Yeah this article is complete bullshit written for clicks, like most other modern journalism. I have an $83,000 Audi e-tron. The app to unlock and lock the car, as well as remote start has not worked since they did a “back end upgrade” in July and Audi engineers can not figure out how to fix it.

There are no articles written about how “Audi users locked out of cars since July” since that doesn’t pass the sniff test but when you bring up Tesla all logic goes out the window.
I've heard Svelte being promoted for SVG animations before too, but I haven't understood why. Is there some benefit Svelte specifically has here opposed to React/Vue/etc?

I understand exactly how easy it is to game standardized tests.

However, I find that I do not know how easy it is to game grades. Perhaps that is equally easy, or significantly easier. For example, can one "game" high school grades by moving to a different neighborhood with a "better" school?
Depends what the interest rate is. In my 25 adult years of living in the US, I have seen no “buy now, pay later” scheme for small purchases with no collateral that results in the costs for the financing being less than the gains from investing.

The only one that works is the 2%+ credit card rewards, and that is because people who are not paying with credit cards that earn rewards subsidize those who do because merchants do not offer a lower price for the non rewards payment methods.
I'm going to sound like a negative nancey, but I wish podcasters/youtubers would just practice their speaking skills instead of rely on series of really quick jump cuts. Worst offenders are those that can't get through a sentence without splicing it 2+ times...

Perhaps you could have a mode to detect how much one stutters, and parts worth redoing without spending as much time combing the whole thing.
A nation is about a shared identity that binds people together, not necessarily ruled by a single government. For example, the Kurdish nation is spread across several states, so not ruled by a single government but a nation nonetheless. Whereas states can encompass various nations. In short, the Russian nation is different from the Russian state, and calling the Russian state a nation-state can be misleading.
If you use Edge, I suppose you already paid for Windows, didn't you?

Will similar "features" appear also in Notepad, Calculator, Character Map, etc.? Because, technically, you didn't pay for them either, they are just free application that got installed with Windows.

Okay, maybe it is not as bad as I make it sound. Perhaps it would be nice if anytime you display a unicode character in Character Map, it offered you an option to buy a t-shirt with this character printed...

I tried to use Descript for my podcast, but it has some issues.

1) It doesn't work well if you have a strong accent. As an non-native speaker, the transcription were quite bad, making the editing quite bad.

2) Cleanvoice works with multiple languages, descript doesn't.

3) Cleanvoice can remove stutters (not always, but it tries) and mouth sounds like lip smacking, teeth clicking. Descript can't.
This is not a big deal for most, but since I stutter alot this was essential.

My approach is different from Descript. They use a transcription service, and then they edit the audio based on the text. I work directly on the phonetics level. Allowing me to have more control over audio.

Depending on the needs, either one is better. I guess you should try it for yourself and compare.
I wouldn’t use this because it just seems like a hassle but how are 4 interest-free installments worse than paying upfront?

If grade inflation was already a pernicious problem, once any semblance of an objective test is removed, the pressure on HS teachers to grade everyone at A+++++++ will increase even further. We are stunting generations of kids by not offering them any feedback on the quality of their effort.

"Nearly half of American high school students – 47% in the class of 2016 – are graduating with grades ranging from A-plus to A-minus. According to the Department of Education, the average high school grade point average was 2.68 in 1990. By 2016, it had risen to 3.38, with the biggest inflation occurring in private independent schools."

At the college I went to the gay men were very sexually active, with each other, much more so than most hetero men who spent much more time in sexual pursuit than arrival. So I wonder if some small part of the difference might be that the straight men were more distracted by their unmet needs.

It’s not dependent. You have a physical keycard that lets you start and drive the car. The app also lets you start and drive the car with no internet over Bluetooth. The only thing not working here was the OTA remote administration of the car. The article is misleading.

It's a case of top-down thinking vs bottom-up thinking. Historians build from bedrock and are able to directly work out causation, whereas these Programmers with a hobby in studying other systems don't get the feedback at that level of nuance, but they get an intuition from building many different smaller systems and getting plenty of feedback from those. They take the learnings they got building software and apply it to other systems. This is important - as feedback drives learning - and software provides the most feedback ever, and thus I would argue that programmers are the best systems thinkers we've ever had.

