> "Wiring harnesses have replaced all the vacuum lines"

Of course, now days the wiring harnesses themselves have become huge and unwieldy in many vehicles - literal miles of cables! Automakers are looking at technologies like automotive ethernet and even wireless communication in order to reduce the cost, size and complexity of wiring.

> "I share your attitude WRT modern EVs, but I bet if we just treat the controller and battery as black boxes we don't attempt to disassemble and service"

Some EV batteries are quite serviceable (eg: LEAF), with the pack being able to be disassembled right down to the cell level relatively easily. Although admittedly, some modern pack designs are moving away from this level of serviceability (eg: Tesla, whose cells are cemented in place with fire-retardant foam/glue. Disassembly is a one-way operation).

Things like motor controllers/inverters tend to be very reliable so there is rarely any need to disassemble or service them during the lifetime of the vehicle. If they do fail there's a ready supply of affordable replacement parts, thanks to salvage from crashed vehicles, so it's often easier to just replace a faulty part than attempt to service.
Yeah, seriously. It’s Basecamp. There’s a very deep bench of engineers and product people that would love to backfill the roles.

It will still be damaging short term because they lost a lot of depth in cultural and product knowledge, with the marketing and product leads gone. Not easy to replace someone who’s been living and breathing the products for over a decade.
The micro-op cache is very small, on the order of ~1.5K uops AFAIK. It can also be repopulated quite fast. So yes, the performance hit should be quite small. You should presumably also be able to reduce the performance hit if you reduce the frequency of context switches, which should get easier the more cores you have, if I'm not mistaken. That is, the OS can have its own dedicated core, and some programs can be more or less pinned to other cores where they are rarely interrupted.
People have nothing better to do with their money and want to get returns from unproductive pseudo-ponzi schemes because they see other people doing it.

How would that work for air pollution?
It’s an aerosol, fine droplets of liquid in a stream of air. It used to be the carburetor that added the fuel to the airstream (by way of the Bernoulli principle); modern cars use a fuel injector, which works on much the same principle as a spray bottle to create the fuel-air mixture directly in the cylinder.

It's because the law and financial system exalt capital at the expense of everyone else. There's no reason that labor couldn't translate into equity.

Also, the current system enforces the artificial scarcity of capital available to those who need to work for a living instead of living off of their assets.

No it wouldn't. If your phone can track an AirTag being used to stalk you, it can also alert you to this stalking.

What follows is a summary of a time bisect saved a team I was on from a lot of pain. It's been a long time so I may have some details wrong, but the point should be clear.

Years ago I worked at an e-commerce shop.

One fine day we discovered that the checkout process had been broken in a very particular corner case at some point in the past several months.

No one had any idea how it had happened.

Most of the team was trying to work out what could have possibly gone wrong by staring intently at code in their IDEs and debuggers while stepping through reproductions.

I thought, "everyone's already doing that - I'll try a bisect, since we have a reliable reproduction for this inscrutable weirdness."

It took maybe twenty minutes before I could point to a < twenty-line change.

The author of said change was flummoxed at the breakage, as it was nowhere near the actual checkout code, but a few minutes of the whole team staring at it revealed a classic piece of PHP spaghetti insanity that had managed to break the checkout process (I no longer recall the specific issue - might've been global variable name collision).

I think it would have taken hours before we got to an answer without bisect.

Granted, it only worked so well because of good commit hygiene (which I had trained everyone to use when I introduced git and code review to that team), but it showed quite clearly how useful good commit hygiene is when paired with bisect.
I think it can't be understated how important it is to able to rotate, and move the playback forwards and backwards.

It's almost like being able to hold the part in your hands, examine the reasoning behind its structure and "debug" your mental model of it by playing its operation back and forth.
That's why we need a land tax instead of a cap gains style tax that applies to transactions.
> A party planning committee is not targeting the rest of the company.

Sounds like a pretty lame party if they're not inviting the rest of the company.

Also, that you think discussing how to make a workplace more diverse, equitable, and inclusive is somehow "targeting" the other employees says a lot about your stance on those things.
Appreciated, and glad I was able to clarify things for you!
Agree. If only for:

> Hansson’s response to this employee [that apologized for participating in the list] took aback many of the workers I spoke with. He dug through old chat logs to find a time when the employee in question participated in a discussion about a customer with a funny-sounding name. Hansson posted the message — visible to the entire company — and dismissed the substance of the employee’s complaint.

(From The Verge article[1])

In summation an employee participated in the list and wanted BaseCamp to change its ways on diversity. DHH took to publicly bullying this person and shutting down discussion.

But why did China decided that Chia is the one to do, and why now. Why the sudden focus on this crypto?
Occasionally? More like unfailingly. I wonder if any journalist has ever written a story about worker condition in Foxconn factories without also mentioning Apple. It's like nobody in media cares about Chinese workers unless they're making Apple products. I suppose Foxconn workers who assemble Xboxes and PlayStations don't matter as much.

