Maybe introduce a gradual shift instead over 50 years or so: with each next year taking the originally expected profits of public transport and gradually add those as taxes for cars while at the same time also reducing the current public transport ticket prices?

At the end of those 50 years public transportation could be free and the stubborn car owners or businesses would simply help subsidize more efficient ways of transportation.

Maybe allow reduced taxes for electric vehicles at the same time.

In the end, it wouldn't be much different than the subsidized meat production with artificially lowered meat prices in the US, nor would anyone care much about small increases like that on a year by year basis.
The self-motivation aspect you mentioned is also critical. It's these soft questions that reveal so much about a person's character that speak to me as much as or sometimes greater than certifications or degrees do.

It's also why resume screening done by HR drones or worse, AI, are so problematic. Unless I need someone to do an exact thing extremely fast, I'd much prefer a generalist with a sharp mind, proven "gets shit done" attitude and experience, and is motivated to do the right thing.
That was definitely an important aspect while building it. I'm also glad the HN api is so damn fast.

Does anyone have some more real-world benchmarks of the Ampere part?

The article implies that it performs similarly to the high-end Intel and AMD parts, but the linked benchmarks are mostly synthetic tests like Stress-NG. There are a few Blender benchmarks ( https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ampere-a... ) but the rest of the tests aren’t really relevant to real workloads.

No, not really. Public transport in the cities in the US that I've been to that had public transport (NYC, Chicago, DC, Seattle) cost about the same or less then I would expect to pay in most major European cities.
Right, but your definition of discernment is itself a preference for readability over conciseness. Another developer could say "if it works a month or a year later, then you're practicing a best practice."
Am I crazy, or is this web server not giving a Content-Type header?
The only reason why the closest related coronavirus besides RaTG13 was found in Laos is due to the fact no researchers are allowed to sample any caves in Yunnan china due to government ban. And all research done by Chinese scientists must be reviewed and approved prior to publishing.

One thing I wish could be shared would be the formally publicly accessible viral database the lab had taken down in September of 2019 and refuses to share with anyone even scientists behind closed doors. Right now RaTG13 is the only known virus closest to SARS-COV-2 but no one is allowed to check and verify.
Idiots is a bad term for this. Novices need rules before they are competent. After a certain level of expertise you start breaking the rules, develop your own specialized style, because you know when to break them and how to make up new ones. And we're all novices in some contexts, very rarely anything above that.

The problem is not rules/"idiots"/novices. The problem is when people who make/enforce the rules are not fit to do so, cling to the rules and apply them with sweeping generality. The people who create those problems are typically incompetent but eager or even zealous at the same time.

They are resistant to learning, addicted to power and/or afraid of change and certainly afraid of appearing incompetent. So they never get past that level where they start to recognize when rules need to change or need to get broken.
Plumbers are technologists as well, really. Just a different kind of technology...
Free public transit for people who file taxes makes so much sense. The time and money costs of collecting fares is far to high.
I believe I understood perfectly. But it is not mine or yours or the officers' choice to decide that this law is not worth enforcing. I mean, that is an opinion you can have, and is worthy of having, and especially worthy of advocating for change.

If a law is on the books, then it should be enforced. If it should no longer be enforced, then it should no longer be a law on the books.

And of course I realize this is idealistic, and likely not realistic because lawmakers pretty much never devote time to things like cleaning up such things, short of public outcry.

The New GitHub Issues: Automated Workflows
I know this isn't even a big enough deal to mention in the news release, but I am massively excited about the new multirange data types. I work with spectrum licensing and range data types are a godsend (for representing spectrum ranges that spectrum licenses grant). However, there are so many scenarios where you want to treat multiple ranges like a single entity (say, for example, an uplink channel and a downlink channel in an FDD band). And there are certain operations like range differences (e.g. '[10,100)' - '[50,60)'), that aren't possible without multirange support. For this, I am incredibly grateful.

