You're probably right about the default response. The gate agent somewhere like Southwest is more likely to get in trouble for giving away too much free stuff than too little.

I already check HN when a big web service is down. The time has come where we should check HN if our airline/train/public service is down too!
This is something that I had been venting about for years to anybody I met.

There's that (Coca-Cola I think) ad that ends up with teenagers watching the sunrise after a party night, they sit on a roof in what I remember could be suburban California.

The ad was in the style of All I need from Air.

These are very delicate and precious moments when you are a teenager.

But now it's Coca-cola telling people how to feel. For a whole lot of people now sitting on that roof, that communion moment with your friends, has been stolen by Coca-Cola. That's not something spontaneous and personal and intimate anymore, they stole that moment, branded it and spat it back on screens and minds. They are feeding on our souls.

It's more subtle and devilish than https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlpZRK2Yfd0 which just tells you how to have fun (just a manual to fabricated happy times: be young, muscled, on a beach with one of those air canons that makes you levitate) or association to songs. It's tied to a moment in space and time, to an experience.

and €70k as a Senior engineer which is also low in comparison, but the comparison is more complex if you give value to things like medical, pension savings, cost of life and housing, kids expenses like low to higher education and even non monetary things like WLB, job security or employee rights.

Also remember that US salaries varies a lot by location
Fortunately almost all drugs can be ordered online without prescription, at least those that are also in India. For larger amounts of money you could even order a custom synthesis in a Chinese lab.
Thinking this is so cool! I was wondering if seriously buying into an alternate shell like this would be worth it in the long run.

Would really love to read from people who use(d) an alternative shell, both success and failure stories.

I cannot shake from my head the idea that buying into a non-standard shell will only work for personal projects in one's own workstation, but it won't fly too far for company work because you'd then be introducing an implicit dependency on your special snowflake non-standard runtime. Which is something we came to accept and assume for interpreted languages (Python, Ruby, Node, etc.) but I'm not yet ready to assume for shell scripts.

So right when I was going to test Nushell, I discover there are also other shells like Elvish [0] and Oil which supports structured data [1]. Now on top of my hesitations I'm adding decision paralysis :-]

My comment was around experience of a reasonably heavy bike and braking down steep hills.

Like I said, its about technique, if you are getting up to 70kmh with bad brakes then you have bad technique.

The braking energy dissipated goes up square vs speed, so in that case you brake earlier and keep the speed down.

With that said, I have no doubt a large rotor with out heat soak can easily stop a 200kg bike from 70kmh to zero.
While this new method of carbon-free steel production is great, for the time being the hydrogen is going come from natural gas. Setting up large scale hydrogen production using renewables is the real challenge, and while some work is being done (it's the German plan for offshore wind and solar: autonomous hydrogen production that's piped onshore), none of these test facilities approach the size needed to run a steel mill, as far as I know. I'm sceptical they'll be setting it all up before 2026, but I wish them, and us all, the best of luck.
I had this surreal NDA experience once: a couple of startup guys was looking for engineer #1 for their new idea. They were total “idea people” and needed someone to build their idea. After going the idea with me and what they envisioned our roles will be, I realized I would be doing all the work of actually implementing it —- taking all the risks while neither one of them had any real skin in the game. They weren’t even going to pay me in money but just equity in a company that didn’t exist and had nothing. The worst part is their idea was dumb. Having no real skin in the game meant any dumb idea that comes along was worth trying to them. So I turned it down.

After the meeting, they sent a NDA over for me to sign. Not going to steal a bad idea but also don’t want to sign anything with only downsides and zero upsides for me. So I just didn’t even bother to reply. Freaking amateur hour.

Our goal isn't a no-code tool, but rather an editor that provides the tools for both developers and designers. We're iteratively improving the level of complexity of code that we can fully parse and expose to the rest of the editor, so you can expect these kinds of cases to become fewer and far between over time.

