None of which is going to happen in the US in the next 50+ years no matter what. We're not rebuilding the entire superstructure of the US anytime soon. We can't even agree to put together funds or routine taxes to properly maintain basic infrastructure.

Should it happen? It'd be great if the US had dozens of nice cities that were inviting to live in. It doesn't. It never will. It's not going to happen. People often don't want to live in cities in the US, because have you seen the state of most major US cities? Europeans think American cities are close to being of third world condition and it's not far off as an assessment. That's going to get worse, not better, as the US gradually decays toward being a richer version of Brazil. We're not going to have more money to spend on making things nice in the future (education, housing, infrastructure, social programs, etc), we're going to have a lot less - our skyrocketing debt and entitlement obligations guarantee that inevitable outcome, the US will rot. The political class isn't going to suddenly become amazing problem solvers, they're going to get worse too, as the culture continues to also rot (all of this is a direct product of a severe cultural decline in the US spanning many decades now).

The globally stretched superpower, pre-occupied with so many things that it shouldn't be, that now can't even maintain its bridges properly, isn't going to rationally reimagine and successfully rebuild its urban superstructures. It's obvious what the next 20-30 years will look like.

You're comparing apples to oranges - your non-web dev examples have high impact while your web developer is doing something less consequential. In reality, you can have high impact as a web dev as well - say noticing and fixing a large security bug which could be used to steal personal data of a billion people - or improving performance of a popular webapp (say Facebook's main page), which can result in large amounts of electricity saved every year. These accomplishments are probably as rare as the non-webdev examples you gave though. In reality, as a data scientist or an embedded engineer you'll also most likely to be working on an inconsequential detail of some inconsequential (or straight up BS) project. The engineering field is very detail-oriented and it just needs a hundred peons for every "cool job", regardless of the subfield.
It depends on the each battery chemistry but most lithium based batteries that would count as like .6 of a cycle or less. Those 1000 cycles are usually determined by full discharge and recharge which is the most demanding on the battery. Usually in the data sheet for batteries you can see cycles for full discharges and partial discharges.

Not OP, async drop isn't a thing, but you can still have a drop guard in an async function. It's not as nice as having async drop obviously, because you can't run any await-able code inside Drop, but it still works for some situations:

async fn foo() {
let guard = Guard;
// async stuff
}

impl Drop for Guard {
fn drop(&mut self) {
// do cleanup
}
}

The distinction between excising content from the actual archive as compared to editing a version for broadcast is an important one. The former would be awful but the latter is reasonable, unless the broadcast is part of a series about past approaches to such matters (and is available with suitable warnings).

The whole thing should be a non-issue though now, because they have their own platform (iPlayer) with which they ought to be able to provide both versions in a user selectable manner (with necessary age checks if that's deemed necessary, as it is for certain content already on there). This gives the ideal compromise, as it doesn't rewrite history whilst ensuring that people who may be offended have an option suitable for them.

This leads into the other thing they should be pushing to achieve, which is to get much more of their archive accessible to UK license payers - clearly 100% would be a tall order but it's a good target.

I agree, adding generating sequences would be good.

Nice!
Don't feel bad. Conscientious people earn more because people like them more. Just remember to negotiate well, because conscientious people often feel bad about negotiating hard. You shouldn't feel bad about asking for solid compensation for your work. Especially if you're getting up at 2am.
If it’s cheaper for them, why isn’t it cheaper for us?

> For actual users nothing beats the simplicity of paying via contactless card (or mobile) payment solution.

Not true. The next level of simplicity is not having to do anything at all (eg just plug in to charge and have the money deducted automatically). NFC or fiddling with an app on a phone is definitely worse than that. But now we need more standards to enable it for anyone other than teslas.
>it's not a desirable job so very few people train into it.

I object, although I know this is a side point. Trucking is one of the largest sectors of employment in America. If driving a large vehicle was so inherently undesirable that nobody would train into it, how do you explain... that?

