> You counter that with a discussion-ending argument about how much money Apple makes.

The implication is that Apple's design decision favors far more users than it doesn't.

In other words, the same design decisions that cost Apple one HNer nets them general consumers - so Apple can definitely survive without the HNer's business.
Everything get's recycled, all old phones get stripped to the smallest components possible and resold to repair shops.
Yes, but a primary marketing metric for these vehicles is range. So you if you sold me a vehicle with range X, but it turns out the range is 0.9X, then it's quite right for the buyer to expect some sort of "make good" and the producer to expect the government to force one upon them.

It gets even trickier if it can be shown that the producer was aware that such reductions in range would be quite likely to occur in the near future. When likely transitions to certainty, then it's fraud.
> Why do all electric cars also need software updates

Because charging and managing modern EV batteries for optimal range and lifetime is complicated? That's my understanding anyway. If this was easy to do without all the software, why would the manufacturers spend money on it?
Well. I think I was a bit inaccurate. When I said javascript-ey what I meant is also familiar. Something like Squirrel and Wren do a good job.

The ones you mentioned, as far as I investigated, were not dead-easy to integrate into C++, one of the top requirements.

Take into account that I have to expose my own types, not just ints and basic types.

The original API was coded in a natural C++ way. APIs that wrap well in that sense could be Sol2 for Lua, Chaiscript, Wrenbind... which integrate with custom types and smart pointers.

With other scripting languages and their libraries you need additional work
I had this morbid curiosity about Bacon's work and life a long while ago and I happened to find a YouTube documentary[0] about him. Pretty interesting and sad at the same time. It's worth a watch, IMO.

I actually disagree with the "It never does any good, and it makes boring reading." I've seen plenty of cases where the interesting discussion was in response to a "why the downvotes?" question. It seems like it's a fairly safe bet that at least sometimes the interesting discussion was actually sparked by the "why the downvotes?" comment, and, without it, people might not have been motivated to actually articulate their thoughts.

I think the complaint that people are often trying to raise is that, while downvotes for comments that are actually hostile seem like a reasonable mechanism for keeping up the quality of conversation, the semi-official sanctioning of using the downvote button to register your displeasure with an opinion you don't agree with, without having to actually share your own opinion, encourages at least some thoughtful discussion to be replaced with knee-jerk reactions. Some folks who've been on HN since early on see it as the driver of a sort of "endless summer" effect, and are perhaps nostalgic for a time when the social conventions around this button were a bit different, and served to foster more civil, thoughtful discussion.
There is an element about convenience here that comes out when we talk about charging (rather than longevity of battery).

People are used to ICE cars where you can fill up rather quickly. Fuel pumps put out fuel at different speeds. It's not the same flow rate everywhere and people have no problem with it. Even big tanks on non-commercial vehicles are filled up in minutes.

Refueling an ICE tank is quick and convenient. Electric has not hit that point and comparisons are going to happen. Even if not explicitly.
I am not familiar with pearls, but a mechanical sorting mechanism could damage them I think. Also, how is a mechanical sorting mechanism or an electronic counter simpler, cheaper or faster than a photo?
I mean, there is nothing stopping you from using your phone in that way even if it was open like your computer is…
Great idea but they seem to just reimplement the same old ANN with photonics, instead of rethinking the concept of “learning” via reinforcement (or delta rule, gradient descent etc.) which is why it wastes so much energy in the first place.

That’s not how learning of objects and places work in energy- and time-constrained living organisms.

AI will not come from engineering lab but from science lab (neuroscience in particular).
Pure speculation here, but I imagine that Apple is probably working on a unified OS between IOS and MacOS. The pieces are there between Catalyst and now the new ARM macs. MacOS is pretty outdated from a UX perspective, but I reckon there is something in the pipeline. This is likely to continue to push the walled-garden approach where folks go to the app-store for downloads, but even my MIL had the same confusion with not being able to find certain software on the Windows store. Hopefully Apple keeps things open for power users, giving us the ability to install things from outside the app store. I don't think I would ever choose Windows as my first choice for doing development even with WSL (although Windows has become much more developer friendly within the last few years). At the end of the day, I don't care to spend much time configuring any machine I use to do work and would prefer stability over customization.
Thanks: I'm now changing my interview process. If the company doesn't "get it", if they don't understand why _having fun programming_ doesn't make me a better programmer, it's time to leave.

Just to be clear, the Renault Twizy is not a car by any traditional definition.

