Older Nissan Leaf. Great deal and never going back to gas. Gas cars feel "steampunk" now, and this older wimpy EV out-accelerates higher-end ICE cars easily.
Even worse: Try being at unit with brit/canadian/american exchange officers. Same spelling, different pronunciations depending on who you are talking about. And they really do care.

Can you explain this in more detail?
that would be a fine thing to say. Seems like everything is fine.
>There is no way the average well educated American understands what the European or Scandinavian model is.

I would agree. It's similar to the lack of deep knowledge of public health systems in other countries, which are typically understood as slogans.

There's also the unwritten parts of a 'Scandinavian Model' (or whoever). These are monocultures with their own logic and behavior.

When my father (who had a Midlands-ish English accent) met my father-in-law (strong NC Appalachian accent), they could not at first understand each other. It was pretty funny.
So true. I commented earlier on another thread about enterprises being intent on very specific implementations and premature optimisation, which leads to very bespoke and therefore expensive software.

We have a customer who "needs" to see their branches "scores" on the main dashboard regardless of the fact they could get that data somewhere else. We had to build a feature to win this customer that is only used by them and now have to maintain it forever.

The small ongoing cost of maintenance never appears to be enough to say that we're not going to support it anymore and instead concentrating on the wider market and telling this customer to click another button!
>. Or, if you're in Los Angeles and white, ride the bus from Santa Monica to DTLA on any given weekend and just listen to people talk: that's English just as sure as mine is, but I get maybe half.

Eh.

It's nothing more than repetition for the most part, along with certain parts of speech being implied. If your trying to overhear someone else's conversation you'll miss key points of context.

Having been to London , and South Central LA , I can't imagine any scenario where people from these places couldn't communicate with each other. A few words are definitely going to be different.
> It's utterly wild how there are people in the comments saying "maybe slave labor is actually good for the slaves."

> I don't even necessarily disagree with that possibility - sure, work provides meaning in life, it's better than sitting in a cage.

If it's better, then why don't they let the people decide for themselves whether they want to work for free? My guess is that they wouldn't get many takers. Also, exploiting people by giving them a choice between slave labor an worse options doesn't count.

Fundamentally, who are some HN commenters to decide for others what's 'good' for them? The 'maybe slavery is a good idea' stance is one I've seen around Internet forums, a trendy pseudo-intellectual provocation that is transparently absurd. Those who are serious are encouraged to volunteer first for slavery and show us how good it is, or for something much less onerous - free hard labor. It strikes me that people value their freedom and self-determination, not to mention their energy and time, and nobody is a slave voluntarily.

I think I might be able to do this.

Prior to recent times there was a Freenode head of staff that was elected named Christel. Powers seem to have been delegated from her as she had control of the legal entity.

In 2013 Freenode was sold to PIA for undisclosed sums and terms. Supposedly this was to launch a conference called Freenode Live (why Freenode wanted a conference is beyond me.) It was stipulated that Freenode staff would be able to maintain strategic control of the network. At some point Mr Lee of PIA requested that the domains be transferred back under his control and some ads for shells.com popped up on the Freenode website. Between there and now is a mystery.

Freenode isn't really just FOSS, believe it or not. It's a lot of hobbyists, tinkerers, etc... The vast majority of users you meet on there aren't data scientists or software engineers. The culture is this very independent, almost Libertarian-esque ideals. My take is that Mr Lee came in and reminded them the buck stops with him and no longer honored Freenodes more democratic culture of voting.

It's worth explaining that Freenode got in this state because the original owner died and his brother tried to monetize the network. There's precedent in the idea that people (staff and users) do not want a for-profit network. It's viewed as a conflict of interest and a consolidation of power where power is "meant" to be distributed and already quite scarce. These users will often avoid Slack and object to open communities being run on proprietary for-profit platforms. The reason people don't get it, in my view, is a difference in cultural values that are fairly unique to certain areas of FOSS and Freenode, LiberaChat, and OFTC.

Basically you had an official system of authority enforced by legal means and one implicit system of authority which users were familiar with that ran the day to day operations of the network. Those came to a head, and the network operators put the problem on the users because they didn't know how to deal with it.
There are some training plans out there to get you from "couch to pullup". The trick, essentially, is to start from the top and lower yourself down as slowly as you can. After a while, you start to use resistance bands to reduce the weight you need to lift, and then you start doing assisted pullups. Over time, you drop the resistance until you can do a pullup! It does take some time (~6 week for me to my first good-form pullup).

I'm insanely jealous of the American Ninja Warriors who can do 30 pullups at once. I just don't see how that's possible. But maybe someday I'll get there...

