I think avoiding a parser by using JSON is kind of neat, but it really isn't that difficult to write a parser for a small expression language and you get the benefit that you can expose a much nicer syntax to end users with the same parser - rather than having an standard AST and need a parser anyway to have decent UX.

I work on and off on a very simple syntax language for things like templates, but would be well suited towards business rules and such too. It was the first parser I wrote outside of school and pretty easy to understand, small and fast too: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jexpr

My wife has a masters in reading and language arts in early childhood education. Which means shes also a LOT better at reading to the kids than me.

What i never realized was that a LOT of these books, Eric Carles are in that camp, are using words chosen to teach kids basic language skills and sentence formation. The ones that dont really employ a lot of those learning mechanisms, seem to be the ones that we grow tired of quickly and hit the back of the stack.. Im sure Nostalgia is part of it too.

Dr. Suess is similar and very heavy on sounds/aliteration. But you would be surprised to know that many of his books actually use very few words. Like Green Eggs and Ham is like 50 pages of sentence after sentence but only uses like 50 words total or something like that (i could be wrong, its one of the most famous ones that like that).

Honestly when I read to my young kids, i would get tired of the same books over and over and would just kinda make up the story. Now that my kids are learning to actually read, I dont do that anymore.
About 4 years ago I picked up an old tube radio I found at an antique mall that caught my eye. The radio was a 1947 AM/FM set. Before finding it, I had no idea that FM radio was even around in 1947, but it was. It was a relatively new technology at the time, so this would have probably been a high-end set when it was introduced.

Buying that radio led me down the path of learning how to restore old tube radios, and I eventually got it all fixed up and working - it's currently sitting on a bookshelf behind me.

It's very strange to hear modern music coming through it what with it's old art-deco styling. Sometimes I think about who the original owner must have been and what they probably listened to on it. Old jazz and rock and roll songs maybe? News updates on the Korean War? Who knows. But it's interesting to think about...
I guess an ATX power supply accepting 240W USB-C, which is 12V, would only do a tiny bit of DC-to-DC conversion for 5V and 3.3V, passing through the rest as 12V.

And an ATX12VO power supply taking in USB-C would do… nothing?

Heh.

More people need to see your comment because there seems to be a belief that full self driving is just around the corner. However, IMO, it will never happen because it needs a full artificial general intelligence.

In your case, the new lane was clearly marked, which just shows how weak the system really is. Imagine if there was snow covering the lane markings. Or sunlight reflecting off of the road confuses the vision.

People bought the self-driving hype because the first 80% was easy. They forgot that the next 20%, as usual, would be incredibly hard, if not impossible.

Personally, I will never be okay riding in a car that is on autopilot. Heck, I'm not even okay with the amount of automation in airplane cockpits. [1] [2]

Just implement carbon taxes based on the cost of removing CO2 from the atmosphere (probably $200-$500/tonne).

This is going to mean about a 5-10% cost of living increase for the typical Westerner - affordable, and beneficial because it will also mean much less air pollution.

It would also mean that the 2nd/3rd world would build up with renewable energy and electric transport from the ground up, instead of with fossil fuel infrastructure which will be difficult to replace.
Obviously bitcoin wouldn't be used for this kind of operation. Again, we're at proof of concept stage. The reason Blockchain would be preferred over traditional finance for proving transactions is because traditional finance would have difficultly integrating disparate systems and potential for histories to be manipulated. If everything is on-chain and verifiable then it makes this process a lot easier.

> but make uBlock Origin part of the browser, and bring it under their wing

I totally agree with this. At this point uBlock Origin's technology is so important and essential it should be a standard feature of every browser. I've posted this many times before. People usually say that uBlock Origin is better off independent because Mozilla is funded by Google.
I think beaching the boats at night and having large rowing crews makes it less likely that they could have circumnavigated Africa. You'd double the amount of time it would take, 6x the amount of food and water needed, and infinitely increase the chance of a hostile encounter.

Not saying it couldn't be done, but the logistics boggle the mind.
I really hope the radar is still going to be active if you have the hardware. If they don't, I'd expect lawyers to be involved sooner rather than later.

