an consumer device which with the right image (linux) it could become a very good daily driver.

I am willing to agree for the most part.

My observations are mostly from CPS in Chicago-land so take that into consideration. The issue, and a glaring one at that, is that no one with money will let their kid go to public school if they can help it regardless of official political positions they hold, which tells you something.

To me that says that for those schools, education is not the goal.

Naturally, it is not all their fault. There are sorts of issues that are socio-economic in nature ( how much time a parent can devote to reading aloud to a child? can they hire a tutor? ).

I don't think I completely agree that we should focus on external factors only ( although we should look into them ). I am saying we should understand where that money disappears into. My house taxes are ridiculous and the statement I get suggests its mostly for schools. Where exactly is it going if it is not having appropriate results?
Year added now. Thanks!
> Are there any downsides to removing the potential for students to compensate poor test and quiz scores with strong homework and take-home work?

It facilitates cheating in a way that's almost impossible to counteract.

The other way around works though, where you work hard to make sure your final exam isn't something they can cheat on, then allow that to overide or pull up the other grades. This isn't really helpful for people with high test anxiety but it does help.

You can't get this stuff perfect, but you can make sure the result is at least fair.
I think it's total folly to bet on that staying unchallenged once someone has the ability to transport sufficient mass and volume back and forth to create sufficient financial interests in changing it.

If someone with sufficient odds of establishing a transport stranglehold started selling promises of land even with the giant caveat of it being subject to substantial changes in relevant treaties and laws, I'd suspect they'd find lots of people willing to take the risk, simply because even if it'd be extremely high risk, the potential payoff could be immense.
You can also just put Harvard on your resume. It's cheaper and takes a lot less time.

I was in college around the svn days, then git came then IDEs tried to integrate.. at best you had cute crud. First use of magit was a shocker. It's so good it makes you usage better.. crafting thin coherent commits in 2 seconds.

Out of curiosity and objectivity I tried Eclipse / IDEA git integration (a few years ago tbf).. they were still complex and distracting.

I'm not fond of org-mode it's too large imo but maybe it will fit your brain and you'll have a blast. Best feature to me is the source block (~tiny adhoc notebook).

If the painter makes countless copies, the painting would lose its value.

The value of an object is associated with who made it or who owned it or how unique it is. e.g. Hitler's car wouldn't have had its value if it was owned by someone else, despite it being no technically different from other Mercedes cars of the era.
