That looks like, aside from the few Tesla results, exactly one model of Chevy was affected, and they decided to recall them. A missing brake pad is pretty damn obvious, and I'm almost willing to bet that, unlike Tesla, they didn't ignore or make excuses to the people who complained about the strange sound. This "assume the user is completely stupid and we're always right" mentality seems to entirely come from the tech industry.
> Mac is the only thing where alt-tab falls on its face. Even if you remind yourself that you're on Mac and use cmd-tab...

But alt on a Windows keyboard layout and and command on a Mac keyboard layout are the same key location, so I don't understand how you can be confused by this... maybe stop looking at the keyboard?
Make your desired windows fullscreen, then swipe side to side on the trackpad (3 or 4 fingers) to switch between them almost instantly. One of the best features of MacOS, IMO.
Dude, I've been telling this guy this for weeks and he's finally gotten it. (It's one of several experiences I've had on HN this week of actually getting recognition from people which never seems to happen on online forums!)

He doesn't need to get any grief over this, he needs our help moving forwards.
"drinking with others tends to spark joy and even euphoria, while drinking alone elicits neither—if anything, solo drinkers get more depressed as they drink."

I wonder how much of this is "set and setting", something that is well known with other drugs. Maybe people tend toward depression when they drink alone because that's what they expect to happen?

I struggled with Mac on my M1 Air for about six months then donated it to my partner and returned to Fedora on an XPS 13. Muscle memory was bad enough but the feeling of being watched was worse.
Tracing the defunct lines is fascinating to me. They are _everywhere_ in the US.
I think being a loner is generally seen as unusual though isn't it?

I enjoy drinking alone, exercising alone, traveling alone, sitting alone, working alone. I don't really think I'm that weird by objective standards, there are also things I like doing with people (I'm married and have a family), but as a sometimes introvert, I definitely value time alone, including relaxing with a beer.

Related, when I went to university, I lived in residence and i remember sitting by myself at meals and having people come and basically think they were doing me a favor talking to me, because only a loser would want to sit by himself. I found it both annoying (because I wanted to be alone) and condescending (because people see you alone and come talk to you like you must have no friends) - all that to say, society seems to look at you funny if you enjoy being by yourself, so I wouldn't read too much into sllo drinking being shunned specifically.
The OP here chose to use a title with an astounding monetary figure in it. I was baited. I would not have read the article if it had the original title. Strict adherence to the guidelines would have saved me here.

Regarding your post, I am curious if "Google" was removed by yourself(and later changed your mind) or the moderators?
Fair enough, they might be building them from large chunks of stock. Still, that would be a monumentally stupid move, you could easily forget something even more crucial like that, for instance a circlip on the steering housing. That would be a real surprise, better hope you have paid for self driving if that ever happens ;)
Yeah that's true - morrowind has game breaking items like boots of blinding speed, where you need to abuse the games mechanics to make them actually useful. Same with the jumping scroll you find early on - if you just use it, you're gonna die from fall damage.

Most comments explaining "defund the police" are from people who disapprove of it. The above is exactly how I've always heard it described. If they wanted to abolish the police, they could have just said "abolish the police."

That is incorrect, there isn't a single state in the United States where the highest paid state employee is the governor. They are mostly coaches at state universities, and where they aren't they are upper tier member's of the state university system.

BTW, I'm not a TeXmacs developer... I'm just a fan.
By default GNOME has the same distinction between apps and windows and works with the backtick, too. I find it comfortable enough once you get used to it. You can do 2 different things with almost the same command (in terms of fingers position). It's only manageable with a US keyboard layout though, I give you that.
>You were just linked to a google search full of press reports about a missing brake pad recall

I disagree with GP that the press is harsh on Tesla.

However mainstream media write about everything but most of it has been deeply buried on their websites and will only be read by a few thousand people.

