> The model 3 does have windshield wiper controls on the steering wheel stalks.

Well, you can push the button on the end of the left stalk to trigger a wipe - and that causes the controls to appear as a "card" on the screen if you want to set the wipers manually.
God, if you have personal and work accounts under the same email bring on the insane pain. There is sometimes confusion on the MSFT backend (or was) in these cases and you'd get jammed into weird corners (ie, reset would do just your personal so you couldn't ever get a work account reset etc).

It's something about their federation tech vs google. Google, if you are in wrong service, nice switch account, one redirect it feels like.
The most mindbogglingly dumb part about masks on planes is that there's still meal service on longer flights, at which point everyone takes off their masks at the same time to eat the food. Are we supposed to believe that the virus takes a little nap while everyone eats, and then only goes back to spreading itself when everyone has finished eating?

Detailed rules always lead to insanity. The best way is always to be upfront about the risks, how to mitigate them, and then let people make their own risk assessment and do whatever they're comfortable with.

But instead of saying "Flying carries a risk of exposure to this virus and others, here's what you can do", we're saying "If everyone engages in this piece of safety theater, flying is perfectly safe and fun for everyone!"
I'm not worth anything.
You shouldn't expect voting to yield good decisions even if voters are individually rational [1], which they mostly aren't [2]. However, voting does have a big civil rights benefit: it lets minority groups protect themselves from the tyranny of the majority in cases where they have a strong preference one way (e.g. because their rights are being blatantly violated) and the majority has a weak preference the other way. A few percentage points one way or another can swing elections, so a sufficiently pissed-off minority can have surprising political power on the margin.

From what I can tell all this does is move the pickling process to the multiprocessing module, so it 'fixes the problem' by moving the call to pickle into the standard library (so automated code auditing tools or the dude complaining about the usage won't find it) and just removes some (useful) error handling in the process, as well as repeating the pickling process twice. It's entirely an effort to shut up the complaining and doesn't meaningfully change the security of the system at all (which was already fine).
After reading your comment, I went and read this book. Both terrifying and inspiring. Clearly illustrating two extremes, but it’s obvious in which general direction we’d rather veer. And algorithms as bosses isn’t it.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Industry Idle is cool - didn't realize you're on HN!

One of the most frustrating things about using a web stack is issues like this where you've got an embarrassingly parallel problem and you can't use threads easily.

Even in Unity non ECS, which is fairly constrained, high performance dot processing would be fairly straight forward.

I'm working on an idle web game using ClojureScript, and it's very much the other end of the spectrum. The game design is event driven and state small out of necessity.

I think the US has caught this cancerous idea that the average person can't be trusted to think for themselves. The amount of condescension in that thought process is disgraceful. They think, someone has to tell the average person how to think. And the baffling thing is that supposed liberals think that thoughts should be policed by corporations, government, and self styled intellectuals (which seems so much against what classic liberals stood for). I think Matt Taibbi said it best recently, the most dangerous lies come from government and powerful institutions. People really need to stop focusing on dumb culture war stuff like trying to cancel Joe Rogan and really think hard about if they really want a society where google and facebook and whoever screams loudest on twitter are the deciders of societal truth. I don't want that.
keeping the transaction open while the job is running is probably dubious. presumably you are using a queue because the job takes a long time to run. having long running transactions steals a scarce PG resource (connections) and also causes issues with vacuuming.
TL;DR: Someone who actually knows trains points out that the designers eliminated all the benefits of rail while designing something that requires the entire existing rail network to be changed to support it (which will never happen).

I think the biggest nail in the coffin is that they are targeting short haul lines, which are often the least maintained and require human supervision to operate on for safety and logistical reasons. For example, short haul lines use manual switches - so every time two tracks split or come together you have to have a human present.
When you always start with the hamburger to do menu things, I don't think that adds any cognitive load.

Whether it's worth it depends on the program and how often you touch the menu. For my web browser I go hours between menu uses so I prefer the space.
Just throwing my 2c into the well, as someone who used to be highly "pro-science" but lost confidence in much of academia and the validity of scientific research in general after starting a PhD and seeing how the sausage is made.

The biggest problem science is facing is not an external threat from a rabble of ignorant science deniers, but the complete degradation of quality within the scientific institutions themselves.

