> "Tesla ranks almost dead-last on Consumer Reports reliability list"

I find this laughable. We're on our 3rd Tesla and we've never had anything even hinting of a reliability issue/getting stranded. There is absolutely no maintenance outside of consumables, which is really just tires, as the brake pads last the life of the car if you drive it as it's meant to be driven (regen); maybe windshield washer fluid? There've been a small number of minor things, like a seat belt tensioner on one of the three started rattling. They came and fixed it in my garage. 12V battery was on its way out on our oldest Tesla, car gave a message ahead of it dying (so, proactively avoided leaving us stranded by using software to interpret collected measurements), Tesla came and replaced it in my garage in 10 min for free. New cars are supposed to get Li-Ion 12V batteries soon standard, so the company is purposefully improving reliability. (Note: yes, Teslas have a 12V battery for auxiliary/emergency power, i.e. in case you run the EV battery all the way down you can still operate door locks etc).

Just doesn't add up calling cars that are known to intrinsically be super low maintenance and have much lower part count/complexity unreliable. Everyone I know who drives a Tesla has the same experience: zero maintenance, replace tires every 30-40k miles or when you get a flat and that's pretty much it. One of the main reasons I highly prefer EVs is because of reliability and lack of maintenance. Something seems fishy here.
It's interesting to me that that Japanese language learning community seems to take the opposite approach to what I think is the view you're describing. For example, they focus very heavily on memorizing a lot of kanji early, without as much grounding in the spoken language or in reading simpler texts and building up fluency. It always seemed like these learners were going about it the hard way since you have almost no context when learning kanji you don't know from the spoken language.
The new pocket 3 [0] comes rather close to what I would consider ultimate (they listened to the backers, me included, asking for a zaurus like 2 in 1).

But… I am starting to dislike the long term value of this thing; it will break and then it is a throw away. I have most GDP devices and when they break, after about 3 years consistently, they will tell you it is too old to fix.

I ordered the Astro Slide [1] as well which has the same issue.

So the dream is, for me, a slightly smaller pocket 3, keyboard quality of the Slide, with 5g and the swivel screen with 1 Side lcd and one side (color) eink, running Linux and built like the Frame.work (easy to repair and upgrade). I don’t mind bulkier (meaning thicker, not wider); actually, I would welcome it for bigger batteries.

I would toss all my other devices.

> What mileage would be enough for these naysayers?

I live in the city. There are a fair amount of chargers, but not enough (and probably never will be). So 'enough', for me, is when it can compete with a regular ICE car: Charge it for about 5-10 minutes, and then not have to worry about it again for at least a couple of weeks. We're almost there, but not quite.
Yay! Spotify: you are now a content producer, take responsibility for it. Duh.
>The reality is that you want "instruction set" that you're using to solve your problems.

yeah either that or by having a small instruction set you can know all the language at a reasonably deep level, but with a large enough language and the need to write maintainable code this becomes more difficult. You may be hit with situations where you need to look up the specification of the language you are supposed to be an expert in.

But you're right, you definitely know better than I what I mean when I say I like languages with a small instruction set.
Other laws that force manufacturers to do things they don't want: Food safety laws, liability laws, minimum warranty terms, truthful advertising, anti-trust, laws against dumping toxic sludge in rivers or sending it to poor countries, putting lead in your products, minimum wage, maximum working hours etc.

Would you abolish those laws as well? Note that most manufacturer wouldn't do those things voluntarily, or rather, unless forced, they couldn't even if they wanted to, because they wouldn't be competitive.

Yes, some consumers are knowledgeable, have the time to choose wisely and funds to pay more upfront, but it's not realistic to expect consumers to do extensive research on each item they buy. In such a market, a good manufacturer is relegated to be much more costly, because they don't have economies of scale, hurting both good manufacturers, all consumers and the environment.
> no need for NAT

Yeah everyone says this but I can't access any ports on my IPv6 address from outside my home network.

Back to IPv4 + NAT + port forwarding, I guess.

I have bigger problems I need to solve in my life right now. When one day I can just ssh <my-ipv6-address> from the outside I'll do that. Thanks.

Also, there's the DNS problem. I can remember 10.0.0.3, 10.0.0.20, etc. pretty damn easily. I can't remember 8cef::fasd:8000:c00a:::99aa:::::81/42:8fe
that easily.