The actual narratives the media is pushing are the stories you find on their frontpages and being pushed on their social media accounts. These are the stories that will be read by millions of people.
I would read it the other way in that Gen X seems to have an outsized preference for Samsung. Boomers seem to use them equally.
some pointers: just invite to connect at least current colleagues, just to get ball rolling.

also: even if you don’t have much to add, describe in more detail what you have already done in that pisition, so recruiters/hiring managers will have better understanding where you are currently.

also also: linkedin profile has section “skills” where you select what you do. don’t skip that section, it is used in filters while searching potential candidates.

at your stage it would be massively helpful to have some kind of certifications if relevant (just as an example: symfony developer certificate, if you do PHP development), and so on.

and don’t get upset about those massive salaries mentioned on HN- the reason they are mentioned IS because those are big salaries. take a look at avg salaries in industry of your location and you will see real situation.
not quite, the most important part of my todo list checking is manually moving items to the current days' list. This action is easily done in tick tick by drag and drop, but I feel like I have to do it manually, to create a memory impression strong enough that I remember the task as something important. The whole todo list 'system' is just an artefact of repeated actions that have a higher chance to create helpful memory paths.
Elon has personal experience with this person, and when two private companies do business with each other, they get to ask certain things of each other, and shape the team providing them service. It's a totally voluntary thing. In this case the company refused, and lost business.

As for corruption, I think it comes down to whether this decision helps or hinders Tesla. Many view the crossover of private and public individuals as good because they bring expertise. Others view it as straight up corruption.

So is Elon creating the corruption, or fighting the corruption with this move? Maybe he thinks his lawyers were getting to friendly with the government agencies and had a perverse incentive to just collect money from Tesla without pushing the envelope.
Leaky abstraction in a nutshell!

Really fun little tidbit, loved it.
I used the intercooler, which is the predecessor to htmlx and really liked it. I plan to use htmlx on my next web development project.

I recently took a look at Hotwire and Unpoly just to make sure I wasn’t missing out on something better. I found htmlx simple and intuitive.

The Newspeak programming language was specifically designed to address some of these issues. It is capable of working with plain-text files, enabling code to be stored in Git and so on.

Use NoMachine. It's by far the *best* experience I've had and I love it. Sure, it's not free software, if that's your thing, but like, it's _really_ good (really good latency and quality). Works on Windows, Linux, and Mac hosts, and clients for all three as well.

Truly a wonderful piece of software.
Is it a emacs clone or a TeX ide?

There are already excellent TeX modes available for Emacs without using a standalone application.

Despite being a Emacs and TeX user, I must admit that I have no clear idea of what this strangely named thing is.

And since it sounds like it implements parts of both, probably poorly if the bizarre naming is any indication of other development decisions, I have no inclination to explore it.
Yeah I’ve heard stories like this, but how do you actually go about learning how to develop low latency systems.

I mean I can read about stuff all damn day, but I’m not sure how the average person goes from “knows a bit about controlling latency” to “has demonstrable ability to create low latency systems”.
The article jumps a bit fast from “drinking” and “getting drunk”, when there’s a line there that some of us try to not cross, social situations included.

Otherwise yes, drinking alone, just like eating alone can be wildly enjoyable.

I’d also warmly recommend to people who can do it to get mildly drunk once in a while (every year or two?). Do it with a trusting partner who stays clear, and check where’s the line and how it feels when you come close and then past it.
They’re also only for the position that is being proposed to be filled. The way companies write those LCAs is nuts. I’ve seen LCAs that don’t match the technology in use, or that paid tens of thousands more or less than I was making in ostensibly the same position.
I am completely dysfunctional without todo lists and a daily reflection and revisiting of priorities.

I will constantly find other things to do I would prefer to do in the moment, but will ultimately lead to important things being neglected for days or years.
Knuth’s advice is especially good. If there is something in my todo list that I hate, it’s probably because (a) it’s hard, (b) it will take some time to do, and (c) it’s very important (or else it wouldn’t be there). Mustering the courage to do them early rather than late is an almost certain recipe for satisfaction and a good, relaxing weekend.
One other thing about todo lists that I like is fitting things into the available time frame. I often open my todo list and think “ok, I have 30 minutes, what can I tick off”. It’s quite good for my mental health (when I actually do it).

