Yeah I suppose that's a valid concern. Even though, you can still choose between major cloud providers inside Timescale Cloud (AWS / GCP currently as I know) so there's that. But it needs to be through Timescale the company (unless you are ok with managing it yourself because in that case you can use the Timescale license and go to any hosting provider). So yeah I agree there's some lock-in but I don't see any other reasonable option for a company to generate revenue without any vendor lock-in
>I can bike or walk everywhere, and the only reason I have a car is that it makes grocery shopping much, much easier

I've lived in the center of an older US city, and one thing I loved was how easy grocery shopping was. I went to the market almost daily, so I never needed a vehicle to get 10 bags of groceries home. Friends who lived outside the city always asked if it felt limiting to not have a car, but I actually found it very freeing. I walked or took transit, and while the transit wasn't usually time-competitive with driving, it was basically free time for me to read, think, etc.
Wow, another library (react-location) that shows TypeScript as its primary documentation language. And I see more and more jobs hiring for TypeScript developers.

I see Microsoft's 3 E's campaign strongly in action with TypeScript.

For those who care about Corporate Ethics, please review Microsoft's:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis...

For that reason, I refuse to touch TypeScript libraries-- out of sheer anti-corporate-oligarchy ethical conviction.
Angular is a framework for single-page applications, based on components with templates. If a property of a component changes, the rendering is automatically updated by the framework. This is supposed to free you from direct DOM manipulation and let you focus on the business logic.

Angular is somewhat similar to React and other SPA-frameworks, but Angular takes more of a kitchen-sink approach and provide its own dependency injection framework, URL routing, HTTP client abstractions and so on.

In comparison jQuery is just a library, it doesn't really care how you structure your application. jQuery makes it a lot easier to manipulate the DOM, but something like Angular is supposed to free you from having to manually touch the DOM in the first place.

And JavaScript is a programming language, but you probably already know that.
I wouldn't waste keystrokes on the classic religious war being waged in this thread so I'm gonna throw my hat in this arena instead. I agree with you---that analogy sucks.

Being able to drive an F1 car comes with excellent financial opportunities. Even if I'm not "on the grid" (i.e., actively competing in the GPs), I can be a test driver. Heck the license required to drive an F1 car opens other doors in itself (maybe in other motorsports, but also allegedly the range of vehicles you can drive).

In contrast, if I am proficient in emacs I am...proficient in emacs. I edit code in a manner that is visually impressive to maybe three persons in the CS department. I'd have an ever-so-slightly deeper connection to RMS than your average CRUD-slinger. I am out of advantages to enumerate and I'm trying very hard.

Maybe text editors are about as similar to cars as apples are to buildings.
In case anybody is having problems finding DevUtils in Setapp - we found that it was hidden in our Setapp Teams account for some reason!

If you’re salaried, there’s no such thing as company time, so that’s not a meaningful distinction.
I totally agree with your perspective. It reminds of an essay pg wrote (http://www.paulgraham.com/kids.html) about having kids, and I think the principles are similar to yours. You can be successful and "do it all", but you might have to modify "all" _a bit_ and you have to be very disciplined and honest about your trade-offs.
Note that this is just the motor, you'll still need a battery, traction inverter and a control system, none of which are cheap. By the time you are done this system for a regular vehicle with a properly engineered battery enclosure will likely cost way upwards of $15K.

Have a look at:

My kids have grown up with screens, amidst all the screen time fear porn, and seem to be doing fine. My oldest is 10, he does well in school and likes to read paper books and does karate and dabbles with sports. And plays a metric ton of video games.

Maybe there will be all sorts of terrible long term effects that won’t manifest for years. But my kids are clearly doing much better than I did in every measurable way.

I grew up a neurotic mess in a broken home. My examples of fatherhood were 80s sitcoms. I’m just making it all up as I go along. Not going to fret about screens until I see a problem.
>I'm guessing you pay significantly more for food at these local places than you would at a big box grocery store.

I think you have a very wrong picture of what the GP is talking about, since this is not really the case at all. We're not talking about NY-style bodegas here. In Germany for example, cut-throat discount stores like Aldi that constantly try to lower the price floor for groceries are ubiquitous and can definitely be found in dense neighborhoods. Come to think of it, a while ago I read that they started building apartment buildings with a store integrated in the ground floor because that concept works well for them.
"Gate drivers firing in all quadrants"
The reactions people are expressing to a parent stating they like to know what their kids are up to in school and what assignments are due is pretty odd.

"it's as likely they'll succeed as they'll become sand through your tight grasp" lol, I have no idea how my statement on working with my kids on their homework and liking to know what is going on has evolved into an image of me being some sort of god king in my house, but hey whatever makes you happy.

My kids have homework, I sit down with them and work on it with them, we bond, we joke around, they learn and they turn it in the next day. The horror.

