> I'm not going to switch though because for the most part it's "good enough" and I want to see that hockey stick trend continue.

I’m in the same boat. I am also not going to switch because Google is getting consistently worse and filled with rubbish SEO click farms. That’s why I am surprised by

Google is really quite bad.
Consider that Tesla has been consistently raising prices due to parts and demand, the best time was probably yesterday.
I interviewed for a position in a bank central. Everybody with shirt and tie, but the bad thing is that it was an open plan with more than a hundred screaming programmers. Why was everybody so loud I can't understand.

The idiot that I had the displeasure to talk to was proud of the hellish environment, hero culture and seemed to think that they had some kind of bleeding edge tech there. I needed just a couple of questions to realize that it was crap.

The recruiter had driven me there. He asked if I thought I passed. "I surely hope I didn't!!"
Tesla can't keep parts in stock because they're desperate to prioritize production over parts inventory, not because they have too many parts.

This will be a nightmare. A damaged fender now means instead of a fender-sized package that easily fits in a truck with lots of other things, you now have a massive half-a-car sized package.

This also doesn't bode well for parts availability in the future. I can't see Tesla switching these massive presses back to producing older designs of panels.
I just read there are indirect consequences. The employers and regional governments are financially penalized if their employees or citizens are too fat. Is that true?
Oops, my bad, I wanted to link to that. I cannot edit it now (maybe someone reading this can?)
That's a tough nut to solve, because by time you find out if quarantine was necessary or not, it's too late. So do we err towards spreading less, or err towards teaching more. It seems difficult to have both.

(Well, we could - replace whiteboards with screens, have the students onsite but the teachers remote. Not sure this is entirely practical?)
> I said that multiple cursors are a gimmick which is less efficient

My Dear Dude, you are surely aware that computer editors are Religion among programmers, that vi vs. emacs, tabs vs. spaces, etc., have been fiercely debated for decades and will continue to be fiercely debated for decades to come. Thus, like all matters of politics and religion, if you are going to insult the Editor Religion of your fellow programmer and call it a gimmick, you might do well to at least accept the challenge when foul is cried and the gauntlet is thrown down demanding a scorable, quantifiable, objective, numerical measure of your performance claim that settles the question as fact rather than opinion.

But you would do better still to refrain from insults like 'gimmick', especially when the programmer whose favored multi-cursor feature you are insulting has demonstrated a deep interest in the history of computer editors, naming out ed/vi/vim/emacs/Sam/Acme/VSCodium, etc., and fully understands how to do ':%s/foo/bar/gc' in vim and the more powerful things documented by ':h :s' within vim and the even more powerful things yet in Acme involving the 'x' and 'X' commands but despite all this has found that multi-cursor can usually finish the edit before even half of that ':s///' command can be typed or a suitable regular expression mentally devised that gobbles the correct substrings on the correct lines without accidentally gobbling incorrect substrings on incorrect lines or incorrect substrings on correct lines or correct substrings on incorrect lines.
It's actually worse than that. They haven't been catching their outgoing spam, either -- I receive tons of spam from fake Gmail accounts these days. So glad that we've all spent billions of hours clicking on buses and traffic lights to convince Google we're humans, when it clearly does nothing to stop botting.
I’ve heard good things about Super Memo but it’s Anki for me. It’s simple, reliable, and gets the job done.
That's what eventual consistency is, isn't it? It's definitely not the easiest thing to design systems around, but at a big enough scale you sometimes don't have a choice.

There's also many ways to "work around it", so that it doesn't seem inconsistent to the user.

I'm definitely not arguing that it's how most systems should be designed though.
I tend to agree. I want to be able to use the same account on two phones. I'm not the only one. Yes, there are workarounds, but ffs, come on already.
Ask HN: Help test the first smart chair for standing desks.(Bay Area/NYC/Boston)
Hi HN,

I started Movably to take a crack at solving the whole "sitting is the new smoking", "the best posture is your next posture", and “you can't just exercise away the effects of sitting” problem.

