I don't think cutting me off without a turn signal has any logic other than "me me me to the red light first!" If I can get them to have a reaction like "jesus Christ, calm the fuck down" then I am a happy camper. Again there are honest mistakes, and clearly asshole illegal behavior that drivers do like speeding like crazy, cutting people off, weaving through the freeway like a snake, running reds, cutting into lanes and blocking traffic because you must get to the turn lane at the last possible moment before there is a barrier, and willfully ignoring signage like no turns on reds. I'm also not embarrassed about calling out drivers as a pedestrian. Why would I be? I do it when have right of way and they don't and they had the audacity to honk at me for walking when the walk sign is lit. It's fun to call out assholes. I love shouting at them, so satisfying.
TLDR

- everything is signal, even/especially noise in aggregate
- engineers are particularly subject to blind spots
- know yourself
- ymmv

From what I read on their website, web containers cannot run Linux binaries or compile c code or run python scripts / bash etc. - for example?
This can absolutely be done. But it's hard work and you have to be very self-sufficient. I've done quite well for myself with my farm as a side project but I can weld, program, do HVAC, mechanic work on out machines, pluming and building upkeep. Then you also have to be able to farm, and to top that off, you have to be ready to work when it's time, which is not unlike tech but you also won't have a backup for your oncall rotation.

I spent Christmas afternoon in the snow digging drainage ditches around a new field after a water retention pond burm broke and started washing seed out of the field. Because it was so wet, we couldn't move any machines into the field so myself and father in law dug the basics by hand with shovels around the whole field.

It's not just something you do cause you watched a YouTube video. It takes a certain type of person. It's not unlike bootstraping any other startup.
I'm very impressed with your ycombinator skills.
That’s a great categorization.

I’ve accepted a job through a very good internal recruiter once in 2015.

I can distinguish between a 2 and a 3 in a 5 minute phone call.

I don’t understand all the hate about recruiters. I cut off the bad ones and the folks left are great. The overhead is quite low.
I went looking, and seems I have to walk my claim back somewhat. Wide issue OoO processors hide a lot of the overhead but not all of it.
It’s an expression of distrust.

If you ever work in government, procurement people think like that because their goal is objective competitive process that that meets the minimum standard to fulfill the purpose.

There’s a certain logic to it. You don’t want to see random government employees driving around in Teslas, so generally speaking they will be in nondescript 4-door sedans. Having a human say “no” makes them accountable, so a complex process will determine what kind of car you need.

Taken to extreme, it becomes a problem. Procurement officers get lazy and focus on their process instead of the needs of the customer. So they treat humans like Ford Tauruses and allow vendors who understand how to game the process walk out the door with millions.
Right, but that only runs in browsers? Is there a standalone executable or can I embed it in a non-js-language?
Needing to go to an internal page or create a custom shortcut to even see the feature exists has always been the problem, combined with the poor profile switching UI once you do know it exists. In Chrome it's an inherent part of the browser UI and the browser not only shows it to you but explains to you how to use them. Remember 2/3 of Firefox users don't even have an extension, expecting them to just accept this as the answer is laughable.

I've always felt Chrome was missing proper containers and Firefox was missing proper profiles.
The article claimed that mandating vaccines for convalescents doesn't make sense since it's been shown that they don't benefit.

Parent said that this argument is so fatally flawed... because people died? I couldn't quite follow.

The article is "why I'm for vaccines but against vaccine mandates", so that's what the discussion is about.

We've done something like 10B doses worldwide. A massive proportion of the population has had exposure via vaccine and/or infection. Mandates are an odious, blunt instrument, especially when there are so few remaining naive hosts.
To be fair, the user is getting a pretty amazing map/gps program.

It it worth it? Are they completely upfront about the data they’re harvesting?

You can opt out. Stand alone gps is still available. Open Street maps is an amazing open source program too.

My car has a 2010 gps. It works. It’s not great but it’s gets you close. In some ways I miss my old Tom Tom. It had the mr. T voice yelling at me where to go.
- Engine control - unnecessary, cars ran for 100 years without it.

- Brakes work perfectly well without computers.

- Airbags don't need computers, they work perfectly well by mechanical means.

- Power steering works perfectly without computers or any electrical stuff at all. Every car I've ever owned had mechanical power steering without any fancy electroics including my latest one. Why tamper with something that works perfectly well?

- Engine starter? Cars have had starter motors since just after the hand crank era, computers were still nearly 100 years away when starter motors were introduced.

- Automatic windows are a damn menace, they are reliably unreliable. When one failed - fortunately the driver's side - I had my garage man retrofit a traditional hand windup one. On the three remaining windows I got him isolate them so they only worked on their own individual switches.

- Mechanical intermittent wipers have been around since at least WWII. No computers or electronics to go wrong and complicate matters.