Edit:
"How do you expect they'll develop these sorts of self-starter skills" To add some color, my 9 year old decided at the spur of the moment while they were asking who wanted to stand up and give a speech to be on student council to do it and he won. I had no input and he just made the decision in the moment so I very much don't think sitting down with kids and doing homework with them or keeping an eye on their schedule kills any self-starter skills. There are always extremes but the overall reaction to this is a bit silly.
My current client wants all of us to standardize on VS Code at some point, and this is by far the most annoying thing for me. I hate that if I leave the editor, it goes back to a mouse-driven design. I'm glad to hear you can change the behavior, so I guess I'll just have to do that at some point to make it work for my needs.

same. i can't even wear contacts -- i tried but it felt soooo bad!

my wife, on the other hand, is a fucking champ when it comes to anything eye related. she has keratoconus[0] and not only she has to do a ton of eye exams every year, but she has to wear rigid contact lenses whenever she's awake.

No, I don't see the point you're trying to get across.

To keep using the Beyond burger example; you imply emulsifiers are no good. Is sunflower lecithin problematic? Methylcellulose is kind of another one here, but it's literally insoluble fiber, something you imply is problematic for a food to be missing. The only ingredients that might be present as preservatives I can see are salt and vinegar/lemon juice. Are they problematic in the amounts used? Is beet juice a problematic colourant?

Now, if we were talking the emulsifiers being PGEs, sodium benzoate as a preservative and red #40 for colour, then maybe there would be a better case for not eating Beyond burgers. Or maybe canola oil simply isn't what you consider to be healthy. Point is, the problem is what specifically is present or missing. Not whether it fits into some ill-defined notion of processed.

Reminds me of when I interviewed for an internship at Fidessa in London back in 2011-ish. I remember the team lead talking about an in-house programming language they used called FidessaC which used a mixture of C and SQL syntax.

> People like you who think gun rights supercede everything else. It's ludicrous. Almost nobody needs a gun.

Generally speaking, this is a poor way to convince someone. Comments like this are likely to embolden the parent's views. I say this as someone who holds neutral views on the matter.

Consider for a moment you have actually proved his point.

> User-driven IT development is interesting but must work together with legislation and responsibility for secure personal data [sic]

To legislators, everything is a legislative problem to be solved with legislation. Government must be democratic, but boy it would be so helpful if those in office knew enough about technology to be a little more humble.
I have always opened up shit with the understanding that my warranty is then gone.

Imo, it's a minor issue compared to them making the thing unopenable, using clips/safety bolts that break, siliconing all the electronics, etc.
How much would it cost in total parts/labor to find someone to buy and restore a 1978-1995 F-150 with new paint job and replacement of rusty parts, and then add this motor and a ridiculous amount of batteries? I'd sign up tomorrow if the opportunity fell out of the sky.

Also is the intention here to just leave it in 3rd gear while running, like the Genovation GXE Electric Corvette mod?
> I can leave him to handle his own schoolwork

It turns out that kids are not adults. Part of raising them is teaching them life skills such as time management is something that takes a of time and management. You may be lucky and have a child that manages time well, or you may have a contrarian that does what they want. Part of being that manager, is knowing exactly what you are managing and having readily available data is part of that.
Exercise has anti aging effects because the body generates more anti-oxidants in response to increased oxygen intake.

Can you please come and do the same in Austria, this boomer-mentality country that's all about everyone owing cars and driving and parking everywhere, where cycling is seen as a sport or means of transportation for poor people who can't afford a house in the suburbs?
You don't have to be an asshole to accumulate fake "interested" friends. You don't even have to be rich - these people are just looking for ways to abuse one's sincerity, it doesn't have to be for money - they could get free work out of you, or they could unload their problems on you. I reckon the problem is a bit more prominent for the rich simply because society currently values money above anything else, so a rich target will take precedence over a poor target.
Is it really much different in practice? Like when lets say using try catch? This may enforce error handling, which in some languages cause panics and shuts down the program entirely.
May be its unconventional, but what’s the point of another clone language. Each language has its use case and foot guns.

No. When Ford says that they will build and sell something, they build and sell it. The pickup featured in the fine article is a concept vehicle, but the motors are production crate motors.

The linked article has a lot of stuff about how the Putnam study misinterprets its data.
I can sympathize. I had a seed fall into my eye while out on a walk and it wouldn't come out. Had to to to the ophthalmologist. She did local drops and took it out with forceps. It was uncomfortable and scary but she did a great job at calming me down and doing it quickly. I do think eye doctors have this kind of thing down and folks needn't worry anymore.
Open Source as a Matching Market
> Few people will drop "new Mitsubishi Mirage" money re-powering an '03 Civic.

as you hint at re. legislation this is heavily dependant on how any transition is structured - a heavy-handed transition would put alot of upward market pressure on new EV's and downward pressure on old ICV's that could create a market niche for conversions - they might not spend "new Mitsubishi Mirage" money on a civic, but they might opt to save 5-10k vs new/slightly used EV for a '15 converted mercedes ...
A delivery person will probably not do a roundtrip between the store and your house, just for your groceries. They'll have an optimized route for doing a dozen deliveries at once, and amortize the ecological / social cost across all of them.

