>I'm not even talking about how the electricity that goes in the cars is often far from clean, and how insane ecologically damaging it is to replace a perfectly working car with a new one. And what about the environmental impact of batteries... And so on.

You should! Except in regions where most electricity is generated from coal, it's far better to drive an EV than an ICE vehicle. And unless you drive the car on very rare occasions, it's also worth it to ditch the ICE for a new EV.

I suggest you watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjaUqUozwdc (with English translation, of course). The youtuber is French engineer who covers absolutely everything. The transcript is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KtiB4r-p35FeNb6jMv92HqR7..., which translate well to English with DeepL or Google Translate. All his sources are linked below the video, too (with peer-reviewed papers).

His previous video is on the issues that are specific with the battery themselves (sourcing, production, recycling, etc). It's a pretty deep dive, but there's so much to learn.
It depends. One, two, three or four wheels?
Why? It seems a fair description of source code for readers who would not be familiar with the term. (You could argue that many more people should be software literate given that software is taking over the world, but that's a different argument.)
I’m always a little amazed, in a good way, how willing people are willing to repeatedly educate others, if that’s what you mean.

If you mean everyone should have read articles about ag safety or experienced it through work or family connections, to the point they’re to be blamed if not, I don’t agree. I’m fortunate enough to have been thoroughly exposed to farming growing up, and it sounds like you were too. Sadly, most people don’t get to have that experience due to population distribution in most industrialized countries, and their formal education and learning for fun may have gone in different directions. Field trips, field internships, WWOOF, 4H, etc. help and it’s important to support those efforts. In the meantime, I find it completely normal that some people learn about silo safety when a silo safety article is posted.
> If I got many solar panels and backup batteries to power my house, I would still be required to pay $5 a month to the local electric company and would not be allowed to disconnect from them.

That may be true for water and gas, but is usually false for electricity.
Intel Reportedly Interested in Acquiring RISC-V Firm SiFive
That's not right, and it's one of the more confusing parts of the problem in my opinion.

I can make sense of it by drawing out the probability trees and see that it's 1/2 rather than 2/3 in this case, but it actually sticks with me if I think more like so:

My prior is that there's a 1/3 chance I picked the car; that's the world where the host can't reveal anything other than a goat.

In the scenario where the host then reveals a goat intentionally, my prior doesn't change. The host can always reveal a goat. This gives me no information. Therefore, it's still 1/3 that I picked the car, so the remaining door must be 2/3, so I switch and get a 2/3 chance.

But in the scenario where the host reveals a door at random, and it happens to be a goat, it's time to update my priors. Since he didn't accidentally reveal the prize, the probability that I'm in the world where he couldn't accidentally reveal the prize is increased relative to the probability that I'm in the world where he could have.

More than any of his previous shows I can't think about anything else since I've seen Inside. Sometimes you will laugh, but this is not comedy. It is so much more than that.

The review is flawed, as it is clearly written by someone who has only watched it once. The first viewing is just the beginning, your introduction to an immensely layered masterpiece. For example, "White women's Instagram" is not just about signaling stereotypical phenomena in the subjects media output. In the bridge the song flips, to show how pure beauty and honesty can also exist among the flood of cliché snaps.

It scares me how dead serious this man I admire so much considers the end of the world a given, and something not that far off at all. Maybe this is part of why he has already inspired so many creative people: if we truly are living in borrowed time, what's the point of wasting it on less meaningful things?
> Even fewer would understand what decimal numbers are or why they exist.

Heck, even I (40+ yo, software professional for ~16 years) only recently realised the importance of the decimal "dot" notation and its relation to the positional number system while I was teaching my son.

And then the importance of "zero" dawned on me. All these years I never appreciated what was all the fuss about the number zero.
No, actually, it is the opposite. For legal compliance, the company tells you when it is safe for you to trade, assuming that you do not have any insider information that would affect the stock price during the allowed periods, without getting into legal trouble.

My company does this and it is a relief for legal compliance reasons.