The trick is to have enough movement to protect health and prevent issues, all without disrupting work flow.

We have come up with a smart interactive chair for your standing desk—the first of its kind. It lets you move easily, as often as every few minutes, between a set of postures over the course of a day. It works with you at standing height so it isn’t as disturbing as raising/lowering a sit-stand desk or walking on a treadmill. Because your center of gravity maintains its relationship to the work surface it becomes almost automatic really quickly. And with our chair normal sitting is just a posture too, you can sit when you need to (but not all the time!). This will give you an idea of how it works: https://youtu.be/dC__YxuEGBU

We have had good results with initial trials so far with a number of people saying this has reduced and even eliminated their back pain, soreness, etc. All without disrupting their productivity. In fact, some even reported that it enhanced productivity.

We would like to learn more about what types of usage/posture patterns work best for a broader group of users and different kinds of deskwork: coding, video editing, writing, gaming, etc. We'd love to find some current standing desk users interested in testing one of our chair prototypes for up to a week or two and give us feedback. We have chairs circulating in the Bay area, NYC, and Boston. If interested let us know here:

https://movably.typeform.com/to/Nyo8603J

And am happy to answer any questions!

Thank you,
Mark
Good luck getting mainstream acceptance for something that sounds like a furry dating site.
Little snitch like firewalls are nice yet I think they can give a false sense of false security since it takes too much mental effort, discipline and is simply annoying to approve each rule.
It's true that we don't know whether US$ inflation this year will be 1% or 12%, but that's not actually better than a predictable 6% per year inflation rate. It's worse. A predictable inflation rate could be priced into things like bond yields.

Use as a store of value is a significant part of what we're talking about here. You said, "Argentinians who want to avoid their own currency would be 10x better served by USD than BTC." Why do you think Argentines want to avoid our own currency? Part of it is that it's useless for export; nobody abroad has AR$.

But the main reason is that designed-in secular inflation makes it a shitty store of value. This was specifically mentioned in the comment you were replying to: "Not only that, you also are forbid from buying dollars, so if you want to get them to avoid our rampant inflation (50% average, around 100% for groceries) you only have the black market which is around 200 pesos." Bitcoin has its own problems, like volatility, but it doesn't have that one.

Why would you claim that people wanting to "avoid rampant inflation" would be "10x better served by USD than BTC"? We can now discard the hypothesis that you don't know about the secular inflation of the US$, since you explained it yourself in your own words in the comment I am replying to. It seems like you were being, at best, careless with the truth.
I like the concept -- but in my family the women live for a really long time. My great grandmother was 99 when I met her as a six year old. Most of my family (both genders) goes well into their 90s.

It would be much more accurate if the clock started when one of your parents or grand parents died and or could use that information to create a more accurate final day.
Exactly right. Essentially the consumerist, "fast food for the brain" idea is what I was struggling to point out. Having read a little of this thread though, I'm more open to the idea that even what seems to me as fluff is pretty useful as a regular centering mechanism so I'm just moderately indifferent instead of annoyed now.
This ‘two-siding’ approach is exactly what the media does and normalizes radical actions as a ruse for freedom. But there is no equivalent, one side is on the side of public health, the other is promoting practices that put people in danger under the disguise of freedoms. History will not treat those who forgo science kindly. To claim we are to stop hating implies the left must forgo science to appease the radical right. That is a false choice. Japan is able to do this because their people are considerate, mask wearing, public health followers… they don’t question science, or paint public health mandates as political theater. There is no scientific consensus that backs the anti masking, anti vax approach. The political theater created by the right is just plain stupidity and has no basis or consideration for the public health. Bending our policies to appease an approach that endangers all is not American. What’s next? Unban dangerous pesticides or start putting lead in our water because of a stupid political view? GTFAH
If someone says "far left" or "far right" in America I usually interpret them talking about political culture rather than policy.
Their numbers seem kinda low looking at levels.fyi
> I agree that criminalization of leaving home for the unvaccinated gets more appealing by the day.