- Central locking on my last two cars has been a disaster. You obviously have never experienced a situation where the locking gets out of sync and some doors remain unlocked - unlock the others and then the unlocked ones lock and vice versa. It's a nightmare, any attempt to properly lock the car fails.

- Where I live alarm system are likely to get a brick through your windscreen - not from burglars but rather from annoyed residents who are fed up with car alarm noise.

- Automatic lights are another menace, you often can't control them, they switch off when you want to leave the lights and so on. The people who design and program their operation clearly don't use them except in the most tame surroundings.

All this gumph is unnecessary, it makes car less reliable and more expensive to both purchase and fix - and they're impossible to fix when you're in places where there's no service mechanic or garage (out on the open road for instance - I've some excellent instances from long trips 3,000 - 4,000 miles of cars in convoy on rough roads. Cars with all these unnecessary gadgets were, without fail, the first to break down. And they were a disaster because none of us techies could improvise in the usual manner as we could do with a more traditional car. Often we could be stranded for days whilst we waited for a tow truck to come from hundreds of miles away. Moreover, that's hellishly expensive.

You people are just gadget mad.
This seems a bit weird as containers still share history and other data between them. I get that they're not supposed to replace profiles, but this feature seems more suited to a per-profile basis than per-container because of said leakage. Of course, you can already do per-profile VPNs via split tunneling and a --profile specifier on startup, but it'd be nice to have a better UI within Firefox itself for the idea.
As someone who works for a remote company, I'm excited by the idea of more casual communication tools. Creating a zoom room and sending an invite just feels so.. formal.

With that said, I'd love it if there was a quick, real life demo on the site to show how this tool actually works, i'd guess that it would help more with conversion than an animated GIF.

All the best.
Nice! Thank you for extracting that. I missed it.
> How many meters are done on a track each year, compared to public roads? I'd wager most people have never even set foot on a track. Cases like that should have absolutely no bearing on policy making.

It absolutely should have a bearing as you are essentially arguing that those cases you should be illegal & banned. You can't ban something and then argue that "well, not many people were doing it anyway, so we can ignore it even though we're banning it."

Your policy impacts it, therefore your policy must account for it. Even if that account is to decide that the impact is justified, you are making significant changes to things outside of your stated & claimed goal.

> And emergency is always used as am excuse as well to not limit car use or rebuild streets.

I did no such thing?

All I said is there needs to be an 'off' switch, just like there is for traction control in the majority of vehicles today. The overwhelming majority of people leave it enabled (as that's the default), and the world is better. Rules don't need to be black & white to have broad societal improvements.

> It's always people shouting "you can't ban cars here, think of the disabled", when the truth is that getting rid of most of the cars and building better infrastructure would make their day easier.

Except you were arguing that cars should be banned for uses outside of being on the road as part of normal traffic. As in, your "rule" wasn't improving your hypothetical excuse situation here. It was instead making it the only legal usage of a vehicle, to compete with mass transit.
The only things 99% of people used PCMCIA for were networking (modems, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi) and once that got built in people didn't really need slots. The long tail of I/O is now handled by USB/Thunderbolt dongles.
Thanks, that's extremely interesting.

I will graduate with a bachelors in electrical engineering with a minor in Russian this coming August. I have hardware experience, including low level software experience. I worked in labs doing bioimaging and satellite work. Interned once in the utilities, then interned elsewhere writing assembly. Learned most electronics skills from working on synthesizer circuits. Looking for a first job that will challenge me, please reach out if you think I could be a good addition to your team!
I definitely agree with you. I would further argue that the "analyst mentality" has become so engrossed in the foundation of capitalism(and always has been, really) that we see companies across many industries closing down due to the "worker shortage". When in reality the CEO's of the companies complaining the loudest that "no one wants to work" have decided that paying living wages in a deeply competitive job market is less doable than letting the company totally stagnate and dissolve due to lack of people willing to work hard for pennies.
State backed company targeting U.S infrastructure to pawn exploits off of.

Sounds like Terrorism/National Security Threat to me. But aren't they an Ally of U.S? I wonder what reaction the Americans would have if it was Iran attempting this.

On the same day as the Amnesty report officially charging Israel with the crime of Apartheid? Crazy day for the shining beacon of democracy.

Being the standard for the lsat 7 years strikes me as a good reason.
And Chinese politics seems to be even more difficult to talk about than Europe, and that's not even accounting for the fact it doesn't have democratic elections and has a one party system.

From the little I understand, it's complex and dynamic and opaque to the point that current scholars and US government entities studying China have difficulty explaining it; I'm not even going to try.

This is again a money play here, after all everything is a money play.

Iron Beam (this system) is designed to intercept simple rockets, artillery, and etc for cheap. The total cost per shot is estimated at 2000USD overall (including life cycle of the parts, laser, etc) compared to 100000USD for Iron Dome missile alone. It is even more for more advanced stuff like Arrow 2, Arrow 3, or David's Sling (all, including Irom Dome, of which have greater range and capability than the Iron Beam).

