I just have to get in on this one.

I have this old aftermarket $30 brand new at the time crappy little stereo. No optical drive, the thing doesn't even have an AM receiver. But it does take SD cards, USB drives and AUX. Perfect. That's exactly all an aftermarket system should do, maybe Bluetooth, but I don't use Bluetooth so I don't care. I can fit ~60 albums on one 8gb SD card. Goodbye buffering in the boonies, goodbye book of CDs.

There's no way to navigate directories besides just skipping to the next one. Fine. I've seen some that let you open a menu and navigate using the volume knob, but no SD cards. I tried very hard to find one that has an SD slot and more advanced directory navigation. The two are apparently mutually exclusive. So instead of getting to decide what to listen to, my unit mostly functions as a commercial free music only radio station with a wide, diverse selection of exactly things I like. I can deal with that.

It doesn't load the directories or files in any particular order, like it builds an index by randomly loading directories as they're read and then the files inside. At least it doesn't mix up files between directories. I can deal with albums being out of order I guess. But why it doesn't just load them in alphabetical order is beyond me.

Nothing but MP3 support. I even wrote a bash script to turn FLAC files into MP3 files just for the car, and it can even split FLAC by CUE file. Works just fine for me.

The thing has a predetermined EQ animation. It does not actually correspond to the output, its just an animation. Why? Who knows. But it does.

All in all I've been using the same unit for 5 years across 2 different vehicles. I like it I guess. The window smashers seem to know it isn't worth anything, which is great. If I could navigate better, it loaded directories and files alphabetically, and had an AM receiver, it would be the last aftermarket system I buy for the rest of my life.
> how come so if those "everyone" got vaccinated?

Well, for starters, the vaccine isn't available for anyone under the age of 12.
Sounds like a status update from Fukushima.
I was wondering about exactly the same thing, had to use Safari for work recently and not seeing the URL was extremely confusing.
It is unclear to me (having just re-read Linus's post) where you see the claim that an mRNA cannot do harm. He says it cannot be incorporated into the genome, which is true of the Covid vaccine RNAs but not necessarily true in general (one could inject the RNA of a retrovirus). But the Covid19 vaccine mRNA simply makes the spike protein and (I'm sure they checked) does not get incorporated into the genome.
> The kernel has been backwards-compatible to user-land from the start

Maybe at the source level ... at the binary driver level there is no stability at all, and it's a huge reason why the driver scene for linux still languishes in so many areas.

Now there are reasons linux has chosen this model but it nonetheless demonstrates this is not a "free" decision without any consequences.
He was shocked. He checked the contract again and didn't see any sign of the car being connected to Apple. He was sure it was running Android. He tapped on the link on the screen to open the Apple Store. Something didn't look right: the copy was a bit off and the url was www.appleshop.com. That's when he knew his car had been infected by ransomware.
The hardware is heat-resistant, so probably around ~75C (167F).
I have a hypothesis (which might be false) that chemicals in a natural food developed through evolution to work together nicely when a fruit/vegetable is consumed raw.

In last 100 years we started adding lot of chemicals to our food without knowing what long term effects they produce. Thats why fortified bread is not same as whole wheat bread.

Maybe in future we will make the ideal food in a lab or our gut will get adapted to process highly processed food.
>uncommonly done things, like adding new Bluetooth connections and adjusting radio settings

Adding new Bluetooth connections is something I do more than one would think, because my car doesn't seem to allow Android Auto via a USB cable alone, and periodically it gets into a bad state somehow. The only solution I've found is to forget the pairing and start over. This has happened to me on multiple cars, two Hondas and a BMW, so I'm not sure whether it's universal or not. If for instance, GM cars didn't have this issue, I'd seriously consider one.

Obviously this is a software problem and not a touchscreen issue per se, but I associate it with the touchscreen and the generally poor standards of car tech these days.

Adjusting radio settings is something that I do quite a bit if I am going on a trip, because any given FM station fades out in a fairly short time. I could stream music from my phone, but I have a limited plan due to spending most of my time using wifi these days.

My car does have a reasonably clever and low mental bandwidth way of using the radio, though. There is a "scan" (touchscreen) button and then it changes through the stations reasonably slowly with a "stop" button in the lower left.

I don't understand your third point - it's supposed to be a mitigating factor? It seems like a good reason to "hate on touchscreens" to me, though.

Touchscreens and software bloat are not really central to what I dislike about modern car tech. It's the fact that the user experience has converged on personal computers, where things tend to stop working without any meaningful diagnostic or error and I end up spending 15 minutes resetting and disconnecting/reconnecting things to make it work when I really just want to get home before my food gets cold, etc.