Which is an issue when things like 'foobar.local' don't work half the time. I have the IPv4 addresses of all my internal machines memorized thanks to the the fact that .local just doesn't work, period.
HN has a huge bias against Tesla, Bitcoin, and Javascript. All 3 have become wildly popular. Whenever the HN hive mind is against something, that's a good sign it will become popular.
That ratio indicates that there is some biased process leading to the ratio, and that process should be de-biased. Presuming women and men have equal math abilities (I assume this is true) and equal desire to obtain degrees (not entirely sure; this is a very controversial topic) you would expect that an unbiased selection process would generate 50% male/female ratio. Again, many assumptions and conclusions in what i just said are not absolutely certain.

Many departments are currently realizign they play a role in systemic discrimination, and those ratios help them understand how far they are from the mean.
Be reminded that many of us are out here on bikes every day, and that our lives are at risk by the strange proclivities to engineer car-first roads and to drive oversized, heavy, fast vehicles on them (regardless of their means of propulsion).

Many municipalities (I'll use my current location of St. Petersburg, FL as an example) are working to make the roads safer in all that ways that you (I assert, incorrectly) presume will never happen.
Those need to look at sets of only three, respectively four integers. For the default n, that’s 200×200, respectively 200 times faster ⇒ I don’t think it makes much of a difference.

Also, the paper talks of “as the smallest instances in which four fifth powers sum to a fifth power”

I guess they also looked for sums of 4th powers, but didn’t find

95800⁴ + 217519⁴ + 414560⁴ = 422481⁴

(Found on a connection machine in 1988) or any of the even larger ones.
The music industry has exactly been this controversial and a battle ground over difficult free speech issues in my lifetime.

Frank Zappa vs Tiper Gore for instance.
If you mean they have to solve the same problems with very careful design and programming, yes. It's non trivial. Even Postrgres had a correctness issue around fsync for nearly twenty years.

If you roll your own, that's very hard to get right. I wouldn't have confidence in such a system that I've built myself.
> Do you personally know people like this?

Yes. Would they tell you to your face "I'd never walk in that neighborhood" not directly, no. But they'd say "it's not safe there". They keep their support by protesting on twitter, but would never set foot in a soup kitchen in one of those neighborhood churches.

Since we're sharing stories, another interesting one I have is of an initiative of an atheist organization. Kind of like a non-religious church substitute. The decided that there was not enough outreach into the communities like you see in the article. After some bitter back and forth, they eventually met with the leaders from those communities and learned how much of a support those little churches provide. So striking at their foundation, in an attempt to bring enlightenment doesn't work, especially when there are no other services or help there to substitute it for all the help they provide.

> you're making some pretty broad generalizations and imagining

You might have a better experience or perspective, would want to share it? Usually, that's more constructive than just saying "well, you're imagining stuff" and leaving it at that.
> So far at least there haven’t been many white presenting Americans identifying as black or mixed race when their DNA test shows 4% African ancestry.

This used to be more common when it was legally enforced by the state.

See the fascinating history of "Walter White":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Francis_White
Understood, but using self-reported race is very inaccurate, so they are wasting money a lot of the time. Instead, a rapid ancestry test would be inexpensive (<$100) and would provide a much better guide to determine if the expensive test should be taken.

WHat test is it (if you feel free sharing)?
> People kept receiving salaries, and unemployment benefits. So financial position and income of families was always strong

I'm confused; weren't you arguing above that unemployment concerns shouldn't have motivated government spending because the drop in demand was artificial? You can't bolster that position by saying that the demand stayed strong because of unemployment benefits and salaries that went out despite people staying home; those spending categories (PPP loans and enhanced unemployment benefits) were a government subsidy to keep demand from cratering.
> Apparently you can buy IPv6 addresses, use them for the servers on your home network, and then if you change your ISP, continue to use the same IP addresses?

> I’m still not totally sure how this works but it sounds cool.

Naively I would say this is completely impossible without some form of your home router (or ISP?) relaying your traffic, or perhaps telling the sender that I am now actually located in a different subnet somewhere. If anyone can have IP(v6) addresses and keep them and take them with you, then wouldn't that result in an unmanageably large lookup table at routing nodes to know where to route stuff to?

How does that work?
Metformin is not ideal for some if not most men. It wipes out testosterone levels.

After a few weeks of taking it my T levels were below average and free-T levels were that of 100 year old men.
This was a huge drop from the above average levels, for men in 20s, that I usually have.
It’s funny — that’s a pet peeve of mine too. To read the popular press you don’t get that impression at all. In fact it’s all authoritative statements about the “best map of far matter yet” or some other conclusion about dark matter. And if (for instance in the comments section of HN) one brings up the fact that they have no idea and dark matter is just a plug between what we know about gravity and what we observe in the EM spectrum, one often gets shouted down.
Is this classified as misinformation?