It's a bit like a bus vs. a car. They're not equal, even if they both drive on the same roads.
Yes, I worked in corporation before, for 10 years. Biggest was Siemens. And it's just me, no other developer, though sometime clients are programmers too.
I never indicated that the definition couldn't include open implementations, just that the definition wasn't limited to ONLY openness. There are plenty of examples of this behavior not even exclusive to Microsoft. Proprietary products can build on an open protocol and attempt to change it, sometimes for the worse.

I didn't bring Skype into this, so I'm not going to comment on it as an example.
>That's absolutely micromanaging and negative

Not really. Schooling is largely targeted towards the great masses in the middle of the Bell curve. These kids will need help, prodding, and other forms of encouragement in order to keep their basic schoolwork up.

There are a smaller number of kids on the left and right tails that will, for the former, never make any effort; and for the latter, will require nothing other than support. That's just the way things are, I didn't make it that way, and there is nearly nothing that can be done to change it, and recognizing that fact will do more for most children than trying to pretend it doesn't exist.

The mass of kids who need the aid of their parents are helped when the parents can follow along. I have to use a system similar to the broken Swedish one for my kids. It's a mishmash of various systems, and sometimes teachers just give up and use something else, or use a less appropriate method (like a shared Google doc or similar). Keeping up with simple things like "when is the next math test" is a real chore.

While it would be great to be able to instill "initiative" into the souls of kids, it's unlikely to work. Unless you happen to know of a magick elixir that can do so, in which case there are a crapload of adults who could use a dose of this wizardry.

It helps to not romanticize children. Kids are dumb. Even the smart ones. They have little life experience, and their brains are still wired in such a way that they struggle to see consequences. Most of schooling is just a grind to slowly teach them enough basics that they can operate relatively efficiently. Left to their own devices, they will play games, eat candy, and believe that they will make a living as a Twitch streamer or something equally ridiculous.
Exercise is big but limited time oxidative stressor. Body's response to it generates benefits.

Antioxidants, like taking vitamin C supplements with exercise are shown to reduce some benefits of exercise.
There are plenty of games that actually use CPU: Microsoft Flight Simulator, Factorio, Stellaris, Total War, pretty much any city simulator game, etc. Sure, your average dumb AAA action game won't, but that doesn't mean a good CPU is worthless.
I think I'm well versed in statistics, but I don't understand the problem. Why not test everybody, and then adjust the threshold of intervention to reduce overall mortality? (Or maximize quality of life * years, or some other metric taking patient well-being into account.)

No doubt. But how does the learning process for this work and what does it look like?
How old are you, if I may ask?

I'm very nearsighted (I can't see distant objects clearly without glasses), and I know people's ability to see close objects or read diminishes with age. My plan has been to remain nearsighted in hopes I can always read without glasses. Many people have their far sight improve as they approach 40 or 50.
You are right :) I'm planning on adding a lot more features in the future though, like the ones you said.

I'm working on it in my spare time, so things are going slow.
Yes! I recall all of these kinds of things being available and used when I was a child well before cell phones existed. Photocopied calendars. Sheets of paper a reticent child would carry around to their teachers for weekly reports. Report cards. Teachers calling parents when more attention was needed.
Pretty sure voiding warranty for opening isn’t legal.
So now that it turns out their peer review process doesn’t work at all, they’ll just introduce some AI to check if the articles are completely nonsensical and find out who sent in these and punish them.

So, just shoot the messenger.
When I was a child I used to sometimes touch my eyeball with the tip of a pencil. Everyone I've told this to is very freaked out by it. For me it was a test of my own self control. Could I keep my eye open? Could I be steady enough to not stab my eye? You can't really see the pencil approaching in any detail. It's really out of focus. The eyeball itself doesn't really feel much. The key is not hitting your eyelashes because those are super sensitive and will cause you to blink and withdraw immediately.

I think the touching the eyeball with a cotton swab thing would work. It's not that scary once you've done it a few times. But the thought of an injection does still scare me a bit.
You're free to ignore such warnings.

And in many cases the warnings are there because the law comes down hard on manufacturers that enable bypassing the (mandatory) governor systems which limit the speed (and sometimes the torque) at which the vehicles can operate.
This is a double edged sword.

Because on one hand, you do pick up hotfix patches, but on the other hand, you are possibly bit more exposed to supply chain attacks.

Any ideas on how to balance that out? Or should we just not consider supply chain attacks to be a real threat?

Because there's a high enough percent of good content, comments are often helpful, and it's lightweight.

I don't define a goal before I open a news site, so not applicable.

The recent addition of next/prev buttons is nice, though keeping relative position on the screen would be nicer (so I'll continue to use collapse, another fairly recent feature). One big omission from the featureset is easily seeing what's new, either in replies to your comments or (to a lesser extent) in threads, though some argue it's for the better that you have to seek out replies actively so idk.

Which, hilariously, is very much in the realm of a "normal" engine conversion project. There probably aren't many Vanagon owners on HN but the hacker mentality very much applies. The two most popular gas conversions quote out in the 12k-18k range. It's not apples-to-apples with what it would take to integrate this crate motor, but it's not orders of magnitude off.