As long as any given computer system is simple enough that the engineers understood it, it seems fine to me in theory.
> Apple juice is actually a clear example of the problem. Industrially produced fruit juices aren't at all like fresh-squeezed juice; the production process eliminates the actual juice flavor, requiring it to be manually added back just before bottling. If you see a juice bottle that lists "flavors" as an ingredient, that's what happened. You can find a bunch of articles on this (e.g. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/orange-juice-moms-secret-ingre...), although they tend to discuss orange juice as the example.

My impression is that they don't actually need to list "flavors" or anything special on the label when they do this, because they are just adding additional orange juice back, and it is highly unlikely that the result is nutritionally any different from fresh-squeezed juice.

The other argument for distinguishing ultra-processed foods is that even if the additives that wouldn't be found in normal processed foods aren't nutritionally significant in themselves, the resulting food is more palatable, so people consume more of it, but I don't think most people would say that bottled orange juice is more palatable than fresh-squeezed orange juice.

Anyway, it is theoretically possible that bottled "ultra-processed" orange juice is somehow less healthy than normal "processed" fresh-squeezed orange juice, but the point the parent comment was trying to make was that juice may be in itself unhealthy because the amount you consume is so much more than you would consume from eating fruit directly, and I was just trying to clarify that although true, this argument about juice in general is somewhat separate from the distinction between processed and ultraprocessed foods because fresh juice has that issue and can already be considered processed.
I imagine most people here used Chrome before people started switching to Firefox once Google's large presence became more of a concern.
"Healthcare" as what any other first world country has. Everything is covered, sometimes you wait for non life threating issues or you can pay and do things privately. Cosmetic stuff is not covered and some things may not be covered once you are a certain age and there is lack of research proving it may work.

We fund police, fire, infrastructure as a society, we can fund healthcare as a society as it is generally cheaper than whatever the fuck we are doing here in the US.
Always wondered when this, removing the path after the domain, would be put in. It's visually simpler and would probably improve the metrics recording perceived sleekness of user experience.

But removing the path would be a burden to those discovering how the web really works.

Solving a problem by writing a verbose loop lets you think along the surface of the problem. The APL way almost requires thinking harder before writing any code, and visualizing the transformations of arrays geometrically. The APL coder often works in a hammock with a pencil and paper, spending much of the time staring out the window. The conventional programmer spends most of the time tapping away. Many people resist this deeper mode of thought, because it hurts, or they’re not used to it. I think that is the root reason that array languages did not become more popular. The reason that Lisp did not become mainstream is similar. It’s not the parentheses, nor the weird characters. It’s the focus that effective use of these languages requires. Of course they are more powerful—far more powerful. But only as extensions to a thought process that normal people do not enjoy or can not exploit.

The technology itself has been around for decades, so it’s not new tech, nor is it an early version. The underlying tech barriers have been worked at for years, and that’s one of the reasons the vaccines were developed so quickly for SARS-CoV-2: very few parts of the an mRNA vaccine need to change to target a specific virus.

It does seem clairvoyance would negate the need for insurance, but that prompts another question: why do you think a clairvoyant person or machine is possible in any way?

Also, if an insurance company had perfect knowledge of future claims by being clairvoyant, they could charge a suitable risk premium to write policies where they wouldn’t lose any money, since they would also know how many policies they would be writing.
Oh well, was worth a shot.
I don't need a wealth tax. I don't need the government to create and exact one. So, no, "We" don't need a wealth tax. It doesn't seem like an elegant solution. I do think the ultra-rich can pay slightly more taxes but IMO this is not the way to go about it; instead, close loopholes etc.

The "Kent variant" (later "English", now "Alpha") was first described in Sept 2020, widely publicised as having become the dominant strain in the UK in late Nov 2020.

So a geographic label was widely used before Biden without apparently causing ructions. It was adopted because the released name for the variant, lineage B.1.1.7, was less convenient or distinctively memorable for the public. If it had been repeatedly referred to as the "Kentish virus" by senior politicians then a similarly hostile reaction might have been seen as was for "Chinese virus".
There are some models that provide the confidence that they have in the area of data being explored. I forget the name, but I think it's Bayesian Deep Learning. Something like: if it's something they've never seen, they would know they can't take a choice with confidence.

In addition to the comments about premium connectivity, I don't see how the acceleration unlock is anything but a positive. Car companies have been charging for options for forever, except before you had to make the choice at purchase time. Now the upgrade can happen whenever.