Most research is flawed or useless, but published anyway because it's expedient for the authors to do so. Plenty of useful or interesting angles are not investigated at all because doing so would risk invalidating the expert status of the incumbents. Of the science that is communicated to the public (much of which is complete horseshit), the scientists themselves are often complicit in the misrepresentation of their own research as it means more of those sweet, sweet grants. The net result is the polished turd that is scientific research in the 21st century.

"Educated" people can say what they want about how important it is to believe in the science and have faith in our researchers and the institutions they work for.

The fact remains that if one were to assume that every single scientific discovery of the last 25 years was complete bullshit, they'd be right more often than they were wrong.
This is not helped by the lack of scientific and logical literacy in the public at large who will cherry pick to support either position on a topic and call that "homework done".

The scientific process involves testing the accepted and pushing ideas to there extremes. The fact there is a test of 5G on mice isn't surprising, but when these show a statistically insignificant blip and it's not in the conclusion that's not "big science hiding the real truths", it's that this blip in isolation is a true statistical anomaly...
So this leads to an interesting set of problems.

High speed, or even decently fast rail, needs track that is generally less curvy, maintained to a higher standard, etc. and that costs money. European cargo networks generally don't make money because track access fees are really high, particularly, if, say, you want to use that new 250kph tunnel through the Alps that cost billions of dollars.

American freight rails are profitable, but that's because they totally shit on passenger rail. The tracks are congested, and in extremely poor shape. But that's fantastic for freight rail; a lot of what moves by freight rail doesn't necessarily need to be truly quick.

China split the difference by building a whole new high-speed passenger rail network to free up space for freight trains on the older network. This seems to work out, but China Railways has a balance sheet that would make Westerners blanche.
Just because finance is decentralized doesn't mean the law doesn't still apply. I don't know where you get that idea from. Also not sure what you mean by "dumb contracts" - crypto contracts can contain code on top of text, whereas traditional contracts can only contain text. So obviously the crypto contracts are strictly superior.
Then why did the USS Mercy which was in New York during the beginning of the pandemic only ever treat 48 patients? 77 while she was in Los Angeles.

ICUs are at max capacity all the time pre-pandemic. In fact a study done in 2013 IIRC showed that you could pick any random date and any random hospital in the U.S. and there was a 16% chance it was at max capacity.

So again, my question is this - if hospital capacity is truly a crisis, why have staffed beds been in decline since the beginning of the pandemic? Half a million healthcare workers have left their jobs since just the start of the pandemic. If this is a crisis, why isn't there any initiative to get them back? Instead the only initiative we've seen with regards to healthcare workers is massive layoffs firstly because of lockdowns, but then later also massive layoffs because of vaccinate rules.

So either this is a terrible problem with no solution, or the problem is exaggerated and it's not really a crisis.
You could be right, and as far as I can tell - that's what we've done.

But is it sustainable to lie to people in order to effect a desired (even if positive) change? How long can it go on for before people just turn off?

Maybe the answer is indefinitely. Empirically at least in my country this doesn't seem to be the case.

I've heard this been described as "pandemic fatigue", but it seems to more revolve around taking orders than believing in or being concerned about the pandemic itself.

People are willing to follow counterintuitive rules for a while, but eventually they need to understand some sort of final benefit derived.

The vast majority of people don't get "not drinking bleach fatigue" because they know it's bloody awful and that if they don't drink it, they're gone.
Oracle is floundering: their databases are no longer competitive and nobody uses their cloud voluntarily (except perhaps the free tier). The only reason they're still around is that they intentionally make it very difficult to migrate off.
So it was probably the Tesla UX designer who put the button behind the temperature indicator.
Thanks for your comment. I broadly agree with your points and find them insightful.

In particular I appreciate that you model authority as an analogue for trust, and trust as an analogue for independent verification.

I think trust is a prerequisite for successful convincing, because it is hard for human brains to overcome the emotional and relational elements of discourse, and we need to be in a receptive frame of mind. [citation needed]

We should study how authorities have built and lost trust, but I don't think we should be rebuilding those authorities using this knowledge. Instead I think focusing on how members of the public and different experts and scholars can build more diverse networks of trust relationships would create a more resilient system in the Internet age.

For example, instead of "I trust the CDC because they are an authority on disease" or "I trust Fauci on COVID because he is an immunologist", what if the common relationship was "I trust Fauci on COVID because his work on Zika and HIV was very interesting".

