I'm not a fan of the mixed grip for someone who isn't doing this competitively, but that's personal preference. He's set up like he's going to squat it up which can be ok, but he's gripping it like a traditional deadlift, and the bar is way to far forward. If the bar were closer, he squatted a little more, and had a wide grip, he could be set up for a snatch.
Yeah, it's kind of a hard dig.

The Atlantic piece at least eventually gets around to describing the proposal. It manages to completely avoid any mention of the author's book (which I'd submitted as an addition), which is ... several shades of perplexing. The chapter extract also isn't the best though at least it points to the larger work. The two items in tandem ... kind of help get the message through?

(I'm doing some further digging on the initiative, proposal, Lewis Center, and Phillips in parallel with the discussion here. In a world of pretty tired and unimaginative suggestions regarding housing, this at least has some novel and possibly even likely elements, though it probably needs to be combined with other initiatives, most especially those discouraging idle land and real estate asset inflation. Phillips could use some coaching on persuasive writing and outreach as well....)

This is good for now.
Of course the autopilot doesn't land the plane; that's what the autoland system is for. Autoland has been available on some planes since the 1970s.

Not a whole lot of unexpected obstacles in most flight paths to avoid either. However, collision avoidance systems are available, I don't think they're commonly connected to the flight controls directly though (I could easily be wrong though, I only fly an armchair)
This is very interesting. My web development role right now is at a marketing company that works pretty exclusively with Wordpress.

I've always been so interested in learning about the next best thing that I hadn't given Wordpress much thought.

Now, using it all the time, it's popularity is very understandable as an interface for people who are not technically savvy to maintain their own website.

I feel like the Wordpress community isn't the loudest, but it is certainly a force. I think, as a brand, this move definitely has me more excited about working with their software.
So you really only would have gotten 2 spam calls had you used my method to ignore. Unless you regularly get important calls from numbers you don't know in other locales, I don't. But they can leave a message if they do.
You make it seem like a huge PITA, but in my experience it's not so bad at all.

Explorer shell integration works just fine for me (7zip etc.), what app is giving you problems?

The fact that Scoops installs apps to a specific location may be sometimes problematic, but it's also the thing that makes Scoop great. In reality it's mostly stuff like you said, a one-off process of setting the current path.

The rule of thumb for the shims is to use the path with the "current" symlink. The exe in the shims folder is just a shim for CLI use, and version-specific folders are there just for updates/rollbacks. Windows may pin the "version name" path instead of the "current" path, but Scoop actually creates correct Start menu entries for GUI apps automatically (so you can pin that) or you could manually edit a .lnk's path and pin it.
The root cause is way too little development relative to demand, orchestrated via zoning regulations. Wikipedia spells this out in detail for San Francisco [1].

> Since the 1960s, San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area have enacted strict zoning regulations. Among other restrictions, San Francisco does not allow buildings over 40 feet tall in most of the city, and has passed laws making it easier for neighbors to block developments. Partly as a result of these codes, from 2007 to 2014, the Bay Area issued building permits for only half the number of needed houses, based on the area's population growth. At the same time, there has been rapid economic growth of the high tech industry in San Francisco and nearby Silicon Valley, which has created hundreds of thousands of new jobs.

(Supply << Demand) -> Price goes up.

If we're to solve the housing affordability crisis, city councils simply need to drop onerous zoning regulations and permit construction such that supply can meet demand.

Anything short of this is just a beat-around-the-bush bandaid that hasn't and won't achieve anything. For instance, rent control. What a regressive concept, with tons of unintended consequences.

[edit] for real do you think there'd be a housing shortage or affordability crisis if the entire southern and western 3/4 of San Francisco was allowed to build up from 4 stories to 6? Basically everything other than districts 3 and 6. [2] That'd easily add 50% more housing.

I do not have concrete numbers, but would love to know for sure if anyone on HN is from the industry.

I think once your dishwasher breaks, the time you are “live” to buy is closer to a week :). Also it is (maybe?) harder to identify a person with a broken dishwasher than one who just bought one and may need another.
Yes.

The NFL is only 1 example. The MLS, and MLB operate on a cartel basis.

In baseball, american football, soccer, basketball, one can never start a neighborhood team and make it to the pros, no matter how good the team it s.

Only the franchises are allowed in, and once in , you are in as long as you pay your dues.

In the rest of the world, soccer is strictly merit based. You only stay pro as long as you can cut it.
A dump truck of sand.