I'll grant that being a bus driver isn't as romanticized as being a truck driver. But at least part of that is because the companies that hire truck drivers market the profession as a lifestyle and the cities that hire bus drivers generally do not.
They're either both works of art or they're both just films, that you like one over the other subjectively (and conveniently for your argument) is by the by.

My point is that these seemingly innocuous changes are not innocuous, they are correlated with what we would all agree is censorship, because it's an indication of a culture of censoriousness. A snip here is a snip there, it's all for your own good.

Censors definitely don't care about whether something is art, that's for sure.

If you think of Ruby as a more readable / maintainable Perl -- it's much better suited to these text processing tasks.

Ruby even supports Perl regular expressions which are more powerful and convenient than Awk's.

Probably because they're dead. There's no auto-reply for that. It would be interesting if that was possible to affix to personas, optionally. If there was an identity system that could notify forums and emailers and messengers that response isn't possible. Some way to have a resolution.

It is also worth pointing out that having the enter key send a CR+LF pair instead of just a CR is a setup option in the terminal.

> Also, the "VT100 connected to an IBM PC AT" link above is pretty remarkable, to me - I always used PC-DOS via the default framebuffer, so I didn't know this was possible!

I'm not terribly surprised that DOS can interface with a serial console, although I was not specifically aware of the feature.

One thing that is rather interesting about this is that you can easily tell if an application is using the DOS IO routines for IO (because those get sent to the COM port), vs interfacing with the VGA hardware directly since that appears in the VGA framebuffer.

For example, I tried installing windows 1.0 in the emulator, and all the setup screens bypassed the COM port for both input and output until it reached the very end, and then it output a few final messages via DOS IO commands (so they went to the terminal).
Ask HN: Is there any companies hiring/working like Automaticc?
Their hiring process and philosophy seem like a dream come true. ( https://automattic.com/how-we-work/ )

But unfortunately none of their offers are a good fit for me(it's either technologies that I hate, or not enough seniority) :/

Do you know any similar companies?

Thanks
The other issue that I ran into with printers last year is that the OEMs have to be careful not the sell the future.

Everybody wanted small all-in-one devices last year, and nobody wanted big office printers. Companies like HP, Epson, etc won’t invest too much capital in production because that demand will implode later. Those companies probably sold 3-5 years of demand in a year for some SKUs.

It similar to the issue in the ports where everyone acts I’m their perceived best interest, which often screws over everyone.

My guess is that we’ll see a price collapse in the next 12-18 months for some commodities as the hoarding orders start getting fulfilled and companies are stuck with warehouses and balance sheets full of inventory.
The constitution only specified that cash can be used to settle debts or pay taxes. Stores can (and many do) refuse cash.
I added the discounted membership cost, again it's still pretty heavily marked up over the cost of that power being charged to the stations (which is way lower than you PG&E peak residential rates).

edit: You can head to the business BEV calculator and calculate for 200 cars doing full charges daily between 6am and 10pm (200 mile charges), every day of the month, the total monthly cost for power divided by the number of charges gets you to ~$10.50/charge power cost. So they're marking it up 80% in the cheapest case. If you only charge during peak hours (4-9pm) you could come out slightly ahead of the cost of energy assuming you paid for the membership.
I wasn't impressed until I tried the finger smudging tool - there was a noticeably more realistic effect there than normal.
In some contexts, sure. There's a step change between an appliance doing this--where you are expected to have limited capabilities--and something like a general-purpose computer doing this.

An appliance going "nope, I have one path for this" is, tbh, to be expected. A dishwasher washes dishes, and the idea that there is a secret-sauce way to tell it to do something it isn't actively presenting to you is not something a reasonable person is going to expect. It's why my dishwasher has like eight buttons on the top--it enumerates everything it can do. So if that appliance is hiding its verbs, then a reasonable person is going to assume it doesn't have any.
I don't think it's cursive. In the cursive I learned in the south eastern US, every letter connects in some fashion.

