Largely. There's a lot of noise in car sales month-to-month. Different manufacturers prioritizes different markets in blocks. And in the case of cross-continent shipping to small nations, frankly the arrival date of specific freighters can jiggle the numbers.

But Ford seems to be doing well with this car regardless. It's not beating Tesla in sales numbers, but it's selling and competing.
Different manufacturers probably use different systems but no. BMW attempts to read the speed limit signs using the frontal camera with a mix of some sort of stored info - it knows that the speed limit is about to change (Mobileye?), but it is very often that it won't catch a sign in the bend or when the weather is bad. Also, it does not recognize time restricted speed limits, for example 30kph from 7:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday so it would keep driving 30kph outside of those hours while 50kph is allowed. In some places in Germany, it does not recognize the city limits and carries on showing 70kph for a kilometer longer than it should.
For me workflow implies something substantial and so appropriate occasionally. Activity, task or just a way to do things works too.

I would add to the list Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, who took "off the table" impeachment in 2006, and prosecution in 2009, respectively. A lesser crime, to be clear, but they are morally culpable nonetheless.

On the one hand, I can understand the hesitancy to set a precedent of prosecuting the political opposition; while I think the evidence is clear that Iraq was a war crime, and not a well-intentioned "mistake", it's not hard to imagine counter-factuals in which genuine policy mistakes are spun the other direction.

Nonetheless, it should give us pause that our Constitutional mechanisms for holding power accountable for flagrant abuse don't seem to have any teeth in practice; not from a lack of legal mechanisms, but from the factionalism of the two-party system, and that leaders are incentivized not to spend scarce "political will" that would distract from their own agendas, if not come to bite them as well when power changes hands.

If you have the ability to set environment variables then it's basically already game over, with or without the existence of the antigravity module.

You could set PATH to change which files are executed in certain scenarios. You could set SSLKEYLOGFILE which logs session keys to an arbitrary file, essentially nullifying TLS/SSL protections. On Linux you can just set PROMPT_COMMAND to whatever you want and it'll be executed any time a bash prompt is printed.

It's an interesting attack vector, but a vulnerability requires impact, and I'm not sure this has very much.
They didn't fight.
Yeah I think a lot of the familiarity is a good thing. I don’t think my dad would ever buy a Tesla, he would be put off by the minimalism and all the controls on the screen (and he wouldn’t even consider a car with a yoke instead of a steering wheel… although to be fair, neither would I). On the other hand, if I get a charger installed in his garage, I think he would be very happy to use a car that works (in terms of user interaction) just like his old one, but where he doesn’t have to go to the gas station and get oil changes.

That makes absolutely no sense in any way.

You were implying that atomic operations, which don't allocate any memory and are just a pass through to CPU instructions operating on a pointer, somehow leak memory.

Now you are saying "all concurrent maps" in C++ leak memory which not only has nothing to with what you said earlier, but it an insane claim to make without linking to specific maps you are talking about, not to mention that there aren't any in the C++ standard library.

> Please show some code you have written or stop replying to my comments.

What would make you realize that saying operations fundamental to a CPU "leak memory" is like saying 'loops make programs crash'. It is only something someone would say if they not only don't understand the fundamentals of what they are talking about, but don't even realize they don't understand it and in fact are absolutely sure that they do.
Hi HN,

I built this a while back for small projects where I wanted to build a static site without introducing the whole npm/js ecosystem.

The main advantage is having re-usable parts for the HTML/CSS/JS instead of writing duplicated markup.

I usually couple this with htmx.org when I want to introduce flask/django/fastapi in the project and things work out wonderfully since I'm already in the python ecosystem.
I find the opening graph to undermine the central thesis a bit: the dot-com bubble burst in 2002, but is barely reflected on the graph; the growth levels off in 2005 or 2006. If the change in productivity was largely software-moderated, I would expect a lager change around the dot-com burst. Meanwhile the large change seems to be the 2007 Subprime mortgage crisis - and presumably the follow-up change in interest rate and investment patterns.

Hi! Thank you for pointing out our pricing. I totally agree it's not final and we might want to reconsider it to keep the high standards. Now all of the designers are based in Europe and we can be more cost-effective.

Regarding the promo $7 trial — this price is not because the work is worthless. We pay for you trying Awesomic :) After testing some boring targeting, we decided to pay our designers instead of paying Facebook Ads. It seems promising as designers' work "sells" itself and clients can test everything live — like turnaround, quality and communication.
What connection is there with holding leaders accountable and occupying a country with millions of civilians who have no connection to any of these events and are simply trying to live?

If we use this logic, then the US should be stormed and occupied for the sins of its leaders and all innocents should be held culpable for not overthrowing their evil government.
Thanks for sharing, didn't know about that.