Don’t recall anyone in the thread suggesting criminalization (except you), so it’s pretty strange that you brought it up. Perhaps that is appealing to you, but it sure isn’t appealing to me. In fact it is so abhorrent an idea to me that I am pretty much open to anything that would prevent such totalitarianism from happening in my community.

And just for context, I’m vaccinated and boosted, so this is not some anti-vax position. I am just dead set against anything specifically designed to create class prejudices and creating a new group of “untouchables”. This is 2022, we should be way beyond such foolishness.

Did you mean to say helium? The Earth is 75% covered with hydrogen-rich raw material, so I’d expect it to be plentiful, with the mines for it needing energy, but otherwise be straightforward.
Can someone explain to me why people are writing complex systems in Bash? It seems to be somewhat of a joke/meme, but I am having a hard time understanding why someone would put so much effort into a joke. Another recent example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29648135
How would this not be gamed by bots? I see how what you're suggesting would work if there were humans going through and moderating, but I can imagine they would be deluged with millions of reports. Doing it algorithmically is just giving the bad actors a mechanism to sink their competitor's results.
I'm not the person you asked, but my experience seems mostly tied to the lack of depth on the indexer they (use/inherit from bing). GitHub issues are #1 on that list, mailing lists and other esoteric backwaters of the Internet are another.

Been using DDG for years and as time goes on I use !g less and less. I use it so rarely now that I'll probably forget it exists as an option. Love using !w, very convenient.
They ban you for not being in the same ideology as them, so you can't really contest their words.

It's called "studying", which implies a form of "spaced repetition", but makes notions meaningful and "alive" by making them integrated in your "body of knowledge". To do differently - to just keep notions in a mental closet -, would be like memorizing a book: you have not read it. "Reading" - digesting information - and "memorizing" are not the same.

To "study" you will have to use some sort of (often natural, implicit, unplanned) spaced repetition. But you will also process the information with an eye to make it productive (as opposed to "just stored").
If you're ever in Bonn, I very strongly recommend the Arithmeum, a museum full of devices built for computation: abaci, clocks, mechanical calculators, vacuum tube devices, modern machines.

And that goes for Windows, too. Only ever log into your physical, self contained, machine using a normal user account stored on that machine.
This isn’t how bodies or sleep work in the general case.

What kind of waves would that be? You'd need something to resonate with specific neurons in any case.
I mean, I've had this happen a few times (I drive a manual, looking ahead and coasting/timing to avoid full stops means I'm light on the brakes.)

But every time, it's exhibited as a 'pulsing' feel on the brakes that is alarming before it is dangerous. I suppose to the untrained it could be confused for ABS kicking in but to me it's a very distinct feeling.
I guess some use it for AI and machine learning, but those fields are outside my interests. You can do anything in Lisp which could be done in languages like C, C++, Java, Python, etc.

OK thanks. Does it (despite the name) take place in a conventional class room? Just wanted to check that the implications wasn't that it was particularly bad for covid transmission, like a big crowded gymnasium or something.

>The Dakar has a similar long history of expensive tech being stolen, held to ransom etc.

It's not a « long history », it's a one time event, and one that very likely has nothing to do with the locals. The whole story around it is incredibly fishy, and a rally car isn't something you can just steal. It doesn't start or drive like a normal car, there's no key.
There is, and it doesn't have to be the default, just easy enough to go "no thanks". Which thankfully it still is. For win11 you just click "sign in options" when prompted how to log in during install, and pick "offline account". Done. For win10, you click "continue with limited setup" during the account step. Of course, this does assume you're installing pro, because no one in their right mind should ever install the home version of windows by choice.

Once in a while I try to switch to Duckduckgo. I first use it, then I start to rely more and more on !g, as I know the results will be irrelevant, until I just have the automatism of adding !g for every search. At that point, when I become aware of it, I just switch back to Google, unfortunately.