The reality is we need both, as Silicon Valley might say, middle-out thinking. And I don't criticize the author or yourself for pushing their viewpoint, because the only way we move forward is bringing the Historians with the Systems thinkers. That's what this comment section is for. Better still, if we can find a Historian Hobbyist Systems thinker who can play both parts, like David Graeber did for the topics he was interested in. Although even he got criticized for basically your exact argument here.

So don't criticize the author for having a top-down viewpoint, give him concrete examples of his examples where he is wrong, point him in the direction of books you know that cover the things that he is talking about, he will appreciate it. He doesn't mean to be lazy, but it takes skill to know those things, and the skill he has acquired is elsewhere. This is the power of specialization.

Does law act like software, where a law written at the wrong abstraction level spirals out of control? What causes code and law to metastasize and be unable to refactor? Why was git, a source control system written in 2 weeks by Linus able to dominate the software space, when Microsoft had a team working for years on their source control system? What software are examples of systems that evolve over time? What software builds up so much spaghetti that it is best to throw it away? Joel Spolsky's argument is that answer is never, and refactoring is always preferable to starting fresh. Is that a good argument that laws should keep going forever? How do we know we found the law equivalent to git? There are many many more questions to ask, let's continue asking them.

As I noted in an adjacent comment, there is a $4 flat fee, and it is reasonable to assume the lender has expenses to pay, such as payroll and profit seeking investors, so there must be a cost to using their financing.

Regardless of what the marketing says, nothing is ever “free”. Typically, these types of small time lending operations for retail purchases with no collateral depend on people without impulse control control and poor cash flow management buying things they should not and then collecting a slow drip of money from some portion of them who will not be able to pay it off for a long time.

Not that I think it should be illegal, but it is generally considered to be a bottom feeder business, one that the esteemed people who work at Microsoft might be above. But apparently, they are not, and hence it is on Hacker News as a controversy.

> As has been shown plenty of times, “more eyes looking at the code” is a fallacy as those eyes are very much not looking to find security vulnerabilities.

There are also automated scans of a long list of FLOSS. Google runs OSS-Fuzz, you can check LibreOffice to see lots of commits to fix defects detected by OSS-Fuzz, coverity and other static analyzers. Access to the code, at the least allows determined users to more easily find where or why the bug happens. And yes, people do it.

> hypothetical hardware attack when you can just append to the end of .bashrc from a goddamn npm install and basically do anything you want, including streaming every single keypress?

Yes, this is more serious. But would need a compromise on packagers side and an uninformed (or automated) update on my side. Considering an update with such a vulnerability would affect initially a small fraction of users before being discovered, it is very unlikely that this hypothetical would have a big impact.

>Robinhood Crypto does not guarantee you the NBBO because the NBBO doesn't exist.

Yeah sorry, I was pattern matching on "robinhood frontrunning" and didn't take the fact we're talking about crypto trading into account. With that in mind, they're not front running you, they're just providing worse rates and making money off the spread. It's basically how the "no commission" currency exchange places you see at airports works. They sell EUR to you at 1.15 EUR/USD, but they buy EUR from you at 1.10 EUR/USD.
Sounds more like a country than a nation. Nations are more cultural which is why there can be a Navajo nation or a Kurd nation without there being a Kurdistan and the Navajos being part of the United States with limited autonomy. As is the case with anything in this sphere, the edges can be a bit fuzzy and not everyone agrees on the definition of nation.
For Americans that question why some other country has certain polinices or government that seem extremely crappy (say, Mexico crime struggle, Venezuela failed economic policy), healthcare is a good local example of a country's broken system which most citizens hate but that just cannot be reformed.

For a lot of these abuses, shit needs to hit the fan in some way like what happened in Egypt during the Arab risings. Otherwise it's a gradual decades process to move away from the status quo.

No, but the question was about Microsoft’s reputation. Whether I use the pay over time feature or not, Microsoft are hurting their reputation as a software maker and therefore their revenue from their paid products by signaling their willingness to insert irrelevant features into their software.
> Maybe other people are better at it

The reality is that every individual's ability to visualize exists somewhere on a spectrum between aphantasia (complete inability) and eideticism (photographic memory).