Its basically the _only_ way to put them out. I doubt the average firetruck will have tools to put out a recently started EV fire for a couple of decades.
yeah but you usually don't choose between product led or sales driven. The founder creates a company, a culture is created around and this culture will stay more or less the same throughout the live of the company, so you don't choose to be product led, nor can't you advise it. It is just there or not
There is also a Tom Scott video about the test tower for the Thyssen Multi, with some more details

It will be interesting to see how it will be used. You really need someone bold enough to design a building around high capacity, 2d elevators. And if the elevators don't work out you have severe problems using the building ... Selling this has to be an uphill battle until it's proven in a few locations.
I've got a TalosII sitting under my desk, not the 7k$ BTO version but just the mainboard and 2 of the smallest CPUs.
I stuffed it into a PC chassis pretty much how you would build your average x86 desktop system.

Supporting owner-controlled computing was one point, but I also really like toying around with exotic systems, especially if they've got UNIX heritage :)
For me the Azure management portal is frustratingly slow, AWS is at least moderately responsive in comparison. I've not tried the Google stuff for years, but in my experience everything they do is ridiculously overcomplicated.

I don't really get where you're coming from on renting servers directly, using AWS is far more expensive if you actually need a server for a while.

Though I do admit being able to fire up a server for a couple of hours and then delete it is pretty awesome.
"Spending so much on a rental feels wasteful—irresponsible, even—when you could pay a similar price on a mortgage, at a constant level for the next 30 years, while also building substantial wealth"

Unless your home insurance rises every year and your monthly ownership costs double in 4 years.

Many of us lost houses in the oughts to exactly that.
I've never heard anyone say Legos, it sounds nonsensical to my ear. Lego is the system. You've got Lego men, Lego wheels and Lego bricks. If you're referring to a Lego brick as 'a Lego', then fair enough. But who does that?
It's set mostly by supply and demand across the market. The owner and the renter can get together and negotiate a small deviation based on the property's idiosyncracies, but it's the market that's primarily driving it.
I used to use one almost every day when I was studying at CVUT FEL. Sure it looks cool but riding it is not all that great. If you are alone, it's relatively fine. But when multiple people want to get in or out it becomes quite a hassle because you need to move before the lift fully reaches the floor, otherwise there's not enough time for the others. Also, do you know what happens if you touch the inside of the lift's shaft? The whole freaking thing immediately stops. Guess how I know.

If you're curious about what it actually looks like when you loop around, have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey5b3qm3-EI
I could have hacked the electric grid. Just cause someone could have done something doesn't mean that they did. This is pandering to political bias.
I personally think the reaction here, to your story, is a manifestation of techs exaltation of "meritocracy" and a rejection of the notion that, their ability, skills, technical knowledge maybe don't really matter that much in the end. Horrifying thought to many technologist.

I can imagine that being a factor in some of the reactions here. It would fit with things I've read wrt sometimes very competent people have trouble keeping a job because they are basically assholes and no one wants to work with them and no one can seem to get them the memo.

Some people want to believe that like House, as long as they are simply brilliant, people will put up with their crap.
Hum, in principle you can do arbitrary compile time transformations to the datagraph before submitting it via metaprogramming.

If you really want you could even convert the graph (fully or partially) to a runtime representation.

The core of the proposals are not about specific classes or functions other than some default algorithm implementations.

Instead they are mostly about defining concepts and protocols so that independent async domains can coexist and iteroperate in the same application.

This is similar to the STL where the most important part are the various iterator concepts and the algorithm interfaces, not the actual algo implementations and the containers.
Pros of Cloudflare Workers - they're way simpler. Their docs are nice, it's straightforward to set up a dev environment for them, it's easy to set up a key-value store for them (Cloudflare KV), secrets management is simple. Pricing is nice - it's flat $5 a month, and you get access to almost all of it. It works fast and distributed across the whole world, admin console is nicely integrated with the Cloudflare CDN dashboard.

But they're too limiting. Cloudflare Worker should be a pure JS script (that looks like a service worker script in a browser). You cannot use any Node libraries. In my app I need to generate images on the fly, so I couldn't figure out how to do that in a Cloudflare worker, so I ended up creating lambdas for those, and proxying the calls from Cloudflare worker to those lambdas.

KV (their key-value store) is way too simple. No secondary indexes, no sorting, no querying (you can only sorta query list of keys, but then you have to fetch a record by each key individually). My app hit the limits of KV very quickly.

Also, there's no monitoring or any good way to do backups for KV. So, it's almost unusable in a real-world production system, except as maybe a cache layer.