Good for them; Azure Virtual Desktop and Amazon Workspaces are both pretty mature offerings that absolutely blow Citrix out of the water on cost, performance and functionality. It’s one of those rare use cases where autoscaling in the public cloud with some lightweight management tools is an unreasonably effective solution by nearly every available metric.
> Launched in November 2021, our Non-Tesla Supercharger pilot will continue to expand to new sites and countries in support of our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.
Stuff like this is why I'm starting to wonder if I need to hoard non-connected appliances now before they aren't available any more.

I certainly have zero intention of ever buying a new car again either. I hope to be buried with my late 90's/early 2000's "dumb" cars :p
Lower costs for the provider do not necessarily translate into lower costs for the customers, most likely higher profits for the provider.
Definitely related, probably dependent on. The overleaf outage ended right when the gitlab outage did.

The EU mandates the CCS charging connector.

We really need to do the same thing in the US. Every auto manufacturer, except Tesla, is going with CCS. (Even Nissan announced that they are dropping Chdemo in the US and switching to CCS.)

Tesla's proprietary supercharger is just like Betamax: They were first to the market, but the market didn't adopt their standard. There will even be people who bemoan that "supercharger was better" even though CCS supports faster charge rates than supercharger. (CCS has bigger pins than Supercharger.)

Edit: Betamax had a smaller cartridge size limiting the physical amount of tape that would fit in a given cassette. Even though on paper Betamax was "better," a complete movie had to use a slower tape speed than VHS. Thus, the VHS version of a movie often had a clearer picture than Betamax.
Israelis are very good at marketing and creating this superficial,mystical,super power entity capable of anything.

Here's the lens I use, hopefully it will help.

A terse equation or statement in mathematics represents what you will understand, the rest of the paper is to get you there.

Wanting to read the main equations and understand them, so as to use that knowledge reading the paper, is backward. If the main equation was ax^2+bx+c=0, you wouldn't need to read the paper, right? It's about the quadratic equation, it's aimed at primary students.

But that's how it works, we keep pounding away at the paper: taking notes, following references, thinking a lot about each of the definitions, then eventually, you look at the main equation and say "oh. ok. I know what this says now".
These are significant and general problems with society right now but perhaps orthogonal to transportation. Being able to drive past the homeless encampment might be convenient(?) right now but we've graduated from ignoring our crumbling, unaffordable car infrastructure to ignoring the crumbling, unaffordable healthcare and housing.
The twitter poster in question, isislovecruft, has a bit of a volatile persona online. They have been involved in multiple controversies over the years. Not to discredit their work, but they seem to relish in the tech social media spotlight.
Definitely related, overleaf probably depends on gitlab. The overleaf outage ended right when the gitlab outage did.
> superchargers in some locations/routes being at insane capacity that this will only make things worse

If that happens, Tesla should set a price for other EVs which makes it profitable for them, and then just build as many charging locations as there is demand for. Everyone wins.
I have a Bosch dishwasher and in the manual it actually states not to pre-rinse the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Of course I rinse the bigger pieces of food off anyway because otherwise the filter will need to be cleaned more often (doesn't have a grinder/disposal), but it does also waste a ton of water, and energy heating that water, to pre-wash your dishes.

I believe the real trick is not to overfill the machine with dishes, and ensure your dishes are arranged properly.
> Ok, but many times this leads to wrong conclusions.

Yes, but they're much more accurate than the existing systems: user surveys and focus groups. Those are both notoriously useless because people lie (intentionally or otherwise). Even so, telemetry doesn't wholly replace them. It's on top of them.

Marketing is hard, in part because the data you're working with is either (a) untimely, (b) incorrect, or (c) incomplete. User surveys and focus groups are often all three. Telemetry data is largely just incomplete. That's still a huge improvement. In the worst case, it can be used like grading a test.

> Just because a feature is not used by everyone, or used rarely, does not mean it's useless.

And thanks to a software based interface, maybe you don't need to eliminate that feature. You just don't need to continue to develop it.

