I ran the DS2500s for a couple years before shopping around a bit to see what was out there. I settled on custom made pads using a Mintex material which pn escapes me now.

I used some pretty decent brands and pads and found the Forodos were the only ones that I couldn't get to fade in the hills. Their friction coefficient starts at 50c so it's definitely not unreasonable like actual race pads that can start in the 125c+ range.

I only ever found them a little suprising when they had been hot hot and then the next morning it would take a bit more of a press on the peddal to pull up and the stop lights. I still always had confidence that if I stood on it they would pull up in time.

As for running propper race pads at the track, that's fine and I had the same brembos you would've but replacing the rotors I was using wasn't something I wanted to shell out for every few track days. The Forodos never had any fade issues on track and I have a picture with the back wheels almost lifting as I brake from speed cut.
Personally, I have gotten some heat for working with YAF. As a person of color, I am seen as a contrarian. Growing up, I was taught that the left cares about us minorities, while anyone who aligns with the right is racist. Some people on campus think this way and see my activism as a betrayal. I’ve been called an Uncle Tom, but I don’t let it bother me.

Name calling aside, this "heat" he's been getting might have something to do with his joining a group that was founded in the home of America's foremost unapologetic segregationist of the time (or perhaps second-most, after George Wallace):

I always drink alone these days, Covid killed whatever superficial drinking groups I had joined. Though I tend to prefer to go out, as opposed to being at home. I’m stuck in the apartment for most of the day anyway.

I’ve never been bothered much by it in the past, but I think I’m quickly getting sick of it. It frankly gets boring, hanging out at bars all night aimlessly drinking. Yeah I talk people on occasion, but we’re normally a little a drunk for the conversation to be interesting or mean anything. Still I prefer if to aimlessly doing anything else, especially sitting at home.

I’ve been called out once or twice, by people curious about who I was or why I was always out alone. My relatively young age probably doesn’t help with attracting negative connotations. However, last week, I stopped by one of my regular bars, and the person next to me effectively called me out as a loser (with much nicer language, and beating around the bush). It ended up agitating me a bit because of how blatant it was. I know it, you know it, but does it really have to be announced out loud?
I’ve tried to use to do lists and it has never worked for me. The necessary upkeep to keep it up to date annoyed me the most.

Recently, however, I’ve come to realise the value of having a well-groomed todo list, with tasks broken down and prioritised. E.g. not “work on my game” but rather “Find 10 inspirations for the games art direction (20m)”.

This gets rid of any ambiguities I have around the task, which has been a friction large enough for me to procrastinate.

You missed my point.

Incompleteness means that there are true statments for which there are no proofs.

But that doesn't preclude proofs that are beyond the proof system that you proofed incompleteness for.

A non discete/symbolic proof might exist after all.

It would therefore not be the existence of the natural number subset that causes undecidability, but the missing parts of the non-natural superset required to talk about the proofs that cause undecidability.
You get what you measure, and the only thing they know how to measure is negative outcomes.

You can't prove that giving me an extra 5k made me stay long enough to pay it back at >= our revenue targets.

The semi-healthy version I see play out is when people who want to be better use the loss of a customer or a coworker as fodder for pushing their agenda. Essentially it's one class of teachable moment. People learn from pain when nothing else works, and you can amplify or dull that sense of pain.

>“We continue to try and contact the Tonga network operations centre but at this stage remain unable to do so, even via satellite phone. While we understand Tonga also has satellite links, we don’t know whether the satellite ground equipment has been affected.”

The ground link between Fiji and Tonga was broken. Even satellite links are down due the ash cloud. That's why there's no telemetry from anything at all. Hard to imagine but we have no link to Tonga.

Mac differs between switching windows and applications.

So if you work in an IDE, keep reading docs in one Firefox window and test your application in another Firefox window then in KDE or XFCE or another sane windowing system[1] - even Windows - you just use alt - tab.

On Mac you have to stop an think: Should I switch to another browser Window? Ok, that is CMD - backtick. Switch to or from IDE? That is CMD - tab.

Press the wrong combination? Now Cyberduck has entered the mix.

Right. Another way to think about it is if you reproject the Skyrim map so that each navmesh tri is equally big, a surprisingly large area would be taken up by points of interest, and foxes target a random point in a radius around the current point in that reprojected map.
Is it more dangerous? I don't think so. It is when you already are alcoholic and drunk with friends, you will move to drink alone. And drinking a lot for social approval is very common way to alcoholism.