It isn’t. The tags have to be moving around and away from their owner. And if they really do go off and annoy someone. It’s trivial to twist the backs off and the coin cell battery pops out.
Doesn't answer my question.
It is used to point out the perpetuation and reification of race as a concept by people who call themselves antiracist. There are many liberal thinkers who have not given up on the notion that race is a fiction, and that the best way to be not racist is to understand this.

Race abolitionists like Kmele Foster (Fifth Column podcast) and Thomas Chatterton Williams (Self Portrait in Black and White), as well as scholars like Barbara Fields (Racecraft) point out that what people call antiracist depends on re-centering race in the discourse, which they see as promoting a race-based system of evaluation, which results in racist thinking (in the normal dictionary, pre-Foucaultized definition of the term).

Hence some people who agree with this line of thinking (though not the three I mentioned afaik) prefer to call “antiracism” neoracism because it’s a very different thing promoted by different sorts of people than what we traditionally call racism, but it still requires one to think in terms of race and to believe that race exists in a meaningful sense.

A lot of progressives seem to share this delusion and I find it puzzling. I have no idea who started this meme that there are “right talking points” going around about Portland. If such a thing exists, I have no idea what it is or where it comes from. Rest assured, my talking points are completely original and synthesized by my own senses. I’m in Portland quite frequently and was there earlier this month. I have many good friends there as well. I’d offer you some video footage that I took personally, but there is no shortage of it online. Ted Wheeler has even (finally) acknowledged it. The city is an embarrassment, and has gone to shit in the last 5 years.
Need to drop the final / from the URL
The most worrying thing about this in my opinion is that it's not surprising at all. The Philippine government and all its agencies has such an infamously bad record with infosec as well as how they build and run their sites in general. My uni days were riddled with having to deal with HTTP-only sites that used outdated frameworks and lousy account systems that practically begged to have all its passwords exposed. Back then I was filled with frustrated resolve to enter the field and work for the government so I could make some kind of difference, but as I got older I realized any work I could do would be a drop in the bucket, and for crap pay.

Even so, I am increasingly filled with concern because the pandemic has made my government clamor to "digitize more services" without a clear strategy on how to do it well. They took the quick and dirty route, resulting in ugly, insecure, UX nightmare sites that you can't even rely to work or even load half the time. And as this leak has shown, if they can't secure critical legal documents, then I don't trust them to digitize any more things.
If a vendor we were working with lost a third of their employees, I would question whether that vendor would be a good long term relationship, regardless of what caused the exodus.

Yes, but I think it's a relatively new or transient interpretation. I couldn't find much of an authoritative basis for it. It would be great if you could post any links that you know of.

Squashing PRs is mostly a good idea. However. When you fix a bug, you should nearly always:

1. Commit a failing test that reproduces the bug

2. Commit a fix

And I tend to feel that this sort of informative history should be preserved in the main branch, seeing as we have technology that is designed to do that.

Automobile service uses non-OEM parts and recycled (junkyard) parts.

I have a 1965 and 1966 Mustangs. Original body panels are difficult to find, but I’ve not found any mechanical part that was the least bit difficult (aided by high-volume production and a lot of parts crossover up through the early 90s Fox body Mustangs).
Yeah, totally. For some strange reason I'm envious of people who are mostly in the terminal, while at the same time that wouldn't at all suit my needs (I do graphic design, mapping, web and app development... and I just like using a mouse and clicking stuff!). And I haven't hopped around and tried anything new in a few years. I've lost my desire to break and fix things or try anything new, and now I just want something that works and that I'm used to (which for the last 4 years has been Arch + KDE Plasma).
All of those are what I had in mind. All of those incur capital gains tax, with the exception of perhaps some govt bonds (which have low yields).
The 1970s rang. They want their sound-panels back.

The use of sound-panels was quite common in the 1970s. (http://www.audioimprov.com/AudioImprov/Speakers/Entries/2012...)

They weren't as obtrusive as most of the large speaker systems (https://i.imgur.com/9tVVsY1.jpeg) of the day

On the other hand, they weren't as good, either. Which is very likely why they more or less disappeared from use.
I have tested them. If you nfc scan one not in lost mode, it opens a page explaining what airtags are and shows you it’s serial number. If you put it in lost mode, scanning shows the same page but with a phone number and a lost message.

Being in lost mode will also give the owner a notification when it is found.

The airtags are also account locked the whole time and must be manually removed by the owner before someone else can use them.

India has granted EUA to the vaccine and the local manufacturer expects that 130-150 million Indians will receive this vaccine during the current year.[1] That is more than the entire population of Russia.