A related problem is what I call the 'knowledge gap'. Researchers develop a very comprehensive understanding of their chosen subjects, whereas members of the public have only a lay-person level of understanding. As experts become increasingly experienced and knowledgeable, the gap between lay-person understanding and expert comprehension grows. This means researchers are not always able to understand what a member of the public needs to know or how to explain it: how do you compress years of learning into a few minutes of talking, as part of a conversation? Good science communication skills are essential for experts if they want to develop trust relationships with members of the public, and if we as a society want to move from authority and coercion and towards education.
You need to put something in those braces. An empty initializer list is not allowed by C99 or C11. That being said, you only need to put ONE thing in there, the rest will then be initialized as you described.
Agreeing with the sibling comment, it would be much better if Uber’s CEO was their boss. S could call him every time a restaurant was late on their order, negotiate for sick pay, and ask him to help shield from the shit higher-ups are giving S. I actually think it is more disingenuous to say that the CEO is the boss than it is to say the phone is.
I'm personally am unclear of what you are asking for?

what purpose or use do you want out this, if you want a practical lecture there are ample across many topics, with no religion involved.

A sermon by its nature is one of a religious or moral nature. and is often based around not literal matters.

what do you see what your asking for looking like?

For some people democracy means letting people chose from options pre-approved by experts, because the people, in their view, can’t be trusted with being correctly informed, or coming up with useful options.
His post felt to me like he might have read it.
Is it fraud because there was zero acquisition cost? If it were the real Satoshi (let's pretend for this that Satoshi was one person and not a team at NSA), wouldn't that Satoshi also have zero acquisition cost?
I don’t think there’s nearly as much daylight between these as you’re suggesting. Just look at how current beliefs in COVID or climate science fall along political preference lines. Scientific literacy is absolutely important to express coherent preferences on how policy should address these matters.
There are lot of HN members from Argentina & Brasil.

Inflation hits the masses, or in general money supply manipulation schemes. In the last few weeks, markets tanked just because the FEDs announced they plan to increase interest rates. Is that really how we want to go on?
I think unfortunately we also need to protect science from idiots making very bad conclusions based on not understanding a paper... That's how we end up with 'bacon cures cancer' headlines in the daily fail...
Actually, I've seen that some cars will rapidly flash the brake lights a few times if the brakes are applied hard. I don't know off the top of my head which cars though.
No, because Office 365 is also the email hosting , MS Teams , Windows 10 enterprise license and management of the computer with Intune.

So you still need Office 365 for each user.

And then, why pay for 2 tools when you can pay for 1.
SPOF can be applied to the ERP company themselves. Services fail all of the time. DockerHub failed on Friday with their container API which you could argue made it impossible to know the outcome of your builds but you could still get by and pull your containers after pushing repositories. As someone who understands how I can be a single point of failure I make sure to ask for raises within reason and since I love what I do usually means at market rate. It's not like I am holding a company hostage by knowing what value I bring. Not everyone is of the persuasion of extorting their employer due to what their perceptive value is. My time is valuable but not so valuable that I price myself out of a market by my ego. To add to the backstory I have been an employee of the company for the last 4 years with never an intention of leaving nor an intention of taking advantage of any perceived leverage. Some people will disagree and say that I should advocate for more at all times. My perception is either I start my own company and build my ideas/imagination or I keep doing what I do. Why does everything have to be leverage in every situation? I live and work in the Seattle area and may not get paid the same amount as Amazon employees but I certainly get the freedom and encouragement to pursue ways of furthering the company and their future in revenue generating projects. I tend towards the I will give ample notificationt that I will be leaving and will help in making my own job automated eventually. I'd rather leave a trail of automated services than leave another set of people in the lurch because they took a chance on me. One day when I decide to leave there will be enough Go programmers around to maintain what I have built also. Either my services will run until the integrations change their API or I leave knowing that what I have built will maintain itself if I were to take sabbatical and in that case it is no longer my responsibility. The argument that a single developer is worse than a group of developer is old hat when it's clear that an entire team of developers can up and quit and be a single point of failure either in an individual company with a set of nerds or their outsourced company where all developers decide to unionize or the brain of the team leaves and the remainder of the people may be able to sustain the service or don't have the capacity to. Third party services are just as susceptible to these forces but fear should not be a driving factor to hinder the furtherance of your business.

There are different materials for locks, some of which are considerably more resistant to cutting tools.

Security devices like that are not about absolute prevention but about the time, effort, and expertise required to open them.
For some of us, the actual challenge is that all of Trump’s people lie at the drop of a hat. He hires for loyalty, not competence, and that means lying whenever necessary for his ego, and that means you’re talking to people who have no shame. How can we trust that any of this happened the way that they say it did? Isn’t this just amother puff piece to pump Jared and the other incompetent losers in Trumpworld up?

