Security is not everything there is to want from a messenger. Due to its centralized approach, Signal is having a problem with financing and I doubt it can be easily solved. It had a large downtime recently. Also, it becomes an easy target for all kinds of bad actors, since it's the single server. I trust it less for those reasons, even if it's "secure" by your standards. I just don't see it being secure long-term, not enough to suggest it to my friends or use myself.

People who truly need privacy in the short term, should consult a professional and not trust random comments from strangers.
From Ford. There is a huge drivetrain elements market from Ford, Mopar, GM (whose terrific LS series of engines are in hundreds of thousands of street rods, race cars etc). This is a natural progression and an encouraging continuation (for now, bureaucrats willing) of the long tradition of US car building choices.

The challenge for EV conversion is not the motor, which is simple, it's the battery skateboard and the technology to process the stored energy into viable mileage.

EV's are a huge fire risk, my concern would be fast EV's and inadequate battery protection in a converted vehicle + impact damage to charged batteries = inferno.

There is plastics tech on the horizon to stop damaged ganged up batteries in a runaway thermal event from trapped energy contagion but right now little effort has been made to isolate batteries to prevent this.

Before iPhones, humans had a rather impressive ability to create a mental map of a city. Upon seeing or hearing an address, they could rapidly plan a path to the location with nothing more than their own mind!
I find this idea intriguing, but who will enforce protecting the forest? All national governments resist loss of their sovereignty, and many of these governments secure financial compensation from allowing people to exploit their forests in one manner or another.

As an investor I would want to know that the forest is truly safe due to my investment, but will the armed guards report to me or the state government? I think the answer is obvious, and I fear it's a deal breaker for this scheme.

I’m a “rich” person and I’ve done cam shows and asked my partner if I could start an onlyfans a few years ago (the answer was no). I don’t need the money, I do it because I enjoy it.

I know if I did need the money I’d try making it a career. However, gay sex work doesn’t have the same power dynamic issues straight SW does, so I’m not sure I’d feel the same way if I was a straight woman.
Intel's processor is drawing 307W to slightly edge past the 5950X in Cinebench, which only draws around 214W.

It's hard to cool 307W over extended periods without your computer becoming really loud, even with a water cooling setup.

Now, if they had that kind of cooling available, they could have easily gotten a lot more performance out of the Ryzen, while the i9 is already operating at the limits of what consumer grade cooling can sustain.

There's no way that Intel processor is beating a 5950X that is also drawing 300W. At that point some Ryzen's will be operating at close to 6GHz per core.

The most interesting takeaway is that Intel apparently has no qualms selling a processor with a stock configuration that draws 300W.

Also their Ryzen numbers are beyond suspicious. On a silent configuration (peak power draw ~209W, 175W sustained, some undervolting) my Ryzen 5900X hits a Cinebench R20 score of 8835 vs their 8390. I suspect my rig is worse since I cheaped out on the RAM, but I wouldn't know because they omit information about the Ryzen test rig.

Their Ryzen numbers don't add up with other benchmarks around the internet either: The 5950X should hit around 10400, and the 5900X should hit 8600 in their stock configurations with mid-to-high-grade RAM[1]. Their scores are 400 points and 200 points lower respectively.

To get numbers as bad as theirs, I have to mismatch my FCLK and RAM intentionally. But again, we don't know what their setup is because they didn't tell us.

We however do know that they used DDR5 RAM for the Intel processor, which the current gen Ryzen don't support. Likely some performance was gained there as well, but obviously they didn't test the Intel processor with DDR4 RAM to get an idea of how much comes down to faster RAM. It's still fair to use DDR5, since the Intel processor supports it, but it's hard to say much about the Intel processor performance (development) itself without some additional information. Without this information we don't know whether we can expect the next generation of Ryzen processors with DDR5 support to immediately leave Intel in the dust again, or whether DDR4/DDR5 doesn't really matter.