Not as bad as vaccine misinformation, of course, but still.
> Given the large long roads in the US, there’s always going to be a preference for large vehicles.

Are you sure you don't have that relationship backwards? Similarly,

> Especially since there is a strong link between weight/size and safety.

Solely for the given vehicle's occupants, and to the detriment of everyone else around them.
Firewalls are fine but having the ability to make machines unroutable is even more powerful, no?

While I get that firewalls are probably safe like 99.99% of the time… I’ve gotta say, I just don’t trust software to not have vulns of some sort that someone important already knows how to break. So eg for a corporate network I would be hesitant to do this, for my personal network not so much (unlikely that a 3 letter agency gives a shit about what I do).

Additionally. Firewall changes can sometimes fail for whatever reasons so you might have accidentally exposed a node publicly for some time.

Making those nodes not reachable from the internet seems prudent. It’s like your office building has a public address but your office assignments don’t need to be public.
I should probably write is_empty() more often, but, it is actually doing anything that len() == 0 isn't doing, or is it just that is_empty() better explains what I presumably wanted to ask?
You will be getting around 1000 euros netto straight out of university, with 14 month pay (christmas + summer packages).

If you happen to do consulting to the major groups (telecommunications, banking, insurances, international brands like OutSytems,...) your salary will top around 2000 netto, unless you move into management.

Those values are per month, and any fellow countryman/woman can gladly correct me for more up to date values.

And that is when one was lucky to take an university degree and land a job on the degree's area, the minimum wage should be around 400 euros nowadays.

Also you will also have the typical southern Europe culture that things get done when they are done, and in some sweatshops working conditions can be quite bad, and since not everyone can live on the main cities, sometimes that is the only software job in the area, so better not push it.

Yes the weather isn't the best, however in northern Portugal we do happen to have a similar weather, and without central heating (unless you happen to live in very recent buildings from the last 20 years), otherwise common heaters and fireplace.

Also the German region where I happen to live can have nice Summers as well.
What about "programmatic access to docs"? HTML pages aren't pipeable.

I think the main reason is for supporting both AT&T and Intel syntax at the same time.

but oddly, not for neighborhood electrical delivery.
Hard to take the ap seriously anymore. I probably should just stop reading their stuff altogether, rather than reading it and complaining.
As someone who hasn't seen user-developed software built the right way, I'm very curious to know what enabled such an outcome. What processes or infrastructure helped prevent the situation described in the parent comment?
Brave doesn't even do that. They're still beholden to Google's rendering engine, still forced to complain about the same changes and get dragged around on the same lede. Using Brave is no worse than just installing Chrome and forgetting about it.

The alternative is Firefox (the browser they didn't let Brendan Eich ruin), or stock Chromium with uBlock. Ungoogled Chromium works great too, and hell I'd probably consider using a webkit browser before I'd reach for Brave. Or Vivaldi, for that matter. At least they don't have a goddamn crypto scam being engineered in the same offices where they build the browser.

> What about their huge conflict of interest in getting nearly all their funding from Google?

It's better than getting all of their funding from a 30% cut of your ad revenue. At least Google is funding Mozilla out of pity.
It was that (my employers had very good lawyers -especially wrt IP), but also, I felt a great deal of Responsibility towards my company. I know that my attitude is often derided in this crowd, but it was what it was. I did a great deal of work on the side. The job wasn't super-demanding, and I often spent time at my "day job," thinking about the side work; though not actually tapping on a keyboard. Technically, that was a Bozo no-no, but no one got hurt. In fact, a great many people, all over the world, benefitted from it.

I was careful to keep my side work to stuff that did not interfere, or compete, with my corporate employer, so there was never a problem.
Not trying to be too dismissive, but americans like big houses, and I'm not sure how you can get around that.
I guess it comes down to taste and preference, but I much prefer cargo doc to go doc. Go doc has a "brutalist/minumalist" approach (I understand some people prefer that), while cargo doc has a more "humanist" approach to the docs. I want all the bells and whistles in the browser docs like making it easy to search, read neatly formatted/rendered text, links, and syntax highlighting in the code snippets.

Edit: tpying is hard
This is awesome

Not sure if alternatives/competition exist but gamifying food discovery/selection (plus learning favourites or recommending new food experiences) can be an amazing venture.

