And yet, they still haven't come anywhere near what Inbox achieved in terms of usability.

Completely ridiculous, and yet predictable.
Wow yeah it exits if I click no thanks. I've always kept scanning off.
Point is everyone had a slightly different 150 LOC or a library to achieve essentially the same thing.

We could have stuck with ‘if index is not equal to minus one’ but we have array includes now for the same reason.
This guy seems higher than me right now.. and that’s saying something.
It is significantly more predictable, though. If I switch on my Windows computer to do some work, say, for a deadline, it's out of my control what happens next. If I'm unlucky, there's literally nothing I can do to make the computer functional and meet the deadline because it's stuck updating something.

Linux has warts, but being able to switch on your computer and definitely use it is pretty important.

That article may be overstating the danger somewhat, it will depend on the way the ROM chooses to implement it certainly but none of them give the permission automatically, some require you to enable it deep in the advanced app settings and some only enable it for system-level privileged apps (and if you can't trust those, then what can you trust?). See for instance LineageOS for MicroG's claims:

>The signature spoofing could be an unsafe feature only if the user blindly gives any permission to any app, as this permission can't be obtained automatically by the apps.
Moreover, to further strengthen the security of our ROM, we modified the signature spoofing permission so that only system privileged apps can obtain it, and no security threat is posed to our users.

Seeing how awful the gig economy is for every worker driver, deliver person, etc... absolutely not.
All designs help those in power
To even have "static typing" in Python, you need type hints. Your example with using mypy is basically an optional static analysis step before running the code.

What I am getting at is this: everything is converging towards new, statically typed Python. "Optional" features are no more optional when majority is pushed towards "professional developing using type hints".

"I'm not sure what you mean by 'tracking the changes'--Could you elaborate on that?"

I meant that the language has accumulated too many features as of late. So it's hard to keep track of them, regardless of typing changes.

"There's also the obvious comparison to Typescript, which is widely heralded as a massive improvement to Javascript"

Please, Javascript is not Python. If Microsoft wants to mess with Python, at least let them fork it and call it differently.

"Overall, your points read more like resisting change for the sake of resisting change than substantive issues with the system."

There is a difference between ressisting any change, and ressisting a harmful change. I consider the current trends around changing Python harmful.

This is meant to be constructive feedback: This almost looks like it's supposed to be a game for kids. I'm not seeing how it'll help me. I know it's intended to allow me to work with my remote team easier, but I don't see how exactly. I picked up something about rooms and possibly screen sharing (It gave me vibes of someone seeing my screen on demand though - I hope not?)

This "Present your authentic self" bit, showing a cartoon emoji; what is the appeal? Am I supposed to make a cartoon of myself? Do I have to?

Sorry if I could answer these myself if I read more. I suppose my feedback is that I don't want to read more because what I've seen isn't compelling enough.

Having said that, I'm glad to see work is being done in this space. Good luck pressing forward – there's a ton of progress to be made and real productivity gains to uncover.
I concur that the term "shaping public opinion" is more accurate in many cases, but not in others. There are enough stories where the author clearly understood something about the story and attempted to convey something else to the reader for political/cultural effect. For example, not reporting on the race of a black perpetrator but always reporting on the race of a black victim.

There is a less activist way of presenting the news that doesn't attempt to "shape public opinion". I'm old enough to remember Walter Cronkite. I've read (some of) Manufacturing Consent. Today's media in America (almost all of it, NYT being no exception) heavily shapes public opinion, turning news reporting into a political battleground.
Are there ANY alternatives to the live traffic data that Google Maps or Waze collect and provide? I know how to get around but I want to make sure that I don't get stuck on the highway. I have been looking for an alternative for many years.
Can confirm from personal experience in crosswalks with self driving cars: cruise is the most timid (read safest!) of the self driving cars being tested in SF IMHO. Cruise will proactively alter trajectory (such as deceleration) for pedestrians and cyclists at a noticeably earlier threshold than Waymo. This is much more pleasant for everyone surrounding the vehicle as it clearly expresses that you have been recognized as a being needing space.

The Palestinians? They have not made it clear at all. TMany people living in Gaza, one of the poorest, unsafe, strips of land with the least amount of autonomy or basic human respect given, don’t have time and energy to focus on a goal of utterly conquering and pushing Israel to the sea. I assume this implies killing all Israelis too?

Quite a statement to make about the vast majority of Gaza citizens that can barely survive.

—

> Either you can afford the defenses you need to exist, or you can't and you stop existing.

In no world could Palestine ever stop Israel from existing either. Like:
- Kurds or Armenians can’t wipe out Turkey.
- Yemenese rebels (Houthi) can’t wipe out Saudi Arabia.
- Uyghur’s or Tibet or Hong Kong or Taiwan can’t wipe out China.
- Ukraine or Georgia or Bosnia or Crimea can’t wipe out Russia.
- Kosovo can’t wipe out Serbia.
- Pakistan can’t wipe out India.
- IRA or Ireland can’t wipe out Britain.

Israel is a beautiful place. I enjoyed Tel Aviv quite a bit. I certainly don’t want Israel going anywhere :)
If you're on linux and planning to get two dual monitors, go for 2560x1440 instead of 4k ( fractional scaling works on latest distro's but it's not that great )

I have a 38inch Alienware AW3821DW and two 4k dell monitors. I have the ultrawide in middle, other two on both sides oriented vertically, this config gives a lot of work space with moderate head movement.

They were spun off when Softbank invested. There's SEC filings on it.
None, because you can't get around markets even if you try to regulate them out of existence. As seen in the article countries with good unemployment benefits also have higher rates of unemployment during normal times. And don't forget every job being outsourced to China/Vietnam/Africa.