I know they revamped the production of Model 3's just after Q1. In late March, the wait times were 2-12 weeks. However, this was a big overestimate. If you had an order in then, you could have gotten in within 3-4 weeks (late April/early May). But this production change was for a change in the interior trim. It looks like the radar change is different. Given the fact that they already had a production change at the end of Q1, I highly suspect that dropping radar was a supply chain issue. This was probably planned for a while, but the supply issues may have forced the timeline.

I'll be very curious to know they will support the two systems going forward. Hopefully the radar-less system is just as accurate, but I'd be happier if there were multiple systems to make these decisions.

I just got myself a pair of custom earplugs from https://1of1custom.com/ which are absolutely amazing.

I ride a motorcycle and needed something to make sure I don't lose my hearing from the wind noise/exhaust noise (it's stock, but still 85 dB when the throttle is open).

They are also great for concerts and live music events where the speakers are generally cranked up to 90 - 95 dB.

I got the 27 dB version, and it allows me to hear what people are saying above the the music but really cuts out the painful parts.

They are not cheap, but I already have tinnitus, so I want to make sure it doesn't get worse.

man, I implemented a rules engine library where i expressed, the rules as S-Expressions (basically a lisp) that mapped to ruby lambdas. that way when finance would come back and be like, "what was the logic and the rules at a given point of time, I could point to what the rule was, what was it configuration, and who changed the configuration or the rule."
and the rule execution strategy.
It works, I'm proud of it, the lisp layer is completely abstracted away from the developers and the users who configur ed the rule.

I thought I was so clever :) Apparently, engineers have a habit of doing this.
Well, it really does say something about our hopes of doing something about it if we can't even get them to learn to multiply a number by 2 and add 30 (see, I'm being generous and rounding the numbers). Hell, let's make it even simpler. Just say "IN FAHRENHEIT IT'S MORE, WAY MORE."

Maybe if we call them "dollar degrees" and "euro degrees" we'll get their attention.

But seriously now, yes, I do think it would be a pretty good idea for Americans to learn the metric system and not just because of the issue at hand, and it shouldn't be that hard. Isn't it intuitive enough to remember "0 is for freezing and 100 is for boiling water"?
The radar chip shortage is pure speculation, no official word from Tesla on it. Seems to fit though as we know some M3 and MY were waiting on a part to ship. It's likely that Tesla was close to removing radar anyway and decided to accelerate the switch to pure vision.

Funny you mention this. Most screen readers actually have that as a feature, and it's called screen curtain. As many things in this field, it was pioneered by Apple, but it's available almost everywhere these days.

This opens up really interesting opportunities, think cheating at school for example.

Previously, other tricks have been used to achieve the same effect, including not having a display plugged in at al, Configuring Windows to use a second display while none was actually plugged in, or using a fake HDMI dongle.

We had had a brush with AWS, it’s Lambdas, Step Functions, etc, as well as Zapier and Stamplay’s flow on our first project together.

We both came out of it convinced that there had to be a way to make it much easier yet still as powerful to orchestrate logic & services…

The goal was to make something we could use to drastically simplify the development of all our future endeavours, thinking we might also be able to sell it to others.

How is the latter not just a byproduct of the former?

And the circle of life continues! I have seen exactly this method in 2004-2006 but with XML.

If you are reading this, and you think it is a good idea, please don't follow it as it is not.

Back in 2006-2009 I worked at MobiTV, which we had the same exact way/method of programing our mobile apps, on J2ME/feature phones. The made up language was called CEF which was based on XML. While the idea is sound in paper, This turns really fast into an ugly, debug everywhere type of scenario, where it is hard to both develop and debug properly.

The only way this is ok, is when you have some fully automated UI tool, that stores some kind of state, and retrieves it back, but with no human intervention and some very very limited logic. Otherwise you are in a world of pain. If you try to include real application logic into something like this it is going to hurt your business long term.

It will turn your business logic like some Maven configuration, full of gotchas and more.
There is also a similar program called InfoQube, which is the work of a single individual: https://www.infoqube.biz/

Obviously `stg push` and `git push` are different commands, but to your point, yes, they have very different meanings and the overlap is somewhat unfortunate.

StGit uses push/pop in the sense of pushing and popping patches to/from the patch stack. An alternative such as apply/unapply would be valid and could be aliased, but this ship sailed 16 years ago (StGit has been around almost as long as Git) and so is unlikely to change.
Thanks for this, it is very insightful. We have considered part of them. Glad to hear you signed up to the waitlist:)
What's meta disturbing about autopilot is the argument that it could save X lives a year, by cutting the road toll from Y down to Z.