That bicycle experiment is fun, and it certainly shows that most people are very far from the eidetic end of the spectrum.

But it can also (better) be explained by the facts that:

- people generally don't pay very close attention to any particular object, they categorize things and move their attention elsewhere (mostly to higher levels - e.g. the whole environment level)

- most people don't have a whole lot of experience with bicycles and how they work at a detailed mechanical level (anybody that does can draw a bike fairly well, from a technical accuracy perspective)

Sounds like you might not know how to charge properly. I’ve discovered that a lot of Tesla owners don’t. Five hours, for how many miles of a trip?

Edit: Or maybe you did not buy the long range model, in which case you are forced to charge up into the top of the range, where charging is slowest. Yeah that’s bad.
One route is that insurers require due diligence from their clients & employ pen-testers, perhaps adjusting your rate based on the findings of the pen-testers...

What state do you mean? Let’s say you have a backup of your system partition but your home folder is separate. In that case a rollback with the filesystem is the same as one through nix — the latter will place symlinks to all the previous versions and the finished result is identical.

Of course if you have in the meanwhile used the new system and your home folder contains some backwards incompatible changes, both solutions will fail. Rolling back your home folder may not be a good thing as you may have backwards compatible changes you prefer.

Also, nix can also manage installed application’s configs, so those could also be rolled back, on either a per-app basis or however you prefer.

i think "phone size" is more about length than width. GRIP length is 138 mm which is the iphone SE size. the 13 mini is smaller.
That's exactly the idea! The government and companies generally have IT Dept's now, sometimes with a dev team.

Those resources can be geared towards supporting and contributing to open source (that they use internally) instead of giving money to these corporations for shit support and "maybe we'll add the feature you want (but probably not, and we're increasing the cost BTW ^^)"
Mostly right. Allow me to provide some wonky details.

Protobuf uses tag-type-values, i.e. each field is encoded with a tag specifying the field number and some basic type info before the value. The type info is only just enough information to be able to skip the field if you don't recognize it, e.g. it specifies "integer" vs. "byte blob". Some types (such as byte blob) also have a length, some (integer) do not. Nested messages are usually encoded as byte blobs with a length, but there's an alternate encoding where they have a start tag and an end tag instead ("start group" and "end group" are two of the basic types). On one hand, having a length for nested messages seems better because it means you can skip the message during deserialization if you aren't interested in it. On the other hand, it means that during serialization, you have to compute the length of the sub-message before actually serializing it, meaning the whole tree has to be traversed twice, which kind of sucks, especially when the message tree is larger than the L1/L2 cache. Ironically, most Protobuf decoders don't actually support skipping parsing of nested messages so the length that was so expensive to compute ends up being largely unused. Yet, most decoders only support length-delimited nested messages and therefore that's what everyone has to produce. Whoops.

Now on to Cap'n Proto. In a given Cap'n Proto "struct", there is a data section and a pointer section. Primitive types (integers, booleans, etc.) go into the data section. This is the part that looks like a C struct -- fields are identified solely by their offset from the start of the data section. Since new fields can be added over time, if you're reading old data, you may find the data section is too small. So, any fields that are out-of-bounds must be assumed to have default values. Fields that have complex variable-width types, like strings or nested structs, go into the pointer section. Each pointer is 64 bits, but does not work like a native pointer. Half of the pointer specifies an _offset_ of the pointed-to object, relative to the location of the pointer. The other half contains... type information! The pointer encodes enough information for you to know the basic size and shape of the destination object -- just enough information to make a copy of it even if you don't know the schema. This turns out to be super-important in practice for proxy servers and such that need to pass messages through without necessarily knowing the details of the application schema.

In short, both formats actually contain type information on the wire! But, not a full schema -- only the minimal information needed to deal with version skew and make copying possible without data loss.
The missing color gamut that you can see but most displays can’t render is mostly in the green. A super wide color gamut could replicate what you see when you get hit by a green laser pointer but can’t make that big of a difference for colors you might actually want to look at.

(E.g. Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 thinks that pure green is so offensive it always mixes in some red and blue which hurts image quality because of quantization errors and misalignments.)