But there is no API here. The article makes it clear that you were intercepting client-server communication not meant to be used by third parties in order to write your own client. That it could be used as an API doesn't matter since the intent wasn't to create an API.

I could do the same thing and write an app for, say, the tax agency by scraping its website but it would be a legal gray area.
They were mocking someone for choosing to do without technology, it was just a snippy retort. Why aren't you jumping down their throat?

edit: Turns out I was wrong about the parent's intent. For what it's worth, I do actually drive in silence a lot. There is something about a vehicle in transit that temporarily relieves you of responsibilities outside of the drive, and it's a great time to reflect. I could reflect on this comment thread, for example. Two times in the past few months I've been wrong about someone's intent on HN and met them with a little too much spice than was fair, that's worth reflecting on.
I used to work at Mozilla and periodically checked the status of the "add API to hide the tab bar" bug.

I don't think anybody was directly opposed, but there were a lot of hidden edge cases that needed to be dealt with.

Even though full-time devs might not have time allocated to doing this themselves, they are open to accepting solutions as long as the contributions are thorough and follow up on their concerns.

Unfortunately IMHO most submissions these days are more like "this looks simple to me, just do it!" instead of a genuine engagement. To some people, that looks like opposition.
That one game that positively pushes my boundaries is the Cities Skylines; many factors come into play, especially when you're managing an entire city. It will exercise your cognitive skills.

Ask HN: What kind of projects make a junior candidate stand out from the rest?
As a self-taught I'm getting the impression that, while I'm learning the basics following tutorials, FreeCodeCamp, the Odin Project etc. there's no one calling me back for interviews, and the cause for that is the type of projects that I'm building.

So, what kind of projects are they worth building? I'm not talking about "just follow your heart and build something you would want to use" because I'm sure no one would care if I made yet another Genshin Impact wishes simulator, or a character planner for an RPG/MMORPG, or even a chess game.

Since my goal is to build things FOR OTHERS I thought it's wise for me to ask what would someone want to see in my portfolio. My goal is to start with frontend and pivot to backend after a few years (or sooner, depending on the company). I only do that because I read pretty much everywhere that the frontend world is more open to self-taughts than the backend world, so I'd hate climbing the metaphorical wrong wall.
Yikes! I had a similar experience with cataract surgery. I was conked out for the initial portion, but I regained a state of half-consciousness about halfway through. I was drugged up enough that I could sit calmly while listening to the surgical team and watching them stick stuff in my eye, but it’s unnerving to remember it.
Wait, does this apply to all companies with over 100 employees or just the ones that contract to the federal government? I was under the impression the mandate only applied to the latter.
I do use paper maps as my phone doesn't support apps or maps.

They're surprisingly useful.

Payphones, nope. Still got a flip phone. Yep, can be used to track me, but I don't take it everywhere.

Also, your position seems to be something like, If you can't be perfectly private from every possible angle, any choice enhancing privacy imperfectly is silly. I don't agree with that.
Not trying to be snarky, but if you use your brain to figure out where you are going (perhaps referring to paper or digital maps before leaving), you learn your route, understand the geography of your location, and don't create a permanent dependency on being connect to the internet.
Woodworking Product
Snowflake separates compute and data storage which allows you to add more compute during busy times and switch to a lower compute during off peak times. It is also considered to be a data warehouse that is not from a cloud provider(even thought it uses AWS underneath and managed by snowflake).

The company i work for use snowflake. Just like any cloud platform, you can run up the tab if wrongly configured and not optimized.
It says a lot about how they approach code generation that makes it a giant waving red flag, for me personally. A rule of code generation is "don't output internal structures unless it's necessary for runtime functioning". This isn't necessary, since no reference is being made to them, which it knows in advance. It tells me that they don't care about the output, which means that if I use it for a long term big project the output is likely to not be human readable, which actually means a whole lot when you are debugging it in-browser!