There is no compelling evidence to suggest that this is the case, at least down the scales we have been able to zoom into.
A night alone on shrooms sounds like it could go so wrong though.
No one shuns reading alone, listening to music alone, or watching a movie alone.

Drinking alone is more dangerous than drinking with friends.
It's neither. It's more like Microsoft Word but with high quality output for scientific/math documents.
The idea that you should only drink socially always seemed odd to me, as though the purpose of alcohol should be easier social interactions (when at times it actually causes problems), and as though enjoying the drink because of its taste & characteristics should only be some distant secondary concern.

But nearly everything in this article came across as a fairly odd way of rationalizing what might be "problem drinking" if not outright alcoholism.

I'm sure personal experiences will vary quite a bit here, but I've never found and greater truth about self identity there. I have found that sometimes it seems to assist in creative thoughts, ideas, etc, but certainly not rational thought that I think would standup in the post-hangover light of day.

About the most insightful thing I've found out about myself when drinking is "That was good whisky, but the last one was too much. Let's go drink a bunch of water, some preemptive ibuprofen, and get the coffee set to make a quick cup in the morning." It's not a vision quest.

IMO I’ve seen too many CS programs and CS grads that just seem poor quality and I think it’d probably a poor proxy for ability.

If you’re already established in the industry I don’t think the lack of a degree is a huge problem. I’ve heard of companies not letting people advance into middle management and such without a degree, but I can’t imagine you’d want to work for such a place anyway.

This seems like one of those things where a tech guy thinks he can just come in and "disrupt things" and mistakes are made because they never bothered to look at what the incumbents were doing and why.

The thing you are missing is also the frequency of mistakes, consistency in the vehicles in general, how well they manage the problem to fix it, and the number of defects relative to vehicles on the road. This entire article sounds like Google or Amazon level Don't-Give-A-Shit about the customer applied to cars. And some of their mistakes are mind boggling:

No Snaps or RPMs or .tar.gz archives or ebuilds or instructions for compiling from source either.
That URL is susceptible to being intercepted in transit, though, such as in an email. And validating the request via a redirect on my own server invalidates 2/3 of the reasons for using an external file host.
I use ClickUp as an overarching todo list combined with various automations based on email which I can trigger by applying specific labels or which are automatically triggered by filters and picked up by integromat.

This then either delegates tasks to my assistant or team;
triggers onward automations to carry out important but repetitive tasks; or adds them to my own list - the latter often being “thing about this” rather than “do this”. I’ve also setup Otter to save things to my Dropbox so that I can dictate things into my todo list.

For example the tag “investigate” can be triggered with a keystroke on my email and copies the email into a particular list and assigns it to my assistant. When the task is “accepted” that applies a template that then sets a due date and pushes it into our weekly one on one agenda. “Action required” pushes it into my task list and sets a high priority flag.

Emails with attachments that hit a particular filter (e.g. regularly occurring reports that I receive by email) are labelled, the attachment is extracted and saved to a folder in Google drive where it is picked up and emailed to a kindle I use specifically for reading work documents, and a ClickUp task is created that prompts me to read it within X days then and write myself a brief summary as an aide memoire, but which is also available to my team where necessary so that the key points I consider important are crystallised, either for further action or just to build the bigger picture.

I’ve gradually managed to slim the bulk of my work admin down to email, ClickUp and calendar which frees up a huge amount of time - and more
importantly removes the crippling stress of feeling like I’ve forgotten something.

I have severe ADHD so if I don’t use lists I forget things. And when I get stressed about maybe having forgotten something my creativity and higher focus evaporates.

Super-powered todo lists are my secret weapon and have changed the way I work in an incredible way.
You’d think the people over at arse would know what a backdoor is.
A key difference is that an fexpr can access its caller's dynamic environment, which obviously, must happen at runtime and cannot be reasoned about statically.