Part of Microsoft's "punishment" for monopoly practices was to give away free copies of Office to schools. With that, every parent has to have a copy of Office to read .doc files from their school. Ingenious! They use their punishment to increase their market share.

I don't think breaking up companies should be the emphasis, but rather the merging of companies. AT&T was already broken up once. Now look at them.

> It's not as if you can set up competing parallel networks running trains side by side between identical destinations at varying levels of speed and comfort.

Yes, you could. There is an East Coast Mainline and West Coast Mainline and they competed loads over the London-Edinburgh route.

But I think in this age of high-speed trains, overhead electrification and 4+ wide tracks, railways are well and truly a natural monopoly.

But natural monopoly is not about can't have competition, it's about being thoroughly uneconomical to have competition.
Vaccinated travelers from e.g. the US might be able to fly into certain EU airports, but they might not always be able to go further within Schengen. Norway and Finland have signaled that they won't open to even vaccinated EU citizens for leisure travel until late summer, and more countries might decide to maintain border closures in contravention of Schengen.
Then there reaches a point where extracting the data and moving it to some other system becomes such an implacable task that it is cheaper to just keep paying the renewal POs.

This story was big news when it happened and I'm grateful to Andy Greenberg for writing this retrospective. Pretty much nothing has changed about security at companies in the last ten years that would foil this kind of attack. I mean maybe folks are a little smarter about catching spearfishing Office docs, and Flash exploits are now a thing of the past, but those are replaced by contemporary equivalents. And I'm sure conveniences like the not-quite-airgapped crucial equipment still persist. We truly have no idea how to secure systems on the Internet.

As for RSA, it came out a couple years later their products were compromised various ways by the NSA. Then a couple years later the NSA lost control of its own hacking tools with the infamous Shadow Brokers release. Not only is building secure systems hard, but the US government actively works to undermine its own companies' security.

I heat one cup of water at a time in a small stove pan. It's quicker for one cup than drip. It tastes a bit like espresso, but not quite as strong. Similar to cold brew in that it doesn't taste "acid-y" (like from when you heat the coffee pot to long), and is pretty smooth.
I have the quest 2 and the only app I bought for it is virtual desktop, so I can wirelessly stream VR games from my PC. All other purchases are in steam and would not be lost if I lose my fb account.
That said, fb is evil, but the quest is ahead of other headsets far enough that I can ignore it.

I too consider it one of the better purchases. Being able to travel in vr using Google earth, vr videos or own panorama pictures in these times is amazing.

I think ETH2 has around $13.5b currently staked, while ADA has around $43b currently staked (1). ETH2 is nothing to scoff at, but ADA is miles ahead on adoption of PoS. ADA also doesn't have any minimum requirement to run a pool, which is pretty neat. From a price perspective, ADA has outperformed ETH all year as well (2). ETH does have a massive first mover advantage, which can't be understated. If they pull off Eth2 migration successfully and in a timely manner (before Cardano smart contracts) I imagine all those metrics will tighten significantly and/or flip

My Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon gravel bike I'd say - I only purchased it at the start of the year, after riding a MTB for a considerable amount of time.

It’s interesting when a phrase has slightly different meanings between cultures. For instance, I have seen several Indians use “too many” to mean “a lot”, Americans use “too many” to mean a lot sometimes but there is a negative connotation for Americans where “too many” means “a lot and there should be less.”

Usually this difference is small enough that it doesn’t matter but there are cases like an Indian saying, “there are too many Mexicans in this neighborhood” and meaning “This neighborhood has a lot of Mexicans” in a neutral sense, but an American hearing that might interpret it as “The number of Mexicans in this neighborhood is a bad thing”

Yeah, I really struggle with the concept of "native" as well. I grew up in the US but the first language I spoke was Tamil. When I went to a nursery, I couldn't communicate with any of the other kids. My parents then spoke to me almost exclusively in English. As a result I can only speak/read/write English but can still understand Tamil at an elementary level.

I used to think I spoke perfect American English until someone pointed out that I say the th sound weirdly (I think it's called dental th-stopping [0]). I also spent some time in England as a child and now say some words like "rather" with the English pronunciation. I'm living in England again now as an adult and am picking up some English colloquialisms, though usually pronounced in an American accent.

I also unintentionally end up speaking in an Indian accent when I talk to speakers of Indian English, but can't put on (even intentionally) an English accent to save my life even though I had one when I lived in England as a child.

Freenode has been the go-to name for IRC (in FOSS circles) for two decades plus. There's also OFTC which I don't know the whole story of, and there are some projects making their home on Efnet and elsewhere too, but the majority of everything has been on Freenode. To the point that I don't even /list anymore, I just blindly /join #name_of_project and almost always land somewhere useful.