If you confiscated all of Jeff Bezos' net worth you'd get something like $1000 for each American, once.

The way to help the working class is to ensure economic growth happens, because a rising tide lifts all boats.
Do you think your experience of congestion would be improved by everyone driving private vehicles instead? Not sure I follow the logic here.
[EDIT] - Ignore. The article summary and the article are unrelated so my comment is unrelated.

I can't read beyond the summary, but this is true in my experience:

> Its hastly designed scheme sent much of its relief money to people who didn't need it

My neighbor's granddaughter (age 18 or so) got relief money to the tune of more than she had ever earned in her life. She got purses. Many of them.

My wife's friend got relief money atop unemployment. She was a waitress and stopped working during the time and she was making more than she could if she was working.

A buddy's friend's work strategically cut hours so employees could get the relief checks atop their pay for a net pay increase.

On the other side, my dad's work dried up and he was able to stretch things due to the checks.

> I figured it was because they were secure that there would always be more food

I’ve lived with quite a few different cats in my day. It’s simply the individual cat. Some cats overeat if allowed, some don’t. It’s certainly nice when you have one that doesn’t, but it’s nothing you did if you have one that does.
I just don't buy that line of thinking at all. If that is truly their goal, there are way easier and subtle ways to do it without causing a collapse in political capital for the parties and politicians involved, which the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars did.
That's been around for quite a long time, at least the late 1960's.

> A multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) is an exoatmospheric ballistic missile payload containing several warheads, each capable of being aimed to hit a different target. The concept is almost invariably associated with intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying thermonuclear warheads, even if not strictly being limited to them.

Google = Garbage.
I don't recommend using any of their services.
For a maps replacement, I'd recommend OsmAnd or Magic Earth - both available on f-droid.
Eh, I mean I get it JS lacks a real standard library but at the same time you don't see HN fill up with people saying C is all over the place because when they went to implement an HTTP call glib doesn't mirror libuv or C++ is all over the place because POCO doesn't mirror Boost and so on.

The "all over the place"-ness tends to come more from people who act like changing to a newer library is the only way to code something new not from the lack of JS forcing a single API be used across every app regardless of type.
I still don't know what is meant by "when children are present". On the sidewalk? In the playground? In the classroom?
I always wondered why the rejection of lidar by Tesla. My guess is that it is more about profitability/availability than anything else. Just because humans use eyeballs doesn't mean that it is the best bet for a computer. This sort of naturalistic fallacy led people to believe (~130 years ago and beyond) that the ideal flying machines would have flapping wings because, well, birds have wings and that is how they fly.

Maybe I'm just salty my 2021 Model Y had lidar stripped out of it, and to me the more tech toys the better. Not that it matters because Tesla FSD is a scam and I wouldn't use it even if it came for free with the car.

Are they? Who has the best bunkers? Who has dedicated aircraft you can live in permanently?
A lot of the appeal of a homestead/van/tiny-home life is learning that you can live with less. We don't need the fancy car, the restaurants, the grocery stores, the movie theaters, the bars, or the modern traps. When I watch a homesteader I'm filled with a bit of relaxation "They can do it so I could too!" "I don't NEED this job!" "If it all falls apart I'll still survive."

But in the end, you are giving up a LOT! We may not NEED it, but we sure WANT it. The hard part is letting go of those attachments. But in the end we need to be realistic with ourselves. Did we give them up because we want to be free? Or are we just chaining ourselves to a new thing that we don't love.

Homesteading is inefficient, dirty, painful, unhealthy, and stressful. Most fail horribly. Even among those in history who were do or die, a lot starved or froze to death trying it. The common factor among those who succeed is planning and MONEY. Most successful farms and homesteads start with huge quantities of money that they bleed profusely in the first couple years before becoming profitable. To succeed without money means hustling for every dollar and working 16 hour days 7 days a week.
I'm a former software engineer (way former, like 20 years ago) and current tax attorney -- call myself a "tax technologist." Looking to work on any projects at the intersection of the two.
Nope. There are two big problems with moving software from the freelance/contractor model to the gig model.

1. Problem definition. Getting a business problem to the point of just sitting down and solving it like it’s leetcode is really hard. That’s a big chunk of the job of software engineers. (Side note, I think most software engineers would be better served by considering these tasks separately. Write the problem then read it). Other gig work is much more clear. I’m at home and I want to be at the airport. I want this list of groceries. I want my apartment cleaned.

2. Order of magnitudes differences in time between projects and between abilities on the same projects. I have a good idea how long it takes to get my groceries, let’s say within a factor of 2. Can someone estimate that accurately on a problem they don’t know how to solve? Even on one they think they could solve but haven’t solved yet? My experience points to no. It’s still an issue even if you charge by the hour. Come in under time and my fixed opportunity costs of finding this job don’t get amoritized properly. Go over and even if I get paid they might leave a bad review. On the client side, how do I know the problem is 10x bigger than I thought and not that the dev is 10x slower? I hope it’s uncontroversial that the performance distribution on software engineering is much greater than that of driving.

I do expect at least some companies will hit L4 within the decade(?) but it's going to be under limited conditions that won't include urban driving. Which could actually be a very useful capability but isn't the "don't own a car" future that some really are focused on.

------

Level 4 _ High Automation

System capability: The car can operate without human input or oversight but only under select conditions defined by factors such as road type or geographic area. • Driver involvement: In a shared car restricted to a defined area, there may not be any. But in a privately owned Level 4 car, the driver might manage all driving duties on surface streets then become a passenger as the car enters a highway.

Example: Google’s now-defunct Firefly pod-car prototype, which had neither pedals nor a steering wheel and was restricted to a top speed of 25 mph.