But beer alone vs with with friends , I am not convinced former is more dangerous.
Depends on the circumstance, I used to travel for a living, and attended movies alone not infrequently, I can't recall a single occasion when someone looked at me funny, or asked me why I was there alone, nor would my friends ask "who'd you go with?".

If the topic of drinking alone comes up, there is always a warning or admonishment.

If a company pays no dividends and its stock goes to zero, it's a complete loss. Not sure if there's any value created. If a company takes investment money and never sells a product and then runs out of money, I suppose you could argue maybe value is created for others in the spending of that investor money, but that argument may apply for casinos as well.

But maybe I'm missing the point you're trying to make.
This is anecdotal evidence, and should not be taken seriously.

In a disk brake setup (which is what this Tesla has) there is a caliper with slots for two brake pads on each wheel. So with 4 wheels that would be 8 break pads. The caliper squeezes the pads on both sides of the rotor (which is turns with the wheel) in order to slow down. This is why having one left over (or just an odd number left over) is a red flag. You can’t put two many in, there is no reasonable way to make that mistake, but you could leave one out, so it makes sense to check for that mistake.
>jumps a bit fast from “drinking” and “getting drunk”

This is precisely what disturbed me. Enjoying a book, videogame, binge watching etc. while enjoying 1-2 drinks sipping a nice whiskey or beer, that's fine. (for men more than 2-3/day and more than 14/week total is classed as problem drinking. And the 2-3/14 is not a recommendation, it's more an absolute max)

Occasionally exceeding this daily mark? Probably no big deal. (For values of occasionally that have months in between them and never include negative consequence as a result beyond "yep, gonna need some ibuprofen and a coffee")

If you exceed 14 in a week even occasionally though, that seems a bit more problematic. Any addiction can be perniciously subtle, slowly creeping up where each tiny increment seems like no big deal. I'm guessing that a lot of people feel they can stop any time because along that incremental process, at some point they could have stopped, but when they reached beyond that point there was no sign marking the road to let them know it.
I’m aware that I’m inviting a “bad bot” riposte by saying this, but it’s:

Yeah man I got an offer from Amazon and the next thing I knew they were BUP'ing me all day long. It wasn't long until I was LUG'd too. I'm sure their QFC was sky high after that.
"Write drunk, edit sober" comes to mind.

Comments seem to be on the moralizing side of things, ouch. I'm sure we're all aware that being an alcoholic is bad, yes, thanks. And yes, I'm sure we can all strive to be paragons of abstinence and Real Zen. But while we're doing that, we might do well to remember not take things too seriously all the time.
Touchpad gestures for Linux apps are being worked on:

- Latest update (December 2021): https://www.gitclear.com/blog/linux_touchpad_update_december...

- HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29555822

So far, pinch-to-zoom has been implemented in Firefox. (If you are using X11 instead of Wayland, then the environment variable MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 needs to be set.) Gestures for back/forward navigation have not been implemented yet (Firefox Bugzilla issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1539730).

The project aims to support gestures in other Linux apps, too. If you would like to help fund this project, the developer has a GitHub sponsor page here:

If you use the same keyboard for both, by default they end up in different places. The Mac treats the Windows key as the Command key, and the Alt key as the Option key.

> Due to waning efficacy of the primary series of COVID-19 vaccines and the emergence of highly transmissible variants such as Omicron, a booster shot is now part of staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccination to protect against severe disease

I'm probably reading too much into it but: I buy the argument that you want employees vaccinated so they don't spread covid, but now they are asking their workers to do something "to protect against severe disease"? Such a motivation is well outside what is appropriate for an employer to have a say in. Maybe apple should also mandate employees don't smoke, or eat bacon?
Not the person you replied to, but a great example is my now-wife. When we had started dating over a decade ago, she thought I was nuts for going to see a movie by myself while I waited for her to finish her shift at work nearby.

She genuinely couldn't believe I was doing that and thought I was weird for it. Obviously things worked out, but yeah.
Steam Deck should at least double that.
No, it’s a reminder from your past self. For example: at any given time, I’m usually supervising 6 to 10 students at the same time. In one day I might have 4 or 5 meetings, and I might promise, to each of them, to do something until our next meeting. But in the next two days I have other stuff to do, so I’ll only get to it a few days later. Each of these promises is important to me, and I don’t want to let them down, but expecting myself to remember each of them is a self-sabotage. I need a todo list. Also saying that “if I forgot is because it wasn’t really important” would make me an awful supervisor.
Weird comparisons. On the left we have first party apps by Apple, and on the right we have whatever you want to download from the internet.