There are plenty of opportunities to access the caller's environment once you get used to having the ability to do so. I find macros far less intuitive than I do Kernel's operatives, but as you've mentioned, this comes at the cost of performance with the inability to compile the code.
I'll gladly eat my own words. I had seen some video reviews of the ID.4 and the ID.3 on youtube complaining about getting far less range than what was advertised, but seemingly the advertised range and stated battery capacities seem to indicate that the VW EVs are just as efficient as Teslas are.
Is there work on cleanly subsetting dependently typed languages to ones where well-typed-ness can be automatically proven? That's not generally the case, right? I think those concerns are basically why people come up with less-general typing mechanisms.
He wrote an entire text processing system as a way of procrastination, though.
I get that.

My point is that OP says they don't "get" why people have opinions on OSes and then goes on to state how Pop_OS is "useless" if you want to run niche commercial software.

I mean if OSes don't matter then I guess one doesn't need Final Cut Pro. Kdenlive or OpenShot should be just fine, right? I find that sort of argument disheartening and it is because it diminishes the free and polished options we have at our disposal.
That is the whole bitcoin spiel.

However, the economy does not work or grow with a society of hoarders, or people expending electricity without producing any real (not virtual) work.

Money is just a tool for value transaction and creation, bitcoin does not fill neither of those roles. It is theoretically useless for society.

To give you an analogy, compare the stagnant (no inflation) Japan vs. USA economy (controlled inflation). This gives you an idea of how monetary policy is used; it has nothing to do with "intentionally devaluing currency to steal our work", it is about keeping up with population and economic growth.

I get it, bitcoin's popularity coincides with a lot of millennials and generation Z who could not find work or were stalled professionally because of the 2009's crisis and now COVID. But a shortcut is not the answer.

Young people will soon learn the value of real work, not quick and easy money. The last three crises were mostly fueled by greedy rich people selling lies: dotcom, mortgages, I hope crypto is not another one (but it fits the pattern).

It's hilarious to me how much Google is hammering on content layout shift as a web vital for ranking websites when they're one of the most annoying offenders. I can't tell you how often I have accidentally clicked that "People also search for" box that sometimes loads in beneath the first result, when I am actually trying to click the second result.

It's infuriating, and makes me wonder if anyone at Google actually uses their own product.
I'm not sure that the grievance is necessarily that Mac shortcut keys are better, but it's that what the OP is used to. It's a pain to switch.

I took no issue with the tone of your replies, and I hope my own tone has been civil as well - I am in fact enjoying this conversation! Also, thank you for the link to the Freeman Dyson essay, I had not read it before.

Related to the matter of explanations vs analogies - I think I agree with most of your points. It's also true that Veritassium was dismissing a different chain model than the one I used.

However, I would say that, to me but also many other people, the Poynting vector is not an explanation of what is happening - it seems to be much more of a property of the system rather than an explanation of why the system does what it does. The mechanical analogies help give this insight - why is it working the way that it is? - as do the (classical) field-based explanations.

In fact, as far as I understand, Maxwell's theory works quite well as a mechanical theory of (mechanical) waves propagating in a medium. The problem with this isn't that the maths don't work out - it's that the theories also hold for propagation in outer space or man-made vacuum, where we have been unable to find such a medium.

The existence of this medium, in which EM waves are simple mechanical waves, was actually the main scientific theory for quite some time (the luminiferous aether). However, as experiments probed deeper and deeper at the necessary properties, especially with the locality bounds imposed by special relativity, the luminiferous aether became impossible to accept and the need for a medium had to be abandoned in favor of the field-based explanation - without any change to the actual maths, though.

It's also important to note that the Poynting vector is itself a consequence of applying two simple laws - special relativity and the conservation of energy - to EM theory. These two simple laws lead to a basic observation: energy can't move from point A to point B without moving somehow through each point in space between A and B. The Poynting vector tells you, for any point, which direction the energy is moving in that point. The general concept is not tied to EM, just the particular magnitude and direction is dependent on Maxwell's equations. Equivalent vectors would exist for any phenomenon that can transfer energy - strong force, gravitational effects, mechanical waves, oil trucks etc.