What’s the best way to contact you?
I think it should just be mandated by the government
Yeah, its hard to get users to download/run code, which is what I had planned to do initially. I have code that I wrote that runs on my local machine to test both ISP's that I use (I have a dual connection) and stores the result.

Then I realized that very few people will download/run code from the internet just to help test the connectivity/blocking status. So, I am trying to figure out a way to do this that makes it as easy as clicking a button by a visitor. But so far haven't had much luck getting it to work as of yet.
>Headlights in 3years? There is no reason anything to happen to properly driven LEDs in 3y. That's junior level of engineering.

That's a bit of a exaggeration, plenty can go wrong with LED headlights.

A single bad solder might knock out a bank of LEDs. Bad weather stripping can let water in and short something out. You can hit a bump and knock a connection loose.
Yeah, that's a weird line of argument. Because there is nominally no dealership, it's impossible to have your Tesla taken care of before doing the HU? I guess Teslas are produced - and then just rot away, and there's nothing we can do about it?
The places that have a track record of actually getting people to speak languages like the Mormons' Missionary Training Center, Defense Foreign Language Institute, or Middlebury all use methods similar to the comprehensive input method and have for a while. The problem for self-learners is that most languages don't have the right materials to do that easily.

This is probably more of an indictment of electoral politics and the function of the state in general. Leftists (in their various strands of thought) have, for centuries, known and publicized the view that governments exist to dominate and to protect the interests of capital -- it's no secret. So yes, it's a football game, but one intended to distract us from attaining our material interests.

This takes us in the opposite direction from his conclusion for activists (essentially, give up because it doesn't matter) toward a more productive one that asks, if left/right party politics does not produce meaningful change, then what kind of politics can?

There's also a clever load-bearing phrase buried in here that sweeps the explanation for real variation in policy under the rug: "these governments followed the spirit of the age." Now, what is the spirit of the age but the movement of politics?

Of course, the author's motivations are clearer if you look at the other trash that they've written: an article about not being ideological (recently litigated on hacker news [1]), dozens of posts ragging about "the left," and a few articles about how much they hate trans people.

The bigger problem is that neither rust-analyzer nor IntelliJ Rust currently support go-to-definition for trait methods. They will just give you a popup with all the overloads. I understand this is being worked on with Chalk but it's quite jarring coming from Java and C#.

edit: here's the GitHub thread https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/4558
How about people want to live how they want to live and we should innovate to accommodate that not restructure society?
If you describe it like that it sounds like a classical descriptivism vs prescriptivism argument. Nazi Germany leaned hard into prescriptivism, trying to have hard rules for everything, while the US goes with a descriptivism "whatever the people call it is right".

But that sounds fundamentally incompatible with having a fixed list of categories, with that approach surely it would have to be a free text field (or at least a couple categories, along with either a text field or an "other" category, like with gender nowadays)
Funny to see metformin popping up again, it's already a staple in the anti-aging movement.
Yeah, but maybe that was one of the 100 the battery can take before it's at 70% life. There are just so many sliders with a battery, and they all effect each other. Getting them all up at once is the grail.
I'll take almost any cost for extension traits. Going back to Python this is part of what I miss most.

There is no way to add methods to a type in Python that mypy understands. You have to create a new type. This leads to code that is very difficult to extend and pushes you towards inheritance.

I talk a bit about this here:
https://insanitybit.github.io/2020/07/19/intersection-types-...

For me, this became a huge problem when I was building a plugin system in Python. I wanted types to only own their own logic, but I also wanted types to be able to tell other types about themselves. For example, we have a Process and a File. I want to be able to go from Process to File with only one of those knowing about the other. Without extensions you are forced to create ugly workarounds.

Also, I've never had a problem with intellij and extension traits. I kind of wonder why you'd stick with a tool that's a bad experience.
Here in the US, there exists a Duopoly that collectively support each other in excluding any other views by focusing on a series of "wedge issues" that generate a lot of emotional heat, where reality demands thought and nuance and compromise, but the extremists can dissipate emotions and distract.

The RepubliCratic cancer needs to go, but I doubt it will.

Why? It actively votes against the will of the population, in service of the wealthy donors who fund their reelection campaigns.
I wonder if the author is aware that rust has a well working, well searchable documentations you can easily open locally in case you have no internet ("rustup doc" & "cargo doc --open").

> You check the documentation of that crate and indeed, you find the write_u16 method there; phew.

Like, all wild card impl. traits are in the documentation, including such which are dereferenced.

EDIT:
Just to be clear if you pull in other code, including potential traits, you need to open the documentation specific to your crate (cargo doc).