The issue with your system is cost.

The rockets that Iran is supplying are unguided ballistic rockets. Artillery is also unguided and ballistic. These are super cheap so its easy and economical to fire a lot of them. This is why Israel wants Iron Beam cause its much cheaper then Iron Dome.

Now lets focus on your solution. The missiles now will need advanced guidance system, maneuvering capabilities (mid course correction, path adjustment), radar and IR warning receivers, and other advanced electronics. None of which are cheap. These components also add weight to the missile, which means bigger missile and more fuel, which adds to the cost of the missile. The need to carry fuel for mid flight adjustment also means heavier missile, which means bigger missile, which means more expensive missile. So your cost per missiles goes up hell of a lot. So now you are limited to the number you can field against Israel. Now its worth it to throw up an Iron Dome against you or possibly an Arrow 2, both which are guided missiles interceptors.

EDIT: Example of the rockets that the Iron Beam is designed to intercept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajr-5
Ask HN: What are some good open-source Mac apps you can't live without?
Hi, I think a question of this kind has appeared before. As both open source contributor and Mac users myself, I have tried many open sources apps and there are a few I find quite essential. Therefore I have curated https://oss.wiki/ to easily find and filter apps based on tech stack and topic.

A few apps I can't live without are:

- Rectangle: window manager

- Pika: color picker

- Kap: screen recorder

- Insomnia: Rest API testing

- Itsycal: calendar

- iTerm2: terminal

Would love to get to know more apps and I would love to add them to the list to spread the words
So many ifs. Look, even if you pass the school zone, kids play around. In rural areas, this is very common. Yeah, you could go at the speed limit, but people are just careful or make a judgment call.
When I integrated with SAP it wasn't much fun, the only worse integration I've done was Oracle. Think it took about 3 months of development on and off, a lot of that was trying to find and then understand the documentation. Then after that there's the verification process and other non-dev stuff.

Why should 0 be a “boring” value in an enum?
I don’t think this true if you are already near top of band (very lucky place to be in). Right now I have golden handcuffs and just ignore almost all recruiters because I know only a few select big companies (plus quant) can match my pay.

Startups are a bit more hit or miss though, and if they are small enough they probably won’t even have pay bands. You need to do more due diligence there
That's the same as saying that the speed limit (on freeways) is wrong because if everyone obeyed the speed limit, it would cause significant traffic congestion. In fact, you can see this when there IS a police officer driving the speed limit on the freeway and no one passes them. Traffic backs up for miles.
Just throwing in my experience here. Come down to Southern California. The rolling stop is everywhere. Not so much in SF Bay Area where I grew up. People get irritated if you drive the speed limit and make full stops. Especially at 4 way stop signs, I often feel like people are confused by a full stop, lol.

I am also an FSD beta user, and I have my car set to standard assertiveness and it does not roll through stops.

And, one last comment on the vision of the car - it’s a whole different beast with the new fsd beta code. The highway autopilot code is not safe on the streets and until you see the fsd beta code at work, it’s easy to think that it will perform poorly on local roads. Yes, it can do stupid things and cause anaccident, but not in the way the autopilot code will. It’s different.
I always wonder if someone will eventually put Docker container up on the browser. It will make tons of experimentation work easy.
You can do it, but get _good_ earplugs and nor for more than a few minutes!

Can you run containers in webvm?
Self driving will always be dangerous unless overall traffic infrastructure is updated.

I prefer to have the computers work for people, rather than the other way around.

Fixing the Live Coding Exercise
So this offers capabilities like `multiprocessing` but possibly across the network, e.g. queues and shared memory? Can it spawn the remote processes too? With SSH, or its own system?

You keep pointing me to that document that you feel is compelling, but all it does is explicitly run a Python function in a local thread... I know it's meant as a shortcut in the example but it's hard to infer what the real capabilities are, when what you're doing is not much more than what `trio` or stdlib can do.

If they can’t be bothered to read the all-caps text stating I don’t wish to be contacted, then yes, they are lazy.

If they read it and contact me anyway? Then they’re disrespectful of my wishes and not worth my time. But I’ll concede that isn’t lazy!
It's also a good example of perverse incentives or "gaming the metrics" (in a horrifying way). If the main measure of success was body count, and every kill was considered an enemy by default, this encouraged just killing people and counting them as successes.

Totally illogical supposition. I'll bet a lot more taxi drivers have rescued people in trouble than assaulted them, a young female relative of mine was rescued by a passing taxi driver from a dicey situation outside Sheperds Bush tube station.
The chances of thugs standing in front of future driverless vehicles like highway robbers to stop them is very high, especially if the predators can see their prey has something of value to them