Sure, but more than shuffling.
I'm usually one for "let's not blame all of the world's problems on Trump", but Trump (or his admin) negotiated a May pullout of Afghanistan with the Taliban. I'm not sure why you're asserting that Biden "ignored all of it" and "pulled out overnight". What conditions were or weren't met? In what ways did the Taliban not agree to the Doha Accord? Be specific.

And what do you think telling the commander of Bagram that we were leaving was going to accomplish? First, they knew we were leaving. Obviously we're not sending them an invitation to join us. And if they didn't do anything and were "surprised" by the US pulling out... I mean did he not notice forces packing up? Incompetence. You can't fix that. Second, do you think this would have changed the entire ANA folding? No. It's a boogeyman with no consequences whatsoever.

> Also … Those poor people holding on to the plane. All dead. It’s clear how bad things really are looking at how insecure the airstrip is. It shouldn’t be possible to grab onto a military plane in any scenario.

Well it's either that or the US forces unleash machine gun fire on civilians. Many more would be dead. The truth is there's no scenario in which you can secure a perimeter that large without massive forces when a population decides to just storm the fence, unless of course you want to just indiscriminately kill people.

Anyway. My real "enemy" here is the exact same media who has for years been complaining about Afghanistan, publishing article after article about US imperialism in Afghanistan, how it's a failed war, all of that and then when we say fine you're right, they turn right around and start talking about how pulling out is the wrong move blah blah blah. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Might as well save money.

The geopolitical ramifications are overstated too. Yet again MSM working on trying to drum up war scenarios. This frees US attention from Afghanistan and the Middle East to worry about other areas. Afghanistan has no way to extract resources. There are no ports. No roads. No mines. No machines. All of this "China is going to get all the resources" stuff is just fear-mongering nonsense.

We spent 20 years and $2 trillion+ trying to get Bin Laden and create a good government in Afghanistan. It didn't work. The government collapsed in a week. Spending another 10 years there would have changed nothing. Should have left earlier anyway.

> this one event is worse than anything trump did or had happen during his administration

The US spent 20 years in Afghanistan, supposedly building up institutions that $2 trillion were poured into as 2300 Americans were killed.

That the US would continue funding and arming Afghanistan, but would remove US troops was announced in mid-April. Within four months, the Taliban completely took over the country, a month before the final US withdrawal date scheduled for next month. It shows how much support these American-built initiatives had.

This is not one event, it is 20 years of failure. I commend Biden for cutting US losses even if it invites criticism, 20 years is enough. This is the first good, tough decision Biden has made in my opinion.
Exactly that. Top brand tools are expensive, but lower mid range these days is surprisingly cheap, and even for one off projects might "pay for itself". And they get cheaper. Labor costs are increasing. Obviously this comes with few caveats: a) you have to enjoy what you do, so the labor is free and you treat the time as me-time and b) you actually know what you're doing... running in to a disaster and then getting someone to fix it can be very-very expensive :)
> is a stereo that sounds better actually better than a stereo that looks better? That is a value judgement and there is no right or wrong.

Disagree; value systems are the inputs to rationality. The only constraint is that you do the introspection in order to know what it is that you value. In that sense buying a stereo based on appearance is the right decision if you seek status among peers or appreciate aesthetics. It's the wrong decision if you want sound quality or durability.

I think the real issue is that people don't do the necessary introspection, and instead just glom onto catch-phrases or follow someone else's lead. That's why so many people hold political views that are contrary to their own interests.

Whoa, retail is doing LPR now? Not surprising, but goodness.

I forgot a high-value item at a checkout lane the other day, and when I returned with my receipt to ask for it, they pulled up the video of the checkout lane to confirm I hadn't gotten it. Not terribly far-fetched to see that moving to identification via tracking to LPR or otherwise.

TSMC is 100% B2B (business to business).

B2B market dynamics have almost nothing in common with consumer markets. Sales for example is 100% "direct" - you knock on doors and visit to close deals in-person. You can use Zoom et al. but it's only effective once the sale is pretty mature. Most selling is highly technical and requires a face-to-face conversation plus hands-on "proof of value" in "real-time". Such conversations "weave and dodge" like a boxing match so you have to think, respond and sell on your feet. A passive web page or data sheet PDF is merely the 1% of the conversation required to close a deal.

You (in both marketing and sales roles) literally know all the companies in the competitive and customer space, however.

As a result, broadcast advertising is pretty much a waste of money because EVERYONE in such industries has a black book with every person who matters to their product purchase decisions in it and it's not that thick either. The marketing and selling process has so many intangibles and goodwill that this is the only way it works. This is also why direct sales is so high paying as a profession.