>Occasionally there will be a complex problem with a simple solution.

Whenever this has happened in my experience, it's come with the monkey's-paw irony that while the solution is simple, the reason why it's a solution, or at least a complete solution, is not. That almost makes it worse - people who aren't intimately familiar with the problem will see the simple solution, think the problem must have been similarly easy to understand, and then think that there must be something wrong with the solution.

Exactly what I said. No serious trial (or any trial).

What they describe is an observational study where they compare the same make or model with different levels of safety equipment.

The obvious confounding is that they're comparing people who care enough about safety that they are willing to pay for additional safety features, compared with people that are not willing to pay.

There's a reason we have double blind randomized controlled trials in medicine. The alternatives just don't work.
> [offshore corporation] I have no idea how to do this, particularly without being able to leave Argentina. Also I don't think it's really a practical solution for the vast majority of people in either Argentina or El Salvador

It’s fairly easy, but agree, it is not a practical solution for most people.

But then, most people do not get their income from abroad, so bitcoin isn’t practical either, for example you yourself exchange the bitcoins for cash, to use them locally (rather than use bitcoins to pay for your ice cream).

There is a market for “cash for bitcoin” (I think) because Argentina has capital controls, i.e. people making money in Argentina, that they want to get out of the country, and can’t go through the regulated system, are willing to buy your bitcoins, possible below market rate.

So bitcoin primarily solves the problem of getting money out of a country with capital controls, but most people living in a country with capital controls do not regularly face this problem.

You can say that for you, it solves the problem of getting money into the country, but there are plenty of alternatives, sure, some may have downsides, but bitcoin is not without downsides.

For spending money day-to-day, bitcoin does not solve that problem, the bitcoins have to be exchanged to cash first, as no-one wants to pay a 4 dollar fee to buy an ice cream, or have to wait up to an hour for reasonable assurance that the transaction is final.

> Any time you handle money, whether from a bank or anywhere else, you are accepting dirty money

While this may be true, I was alluding to specific anti-money laundering laws. For example, in the U.S. you have to report cash payments of $10,000 or above. So your ice cream shop, accepting a few dollars in cash, do not have to report this, and would not be liable if it turns out that these money were from selling drugs or what have you.

But if a car dealership accepts $25,000 in cash for a car, and they do not report it, then they are complicit in laundering money (to the best of my knowledge).

I don’t know if such laws exist in Argentina, but they exist in the U.S. and Europa, and I believe they would also apply to accepting cash for bitcoin (although the U.S. reporting threshold is quite high, in Denmark the reporting threshold was around $500, last I checked).

> I'm hesitant about getting cash from strangers for a different reason, which is what I thought you were going to say: they might shoot me or rob my house and take the cash back

My concern was twofold, the regulatory issue, as mentioned, but certainly also, that the people showing up to give you money for bitcoin may indeed be “gagsters”, but I was afraid that this would come off as prejudiced, as I don’t know Argentina, so I shouldn’t make assumptions, but I do know another developing country fairly well, where there is drug trafficking with foreigners involved, and capital controls makes it hard for them to take their profit out of the country, so they have turned to bitcoin, and I really would not want to get involved with these people (i.e. show up and accept their dirty cash for bitcoins).
> I appreciate them acknowledging this fact. It bothers me how many people think that leaking the source code of a game engine is an actual problem for the company.

If it makes the creation of exploits (cheats) easier, then I think it could a big headache for a game company. I’d at least find it a lot easier to try to exploit a game a have the full source code for, than one I have to reverse engineer.

Cheating was so rampant in earlier titles that if it had been just slightly worse I’d probably have stopped playing.

Obscurity is weak security though of course.
I am not sure. I never found much value in companies internal confluence pages. Mostly outdated and poorly organized.

Long README for project setup is code smell. Things should "just work" with obvious commands. Best code documentation is automated tests.

