> The car manufactures have nothing to lose from the loss of oil changes, only the independent dealers.

The car manufacturers sell their cars through the dealers. If every time they make an EV, the dealerships don't order them and steer every customer away from buying them, that's just as much a problem for the car manufacturer.

> Most cars are replaced because the lease was up on the old one.

The leased car still goes to someone else who then needs to service it.

And if the old cars start lasting for 40 years instead of 15 then the value of just off lease cars goes down due to increased supply, which makes leasing more expensive to offset the loss of resale value, which makes fewer people buy new cars.

> Even way down the line, most places don't have emissions testing for old cars: the car is replaced because the parts wear out. Ever seen a car with 250k miles on it - don't use the door handle to close it, it will just break off more, just ignore the worn spot on the seats, the AC will work for another two weeks if I recharge it - the above is real from my last car - a small number of all the little things (and it still ran great)

Nobody replaces the door handle on an ICE car with 250,000 miles on it because they know the powertrain will give out in another 10,000 miles and then the car will be scrap.

But batteries don't work like transmissions. As they go bad they have 150 miles of range instead of 300. For many people that's enough and they'll drive the car that way another five years, and then it's worth replacing the door handle.

Meanwhile battery prices are falling like a rock. The lower they get, the older the car is before it has to be scrapped because a new battery is too expensive.

> Transmissions are generally rebuilt by a third party.

Transmissions can be rebuilt by a third party. That doesn't mean nobody goes to the dealer or buys a new transmission from the carmaker.

> NO, the cost of the battery is they have the ability to replace it. Either you replace all the individual cells (if 18650 a lot of labor - and you need a new chargers for the new chemistry), or more likely the manufacture is keeping everything around to make it even though the car it went in is out of production.

Carmakers have the incentive to standardize this. If every GM EV for twenty years has one of two or three different battery packs, people will be making those indefinitely.

Meanwhile the labor of replacing individual cells in old batteries will happen in countries with lower labor costs because it isn't labor that has to happen at the repair site.

The result is that remanufactured batteries could end up being very inexpensive.
Bitcoins are currently at $45k, so I guess this would mostly just be an issue at a luxury car place, which... should probably prepare to handle these types of transactions I guess. But that's not like Grandpa's Little Old General Store, so I bet they can handle it.

I'm actually curious how this will be implemented specifically. I guess (although I'm not well-informed on the ecosystem) that most of the places that let you do small cryptocoin transaction either use some smaller coin, or they must have some way of doing fractions of a bitcoin, right? In which case, the fraction system would have to be proprietary, I guess? I can't imagine the law required shopkeepers to use any particular proprietary exchange...

This link was very insightful and this law from Colorado is incredibly useful for employees.

I looked into LinkedIn's listings for Denver, Colorado [1]

Not all the companies that listed there were compliant with the Colorado Law, these are big companies and not just small startups that may not have the bandwith to keep up with various state laws.

The ones that do list the salary ranges, its insightful to compare those to where you reside, and make a judgement call about wether the salary matches up with the cost-of-living.

These can be combined with levels.fyi and other similar sites out there.

Thank you legislators in Colorado!

Conmen still definitely exist and they will target the recently rich quite frequently. "Oh did you just get a big options buy out - well I run a wealth management fund that can help grow that sustainably..." these sorts of schemes hurt people bad but because the people had a boatload of money they tend not to raise as much media attention - also IMO America is socially accepting to people who fleece others out of their well-earned cash, if the fool was parted from his money then the benefactor is clearly "more deserving" of it.
I'm not a font guy, but I really dislike the 'a' character in this font set.
The spacial organisation and fuzzy finder looks great.

the whole reason I use linux and gnome is because it's easy to pin window on top for this exact reason, (plus some other tweaks). You've captured how I ( and perhaps many) do work really well.

Well done.
50 rps not that much, though of course easily sufficient for many situations. This is also Django which certainly isn't the fastest choice. I played around with it a long time ago and liked it quite a bit, but you don't choose Django for performance but for the other benefits.

I'm really more surprised that static serving is so slow at 180 rps. This should be able to easily saturate the network, statically serving files is very, very fast. From what I see in the blog I doubt that the files are very large, so there is probably some other bottleneck or I'm missing something here.
Yeah, it feels like only the minimum needed for Unixy BSD support was adopted from FreeBSD and included in XNU and the userland.