Monitoring was a big pain for Cloudflare Workers. Like, even accessing production logs is weird - you have to "tail" them from your CLI. Even Cloudwatch is 100x better here.

Development environment is okay, I guess, but the local server crashes constantly. Also, it kinda forces you to use Webpack and bundle the sources. It also doesn't have anything like layers in AWS lambdas, and they have a limit of 1MB for a bundle, which I almost hit (I had like a 900kb JS file), so that part got me worried too.

Basically all of that made me worry I will hit a wall soon with Cloudflare Workers, so I moved to AWS. It's not piece of cake too, but at least I get a way to run proper Node scripts, a decent document database, continuous backups and pretty good monitoring out of the box.
Sound a little like Tilt, Skaffold or build packs?
Of course it is not a good fit for SQLite. I was pointing out only that its latency is not bad (at least for for read mostly workload). There is common misconception that SQLite is OK only if the load is very low (<1rps), but in practice you can use SQLite for much higher load if you app stays within one host.
In Brave browser reader mode is not enabled if shield is enabled for the site. So I had to disable shield to see reader mode. Not intuitive, but there is work around.

Submerge them in a container filled with water, [1].

Yeah, the rules are not great right now. When you drop sand into the water for instance it absorbs the water.
I ask "what's the worst thing about working for $COMPANY", and if they answer with a variation of "the worst thing is how awesome it is" and there is time I push for something deeper. You get some quite interesting answers.
Buzzcut every few months. A quality hair trimmer (mine's Moser 1400) makes a HUGE difference.
Why is any state preferred over any other state?
It's easy for me. If the manager is a charming salesperson, they are a bad manager.
Does someone know why this article is flagged ?

Genuinely curious on how it is breaking rules.
They've said they're going to disable FLoC. Still, this is one of the benefits of Firefox, it's not based on Chromium at all so it's out of the question.
Cool reference!!! Thank you!
I agree. See also this quote:

> Confining her to a secure unit and forcing her to eat had been pointless.

This is absolutely not true. If they did not do this and the desease or another workaround was not discovered, she would likely have died.
Oooh, that's very cool.
This article contains no new revelations on top of previous articles:

"Huawei’s says it never acted inappropriately by abusing its position in the Netherlands. KPN says in a response that it has no indications that lines were tapped or that customer data was stolen."
What if the agencies are the ones that created bitcoin?
When Rhode Island accidentally legalized prostitution, rape dropped dramatically.

This falls in line with the old economic school of how value is created, which fell in disfavor because it didn’t sit right with the upper classes, for clear reasons.
Quickly connect a bunch of fans to them, which will then blow the flames out or drain the batteries. Whichever comes first.
Just for the record, people who study the problem space concerning traffic safety have disavowed the word "accident" because it all too often dismisses the preventable root causes that can be learned from here.

It'd be nice if folks here would be mindful of the role language plays. Here's also a preemptive "intention doesn't matter" because the first post I share covers that in the section "The Semantics of Intention", where it argues that the decisions have already been made in both the designs of our streets and in the choices people make behind the wheel, and those have known and changeable outcomes.

last edit I swear, but a good catchphrase I've seen recently that I'll be pinching is "Accidents happen, crashes don’t have to."
That would be fun trying to see that happen in a public referendum. Crypto is people-friendly or at least gives the illusion of meritocracy and equality.

Otherwise, people could still trade on off-shore exchanges, and exchange secretly (drugs are still selling on the streets, aren't they?) on the streets.
Electrical fires regularly kick off gasoline fires in ice vehicles.
How are 3 out of 3 replies discussing what the fire-department should do from a training and policy perspective and nobody commenting on the science/engineering of dealing with a EV fire.
> I have literally never heard of a Tesla bursting into flames while parked in a garage.

Maybe a quick search would help you find the answer for yourself before making such comment.

See for instance this article compiling a couple examples: https://www.thedrive.com/news/28420/parked-teslas-keep-catch...

Some of the occurrences are while the vehicle is being charged, some are simply when the car is parked.
I gained a ton of weight after I stopped smoking. To take it off and keep it off, I made several similar changes.

I stopped drinking sweetened drinks, cut out refined carbs, and took up learning to cook everything from scratch as my new hobby. (It's hard to really get the sugar in your diet under control unless you cook everything from scratch.)

I didn't change my level of physical activity.

This has worked to keep the weight off for more than a decade.
Except Visual C++ and C++ Builder, among others, do have all those features you say C++ doesn't have by focusing on clang.