Also great is the parallel query support for materialized views, connection scalability, query pipelining, and jsonb accessor syntax.

I would tackle distribution way earlier. We are privileged in the product we're making in that it started as an internal machine learning platform for us (we were extremely familiar with the problem space), because we're a tiny, boutique, machine learning consultancy, and even being in that position, we treated the internal platform as if it were a public facing product from the get go: we put it live, had a landing page, onboarded users on a request basis, reached out to to people in the field to have conversations to learn what problems they're having and to solve a more generalized version of the problems we were solving for ourselves, and to bring focus to our backlog by talking with potential users who did not want to use it, and figuring out why.

Notwithstanding that, I would try and get it in the hands of users earlier than I would, even if it were internal.
Yeah, I told him that, but by and large most developers don't work on those problems.
What's a good resource to learn about septic? I'm interested in moving somewhere more rural at some point in the future but have no idea how septic works. I admit a slight squeamishness at the thought of our waste accumulating in a tank, but the part that I'm more concerned about is not knowing what the risks or processes involved are.
> shouldn't have to do no learnin'

Expecting engineers to develop skills they don't learn/use in their actual professions to prove they're capable of working a job makes no sense. If these leetcode puzzles were actually relevant, why do so many engineers have to spend time outside of work "grinding" in order to get better at them?

I love my backyard garden (even though my Brussels Sprout experiment this year proved to be a huge waste of time). I also love the aesthetic that cottagecore is revitalizing. I love drinking at local wineries, buying stuff at my local farmer's market, brewing beer and swapping bottles with homebrew friends, etc...

But holy shit am I repulsed by the influencer aspect that is growing with this "movement". Ways of Seeing taught that publicity (aka marketing) is tied to envy. There is such a deep schism between the Web 2.0 communities that exchange ideas on a forum and the vapid glamour shots posted on Instagram and Tik Tok. I think the takeaway is "Don't trust anyone in your hobby who is making money off their social media account."

Maybe this is why I like homebrewing: everyone is a bearded, chubby 35 year old nerd and there no way to make a 5 gallon carboy of bubbling alcoholic liquid into something "glamourous"
Those block the USB-Port, and to rely on dongles is so Apple.

The headphone jack is a signal. When Apple removed it people like me pledged to never support such a customer hostile move. Google's flip flop on that issue just made this conviction stronger. To remove that port is simply unacceptable, especially in a product aimed at minimizing waste.

I wonder whether this position is rare, or if FP just does not know its customer base.

...left of the American center...

As you admit here, in any nation in Europe (or any nation in Latin America whose government wasn't recently installed by CIA), the name for MSNBC and the Democratic Party would be "the Right". Even in USA, they're the ones banging the drums most loudly for global thermonuclear war.

Your dissatisfaction is that you aren't a pure liberal. If you were, you would go along happily with their efforts to conserve this mess they've created. You just have an unfortunate fixation on the Bill of Rights or whatever. Keep in mind that Madison owned slaves when he wrote that, just as he had owned slaves when writing and campaigning for the Constitution the excesses of which the Bill of Rights pretended to control.

Software is by its very nature systematic and quantifiable. Is the quibble with whether programmers are disciplined?

All software companies would meet the "failure or inappropriate functioning of the system would result in harm to … economic interests" criterion.
>“How can Software Engineers call themselves engineers when there’s no rules, governing bodies, or anything to stipulate what true Software Engineering is? The parallel he drew was to another friend who’s a Civil Engineer. His friend had to be state certified ”

That friend simply didn't realize that "engineer" has different semantics with different historical evolution of word usage:

(1) "professional engineer" -- as in state license board and certification e.g. civil engineer

(2) "engineer" as a descriptive modifier -- e.g. "software engineer" and also some non-programming examples such as "audio engineer", "video engineer", "supply chain engineer": https://www.google.com/search?q=%22supply+chain+engineer%22

We could ask a similar question the friend asked: How can there be a "supply chain engineer" when there are no governing bodies for "supply chain certification" ?!?