If I have to describe it, it would be closer to a 4 wheeled electric-scooter.
One more suggestion that would, IMO, be fairly simple. Tell the user to write in their subject line a {accessKey: 'someKey'}. The access key is given to them at the time of creation and can be regenerated as often, or rarely, as the user prefers. If they want update it weekly to provide an extra layer of security they can, or they could keep it the same forever with it just bein a handy backup in case they do link the random email. Just a thought.
My sister interpreted that as drag it onto the application icon that was in her task bar, so she kept trying to drag it onto the App Store icon because it looked kind of similar.
To elaborate, my views of OK and AR were a sort of common Texas view that it's a backwoods and backwards place. Just sort of run down and no reason to go there. Obviously I am wrong.

This certainly isn't about politics as, well, there pretty much isn't a more conservative place than where I come from. It didn't occur to me that someone would inject left/right politics into my comment, but I guess that's just the way things are now.
I've been using Macs since 1986 (Mac Plus). I've been through all the various OS iterations.

Each has had pluses and minuses (often -significant pluses and minuses).

I write code for Apple devices. Native Swift code, so that means that I need to use a native IDE (Xcode or AppCode), on MacOS. If they are able to port Xcode to iPadOS (might be awhile), then I might consider iPads.

Windows 10 is fine. I'm just not familiar with it. My "muscle memory" is MacOS, so it's painful and frustrating for me to switch to Windows.

I generally recommend to folks that they stay with whatever operating system they have "muscle memory" on. The hardware for all of them usually includes high-quality, performative choices (naturally, for a significant cost).

Just my $0.02. I'm not a zealot. I don't get a commission from Apple if people use their products; especially with this crowd, who are just as likely to be CLI jockeys, as GUI users.
There's a pretty detailed breakdown available on some of the issues with packs from the affected models and years: https://skie.net/skynet/projects/tesla/view_post/23_Explaini...

Basically there are issues with the BMS that could cause an issue at higher states of charge. They shipped firmware to limit the charge until they could sort out the cause and potentially fix it with software. And it sounds like that part is resolved in many cases.

It looks like the charging issues are different, and he didn't go into those. Anecdotally, I've been hearing a lot of reports of that getting fixed too, though.
They expect that because it is sold to them this way. Just as FSD is being sold and people are actually expecting their cars to drive themselves without intervention.

It's not supposed to be insulting. I think the notation is more than offputting, and describing it as a barrier to entry is appropriate.

Like many kinds of formal notation it almost requires a class in a university to have it explained. The same is true of other fields dense in notation where you need to learn the conventions as much as the basics.
Non-ascii alphabets need a lot more support than just accepting them. But I wouldn't really consider plus signs exotic anyway.

I was just explaining to my children that there was a time when the USA government employed censors (an actual job title) to control television content.

Much that the USA was or did 50-70 years ago was decidedly not democratic and not their proudest moment.
A few years ago I was in front of a Mac for the first time in twenty years trying to browse the web. I couldn't figure out how to scroll the window. There were no scrollbars and no mouse wheel. I had to get someone to show me.

Once I was shown, it felt to me like I was supposed to pretend that the mouse has a scroll wheel and stroke the mouse where the scroll wheel would be. I didn't find it intuitive at all.
It's precisely this 'at any of those instances' and 'path' of causations that aren't sitting comfortably with me; primarily the first, but when it interacts with the latter and things are related by physics and derivatives w.r.t. time say, it's not any of more a causal factor than any other input?

If all we mean by 'x causes y' is that 'y is a function of (perhaps among other things) x', then.. fine?
I don't really care between macOS or various *nix, but I really despise using Windows. The last time I seriously used Windows (granted, probably about seven years ago), I was astonished that the OS still required (or at least strongly urged) me to reboot after I installed anything. Small little shoddy UI quirks on Windows kept me frustrated, e.g. not being able to find anything in the control panel, or especially that a window must have focus for me to scroll (on macOS, scrolling affects whatever is under the mouse cursor regardless of focus). They were all small but added up to a horribly frustrating user experience. When I started seeing ads pop up in my start menu, I decided my Windows days were over and I wiped that machine in favor of Linux Mint.
It shouldn't be hard to swallow. Monospaced ascii text that is (usually) unambiguous with extensive documentation is night and day from formal notation.

At least BNF grammars are legible
But I’m not given any compensation from Chevy. The range reduction is small, within the warranty (like with Tesla). I wish I had the ability to fix it via software updates instead of having to bring it to a dealer.