> “Sputnik V has become a tool of soft power for Russia,” said Michal Baranowski, a fellow with a US thinktank, the German Marshall Fund of the United States. “It’s planted its flag on the vaccine and the political goal of its strategy is to divide the west.”

Divide the West, eh? It is not very different from what Western powers have been doing in Russia's backyard for decades.

All these politicians and political analysts whining about Russian soft power should keep their traditional Russophobic positions to the side for a moment and answer one simple question: does the vaccine work?

I agree with nearly all of the points you made, and I am a similar linear switch user. It is a sturdy, reliable input device. But even though I'm not a chef, I still cook for myself and I want sturdy, reliable tools there as well.

Take a look at the Embark jobs.

C++, C++, C++, C++, C++, C++, Rust (for security), (Go, JavaScript, Python and Rust).

The Rust stuff is all confined to the back end where security matters--no engine stuff.

Ready At Dawn got bought, so it would be interesting to know if that still holds as they are owned by Facebook who is Rust-positive.
I agree with you, but you have to realize that you’re describing a sociopolitical stance that is far from universal. See for example this comment elsewhere in the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27002001

Imagine that a coworker keeps misgendering you, and that commenter is your manager. Your workplace has a “no politics” rule. Who do you think will be told to stop being “political”?
Not by choice though. If we can get younger or older by choice on a whim, I think your point would stand.
LOL.

In your rush to defend the actions of asshole bosses, you miss an important part: people who are trying to make a living with part time jobs are going to get another part time job. Not only are those people NOT more flexible than full time employees, but half the time they are less available than full time workers because they are stuck on a treadmill where not being at both jobs equals a loss in hours for the next week. There are tons of full time hourly employees who will JUMP at overtime.
> Notarization is clearly part of a defense in depth strategy for macOS.

Defense in depth means layering security. It's, for example, when you use password hashing but also full disk encryption. That way if someone gets your hard drive, even if they break the disk encryption, they don't get your password in plaintext. Even if they know how to crack the password hash, they first have to get past the disk encryption.

Notarization and signatures aren't two separate measures. They're the same measure implemented two different ways. That's basically useless. If some piece of code is identified as malware then it both gets revoked and added to the malware list, and then they both catch it. If it hasn't been identified then it's neither revoked nor on the malware list.

The things that make it past one also make it past the other. There is no defense in depth because there is no depth. The two measures would have to operate based on a different principle in order to achieve that.

That’s a really excellent idea. On the off chance that you may be wrong in a few cases, what happens if you go out of business after raising your prices enough to get wages high enough to be where you think they should be?
It's a committee. Not their primary job focus. You seem to be willfully misunderstanding that.
Companies do definitely care about PR, however, and can easily get called out for associating with known bad actors.

"They mistook their relationship with their employees for a feudal one, they have now discovered it was not"

This kind overly dramatic rhetoric demonstrates the lack of perspective on the part of the antagonists which is possibly at the root of the problem.

There is no reason for leadership to risk the company and all of their time and investment over 'fake rhetorical wars over the meaning of words' which have very little substance on either side.

Of all the ways for a company to fail, having internal resurrections over nothing is at least something that can be avoided.

They company executives acted as though they were owners managers of the company - which they are - and gave their staff an option, which some of them took.

That's it.

" gentle disagreement with this graphic would have been completely fine "

It wasn't just a disagreement over a graphic, it was a group of people forming an alliance to shape the nature of the company in their social view.

That's going to require some restructuring.

Aside from the tone of the communications, the company did what any other company would do, and now they're more or less situated as most other companies.

A lot of people are here in for a rude awakening in life; questioning some actions the company is making and having them addressed is reasonable, but forming alliances, challenging the leadership is suicidal unless there's a high degree of legitimacy, which there isn't.

If the company refuses to stop dumping chemicals, then yes, you can form an alliance. If you're worried the company has a doc floating around with crude jokes - but they stopped it ... and you want to restructure the company in your social terms because you think there's something existential at foot ... you're going to be fired.

Even if the tone was off, the company acted within reason.

Storj recommends you have a server with at least 128GB of ram and a powerful GPU before joining the network. The problem is the whole system is zero trust so you must constantly be calculating proofs to show you have all of the data and that it is always available.

It’s much more efficient to just have one large data enter with a reputation and trust. They have to store all of the data to keep their reputation.

Reminds me of the Paperclip Maximizer thought experiment. An AI which destroys the universe by turning it into paperclips, as its goal is to make more paperclips.

First crypto took marginal GPU and energy capacity. Now it is taking SSDs.

It has so far produced nothing except higher values measured in fiat. And the higher the values go the more resources needed for the computer networks.

Of course crypto is not an AI so it can only get fed more resources if it converts believers to feed it more. More GPUs, more SSDs, more coal, to run calculations.

So this should be self limiting at some point. Or maybe I’m wrong and some practical use will come of it but it’s been 12 years without any so far.