It's because some people like to concatenate "engineer" at the end of a job role and others adopt the label and the usage gains wide currency. On the other hand, "dessert pastry engineer" hasn't really caught on so creating a fancier title doesn't always get accepted.

Back in the old days (1960s & 70s), the job titles of programmers on org charts -- especially at non-software companies like banks using COBOL, etc -- was "PROGRAMMER I", "PROGRAMMER II", etc. The "software engineer" seemed to be mostly popularized by software-focused companies like Microsoft, Silicon Valley. But now, even old companies like banks where coding is a cost-center instead of profit-center also have "engineer" in programming job titles.
That might make it easier, not harder, for computers.

Adding in multiple distractor possibilities is a good way to make things harder for humans, with our limited working memory & difficulty chasing a lot of possibilities in parallel, but for a computer that's borderline trivial while it's evaluating each candidate accurately that's hard for a computer to get right. (Think of chess or Go where a computer can descend the game tree down millions of paths easily, but it's accurately evaluating a single board position which is extremely difficult; human players, on the other hand, can evaluate a board at a glance, but can only think through a few lines of play at a time.)

If the rules are simple but there's multiple candidate, the AI will just split at each possible candidate and pursue them until the AI can check whether it fits in the crossword grid or not.
Very beautiful space. However it seems like sound isolation would be horrible. A conversation or any noise anywhere would be heard everywhere. Fine if you are living alone but this looks like a lot of space. Congratulations though on the sale and it's always nice to see a little "real estate porn." Hope you did well financially.
Great work, especially the comment navigation. I find it much easier to view the comment threads and scan top level comments.
If you haven't done it yet do consider a battery replacement from Apple. It's $49 for a 6S, and it made a huge difference for me after about five years with the same phone. When I did it, I believe the replacement was able to be done in store while I waited. https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service/battery-powe...
Anything that starts with talking about "your keywords" mean it is still written for people who are trying to get any site, about any thing, to have good rankings in hopes of future monetization... which is not the same thing as trying to get good rankings for your specific site.

The only SEO you need to worry about for your own business site is "Write Good Content". And that does not have to be the vague wishy-washy meaning of "good". There are specific actions you can take -- (BTW, this is where you actually do worry about keywords.) Put the keywords you care about in the title, in the meta description, in headers, and in the content. This proves to the algorithms that the term really is accurate for this page. Do not spam keywords in meta tags, be accurate and selective. Use header tags to actually hold content headers. And make sure your HTML is valid. A few years back, I'd get really easy SEO gigs, with awesome search improvements, just by running a site through the w3c validator and fixing any problems that are listed.

Once that is done, you'll start getting better placement in results. Afterwards, people will follow the link and read your content - at this point, Google watches whether or not they come back to their results and follow more links. If your content is engaging enough to satisfy them so they do not go back for more results, you'll get the final boost you need to stay at the top of the results.
Day 2, slept 13 hours and negative+extreme emotions are still numbed. great.
Even on public transport, longer commutes are relatively environmentally unfriendly when compared to shorter commutes (in the medium-to-long run). So regardless of individualism, it would generally be a public benefit to encourage shorter commutes.
IIRC the meaning of that was specifically someone that was willing to bodge things in order to ship - someone that prioritised getting it done over getting it "done right" (whatever that means). I think it's a little different from the "plumber" label.

FWIW I like both terms. I just wouldn't use them interchangeably. :)
Couldn't we all take the three shots every two years on a schedule?
You're not thinking this through clearly. Zoom out and consider longer time periods.

For any single interaction, your risk of virus transmission is probably lower with a vaccinated individual than with an unvaccinated individual (although the magnitude of the difference is unclear). But unless you're living as a hermit you're going to be in contact with thousands of people over the next several years. Some of those people will be infected and contagious. So you will inevitably be exposed multiple times.