Since they were also spectacularly incompetent at getting jabs into arms — Biden had to pick up the pieces on distribution — why do they deserve the benefit of the doubt?
Android hardware is weak. UI is good, app ecosystem is weaker than Apple but more free at least.

Apple hardware is top notch, obviously. But I wish the software side was not so strictly controlled, look at the browser picture for example or in-app platforms or the shenanigans with the 30% cut.

Then small nits like:

- the alarm doesn't tell me how many hours to go when I set it

- the orange silent button is an abomination that needs to go. With Apple's focus on not having any buttons I have no idea why it has lasted this long

- the volume settings make no sense in the way that Android's make sense

So basically I'd like some wizard to take both of those phone systems, throw them in a cauldron, stir them together, throw away the slag, and sprinkle in some extra goodness. Ahhh some day maybe ...
Lotta people make this mistake. They think Notion, or Google Sheets, or Slides is the only tool they need. In truth they need all three, depending on the task at hand.

Lots of product managers seem only capable of thinking in slides when Notion would be better for documentation. I've received 500 pages of content for review written into CSV file for some insane reason. And yes, I've seen people struggle to run mathematical models in Notion when Excel is right there.

I try and remind people not to use a hammer when you need a screwdriver, but sometimes that's all they know.
I haven't commented/been upvoted enough to be allowed to downvote, and it is honestly quite liberating and lets me focus on elevating what I think are positive contributions.

Umm windows and office?

Great article, I still think that with thousands of amazing engineers in microsoft, they need to simplify 2 things.
Focus on using 1 thing, then reiterate to make it better, i.e: why is there teams and skype? then there's teams for business, teams for personal, skype for business. Also teams app is built on angular instead of xamarin? I heard that teams of engineers within MS are free to choose any tech that they want. If they had chosen xamarin since the beginning (now MAUI), wouldn't it made xamarin much less buggy?
It seems like every teams are going on different directions with different managements. you don't see that on apple (pushing swift everywhere), facebook is also using react for almost all their internal apps.

Second thing is it's so hard to make your voice heard in MS that most people just gave up lol. I have this bluetooth issue on windows 11 where my bluetooth speaker produce no sound after receiving call from teams. I have to reconnect every couple of hours. I've had it for 4 months, and I don't know where to give feedback at all (feedback hub is useless) other than asking strangers on reddit. If you have 96k engineers around the world, can't you assign at least 5-6 PM that focuses on consumer satisfaction, engineering excellence, or at least have a bug bash once in a while.

Again i'm not sure what's happening inside the company, maybe i'm to judgy, but at this point a lot of people are feeling the same way
That's assuming 100% of everything you earn is saved. Cost of living is high in Seattle. You're also in a higher tax bracket. How much of that income will you actually be saving?

If prices remain fixed, after ten years, you have about 25% equity in your home (not including the down payment, which makes it closer to 40-50%). Assuming the housing market keeps going up, then maybe you'll be a millionaire by this point with just your home equity.

But this assumes you aren't renting. You first have to put up $200k liquid for the down payment. New hires won't have this right away, and the housing market will keep getting more expensive in a world where "home equity makes you a millionaire".

I'd still wager that only the most frugal will become millionaires within ten years.

Amazon isn't some magical entity making it happen either. You could attempt this strategy with any engineering job in Seattle.
This is often people not understanding the technical details of the science so fall for the logical mistake of "person on YouTube explained it so simply it must be true"... Obviously this isn't helped when the people who are supposed to be trustworthy and unbiased in presenting the science to people are repeatedly caught lying that drives people to that simpler world view.
Why a 2D array makes sense: many people using multiplexers like this seem to use them in a 2x2 or 3x3 grid. You could easily represent panes like that by making an HTML-like grid where each row and column contains a number of which pane it belongs to.

As for why trees seem to be a novel concept: the code is written in Rust, and tree algorithms specifically are hard to do in the traditional way (pointers to pointers being moved around) without unsafe code. While you're at it, you may just as well explain trees I guess.

Of course Rust trees can be done, but the resulting data structure is often unwieldy and ugly. When I'm writing Rust, I tend to avoid writing structures like that because I don't want to deal with Box<Arc<RefCell<X>>> or whatever the correct type is for writing mutable tree structures.