I think the most important documentation should be your issue tracker. User stories should have clear AC, all work should be captured in tickets and organized in Epics/tags.
My big problem with agile is that the total amount of work done for a particular feature is not captured very well. This makes it hard to make strategic decisions. You might have multiple teams re-inventing the same wheel or facing similar problems.

There is some value in it, you can become the guy people call in when their needs go beyond the standard framework. In the right situation this sort of work can pay handsomely.
I don't think you have thought this through. Nothing he wrote is different because of some historical bias. It could have been his only comment or posted from a throwaway account and HN users would still be just fine at understanding it (look at the down votes). If we go through a users history and use it against people the only thing it does is push people to use more throwaway accounts.

If there's a need to go through comment history to give or take credibility then HN is broken. Almost no one has the time to do so and to trust a user that do take the time just moves the point of trust one step. Each comment needs to stand on its own for HN to function. Any measures should be by the system, not the users.
In earlier releases they bumped the version of frostbite to “frostbite 2” etc, but now I don’t see these big announcements so maybe it’s more a slow evolution now and not huge releases? There are certainly new engine features vs previous releases, but I haven’t seen if they call it a new “version”.

Admittedly, I don't have the .com for my last name because.. you guessed it - scalpers, but at least it's a ccTLD. A friend of mine has his email on .ninja and he had to register a couple gmail addresses for the most common mistakes people made because some straight up wouldn't believe him it was an actual address and insisted they were helping him because he didn't know what he was doing and sent things to gmail.

> I hear this argument a lot but maybe that's just me but I don't forget much. I don't have perfect memory, far from it, but remembering my thought process when faced with my old code, even decades old is not really a problem for me

That might be true for you. But I have met too many people that say this about themselves, but then I see them "understanding" their old code (i.e. looking around and not having a clue). In their cases, its just self-deception.

Its the same people that say they don't need comments, but then they look around their own files with confused faces.

But yeah there are definitely also people with good memory. Those are also the people that happen to, for example, put more thought in structuring their code.

> Boring, repetitive tasks are for the computer, not the developer.

What about just applying that reason only when people want something from you.

Most people don't want anything from you. Some people like just chatting. Salesmen will feel smothering and uncomfortable because they want something from you. Advertisements trigger me because it's so obvious (in my mind) they want something from you. News feels this way too.

How can I tell? The same cues that fool people who focus on the surface-level: flashiness, bravado, loudness, taking the subject matter to things I do not care about. Trying to make me feel emotions (fomo, FUD, even excitement).

You could use it as dating advice: people are turned off when you want something from them too much.

I disagree with this. If you have a test that doesn't actually test anything, you can't tell that you're not really testing that branch. No test is better than a bad test because it's easier to fix.

> the scale function effect of 0.001 defeated me for years. how can it be 1/1000th, when 1000 has THREE ZEROS

I remember getting tripped up on that all the time. Still do sometimes, having to slow down and "remember" that fewer 0s are needed on the left vs. the right (1000 <-> .001)

I wonder if—back when this notation was "invented"—the decimal or some other mark had been placed above or below the ones place, if this would be easier.

So it would be something like 1000̲ and 0̲001. Now both have the 3 zeros, and it's not optional whether to include the first 0 in the fractional case.

The inverse of 8̲ is 0̲125, the inverse of 50̲ is 0̲02, and half of 5̲ is 2̲5.

The ones place is the only position that doesn't have an inverse position. Tens is tenths, hundreds is hundreths, but one is unity. It's the "pivot point".
The solution is don't measure test coverage. Measure something you actually care about, like minutes of downtime.

Yes we have, though the terms for vendors that are linked from the main terms page on the FastSpring website don't seem to be the correct ones for vendors in the UK so our current assessment is only provisional.

It happens all the time on YT Music. While you can often find the same song uploaded as a video by somebody, the possibility of it happening means you can't trust your playlist. Slightly related, right now I have a song that consistently plays but brings back a 404 if I click "go to album" -- this is a song whose official YT video has 7M views, so it's surprising the metadata isn't working but does say something about YT Music data quality.
