I should have clarified that new Telsas should use CCS and existing Tesla owners would "eventually" need to use an adapter. That's the weening I was talking about. Start adding CSS to all the Superchargers. Once a significant build out is completely start selling new Teslas with CSS and an adapter for any older Superchargers that don't get retrofitted. 2-5yrs later new chargers can only have CCS.

The burden of the adapter being put on the larger market is just not going to happen. If Tesla wants to stay relevant as more automakers enter the EV market they need to adapt.
Or the other collector could have waited until after the first's death, and then taken up the cart cackling with glee at his good fortune.

>Meanwhile, I have thousands of used books and I have no idea what to do with them. Old programming books -- what to do with those? Are they worth anything to anyone now?

Mot really. Maybe some old programming, guide books, etc. are vaguely interesting for someone to flip through if they're old enough but, for the most part, no. And anyone you donate them to will just throw them out. No one wants my 1970s Encyclopedia Brittanica out in the garage either.

As an individual who doesn't want to maybe earn minimum wage or less selling them, the only real answer is donate your books in general. Understand that those that don't get sold at the library book sale or whatever will probably end up in recycling.
I was thinking of an apartment building garage in that statement, but all of my reasoning goes the same for an apartment building parking lot.
First you had applications and the file menu. Then you had folders and the file explorer with context menu for new.

But now you don't really care about file and folder structure since you have your documents in the cloud or use search on desktop, so the folders don't make sense either.

So you really mostly create new documents from some portal like thing, like google drive or sharepoint front page.
When you say “we”, do you mean web users or developers? As a user, I'm sure happier that I don't have to deal with needy plugin installers (“what do you mean you don't want Bonzi Buddy?”).
Heroku is perfectly fine, and it's also squarely targeted at the small end of deployment. Why fret about $20/month vs $30/month when you have bigger issues to worry about?

Also, to their credit, they have kept the free tier still going, more or less. I'd have expected Salesforce to have killed that.
I think the counter-intuitive "hindsight-is-20/20" fact is that a higher level, more abstract API provides more wiggle room for GPU vendors to implement optimizations for their specific GPU architecture. "Abstract API" doesn't mean it has to be mess like what OpenGL became after 1.x, but one problem is that many people think that Vulkan was the only possible alternative future to OpenGL, while ignoring APIs like D3D11 and Metal which would have been a better starting point for an OpenGL successor.
They also acquired Quixel Megascans, which you can use in their Unreal Engine. It seems this is part of a strategy to move up the chain to game assets.

Thanks for that.

I'm hugely impressed by Rick's long term commitment and navigation of the political lanscape and like that he's more interested in how can we make the world a better place given the constraints we have approach makes him worth a lot more than the early wave noise makers like Leary and McKenna both of who kind of fostered the environment he grew in/threw.

The fact he foresaw things and acted on them accordingly at a relatively young age is amazing.

I think ultimately he'll have a larger lasting impact on the world than either of them, (but is also enabled by them) but possibly be less remembered?

It also just highlights the problems with the capitalist approach to individual and global health. I think capitalism is just coming to terms with its problems as a result of profit motive rather than value or health motive.

If you play out the scenarios: Do you want to live in a world where a few rich people have happy lives because the masses have unhappy lives (focus on profit over outcome)
OR
do you want to live in a world where focus on outcome over profit results in happy lives, but the people in power making the decisions don't get particularly rich?

The best possibile lifestyle is in scenario 1, the best average lifestyle is in scenario 2.

Help, help, I feel like I'm in a prisoners dilemma experiment.
The term you are looking for is pointer stability. It can be a useful property, but you can also get it storing pointers in a vector. That would often be faster in practice than a linked list.
It's an array reference. If you replaced the [ ... ] with ( ... ) you'd have an array and use @. This is something I see people new to Perl struggle with, and I remember it taking me some time to grasp back in the day. It's pretty natural to me now, but I do feel it's something of a wart in the language.
I remind myself that I've worked with fantastic colleagues who don't run any side projects, and I definitely don't want to miss out on someone like that.
If you are genuinely interested in understanding this, I would be interested in helping you get there. I'm not an expert, but when I've spoken with people who are experts, they have told me that I'm getting things right.

> ”Thanks to EU regulations, all the superchargers in europe have both the tesla and CCS combo connectors at each stall.”

In fact, the newer “V3” Superchargers only have CCS connectors.
Seconded, yet my university chose it as the collaboration app for all employees.
It's the opposite, actually - it seems to be the Ministers and establishment pushing it. e.g:

> [Bundesdatenschutzbeauftragte Ulrich] Kelber verweist auf die Entwicklungen in Frankreich. Dort wird eine Whatsappalternative auf Basis des Open-Source-Team-Messengers Matrix und dessen Client Riot entwickelt. In Frankreich "geht man aktuell einen hervorragenden Weg, um sich aus der faktisch in weiten Bereichen der Verwaltung bestehenden Abhängigkeit von Produkten großer amerikanischer IT-Firmen zu lösen", sagte Kleber.

or in English:

A Whatsapp alternative based on the open source team messenger Matrix and its client Riot is being developed there. In France, "there is currently an excellent way to free oneself from the fact that many areas of administration are actually dependent on the products of large American IT companies," said Kleber.