If you do have specific cases that you come across and are interested in following the development or just want to let us know of them, please do file an issue on our GitHub repo.
is the writing part really what we should focus on in scripting though?

i personally would've put much more weight into the ease of reading and understanding the code.

personally, i think that PS just came too late, so most people (me included) are too used to the way the unix shell works/feels. It would have to be just straight up better in all regards to displace it, but its more like a different flavor entirely.
It however a very interesting take on scripting, in my mind it was more comparable to python repl then bash though, but i haven't really used it much.
No, it’s like assigning variables. The second part overwrites the value of 1, but the first part is still using the old value.

I just enabled it to try how it changes the results. Many data points vanished, but suddenly the screen size doesn't show my actual screen size (1920x1080, not very unique) but the size of my viewport (very unique, considering I have a sidebar active). Can somebody confirm this? Why would this setting affect this?

It's wrong and has been for ages. It will claim things like I'm 1 in 500k even though I'm on a recent iPhone on the west coast of the the USA. Simple math will tell you it's just plain wrong. The only settings that leak on an iPhone are possibly the model, time zone, and language. There are at last 70 million people in that time zone. Right now it claims for me my iPhone is 1 in 240k so it's effectively claiming there are 291 iPhones of the same model in 70 million people. Yea, no, that's clearly wrong.

They don't care that it's wrong because the exaggerated numbers scare people into believing in their cause.

Yes I get that it's possible that I'm the only iPhone in 70 million people that checked their site in the last 45 days but that's still exaggerating their point. Only a site that has lots of traffic would need to fingerprint you. So reporting that a site that gets almost no traffic and tell a couple of iPhones visited per day in the last month isn't remotely representative of a popular site that actually is trying to track
If somebody tried to introduce the Unix shell syntax today, they would be laughed out of the room. Nobody would be able to take something so utterly nonsensical seriously.

The only reason anyone accepts it is that it has always been there. But if you actually look at it critically, it is hot garbage.
Over time the large menagerie of inter-European organizations got merged into the EU. For example Euratom is the only former EC body that hasn't been incorporated into the EU completely and even then it's mostly still controlled by EU institutions. All the former trading alliances were absorbed into the EU or are now moribund. And new such organisations aren't being set up - if countries want to work together on something, like vaccines, the EU immediately steps in and takes control.

The EU is controlled on a day to day basis by the President of the Commission. Yes, the Council theoretically selects the head of the Commission although because we have no idea how they do that, and because the outcome always seems to be some stitchup between France and Germany, it's very hard to say to what extent the Council really does control that process.

And as for the Parliament, please. It cannot actually change the law, which means it's not a Parliament at all. It just calls itself that. It can only rubber stamp whatever the Commission wants to do, which it always does because the only people who want to take part in a fake Parliament are groupies who think the EU shits rainbows. And even then, the Commission can and usually does just bypass it. None of the changes to "equivalence" I've talked about required the Parliament to do anything, to pick just one example. The Commission just announces it, and it's done. It's by far the world's most powerful executive and there are basically no working controls on its behaviour, even by Treaty, which is often ignored when convenient.
Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining.

The part that bothered me was not that they described something that shared some concepts with PowerShell as "a new kind", but that I did not see any illustration of entirely novel features in the examples that followed. As a sibling comment remarked, they feel I'm quite mistaken, and there are very positive distinctions illustrated in the examples, but I took a look at them again, and it's still not clear to me what they mean.

I think I don't see why it's unreasonable for something which advertises cross-platform support to be compared to common shells on all those platforms, not just originally-*ix ones? That is, I think it's totally reasonable for you to think the tagline is justified solely by the differences in those shells, even if I disagree, but I don't see why you think it's unreasonable for me to hold this view?
This isn't the way I'd sort ls output by date or whatever field. I'd use `ls -l --sort=date` which I guess is what the GP meant with having every tool do their own sorting by field.

In nushell one can just do `ls | sort-by size`
I'm confused about this. It looks like what you do is create a separate channel for every pull request, and then send notifications to that channel. Messages in the channel get batched up at the end and sent to the PR.