Sharding does take more time, but it doesn't save that much in hardware costs. Maybe you can save money with two 4TB ram servers vs one 8TB ram server, because the highest density ram tends to cost more per byte, but you also had to buy a whole second system. And that second system has follow on costs, now you're using more power, and twice the switch ports, etc.

There's also a price breakpoint for single socket vs dual socket. Or four vs two, if you really want to spend money. My feeling is currently, single socket Epyc looks nice if you don't use a ton of ram, but dual socket is still decently affordable if you need more cores or more ram and probably for Intel sevees; quad socket adds a lot of expense and probably isn't worth it.

Of course, if time is cheap and hardware isn't, you can spend more time on reducing data size, profiling to find optimizations, etc.

One of my jobs during high school was working for an engineering firmed turned accounting software house. Nobody bought their engineering software, but their in-house accounting apps turned into best sellers. Since GL/AP/AR is hardly anything new it made me wonder what happened and it seems like most of the competitors were bought or went under. Sure enough PeachTree which was #1 in the late 80s has renamed itself and gone cloud subscription.

There's always GNU Cash I guess, although I haven't heard good things from my one friend who tried it.
There is a difference between being able to handle 4.2M requests a day, and handling 4.2M requests per day.

Nah is a blanket response to the parent post of hyperbole and faux-objectivity.

His whole post was ridiculous; the GOP has always been just as, if not moreso ready to trade ANYTHING for "security" (security theater mostly), usually if there is a correlating premise of ensuring electoral results in their favor, which they usually beat the Dems over the head with as the "national security" party. With the last half decade of debacles under Trump, the "national security" moniker is arguably up for grabs, but the Dems are half-assed and flailing and the GOP is a viscous joke looking for a punchline (hence why I left the latter to go independent, since the former is a lousy home, even if they aren't a traitorous one).

The car manufactures have nothing to lose from the loss of oil changes, only the independent dealers.

The dealers' incentives are going to play some significant role in legacy EV sales. VW dealers were actively steering buyers away from VW's EVs. Also YouTuber "Tesla Economist" has been doing an informal survey by calling legacy auto dealerships and inquiring about EVs. Apparently, legacy auto dealers are now marking up EVs by $2000, $4000, in one case by $13000! (The Ford dealerships are steering callers towards EVs now, so at least Ford has that going for them.)

The loss of oil changes is going to have some not-insignificant effect on the auto servicing industry. Clearly!
Browser APIs are less stable than you might think. If you've ever had to develop web apps for smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Vizio, etc.), then you'll find that each model year is frozen on an old version of Chromium – some from 2016, some from 2017, some from 2018, etc. There are enough differences between them to make this painful. For example: multiple versions of the Media Source Extensions API, web components, CSS variables, ES6 modules, and web font loading patterns.
Again your dealing with absolutes here.

Yes there are still jailbait videos on YouTube, but Google is already heavily moderating and deleting videos. The more "extreme" ones are already being deleted and moderated, what is left is probably more of the tamer ones. The amount of jailbait videos or hate videos or whatever you see now is probably 1/10 or less of what would be there if it was a free for all.

What is being proposed is no moderation of content. The advertisers can choose what to show ads on, but that's it. In that case there would be a flood of these contents. Then its easier to attack them.
I woke up 13 years ago and decided I could never go on a plane again. Before that, I used to fly often for work.

> Firing is dangerous, it can demoralize the team extremely quickly.

Conversely, keeping clueless people around is demoralizing and insulting to the people actually doing the work. I don't mean junior folks who get it but are building experience. A company I worked for hired a junior against the advice of the team (red flag anyone?). We spent 6-8 months with this individual spinning their wheels. They just did not get it. It created more work for the rest of the team to help them, redo the work correctly, etc. Did they fire him? Nope...they transferred him to another group within the company. And of course he's not doing well in that group either. Why should people work their butts off if it seemingly makes no difference?

I've since left that company - this wasn't the primary driver, there were lots of other supporting reasons, but ultimately it came down to my loss of faith in management's ability to steer us in the right direction.
Within gaming, there's Unity, Unreal, Crytek, and the like which I would classify as tech, but otherwise, most gaming companies are far more creative-focused much like film.
There's really nothing wrong with going to the hospital to get checked up if you've taken something that might be killing you. 150 is pretty high for a body that isn't exercising. If I had insurance and my HR was that high from a substance, and wasn't falling, I'd be on my way to the hospital if the diazepam I keep on hand didn't help. Your risk assessment is different. Trying to give stats on something neither of us can reliably give, is very silly.