I haven't read a new fiction-based novel in ages. Does anyone know if smartphone texting and usage encroaches the storyline like it does with modern tv shows?
Thanks for letting us know. Tried a different approach this AM and people are able to get on now. Hope it is the case for you as well.
Perhaps more fitting would be ab Werk, (out of the factory), but either put the focus on the wrong situation.

According to https://caniuse.com/sharedarraybuffer it's default disabled on Safari due to spectre/meltdown, but can be enabled.
SharedArrayBuffer was disabled in Safari 11 due to Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212069 re-enabled it behind a flag, and talks about making it public "Once cross-origin isolation is done". However, it links to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215407 as representing when cross-origin isolation is complete, which as I understand it hasn't seen any activity in the past year.

Tesla seems to be testing a CCS adapter. With such a thing, which doesn't seen like high barrier, a Tesla would be able to use both networks.
> I don't want to use sqlite.

Why not? If you read this page here:

https://sqlite.org/appfileformat.html

You'll find that your requirement of "internally be a directory" can be done using Sqlite with this one, single, simple table:

CREATE TABLE files(filename TEXT PRIMARY KEY, content BLOB);

I.e., you do not have to create a traditional relational DB schema if you do not want to do so. Of course, if you later do want to add additional relational data, if you are already using Sqlite then doing so becomes trivial.

Plus you mention "cross platform macOS bundles", Sqlite provides cross platform compatibility automatically (even to Linux or Windows platforms).

And, presumably, your focus is on the desktop app rather than a file format. Using Sqlite then removes your need to distract your focus to a file format.
I was going to mention that if you somehow turned your side project into a side hustle, that could be received well, because it shows you were able to evolve your project into the business (maybe even monetization) direction...but that would require really careful, nuanced explanation...so i defer my position to what @PragmaticPulp rightly stated about being very careful in how that distinction is presented (to avoid concerns around distractions, etc.).
> And you have to do all the work of pulling apart *args to get the data you want, including manually throwing errors if you didn't get what you expected.

Respectfully, isn't this just the same amount of work to define named function arguments?

In Perl you do the work of unpacking the array and then validating data. In Python you have the work of defining the function arguments and then validating the received data.

> Python lets your function signature have required positional arguments, variable positional arguments (*args) AND variable keyword args (*kwargs). And everyone uses these features because it makes programming much more pleasant and manageable.

Perl supports this as well. Same functionality as *kwargs is found by passing a hash to a subroutine. And of course *args is analogous to how Perl subroutines were designed to work.
Definitely HN hug of death... Seems to be stabilizing now if you'd like to try again. Apologies for the instability.

What you'd hope is that someone would use that result to get funding for a bigger study. I've got a lot of sympathy for the sceptical position, but you've got to start somewhere.
Those same carmakers didn't invent CCS either. So by the same logic they'd be skipping the non-proprietary CCS standard just like the proprietary Tesla one.
A group of Tesla home chargers will do that, they're wired together, so a parking lot situation.
They are building the ports to control the policy, it ain’t altruistic.

China owned port can be shut down on a whim, thus giving its owner political power because closing the port would effect the nations livelihood via exports/imports.
The trick is to cheat: Pick side projects which you know you can make substantial progress on in a small amount of time given your unique set of skills and experiences.

Home to some of the best and brightest engineers in the world and California is still figuring how many firemen, goats and firetrucks to send.

Based on my experience, Salesforce does leave acquisitions to do their own thing for a long period of time - Heroku, Tableau and Quip are examples of that. But yes, its a big bureaucracy and things can move at a glacial pace.

I don't know if you might find it interesting but I made an open source coding tool and framework for Android that is pretty fun and fast to use. You can code using the phone or a computer using a remote editor throught Wifi (no internet required).

It comes with lots of examples and remixing them is quite fun to get quick and nice results.

SQLite does too much copying. I might have large binary assets and copying back and forth sounds terrible.
Speaking from experience, getting absorbed as a small nimble company into a behemoth is akin to slowly boiling a frog alive. Things usually start out as business as usual for quite a while, at least for engineering; other departments are heavily impacted immediately. Then... the beuracracy creeps and grows and soon you have some corporate IT nonsense on your machine that blocks DNS lookups to github.com so you don't "leak intellectual property" and now you can't build your software any more and your manager is a plant.
Why is that comparison relevant?

> The obvious logical choice is for Tesla to start retrofitting Superchargers with CCS now that it's open and eventually ween Tesla owners into using adapters that Tesla already makes.