To what extent did your father's experience building a global trading platform influence the creation of this platform, Azaan?
You not only failed to "quote the sentences that explicitly call for racism" that I asked you to (while continuing to baselessly assert your original claim), but you also inserted more emotional manipulation ("I'm surprised that this is a claim that you feel requires further justification.") in your response and you used a strawman argument (claiming that I had asserted that "Discriminating against people because they're of Chinese ancestry is racist." was false, when in reality I did no such thing, as I was asserting that there was no discrimination based on ancestry in the first place).

It's clear that you're not arguing in good faith and, as I said originally, just trying to stir up conflict using race as a cover.

Future HN readers, take note of these tactics as a way that bad actors will try to avoid answering your questions or try to manipulate you (or others).

Furthermore, unlike the parent, I'll actually cite sections from the two comments under consideration, and show how they're not suggesting racism.

From the topmost comment:

> I fully expect that at some point the United States will deem those born in mainland China, regardless of current citizenship, to be a security risk

Note the italicized section "those born in mainland China", which is, tautologically, not the same as race/ethnicity. You can be American, French, Indian, or Canadian born in China and this condition would still apply to you - or Chinese born in America, and this condition would not. Moreover, beyond the wording being sound, the logic is sound - those born in mainland China are a security risk because of the citizenship issues mentioned in the rest of the comment.

From the comment that replies to that:

> secret programs won’t hire you if your parents are born in mainland China. I found it reasonable, because the CCP will definitely take your remaining family members in China as hostages to make you do things

Again note the italicized section: "if your parents are born in mainland China". This still has nothing to do with race - your parents could be British, Indian, American, Japanese, or whatever, and the sentence (and the general idea behind it) still apply. The part about "the CCP will definitely take your remaining family members in China as hostages to make you do things" is also sound - there's many instances of this exact thing happening, with Operation Foxhunt[1][2] coming to mind.

As I read this I'm building a distribution of a web framework that eliminates block templates and will only have one page template (for the head HTML). I'm gonna have CSS generation and upload built in the CMS as well (tailwind or tachyons only).

I'm sure there will be howls of "you can't let them put code in the database!"

Why not? It's their (the customer's) database and their web service, after all. You can do all sorts of validation on a form input and a database field (like with Tidy and Bleach in my case with Python). Can't do any on a plain text template file.

But "separation of concerns!"

For who? It's always been bad practice in my opinion to assume that not only do end users have on-staff development, or contract development, but that they have multiple tiers of it which need lines drawn between the duties of each. Who says everyone who needs custom software or custom web services is an IBM-sized conglomerate with multiple departments full of software developers? Why can't a mom and pop restaurant have a nice website and a nice phone app? Because they don't want to learn to use javascript, webpack, npm, git, and an IDE? Is that the only reason why?

The least accessible (in a physical sense) parts of web development are the parts that a customer might do themselves (CSS and HTML). I will not believe there is a good reason for that other than software developers trying to talk themselves into more jobs and more contracts.
I know there's technically a distinction, the abstract concept is what I was alluding to when I mentioned the "spirit" of free speech, but I'm not convinced it's useful to make a distinction between the spirit and the law anyway. The concept of government and law is just as abstract.

I think it's more accurate to say the first amendment specifically limits _how_ the US government is allowed to censor speech i.e. they can't use their extraordinary powers to do it. It doesn't say they can't use the same tools and tactics everyone else legally uses to minimize the visibility and impact of certain speech.
Depends how long your after-update tutorial is.

We ran an A/B test on some 3-pane and 8-pane versions of these at my last job and on the long ones with a "dismiss" button IIRC it took our users something like 3.4 panes to hit it on average. The long ones without the dismiss button got people to view panes 7 and 8 a lot more often but there was a noticeable (albeit small) uptick in users who left the site entirely instead of finishing.