They prove how silly their headline is in the second sentence. This is screaming "biased".
> VSCode presents an API around a specific notion of what a language is and how it interacts with the editor

I would say Emacs has this as well, in its syntax tables. They are its schema for "what a language can be" and especially "how the editor can interact with it".

I'm sorry about your uncle. The crazy thing about Heroin, I think they talk about it in Trainspotting, is that it isn't entirely irrational to value heroin more than everything else in life. That's how unbelievably good it makes people feel.

My great fear is that someday someone will make something as powerful as heroin, that doesn't have the same barrier to entry, and can easy be smoked out of a vape pen or something. Just that could easily be the demise of civilization.
It was a counterpoint to his sneer, I felt like it was a productive re-contextualization of their narrow viewpoint. I am really surprised people seem to be missing the parent comments snark but not mine, it was really on the nose.

I have double vision because of previous eye surgery, and the end result is going to be a surgery where they

1. Put me under

4. Push the eyes to the side and reach in with a tool to permanently attach the muscles

The doctor was telling me the last part and I was staring at her like she was insane; "wait.. while I'm awake?!?". My plan is to just schedule a psychological appointment for later the same day.
And a niche that will definitely see players working to fill, if the last 100 years or so of aftermarket & tuner culture teaches us anything.

The first things I did when I bought a BMW convertible about 10 years ago was order BMW specific aftermarket wheels from a company that only sells wheels for BMWs. I also ordered aftermarket electronics from two companies that only market to BMW enthusiasts.

There will definitely be companies coming out with bolt-on battery packs for things like Jeep Wranglers and old trucks like this F-100. If bolt-on isn't possible, then it will be kits that the engineering has already been done and you just need to measure and weld on the mounts and then bolt on the battery pack and run the wiring.
At roughly 25W per Performance Core running at 5.2GHz on Intel 7nm High Performance Node, with a ST Geekbench score of ~1900. Compared to The Apple M1 Max running at 3.2GHz on a TSMC 5nm Low Power node, at roughly 5W per core, with Geekbench score of ~1750.

The is 5x the power for a 8.5% of performance increase.

But I know there are many who just want to get the best ST performance regardless or power usage. And considering someone Overclock the thing past 8Ghz barrier. It is still pretty damn impressive.
you will never be as fast or flexible as an F1 car

F1 race cars are literally the least flexible cars available. They are designed for exactly one type of racing and there is hardly anything you are allowed to configure the way you want. There are cars with higher top speeds than F1 cars, and cars that accelerate faster. A $2k second hand Honda Civic will beat the crap out of an F1 car around a gravel track. F1 cars aren't even the fastest design for racing on F1 race tracks. F1 cars are only good for one thing, and that is winning F1 races.

> I can’t see the traditional crowd turning in wrenches for a soldering iron

Looking at what it takes to do a swap, it seems like it's far less soldering and still a huge amount of wrench turning. It's possible some of the old folks won't go for it, but I know a bunch of hot rodders that would totally do it. Maybe not exclusively, but at least for the novelty. Heck, the biggest electric-mod enthusiast I know is pushing 70.
I remember taking an English course at university in which use of the passive was banned. That was a bit annoying, but okay whatever I would just write more actively. The real crazy part was that the verb "to be" was banned. Sure it's used to build the passive, but "he is a doctor" is _not_ passive. I could never convince the instructor that this made no sense and was required to do say things like "he became a doctor" or whatever trying to find verbs as close to "to be" as possible in meaning. It was pretty idiotic.
A lot of those forks don't even bother with CI: Some of them, one of their first commits is to remove all the tests.
At least by then they had seatbelts. I restored a 1954 F-250, and the very first thing I had to do was install aftermarket belts. Now that I'm grown with kids, I'm not at all sure I'd let them drive the same thing, crumple zones and airbags and whatnot are all just too good to pass up.
I'm waiting for something like this IRL. Ford already sells chassis only trucks, so if they would just make that with the battery pack and motors, I could bolt on the body myself.
The advice is, in essence, to prioritize your mailing list over audiences on proprietary platforms like Twitter and TikTok. This may work for some, but mailing lists seem like they would be really ineffective for a lot of use cases.
More importantly, this niche market will be the people making YouTube videos and attending car shows. These people will have huge influence on more casual Ford pickups fans, and will help sway them to electric
My mother accidentally put mosquito repellant in my eyes as a child (my father had put it in an eye dropper to carry hunting and didn't label the bottle)