European superchargers already offer CCS ports. Tesla started adding them in 2018 for their Model 3, which also features CCS (at least in Europe).

> All V2 Superchargers in Europe feature dual-cable posts to accommodate both DC Type 2 and CCS Combo 2 charge-ports. European V3 Superchargers feature single-cable CCS technology, which are directly compatible with all Model 3 vehicles. Model S and Model X vehicles in region can access V3 Superchargers with a CCS Combo 2 adapter.

https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/support/supercharging

And here is another post from 2018 showing one of the first pictures of a supercharger with CCS: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-supercharger-dual-charge-ccs...
The standards based version of that is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Charge_Point_Protocol I've no idea if Tesla use something similar.

Electric helicopters would be facing the same problem as electric planes - energy density. Right now fossil fuel energy density is still some 40 times greater than batteries and I don't think conventional batteries will ever come even close to matching it. There would have to be some radically new type of a battery, if such a thing is even possible.
TI is Telematik Infrastruktur. So TI-Messenger is just a messenger running on the VPN used for patient-data.

It's good to see this happening. One of the biggest German healthcare contractors - famous for terrible code - had managed to creep their S/MIME demo implementation derivative code as a standard for secure communication in the healthcare world. With a MITM at each Kassenaerztliche Vereinigung(i.e. the people that represent the doctors and that charge ~2% per transaction for charging the public insurance companies). So it's unaudited "E2E" with a MITM by design. Given the complexity of this codebase, I do hope that they just use it unmodified.

EDIT: one of the reasons why the KVs rolls/ed their own is because of inherent distrust between the physicians or the institution representing them and the governments health ministry getting that data. They believe that the government is incentivizing hospitals to take over physicians share of the cake. I wouldn't say that the distrust is misplaced, but unfortunately these crappy half baked own solutions born out of nepotism don't help their case.
If you look at Khronos slideware that is kind of the official message, naturally that is what those people end up thinking, specially if they are newbies looking into learning portable 3D APIs.

Ulrich Kelber may be the coolest higher german official, but he keeps complaining about not being listened to (on Mastodon, in meme form).

I tend to think the political machinery isn’t afraid of proprietary/monopoly dependency in general, the issue is rather with those companies not being domestic.
That's even worse, because then an upgrade to the compiler in the managed CI runner (e.g. Github Actions') base-image will translate to the same version of the code failing where it previously succeeded, with nobody sure why.

At least with -Werror on at all times, devs will tend to upgrade before the very-stable CI environment does, and thereby catch the problem at development time (usually less time-pressure) rather than release-cutting time (usually more time-pressure, esp. if the release is a hotfix.)

-----

Mind you, it does work to enable -Werror only in CI, if you lock your CI environment / compiler Docker image / etc. to a specific stable version, and treat that as the thing to re-lock in place of the "error-check suite snapshot version."

This has the disadvantage, though, that you can't take advantage of newly-stable/newly-unstable language features, or of newly-introduced compiler optimizations, without biting the bullet and taking on the work of fixing the errors introduced by re-locking the base-image.

With a separate flag for locking down the error-check-suite snapshot version, you could continue to upgrade the compiler — and thereby get access to new features / optimizations — while staying on a particular build regression "scope."

Which is bad UI in my opinion. Especially since you can use media for association.

Apps deprecate fast and so would all the data contained within them.
Tesla doesn't have an app for charging. The act of plugging in the car is enough to associate the car to a billable account, without requiring fidgeting with a phone to open an app to initiate charging/billing. Don't even need to authorize with NFC.

This is a significant improvement over using NFC and apps.

I am curious as well with the last questions: Encrypted at rest? And can the owners (service maintainers) see the saved data? Scanning through the faqs and privacy pages, the only bit I found relevant is in Privacy Policy section 14 "Data Security" which, as most privacy policies, is quite vague on details. I'd say I would be wary about putting in my Github key to download my repo to use Android Studio or IntelliJ, or credentials/keys to access services for testing my codes, whether the session is ephemeral or persistent. It's hard to tell.

Stride wasn't really going well. There were some obvious, serious issues with technical and product management, for example the insistence on using Jira's javascript-based textbox rewrite ("Fabric") as the GUI element for composing messages, under the spiel of 'unification'.

As "Fabric" is a web component, this meant that mobile apps for Stride essentially had webviews for their input box, introducing additional latency (critical for typing), bugs, inconsistent editing behavior to native iOS/Android UIs, and performance issues especially across lower-spec android devices (it's just a textbox FFS!).

Plus, engineers were wasting time figuring out how to sort browser and webview compatibility issues, instead of, you know, implementing a textbox using native technologies which isn't rocket science. To make matters worse, the team working on Fabric was juggling between fixing INPUT BOX bugs on Jira, on Confluence, and on Stride, making it a gigantic mess that kept multiple product managers distracted for the wrong reasons.