> * median ping was 2.4% higher on the bridged pi

Pings are best compared in absolute terms as the latency of the Pi would be additive, not multiplicative.

I looked at your results and the Pi appears to add 0.6ms, which is indeed very negligible!

Thanks for sharing detailed results

Startups would never beat large organizations if good management was common. The only reason startups can compete is that management is totally awful at larger organizations preventing any real value from being delivered. Of course many managers are less bad, but most are still bad.

This is actually quite disconcerting, in the backdrop of questions surrounding SARS-CoV-2.
> It had a bit more time to develop

And it wasn't planned, but evolved. No plan, no developer. Hard to imagine.

> the genetic material of a human is just a single gigabyte

Indeed apples and oranges [*]. As long as we don't know all functions of this molecular machinery (and there is a very good chance we will never know all those functions) all comparisons with programming languages are pure speculations. Some "subsystems" seem to be representable by "programming languages" (as long as one ignores many unknowns and special cases). But the complexity not only happens on molecular level.

> comes from the massive parallelism of the code execution

A very daring comparison.

[*] EDIT: mind that the genetic material e.g. assumes all the laws of physics and chemistry (also those we do not yet know) which are not explicitly encoded.
I still don't like how rude Linus is. I'll never like how rude Linus is.

But his explanation of mRNA is nicely done. Hope somebody reading it learns something and realizes they've been lied to. Maybe even gets vaccinated. That'd be worth a mean email or two.
Changing your beliefs on the words of your "betters", under pressure, umpteen times is not conducive to trust.

Perhaps if our masters in government had heeded the story of "the boy who cried wolf", then things might have been different.
GitHub in particular is widely used by managers -- not the higher-level managers of course, but a lot of engineering managers have mastered the usage of GitHub issues, Markdown task lists inside PR descriptions, and reviewing results of CI/CD pipelines.

And many tech leads simply don't have the time to review every single WIP commit. They want meaningful message/description of the big squashed PR commit. If you just post a merged list of all commit messages with 10x "fix stuff" inside you'll be in big trouble the next time around and your work will be inspected very closely.

The practices I am describing to you are reality in many tech companies. Writing code there is not about you at all. And almost nobody will read your code and PR descriptions unless they really have to. Hence it's a professional courtesy to make those as small and meaningful as possible.

>Although your belief is a common one even at the highest levels, reality is that Art. 1, §8, cl. 2 is not actually as broad a power as is believed and/or imagined.

Ultimately, reality is whatever people alive now determine it to be. The intentions of the original authors of the Constitution are interesting, sure, but only "real" in the sense that they guide the actual decision makers of today.
Pure speculation, but maybe because most of the commentary on this was coming from developers.

I don't have an iPhone anymore but used to, and it was no problem that I only saw the domain, because on my phone I rarely cared about the specific address. When I'm working it's a bitch because quickly knowing the full address is useful all the time, and even at home much the same because I'm used to interacting heavily with my address bar.

I'd imagine that most people, even on their laptops, are closer to the former situation, so it's not hard for it to have relatively widespread support.
This officer should never work as a cop again.

Lady literally did what you are supposed to do. She had the life of the cop in mind, as she did not create a dangerous situation for him and herself by stopping on the side on that tiny shoulder.

I do this also, I have friends who are cops and this extremely common. I used to be an idiot with a sports car/bike and every time I got pulled over, I slowed down/flashed hazards and made my way to a side street or a parking lot.

This wasn't some high speed chase, the car was not reported stolen.......the lady will sue and the tax payers will cover the bill because this idiot was eager to try a pit maneuver.

You certainly can, but just because the word "management" appears in there, it is wholly different from the "management" that the original post is talking about. But yeah, you can call both management. You can also call a software developer a manager of the codebase I suppose.

That's not a cute legal hack. Not retaining any information that is not useful and has the potential to be incriminating, unless legally required to, is what every smart company or government agency does. You find the relevant laws, then you write a retention policy.

Corporate profits are after wages. They could have the same profit before wages - but if the share was distributed more evenly, overall profit would be lower, and the worker would be better off.

It's not like this would've affected companies at all. R&D is at an all time low compared to profits. It's not like they couldn't afford to invest in R&D to keep an advantage if workers were getting paid more.

Seeing as inequality is higher than during the Bell Epoch in France - and any other time in recorded history, this doesn't seem preposterous.

The problem is that it takes 10 years to learn how to write software well. And after 10 years you no longer write software, you become a manager of people who are just beginning that process.