In just one area we sell into, there are literally 100 people on the planet who know anything about the market space. The market cap happens to be $10B-$25B depending on what you include so it's well worth the effort.

I literally know ALL my competitor and customer employees by name because I've worked with most of them over a career.

So if I want to sell something, I just contact the right people, arrange a meeting and if my pitch, process and product are good, I'll get the sales. It does require work along the way but once you have it down, it's a lot of "turning the crank" mentally, emotionally and socially.

We're rolling out a new piece of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and that exactly how I closed our first sales.

Of course the product sales cycle is anywhere from 3-18 months because it's heavy capital equipment. Sign-off is generally at a VP or CEO level and an elaborate buying process exists.

Our unit prices range from $30K-$1.5M so this is never going to be something you buy with e-commerce and a credit card. At least not until our installed base is big enough. But that's only companies like TSMC - they still nit and negotiate then so it's still not a "credit card" simple purchase.

The point of all of this is ALL of TSMC's customers are just like ours (TSMC is also one of our customers): every TSMC foundry deal is starting at 6-figures and if you can't play that ante, you'll never be a TSMC customer.

Again they don't have that many customers so most marketing and sales is utterly different from anything seen in consumer markets.

And everyone comes to them because of their brand value which has been top-notch for decades now - they literally have to turn business away.
A list is usually represented by an ol in HTML, not a table.

HN uses three trs for each item, not one. The table cells are also not consistent, because it's not actually a tabular data, so each cell could have nothing (used as a spacer for layout), or more than one thing squeezed inside. The intermingling of semantic and non-semantic (presentational) elements makes "understanding" the page difficult, which incidentally also makes the page less accessible since screen-readers also rely on the same mechanisms to relay information to non-sighted users.

LemonadeJS is pretty much vanilla, no depencies, no transpiling.
I second all this. Reading the blogpost I was wondering how the author will do with this parser to actually build an AST rather than just validating syntax.

The thing is that building an AST is typically the kind of thing where "do it with some hacks which build the structure procedurally using global variables" as kazinator said is a sure way to have horrible bugs. The inherently recursive nature of an AST doesn't mix very well with procedural manipulation of a global state.

For me, I think this is one of the coolest projects I've seen in a long time, and definitely the first musical programming language I've ever seen. I was a musician in high school and haven't picked up an instrument for a long time, but I still remember how sheet music works. As a drummer, I was never much good at reading notation or playing other instruments, so this would be a really accessible way for me to write music and see what it sounds like, as well as debugging it the way I would with code.

>Haskell is cool, but trying to explain to someone the difference between `.`, `$`, `<|>`, `|>`, `<$>`, `>>=` and more is quite painful.

For those who aren't familiar, I'll explain:

First of all, these are all infix operators, meaning they take two parameters: one before the symbol, and one after. You already know many infix operators: +, -, %, etc. I'll be surrounding them in parentheses, as that's idiomatic when they're not being used in the infix position.

(.) is compose: run one function, then feed its result into the other.

($) is just a tool for avoiding parentheses. It means "wrap everything after this in a set of parens".

(<|>) is alternative. Try one computation that can fail. If it doesn't work, try the other.

(|>) is either snoc (the opposite of cons) or pipe--as in bash--depending on what you have imported.

(<$>) is the general form of map, called fmap in Haskell (since map is just for lists). Given a function and a value inside a container, return the function applied to the value, inside the container.

(>>=) ah, bind. One half of the interface to the famously difficult monad. It's really not that hard, conceptually: run a computation, then use the result of that to run another computation. You might say "that sounds like compose!" and you'd be right. The difference is that a "computation" (or "action", or whatever your local monad tutorial calls it) is a function in a context. That context can be "it might not exist", which is called Maybe, or "there are a lot of values in order", which is called List, or "it can do side effectful IO", which is called, well, IO. If you want to compose those kinds of computations, you need to also "compose" their contexts as well. The implentation of that composition varies from context to context, but the interace is the same: (>>=), or bind.

Of course, conceptually is the easy part. This is the one operator in your list that can be a little difficult to gain an intuition for.
Of course every decision is not correct, but the previous responses were written as if the purpose of the decisions that management made was to inconvenience or harass people, rather than simply an effort to stay in business.
Agreed. Trump was telling us that the virus would just disappear. He was holding huge campaign rallies and gatherings with no masks and no distancing. This was very much a failure and it caused him to lose the election to even a lightweight candidate like Biden.
Exactly, so we gained nothing and lost so much more. Why would they fight? We are publicly stating we expect the Taliban to win in a few months. Why fight and die so that the people abandoning you can have an easy time of it? If I was an Afghan soldier I can already see the writing on the wall. Just blend into the crowd and welcome the regime change, its all you can do.