I also think minimum wage laws are BS - but unfortunately if your society doesn't ensure social services then minimum wage steps in to pick up the slack - ideally earned income could be directed entirely toward luxuries, then workers would be empowered to properly balance their life and work... However, at the moment you can end up working a job that results in you not being able to sustain yourself - that's silly, you might say, nobody would take that offer! But someone will accept it without realizing the full depth of pain the debt forced on them will end up extracting and they will suffer for it.
You're right. I worded it poorly. What I really meant is that it's the kind of behavior you can get away with when there's no competition. IE: A monopoly.

I've seen lots of the alternatives mentioned here, but Intuit has entrenched themselves so deeply in the accounting industry that no one else can compete reasonably.

If someone does manage to start competing it'll end up being more of a duopoly / oligopoly than real competition. No one with the means to compete will forgo the super fat profit margins that Intuit's establishing here.

The prominent Linux tech blogger, Bryan Lunduke left and denounced them this summer despite having been an early adopter and supporter.

IMO, this is too broad a patent to be enforceable. I have built many systems that look exactly like this over the years. The terminology I use is simply "data-driven". Nothing so fancy as "Entity Component System", which is just an opinionated take on the more fundamental idea of arrays of structs (aka "data").

My take is that this patent is part of a defense-in-aggregate strategy which leverages a larger portfolio. I don't think a legal team would stand on this one alone in a AAA vs AAA studio fight.

I usually visualize large corporations pointing patent piles at each other as if they are locked in some sort of cold war. I have zero fears that this patent would be used against me or any of my work.

> If speed is an issue then you want it near the most commonly accessed data.

Yes. You expect the seek time to dominate performance.

The reason that the swap was faster when placed at the beginning is likely because the filesystem is mostly empty and so the allocated portion is at the beginning of the partition.

If the filesystem was near capacity and the files are distributed throughout, then you would expect the performance of the swap at the end and the swap at the beginning to start to converge.
What would an alternative solution need to offer for you to switch?
Heights don't scare me. It's the risk of falling from greater heights and being less in control of mitigating that outcome.

> If you want to use any bundler or build tool created in the past 15 years, it's going to use closures for anything but the most recent projects. CommonJS which is still ubiquitous in NodeJS is literally closures. When it was created, it literally wrapped your file in a function that passed in some variables like global or import then called eval on the module it had now created.

These are all implementation details; they couldn't matter less to most application developers. I've been writing JS for a decade and while I roughly knew that bundlers did something like this, I've never once had to deal with it directly.

> If someone doesn't know how the module pattern works, they are a junior JS dev and absolutely cannot move on with their career until they understand.

This is extremely not true. Knowing how modules are implemented under the hood is a concern of people who work on bundlers, transpilers, etc. For regular devs, an airtight abstraction is presented and it never needs to be more than that. It's wildly wrong to suggest that a person can't be productive at more than a junior level without knowing how this particular sausage is made.

> When you look into the people pushing for these features, you almost always find a Java or C# developer. There's not a mass push by JS devs to add these features.

Hello. I'm a JS dev who hasn't written Java or C# in over six years, who wouldn't want to write either of them, and yet I think private class members are valuable enough to have them in the language.

> even if you and your particular set of devs do not

I'm talking about the average JS dev doing mainstream JS work, here. I argue that ES classes are useful and mostly devoid of footguns for most, realistic, usage in industry. Not just for myself or for one particular team.

In all I think you're taking a fairly extreme purist stance, where people are disallowed from being productive with a given technology unless they have a deep understanding of how it works underneath. That deep understanding is great to have - it's part of what makes a good lead dev - but plenty of people out there are plenty effective working off of provided abstractions, and it's narrow-minded to dismiss that fact.

Again, being very disingenuous. I'm sorry that it's so offensive to you that I was reading the article in Japanese and found it very strange that imperial units were leaking across not only domain topics (semiconductors), but language itself. If you ask me, it's more obtrusive this way than the other way around. I thought it wouldn't be too much of an ask to use the original units that the entire industry uses

This touts a certain kind of agenda that Americans should be pandered to, and I think your aggressive tone reflects that.

I hope you're aware that a very well-supported Japanese edition of The Wall Street Journal exists, and its target audience is Japanese readers. It usually handles localization extremely well. I was reading the non-English article and saw it was using imperial units both in the text and graphs and I had to do a double take. This is the entire reason why I found it interesting.