Then your first point is:

> No more context-switching

> Pull requests will create an ephemeral Slack Channel where all the work will be done and imported from Github. Stop wasting time jumping from Github to Slack.

But the video next to it shows... constant context-switching/jumping between Slack and GitHub.

For everything one has to say about a PR this introduces a choice between a GitHub comment and a Slack message, where comments on GitHub get mirrored to Slack but not (directly) vice-versa. Why not just keep the conversation on GitHub?

Do comments seem too "formal"? Are GitHub's notifications not targeted enough? Those seem like possible problems, but is splitting the conversation space really part of the solution?
What is the benefit of using a wooden pencil over a mechanical pencil? Does it also depend on whether you're doing engineering drawing vs art?

True, the likelyhood of such a transmission happening naturally should be considered, the locality could be just a coincidence.
Even Ian Fleming did a lot of product placement in his books. Though not sure if he was paid for it.
I didn’t mean that PS is the ideal shell, it has plenty of warts (I did mention the Verb-Noun thing), and bash’s syntax does have a good subset — namely piping, redirects to a certain degree. But variable substitution, not having proper math support, everything is text are terrible and they do come up with the arguably rare, more complex commands. Also, having a convention that has quite a few edge cases where it doesn’t work good may still be better than not having any. And the application not creating good cli is not shell-specific at all —- the linux world has it better because a good cli is prioritized. Even though git is often touted as having a terrible interface.

That's exactly our aim - if making a change via the canvas or inspector doesn't result in production grade code then the tool is failing in our eyes. We're well aware that there are parts where we're not hitting the mark there (effectively we're in an alpha stage here), but we're working hard to improve that.
That is just a good rationale for minimizing your ad exposure overall. Don't listen to ad-filled media, block ads and try to get away from it.

This is tangentially related, but Google has been blocking iOS native PiP mode on YouTube on iPhones on the website.

Here's a bookmarklet (you must create and edit an existing bookmark with the contents below, else you will get an error) that will pop out a YouTube video on iOS into a PiP video when run. Simply click on the Bookmarks while on the YouTube page and select it.

This allows you to play the videos in the background by swiping the PiP player off to the side.

Not OP, but: MMC = Microsoft Management Console, the collection of "snap in" GUI config tools for all the advanced features beyond Control Panel.

MMC can control remote computers, but I believe only one at a time? Unless it's something through Group Policy.

Now, the APIs exist to do all this remotely (DCOM), but good luck discovering what they are! And the minimum level of program you'd need to call them would be a C# project.

So, Microsoft knew that UNIX systems had an API that was interactive, scriptable, discoverable, and composable, all the things which CMD and MMC and DCOM aren't. So they decided to build one. And make it object-orientated. It's actually pretty good for the administration use-case, but for more general work it feels weird. And it doesn't interact with text files anywhere near as good as shell does.
This isn't (quite) true.

On a continent,-wide level it is, and US incomes are significantly higher. But US wealth levels are below most of Western Europe, including France, the UK, Ireland, even Italy and Spain. Plus Canada/Australia/New Zealand for good measure.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_...

That said, I thoroughly disagree with the characterisation of the US as "a third world country with a Gucci belt".
No, it's from left to right. It's basically just syntax for a series of dup2() calls.

"4>&1 1>/dev/null" means:

streams[1] = open("/dev/null");
Can we use this as a weapon?
I come to a conclusion that the main reason why some programmers argue against comments is just laziness. Writing comments requires an effort. Being smart they can find multiple reasons why their don't have to do this.