I think the first I heard of it was my Western Civilization college course.
People who pay the dealerships asking price on a new car are paying at least a couple thousand more than they have to.
It's funny reading this article in the middle of dry January (I've been observing the informal month since college). Tangential to the article, but the weirdest thing about not drinking is realizing that you don't even like some of the people you hang out with when you drink.
That's weird, an account that old shouldn't be have this issue. Try emailing jeff@amazon.com (yes, this is a legit email) about your situation. You will get a response from someone higher up who may be able to help you.
A very similar thing happened to me. Any used car or on-the-lot new car (in whatever apportionment a dealer will get) is hiked up to astronomically levels for impatient folks. This means when things eventually correct in price, there will be a lot of salty bagholders.

By ordering and taking the bus for a few months, buying a car from the factory was the best deal.

I usually buy used cars and maintain them myself to a good degree, but that's only on the premise that you really don't lose much value on them from years ~5-10. If the price halves over that time, I might as well lose a similar amount from years 0-5 from regular depreciation and have warranty coverage.

I see a lot of these comments on Reddit and HN recently, but I have no idea where all of these people are working that doesn't do any sort of performance management. Outside of maybe the biggest, oldest tech companies that have so much profit that nothing matters, companies really don't enjoy burning cash on useless headcount. It's hard to tell if they're even actually practicing what they preach, or if it's just a sort of escapist fiction.

At every reasonably well-run company I've worked for, the "useless" people were steadily sifted out of the company, either through PIPs or routine layoffs.

That doesn't mean you had to monotonically increase your workload forever until you were crushed, but it did mean that management routinely did basic performance management and would look deeper into people or groups that weren't really doing anything (including maintenance, upkeep, and routine tasks that don't necessarily involve new features).

Another common technique is to periodically restructure and shuffle teams around. It may be easy for someone to wiggle into a position where they can be useless while fooling their manager, but it's much harder to maintain this state across multiple teams and even divisions.
That quality control sticker could have been for the assembly of the caliper itself rather than the final installation of the brakes to the vehicle, which is when the pads would go in. Still obviously utterly inexcusable QA though. (Not to mention it takes them weeks to simply procure a new rotor, caliper and pads, which as the article mentions they need for every new car they build!)
it’s all relative, depends on your vantage point.

just look at the OP thread that led to these discussions: the author is vocally decrying blockchains. if you view anti-crypto as the atheists in this analogy then they sure do make a lot of noise on HN (these kinds of posts routinely make the front page).
> Considering how much people love and use Rust, Typescript and typechecking in Python, I don't think your point about people prefering JS and Python is that strong.

I do think there's been a "type renaissance" in the past 5 or so years, after we all dove headfirst into JS and Python and broke the whole internet.
Science on this is great. However, don't parrot this to your friends until you see it replicated somewhere else (preferably somewhere not governed by ivermectin-peddling populists) and confirmed in a double-blind random-controlled trial (which this doesn't even get close to). After all, no reason to hold this stuff to a lower standard than the anyone want to hold the vaccines to (regardless of whether they realise these standards were already met there).
> prevention isn't as profitable as a fully realized disease

There is actually a market force to make prevention more profitable: insurance companies. If they could save 90% of their costs by preventing issues instead of paying for treatment, wouldn't you think they'd do it?

Unfortunately it turns out that "prevention is worth a pound of cure" is not actually true[1], which is why insurance companies don't do it.

The only exception I can think of would be certain auto insurance companies, which give you discounts for defensive-driving classes or even driving less.

There are other ways to infer your value. Taking longer vacations, especially off season, can illustrate to people what it's like not to have you around. If they don't miss you, it's time to move on. If they do, it's time to remind your boss.

I knew one guy who was a career employee for a Fortune 500 company, he just moved around every five years, but this guy had the ballsiest negotiation tactic I've ever seen. When it was time to discuss a raise, he'd wear a suit to work and take two hour lunches. In one case he didn't even have time to talk to his boss before his boss approached him with a raise.