This kills that. Some projects won't stay on Freenode and will move to Libera. Some projects won't stay on Freenode and will move to OFTC. Some projects will stay on Freenode.

It fragments an ecosystem that was useful primarily because it was so universal, and the value of that universality is not conserved through fragmentation.

I wish I understood the complaint better, so I could make a better argument for projects to move, and hopefully restore some of that universality elsewhere. But as it is, I simply can't make sense of the complaints without a lot of backstory I don't apparently have. For all the volunteers to walk out, there must be something there, I just don't grok it.
I quite like were macOS is on this topic philosophically with XProtect and Gatekeeper. I don't think Craig is being necessarily fair to macOS in his framing, as they've gone much further than Windows has and Linux realistically can, but I get that he's trying to win the debate in the eyes of the court.

It's a great (if not perfect) way to provide some protection over software from outside the App Store, but he's right in suggesting that it just wouldn't scale to the sheer amount of mobile software people would install on iOS because a shady ad banner told them to.

(Basing this on Linux being free and as a result not coming with a monitoring team for notarisation of software in the wild).
I think there is a bit of snobbery about those that "use Salesforce" vs the underclasses who don't.

Of course, once you start using it and wire in all of the integations to everything else in your company, it would be so difficult to transfer to another product so it is as sticky as **. Starts getting a lot more expensive too!
I have always wondered why reporting was always so complicated and broken in every company I worked with. By reporting I mean "I spent two days on this project, five on that one and took a day off, I also had to drive 50 km to the the customer's site so that's an expense.". Then I realized a lot was happening behind the scene, some of them being legal requirements with hefty fines if not done right. And all companies are different.

And even though we have all these tools, I am impressed by how much tedious manual work is still done. For example, our poor assistant manager has to check that every expense is tied to the correct project, and the tools does nothing to help her (or us for that matter).
Can confirm, it's great. The 12 volt is pretty great too.

I'm curious how the UI looks to other people, because "all in once place" isn't really a complaint I can understand about the Twitter UI I'm seeing. There's buttons and stuff between tweets, but with 280 characters per tweet (140 was definitely less readable) they're not significantly more difficult to read on Twitter than they are in the paragraphs you posted.
I work in the Wireless and Digital Systems department of Cambridge Consultants (Cambridge, UK). We build weird and wonderful radio systems for clients. We are using an increasing amount of Elixir and Erlang because it's a great fit for what we do, but it's still in the minority.
I would be surprised if nobody had tried to make a mini-curl that could go in busybox. The idea of having a tiny version of the program which handles the 90% cases by itself but can call out to the real-deal bigger brother when necessary is a nice one. This sort-of happens already with lots of common tools which are shadowed by shell builtins, why not curl?

You are the equivalent of a race car driver in the car analogy he made though. You are not the teenager just learning to drive. His statement that IOS is safe for a child to use is largely correct. macOS can not make the same claim. He isn't throwing it under the bus so much as identifying that they are different platforms with different use cases and arguing that just because macOS doesn't have the same restrictions is an apples and orange comparison.
Something tells me Mr. Carmack himself wouldn't approve of such engineering practices, no?

>Needless to say, if Intel had played this trick it would have been pinned to the top of the front page here for the last week.

Bit of a premature conjecture. It was on the first page when the hashes were uncovered some time ago.

I'm not trying to excuse problematic behaviour but when comparing apples to oranges one has to mention that AMD has an enormous, and complex, product stack and in total has one tenth the revenue of intel (most of which is earned by their CPU division) and Intel's graphics division mostly consists of homogenous integrated graphics solutions. Their graphics division was also a separate entity with their own team that struggled to make a profit and has been plagued with graphics driver issues for as long as I can remember.

Overall, their drivers have improved and I think things like this will reach their software engineering department. with all side channel attacks that have been uncovered the AMD CPU division has been hammering out security features and promoting their better security to cloud providers, so I think their attention will definitely be focused on not making graphics drivers their achilles heel.

After the first week or so I ended up ignoring the bluetooth, and liked cooking so much more without trying to connect to the thing. I got the newer version with Wifi which connects well every time, but I don't care about the connection at all, and so don't bother.

As for cooking, I absolutely love it. Even for things I can cook fine in a pan, I much prefer the low-stress of making a steak in the bath and then taking it out and finishing it in the pan whenever I'm ready.

On lazy/busy days, we'll fire up the sous vide a little after lunch time, and throw in something frozen, knowing that all we have to do for dinner is figure out a side.