C++ is not one trick pony, it is an ISO standard with multiple implementations.
This is incredibly well-written. This sentence in particular:

> Chesterton notwithstanding, the fastest way to learn why a fence exists is to tear it down and see what happens.
The world, particularly the US, is full of over-promised marketing that borders on outright lying.

How many products and services on the market in the US use bold names and labels to suggest or even directly state a feature that in actuality doesn't come close to the expectation?

But on the autopilot topic, I would say it is you and the general public that has deemed "autopilot" to mean something that it historically does not mean. The most common use of autopilot is in aircraft, and in that domain it can be very crude and simple or highly automated. But with the exception of advanced autopilot systems in modern commercial jets, typical autopilot system merely hold a set heading, pitch, and level.

Even the FAA says this: "While the autopilot relieves you from manually manipulating the flight controls, you must maintain vigilance over the system to ensure that it performs the intended functions and the aircraft remains within acceptable parameters of altitudes, airspeeds, and airspace limits."

There are a lot of modern devices which can be very dangerous to use without some education. I would think someone willing to trust their car to drive them with no supervision is just dangerously foolish, and is possibly the same kind of person who might accidentally kill their buddy by flying a drone too fast and hitting him with it.

You can't dummy-proof everything. I doubt that the Tesla owner's manual says, "This autopilot system does absolutely everything. You can't crash it!" Instead I believe it tells you all the rules that you need to follow when using the autopilot. If you don't follow the instructions, that's on you.
A time unit can only be divided by a time unit (or integer converted to a time unit)? That doesn't make sense to an engineer or mathematician.
I think zoning, especially single-use zoning, is much less common outside of the US. So I don't think it accounts for the global success of AirBnB.
Agreed. Thanks for helping re-rail the train.
Exactly this. Lego is the construction brand. The individual pieces are bricks et al.
With a good convention, even more important, structure can be derived and deduced, without reading the documentation. I love it, when i begin to grasp the structure of a codebase, write a line and hit auto-complete and the codebase was reliable. Functionname exists and parameters expected are served up.
The code just feels so much more discover-able in such moments.
As I did a lot of couchsurfing in the past and used AirBnB from time to time, I think the goal of the platforms is somewhat different.

At couchsurfing the rating of a person was quite important, if you had a good rating (which meant you hosted people and let them have a good time), the chance of beeing accepted at other couches was higher. Thus, beeing a good host, maximised your chances to having extraordinary travel experiences yourself at other couchsurfing places. Additionally, couchsurfing was a place to find likeminded people and even create friendships.

At AirBnb your goal is to earn money and you don't care who is hosting you or who your guests are, as long as they follow the house rules.
Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding but isn't this the exact situation that the clubs are proposing?
Well that's obvious, but really it's a shame to force reader mode on such a beautiful site. And fonts there were selected with some purpose it seems, it's just that font hinting on Windows makes them off, they probably look good on Macintosh.
> The root cause is way too little development relative to demand, and zoning regulations.

Trying to mimic 1960s TV neighborhoods thru single use zoning regs has not served our country well.
This example is not good for talking about naming as there is no proper design which would have a function like this. In any proper design there would always be a separate function for each of the concerns.
Wiki mentions his left-wing anarchic persuasion. I admit I've only read "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", but I honestly can't see any political taint to his work. Sure, it highlights the evils of raw capitalism, but, outside of the anarcho-capitalists, I don't think you'll find much argument t here. It's a very fine novel, and has a lot to say about the human condition.
Of course it depends; but an option that has recently become available in quite a few areas is getting a "Business Internet" account rather than the typical consumer Internet account for your home. The main difference being 1) as a business you'll receive symmetric service, meaning the same high speed upload as your existing high speed download, 2) because "you're a business" you're expected/allowed to be running servers and 3) the Business Internet accounts I've seen come with an SSL cert. I recently moved from Los Angeles to Denver, and in both areas such "Business Internet" accounts are available with telephone bundles at about the same price as a consumer Internet + streaming media services. And you can keep your same streaming media services, they don't care if your Internet is consumer or not.

Once you have the Business Internet, run a PI cluster, get a NUC on the faster side and load it with VMs, serve your resume from a static site off you're old not-used-anymore PC, do whatever you want.
This, absolutely. I don't think any of my javascript, python projects, or even golang (pre-modules) would even build after a clean checkout. My maven projects? Sure they will build, and the tests will run just like the last time. Java is not exciting, it's just fine. I really don't get the level of hate Java gets in certain circles. It's like people are putting their entire identity on the line based on their currently preferred programming language.