In the end, Bing is really, really bad and Duckduckgo is just repackaged Bing.
You just have classic FOMO and with Teslas, you have to override your monkey brain to stop wanting the latest and greatest. When I was younger in my 20s, my brain compelled me to buy the newest Android. I loved having the new tech and I always thought I could sell my old phones before they became obsolete.

Teslas feel very similar to that high you get from having the latest phone. I own a 2017 model S and it seems every 6 months my car becomes more legacy.

First it was all the packages (Cold weather, premium upgrades, etc) becoming standard when you had to pay for the packages.

Then it was HW 3.0 & MCU 2 for advanced screen graphics and playing Netflix. Also capability for Full Self driving.

Then it was the raven air suspension.

Then it was model 3 and model Ys getting external pedestrian speakers that could play music.

Then it was a heat pump.

Then it was being to roll your windows up and down through the phone app.

Then it was faster super charging.

Then it was new, fun video games.

Then it was a rectangular screen that can play witcher and tilt (eventually)

Then it was more battery range.

...and so on.

That's all I could list off my memory but I bet you I missed 50% of the updates. The moment you buy a Tesla, it'll be out of date in a couple of months. It is what it is.
You're focusing on money, like the article. Yes, they sell well. Neither have revolutionized their markets or shown any sign that they will. The iPhone wasn't just a premium smartphone. It was such an obvious improvement on what came before that all the previous market leaders tried to copy it. Samsung settled a lawsuit over it.

There were already premium earbuds and smartwatches. Apple's earbuds fall out, run out of power too quickly, and lose connection constantly just like the rest. Apple under Jobs followed the market by taking the little bits each competitor got right to put it in one device. AirPods and the iWatch are fine. They're just not any better than what came before.

I would instantly jump ship to Samsung if they promised 5 (or more) years of updates post-launch for all phones and tablets. Right now, that's all Apple has.
They will be designing the cars with buffers, but if a crash can go through all of that AND damages the single casting chassis, which are a lot stronger, then you should thankful because you'll likely have gotten way more injured with a traditional chassis.
At least in the case of Postgres, I know from reading the source before that it stores UUIDs as 128-bit values and does optimized binary comparator operations on those values. It can export and import UUIDs as text strings but does not treat them as text internally. I'm not sure why any competently engineered database engine would do otherwise.
The parent comment already addressed this.

Shapes of constant width (e.g. £1 coin) won’t fall into the hole either. Neither would an equilateral triangle.

I think Google and recently DDG think they’re doing me a favour by ignoring my quote marks. They’re not! If they think they only have poor results with quote marks then show me them and tell me that. If they don’t have any results with my quote marks then tell me that. Don’t be embarrassed.

It’s like asking someone in the street for directions and they’re embarrassed they don’t know the way so point you in a random direction. Not helpful!
I don't think so. I think it will mean more write offs. These castings replace current pressed panels, so anything in that area will now mean a new body shell -which realistically will mean a written off vehicle - where repairs would currently be an option.

I think this is manufacturing optimisation at the cost of overall life optimisation, like the epoxy-encased batteries which are less recyclable than the previous generation.

Some advice I gleaned from another HN post: you rarely [1] regret going for a run.

[1] Unless you're injured and stubbornly push your body through it.
This is a popular thing to say but is too superficial, we obviously have interfaces that operate mechanical arms and other things with a computer interface interpreting signals from the brain and other nerves. We actually know quite a bit about what kind of signals get sent from some parts of our bodies to other parts and these patterns hold within the brain as well. It just gets microscopic and -very- complicated. Check out these books:

Now think how something that puts directly information in your brain, without any critical analysis from the one that receives it. Or just plain old advertising or marketing.

There will be market forces to put there more than just the intended knowledge you want. And probably it won't be so easy to debug or clean as with plain text.