To this day anything that messes with my eyes freaks me out. That little puffer thing at the eye doctor? That thing is my nemesis. I won't wear contacts. Lasik is out of the question because on top of this phobia I also have CP and I get super spastic when stressed.

Having to get monthly injections in my eyeball would be pure nightmare fuel for me. I'm not sure which I'd fear more, that, or going blind.
> Price could be lower. Cheaper to make motor than an engine.

Sure, they could probably drop the price some. But it's starting out at half the cost of GM's most basic LS3 crate motor, so it's not terribly priced.
Is there any reason to believe a DIY EV conversion is any more dangerous than significant modifications to vehicles with traditional combustion engines?
Kinda, but only indirectly as I understand it. The more I read the more it seems to matter the time spent in a fasting state relative to a fed state.

So a run could work if you’re not overeating, but if you’re regularly overeating it wouldn’t work because you might use up your food, but then immediately resupply or have eaten too much prior to it and it takes hours to finish nutrient delivery.

Mostly though they’re complimentary processes neither directly involved with the other.

> claiming that Emacs is obsolete/outdated/dying
> run of the mill, mundane, forgotten-in-a-few-years, CRUD web apps, a normal _average_ car (M$ vscode)

With regards to obsolete and outdated - I started using vi and emacs back in 1989 (I currently use vi more). The keybindings and such I learned back then are still relevant.

In my day job, I mostly program Android. Before 2014, I programmed with Eclipse and an Android plugin, which is what Google suggested. Then Android Studio was released, which is what Google suggested. As I haven't used Eclipse at all since around 2014-2015, Eclipse, to me any how, has become "obsolete/outdated". Yet I'm still using vi (and emacs) as I have since the 1980s. They have not become outdated, I still use them as I always have.
So, `about:telemetry`, https://telemetry.mozilla.org
Planning Without Plans
I've read a bunch of articles where long time Emacs users are put into a position where they have to achieve something on a tight deadline. Many of them try to muddle through their Rube Goldberg contraption of a local config and under time pressure or advised by someone else they try a modern IDE and suddenly realize why many professional developers use them.

They realize that despite the potentially subpar text editing experience, a highly polished modern Integrated Development Environment is a power tool and a productivity machine for the environment it's aimed at.

One simple example, maybe Emacs can do this. Can Emacs through a press of a button, show a tooltip or a hovering window, directly over the text where my cursor is? Not another window to the side of the editing window or below it. I want my eyes to be stationary and I want the tooltip to be easily dismissable.

Plus, IDEs have professional developers writing integrations so I don't have to, and they're paid to do that for tens of thousands of paying customers, so they pretty much are guaranteed to work. They are also pretty much guaranteed to work well with other advanced integrated features.
So, Tesla Cybertruck and Tesla FSD are also vaporware, yes?

Oh, forgot, you can buy Tesla FSD, it just doesn't work that way.. So, I guess it's still a vaporware.
Maxing a CPU is very hard in practice, the power usage under realistic loads is actually much less crap.
One thing about domain names:

Choose both a registrar and top-level domain for your domain name carefully. Neither your registrar nor your chosen TLD registry should be in the habit of suspending domains at the drop of a hat, or be at risk of going out of business suddenly.

For TLDs, I have said before¹ that if you mostly trust your local government, your national ccTLD should suffice. In fact, it should be your default choice unless you have strong indications it does not fulfill the above criteria.

Of course, no context switching is needed if you do everything in Emacs.