Tesla has actually INCREASED both range and charge speed via software updates, as well.

And there’s no reason to suspect Tesla or Chevy knew for a fact they’d need to do this. People throw “fraud” around way too easily. Usually, when people do that, it makes me think they’re likely perma-skeptics.

If the network is totally gone, it's indeed more tricky. But if it still exists, and if there's no indication that the main network and chain was ever disrupted between then and now, you can be pretty confident the data is accurate if you join the network.

If no one uses it anymore or if it's so little-used that it's schismed into tons of other chains over the years, I think you can still probably obtain the original data you're looking for, but it'll take more effort to verify its authenticity.

Especially if the data you're looking for occurred at a time when the network was healthy and intact (like 2020), all you need to do in 2040 is find a block number and corresponding root hash that existed in 2020. I think these'll likely be possible to find even if the network's dead, and you can compare them against several different sources to increase confidence that they're not fake. Then as you scour the internet and download different published blockchain copies, you can truncate it back to that block number and compare the hash.

It's possible your search will be futile and you'll be unable to find a trustworthy record of block numbers and root hashes or that you'll be unable to find a verified 2020 blockchain, but I think your odds will be pretty good if the internet hasn't collapsed. Either way, as Vitalik pointed out, the odds are way higher you'll be able to find that compared to some data you entered into some SaaS in 2020.

I'm wondering if there is more happening in-memory, even if the project files and modules themselves are on-disk (accessed via FileSystemAPI) the vscode/node/other bits including temporary files may be held in RAM once initially loaded and never swapped out.

If that is the reason, then if your machine becomes memory constrained, the performance will drop through the floor quicker than with full-local installs.

It could be a mix of this and your suggestion (lower network latency related bottlenecks than experienced with non-local deployment).

Many introductory texts, such as Types and Programming Languages explain the notation thoroughly and start really simple, even starting from the inference rule notation, then talking about reduction of untyped arithmetic expressions, building up to the standard notation type theory.

You're right, it does not structurally need to be centralized and there are small trusted networks that are volunteer-moderated. They are a minority of what people actually spend time on when they use social networks these days though. The strong economies of scale involved in content policing (eg, investment in ML porn classifiers, moderation guidelines enforcement, dealing with the legal questions associated with kicking-out of a political person calling for this or that violent act) make it economically advantageous for centralized networks to pursue a scale-up strategy.
For companies, it's all about optics.
It’s useful for security if you’re running arbitrary JavaScript you’ve downloaded from the internet. Its utility in sandboxing old games is (mostly) dubious.
So true, this is a bizarre choice that tells the user that renaming a folder is more important and more frequent than navigating. It makes keyboard navigating in the Finder pretty annoying (unless you only live in column view, which feels very claustrophobic to me). IMO the Finder has a bunch of bad UX, it’s like they never figured out what to do with it during the OSX transition, and then refused to improve it or do anything to it to change old behavior or take it closer to what any other OSes had done.
Hey, so as i mentioned i dont write nearly as much content as id hope. So say for example if the pricing was more like 1-5 $ / post for first n posts in the month and then less $ for more than n posts in the month. etc that way, for people who are like me and publish less content, it is still feasible to subscribe rather than paying flat 8$/mo regardless of if i publish or not. For people who publish way more often, it can still make sense since the overall costs will be similar.

Only slight downside i can see is that it deters the person to publish content since it costs to do so, but i think if you are driven enough to publish anyway, a minor fee is not something you'd mind, esp if you are choosing this over some of the free platforms.

As someone who recently switched to MacOs (not by their own choice) there are hundreds of little annoying, broken or inconsistent OS things I find.

One of my favorites just happened yesterday with finder - I was trying to figure out how to rename a file, well the usual fx keys aren't doing it so the common process was to go to the toolbar context menu where hotkey is indicated next to the action's text. Rename for some reason had no hotkey indication! [1] so naturally I'm thinking it's somehow not bounded, google around for hotkey editing etc just to findout it's the least obvious key: return.

My main machine is a Mac, but being a developer I also have occasion to run Linux and Windows. I like Mac the best, but it has its warts. Linux and Windows likewise have their bright spots.

I have something close to this with my 2015 Nissan Leaf S. No internet connectivity at all. It's also extremely cheap. I paid ~$13k for it in 2018 with ~25k miles. The range is kind of bad compared to most other electric cars though.