For that statement to be a validation for legalising autopilot for open usage, the bar for Z needs to be a lot lower than Y. It needs to be zero or else we would be blessing fatal bugs.
I'm amazed at how toxic the comments are and how many are mentioning people are going to be killed.

Makes sense that they did this with the chip shortages. I don't doubt that they can rely entirely on cameras and be way safer than most drivers on the road.

As far as I'm concerned, that $10k is basically an interest free loan to Tesla. FSD as promised by Elon is going to take decades, and the worst part is that it's not even transferable from one car to another.

First, I don't agree that licensure accomplishes this.

But second, it sounds like you agree with the plaintiff here. Nobody is asserting that he had a legal right to perform civil engineering after his license lapsed. What he's arguing is that he had a right to reference his experience in civil engineering as part of his political advocacy.

240W USB-C will be 48 V (the current limit is 5A as it is in the current up-to-100W spec, just the voltage max goes from 20 V to 48 V)
I am not saying that you are wrong. Not at all.

However, something I’ve come to learn is that some ideas I thought were bad were actually not bad. They were poorly executed and the exact reasoning why they did not work well in a given application was not well-understood.

So I can see an argument for “this was horrible back when it was done in the early 2000s” simultaneously with “this could actually still be a good idea for some use cases.”
> So you believe she was asked to do it by her publisher?

Yes, almost certainly. It seems like a smart way to get the author and her book in front of more eyes, and it seems to have worked, since we're talking about it here!

> However, IMO, it will never happen because it needs a full artificial general intelligence.

I don’t think that’s true - but it certainly needs more than a couple of poor resolution cameras and some underpowered hardware powered by hype. You can see how poor the vision of these systems is by just watching a few Tesla autopilot videos and seeing cars flash into/out of recognition on the screen.

The first actual self driving car won’t be the one that does it with bargain basement hardware prioritising low cost over efficacy and safety.
The whole indirect signalling of cars is very interesting.

In my country (North/Eastern Europe) you pay more (€500-€2000) for a license plate that has certain combinations of numbers such as 123 or 747. I've noticed that pretty much every Porsche has a plate like that. It's kind of silly, because people who have no clue that exists won't care at all. You can also go full on custom plates, the funniest I saw recently was someone who had H0DL... on a Toyota RAV4 :D I guess the plate cost 20% the price of the car.

I used to live in a Middle Eastern country where the plates were simply Latin numbers, combinations didn't matter, but if you wanted a shorter plate you had to pay more. If you had a 1 or 2 character plate (which is at least $500k) supposedly girls would just leave their phone numbers on your car, regardless of what car you had.
If other major browsers are cutting off critical functionality for it, the concern may be moot.

As long as Mozilla aren't themselves in ad sales/brokerage I wouldn't be worried about a browser shipping an ad-blocker, as far as incentives go. Google doing it, that'd be concerning. Mozilla? Good.

[EDIT] though actually this is another case of their relationship with Google being kinda crippling, since that does introduce a conflict of interest... which is part of why Google does it, I'm sure.
> However, IMO, it will never happen because it needs a full artificial general intelligence.

I think it will happen but only by making many expensive, intrusive changes to our cities and roads to accommodate "self-driving" cars.
Ask HN: Why Not Microservices?
It’s pretty clear that microservices have fallen out of favor on HN. As someone who’s currently experiencing pain on both sides pro and con here, I’m curious to learn more about the argument. Is there more to it than “you’re not Google, don’t act like Google” for small startups? How about companies that are scale?
Not to be a dick but why would you even enable it in the first place? I assume most people here are somewhat embedded in the tech world and you have probably seen or experienced bugs in software before. It seems a little crazy to me to turn on "beta" software and let it hurl me around the world at 70mph.
To be fair, I do find it infuriating when the news is basically outraged that someone did something offensive in the media, and then keep displaying shots and samples of it so you know what they're talking about.

I remember a talk show host on Fox News going on and on about Janet Jackson's alleged wardrobe malfunction at the superbowl this way. I actually missed the incident during the superbowl, but boy did the people who were most outraged about it make sure it was shoved in my face.