Look, whether or not their market data is correct, a company that dedicates their resources in the wrong spot is reducing the value of their product to the customer. It means the product is more expensive for no reason. It means that the majority are subsidizing a feature they don't use in exchange for more development on the core functionality that they do. That's just what that means.

And in terms of probability, the truth is that you've got features on your appliances that you paid for and you will never use. Wouldn't you like your money back on those features? You might be the guy who loves the lilac perfume option in your dishwasher, but you probably aren't if only 5% of people use it. That makes it a luxury feature at best, especially because it might be another point of failure. Let those who want the luxury feature pay the cost of that luxury feature.

Tell me you've never bought an appliance or tool that has a dozen features that get in the way of what you actually want to use it for. How that one time you bought a really nice coffee maker because you want to make good coffee easily, and you ended up spending 10 minutes every morning arguing with it. So you went out and got a coffee maker whose only control is an on-off rocker switch, and you love it because it's dead simple, gives you exactly as much control as you want, and can be operated by the pre-coffee brain.
Tesla announced they plan on selling a Tesla to CSS plug and opening up the supercharger network. However, timing is always an issue. It could happen tomorrow or in twenty years and neither would surprise me.

Those can be "removed" by rendering to text and regenerating a PDF, though. Or even with print + scan + OCR.

Neither are trivial, but doable.
It pisses me off, and I think it is harmful when 6.6kW Chargepoints cost 34c/kWh (operators say, "gee nobody is using this station, why build more")

On the bright side, it should be improved with competition, and 99% of charging is at home anyway.

There is a reasonable argument to be made that remote 350kW charge banks have high infrastructure & peak price costs, but urban L2 chargers have no such good argument to hide behind.
Unfortunately I personally lived in an even worse spot ... just far enough away to "survive"... for a while.
People will complain about the need to IoT ALL the things, the security risks, the impracticality of something not being able to do its basic function because DNS is down, or whatever. I can't say I disagree. But I also have to admit that the most annoying aspect of my dishwasher, which is a higher-end one, is that it cannot alert me that it is done other than by playing some annoying music, which I am not close enough to hear. An SMS alert would be so helpful, and the same goes for my laundry machines, also higher-end ones. I've taken to scheduling alarms on my phone, which I need to do several times a week.
Image 43 seems to imply the missle comes with it. Sounds like a sweet deal for <$400k. Wonder why they felt the need to include that image
I don't have any issues putting dirty dishes in my dishwasher. Do you use pre-wash detergent in your machine? I highly recommend you watch this video by Technology connections[1], I too used to think I had to rinse my dishes before putting them in the machine.

That number has been increasing every year, so the OP may simply be remembering an earlier number. We didn't use to keep cars around for so long but they have gotten more reliable (and rust-proofing has made big advances). It will soon be 250K.
Super informative! Saying that I use pods and my dishes come out perfect. Might be because we do them daily so nothing is ever too crusted on.

I have trust issues with store bought extracts. There's certainly honest vendors making good product out there, but the market incentives seem to align against them.

I'm also a strong advocate of "whole herb" consumption; burn flowers (and leaf!) or at least extract them with alcohol. The whole train of chemistry works together. The pure extracts are too pure and are as one note compared to an orchestra.

Show HN: Magistrate – Plaintext legal contracts for developers
I made this because I think that if contracts were written in plain text files and managed more like software, from version control to IDEs, lawyers would work more quickly and intelligently for their clients, saving them money.

But the entire practice of transactional law is stuck on Microsoft Word. My clients are mostly technology companies with an appetite for innovation. With their encouragement, I am moving my own legal practice away from formats like Microsoft Word and into plain text.

Electronic signatures of plain text contracts is the starting point for that effort. The MVP is this developer API.

If the reception to this product is positive, I'll continue to release the products that I build. In time, my hope is that plain text will supplant Microsoft Word in the drafting, negotiation and execution of contracts.