Of course it is possible to intentionally create a harmful comment, but if you trying to write a useful comment it is likely will be useful for most readers. In my career there was a lot of situations when a small comment would have saved me time - I've spend many minutes and even hours to discover something a code author knew but was too lazy to put into comments. I don't remember a single case when I suffered from an outdated/incorrect comment (though in this discussion such situations are mentioned).
I think the lesson learned is that the system is setup to encourage this kind of bandwagon investment. For example, all the people who are buying houses as a vehicle towards financial security: completely rational within the confines of the system we have. But causing huge problems, and therefore something that shouldn't be incentivised.
Perhaps better for privacy too, unlike the telemetry-riddled Firefox of today. LibreWolf sounds a hell of a lot better, though.
I don't think there's obligation to report all the facts. Otherwise you'd be obliged to publish eye color of the perpetrator or his blood type or every other irrelevant detail.

It obvious that reporting will omit some fact, and reporting body is the one what's worth publishing by assesing relevancy and social impact.

On an Android phone you can use firefox, ublock origin and youtube in the browser, too. It also supports playing in a floating window (fullscreen the video and then switch app from firefox to something else).
Argh, how did I miss this. The ^ is just for overriding built-ins with external executables. Apologies!

> Edit: I thought that a Google Pixel using Google SMS app with RCS and a Samsung galaxy using Samsung SMS app with RCS would be able to communicate over RCS. User 'hocuspocus claims this is, surprisingly, not the case: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27526166 User 'dcomp is able to do this with his wife though, so maybe YMMV?

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that there could be an additional factor: Whether the carrier is natively RCS-enabled or if the app is using a Google-hosted RCS system to get around the carrier.
Nothing works on Safari
Aha, what I was looking for was the "Library" popup, which allows drag-and-drop of new components onto the canvas. Now I understand; this latest iteration of Xcode has the code <-> canvas being bidirectional, so using the library or canvas inspector just edits your code anyway! Interesting. I'll have to run through some docs and tutorials to see if I can finally pick up macOS/iOS app development.
As a customer reading Air Canada’s response it pretty much ensures I’ll never fly them again and I used to visit yearly, usually on Air Canada flight, well I’ll take the extra layover in Seattle and visit friends for a bit instead.
I just hope that Rust with 40 years of backwards compatibility feels better than C++ today.
My problem with this is that it is "Google Messages end-to-end encryption", rather than "RCS end-to-end encryption". It's not a distinction without a difference because it ties me down to a single RCS client and discourages interoperability. The moment I send an RCS message over Google Messages to someone who is using a different RCS app, I'm assuming it will just send plaintext.

Having Google Messages preinstalled on all Android phones and set as the default is not a good solution either. Encryption has to be baked into the protocol, not individual clients.
No, you misunderstood. I meant that if you're going to document a block of command-line instructions, you should first make sure those commands work as-is in a clean system.

A very easy way to do this (for me anyways) is using a Docker container. I use this method to test all of my documented commands. But there are other ways, of course, like using a clean VM. Regardless, just test the commands without assuming the customized state of your own workstation!

The point is that if I follow the hypothetical instructions of running "cargo install something", the result will probably be "cargo: command not found". When you test this in a clean system and find this error message, this places on you the burden of depending on Cargo, so the least you should do is to make sure "cargo" will work for the user who is reading your docs. At a minimum, you should link to somewhere that explains how to install Cargo.

tldr: you should make sure your instructions work as-is from a clean installation of your intended distro(s), regardless of how you prefer to do so.
Sustainability clearly can be done so why isn't it?
I never appreciated Futurama when I was younger. At the time it felt like worse Simpsons but in the future. But later on I realized it’s a really good critique of our contemporary society disguised as the future looking back on us with Fry standing in for the audience. Some of the jokes are funny because they’re so biting.

I think we both agree with the principle of smaller batteries being very usable for many EV. Twizy is just a bit apples vs oranges. Ioniq, especially with the smaller/older 28 kWh battery is very impressive, considering its age and cost. Low consumption & quick charging (despite being air-cooled!).

Still, if you want to travel long distances as quickly as possible, bigger battery combined with a sleek car such as Model 3 gives you an advantage because you can hop from charger to charger using the lower end of your battery capacity with extremely fast charging speeds. Smaller battery needs to be charged to higher SOC to make it to next charger, which is typically slower (so called "taper").
