I love my Chevy Bolt as a (relatively) cheap city car. You'll probably be able to get one cheap once the battery recall issues are resolved. I got it for ~22k out the door new.

It's not fully disconnected, but I basically feel like it's my car. I don't pay for any subscriptions (OnStar and XM are both available), and software updates are possible OTA but not required. No cameras (as far as I know) anywhere besides the backup cam.

I'm not sure how repairable the electronics are as luckily I've never needed any non-warranty work done. There was an issue with the hands-free mics and I took it in to a local dealer and they just replaced a module under warranty.

On the downside, it's a city car. Gets 260 miles of range, but fast charge rates are outdated (55kw max) and make road tripping harder than a more modern EV.
An efficient government could figure it out from proxy data, I’m sure I could do it. A corrupt and inefficient government wouldn’t care so much about getting it wrong.

I suspect it’ll be the inefficient one. I can’t convince Google ads that I’m not 60 and not single and absolutely not into mature age dating. My non-ad blocked internet browsing experience is marred by pictures of leering grandmas. I expect my future in the fascist dictatorship will be an unpleasant one.

That's awesome! I'll have to check out your app. I am a big advocate for a three-fund low-cost index approach(1) but I acknowledge that there can be specific circumstances per investor.

May I also humbly suggest researching John Bogle, the founder of Vanguard? There is a very active investment community on https://www.bogleheads.org/forum

(1) Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund, Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund and Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund. Those three funds give a diversified exposure to the entire market. Using Vanguard (or Fidelity) is a great way to lower costs as is using a simple three-fund portfolio. The thing to avoid is the approach that many high-fee money managers use to put someone into 12-15 funds that have high loads and then rebalance monthly while they're marking up the buys and marking down the sells. I had a coworker one time realize that he was paying high five figures in fees per year to a certain unnamed popular money manager through their hidden fees.

It’s also baked into tar1090[1] which is a little more maintained of a package and pretty easy to get set up if you’ve got an SDR and 1090MHz antenna to track planes.

It’s a fun little hobby - where I live there really isn’t much of a reason to do it as there are enough other 1090MHz receivers in the area, but it still is cool when I look and see obscure jets flying overhead.

I'm not going to defend Putin or what he is doing but when you say chemical weapons you need to be very specific.

Phosphorus is a chemical weapon which is banned for use in populated areas. However it is used even by US allies.

> Are you being facetious? America has Whole Foods, Trader Joes, co-ops, etc.

I live a few blocks away from a very high quality co-op.

If I buy the most expensive eggs there, which I believe are around $9 a dozen or so, I can get something approaching the quality of an average egg in Japan.

Japanese eggs have the richness of custard. A raw Japanese egg over rice is a delicious meal all by itself.

> I know it's cool to shit on America as an American, and say everything is "better in Japan", but that's not the case. America simply has more variety -- both vastly better and vastly worse.

I didn't believe the hype about eggs in Japan myself when I first heard it, I thought no way could it be true. Then when I was in Japan I tried eggs for myself, and they are indeed that much better.

Also, better fruit in Mexico, better milk in Scotland, and many countries have better ice cream than America[1]. Lots of immigrants to America also complain that our pork is tasteless, and I think everyone is in agreement now that American chicken is just horrible and bland.

America is REALLY good at mass producing food, and up until a year or so ago, our food prices were very low compared to the rest of the developed world. But to get good food in America, you pay an insane premium. I bought some delicious oranges last week, likely the best I've ever had, but they were $5 each! Meanwhile the $1.99 a pound oranges taste like orange flavored water.

Back to Japan, their food safety and quality standards are so high that you can eat rare chicken meat. That was probably the single largest bit of culture shock I had when visiting!

Again I am sure if you go to a small family farm in America you can get chicken that clean, but not from any store or restaurant. (OK I know a few restaurants co-located with farms that could maybe pull it off.)

[1] Everyone does better pastries than America. The bog standard American cake mix is terrible. Thankfully you can get plenty of non-American style pastries in America, so that isn't an issue so long as you live in a large enough city. Annoyingly enough, for one of Whole Foods best cakes they use a different recipe if you are buying the slice VS the entire cake, by the slice it tastes awful, the entire cake however is completely different and really good!

And, from what I’ve admittedly only briefly read, they’d be right to do so. The only reason this should be acceptable is if Ukrainians are sharing intel on where Russian troops are in order to avoid them (that might break some T&Cs so I can imagine those being lifted temporarily). But not this.
I do not. I listen to all my music through Plex so I'll probably go back to ripping CD's and finding stuff on the open seas at the first sign of funny business. The nice thing about being able to download your content is Bandcamp can close and I still have what I paid for.
If anybody knows how to search the USA (or elsewhere) for the place with the highest [*] mixing height, I will give you all of my internet points and sing your praises for the rest of eternity. Here is what the mixing height looks like for a random spot in Washington State:

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?w3u=1&w13=mhgt&w13...

NOAA doesn't seem to publish any data on actual mixing height, and even these forecasted mixing heights are only available for some areas (I can't find them for anyplace in Northern California, for example).

I am extremely sensitive to air pollution and this is, by far, the number one factor that correlates with my well-being. You'd think that coastal areas mean "clean ocean air", but they also tend to have very low mixing heights (Los Angeles is an extreme example) so when the wind isn't blowing in from the ocean it's pretty bad. Desert areas have spectacularly high mixing heights during the day, but near zero at night.

[*] Technically I'm trying to optimize for the highest height of the lowest Nth percentile (for something like N=5%).

Have you seen any major changes between now and then? I looked for a linux developer laptop last year and ended up with a lenovo P1 after a previous bad experience (with power management) on an XPS13 (which I used while traveling - I don't travel now).

I didn't see any other alternatives last year vs what he's discussing. I would love to hear if there are new competitive linux-friendly laptops out there now
Is a UN resolution the appropriate standard? The General Assembly vote was non-binding, and it didn't specifically call for violence against Russian soldiers. So that seems like a shaky basis for Facebook to set content policies.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/3/un-general-assembly-...

To be clear, I support the right of Ukrainians to defend themselves against foreign aggression. I just think these constantly shifting Facebook censorship policies are ridiculous.
I feel like more granular options would be useful here like "Python with beautifulsoup" or "PHP with Guzzle".

Maybe if you're considering the "major laptop manufacturers", but I prefer my System76 laptop any day, since it comes with Linux and they support it from the get-go. Also, they write a lot of nice software that makes the Linux ecosystem better; I love Pop_OS! and how I basically don't have to futz around with getting things to work but have the power of a Debian/Ubuntu variant so I can install other things easily. I don't know off the top of my head any other companies that support Linux like this, but there are a dozen or more out there that I've seen and forgotten over the last few years. I do have to say that a Dell is a good choice for Linux as far as hardware goes, but I prefer now to support those companies that give back to the Linux ecosystem in some way.

I also think it's funny to call something a "developer laptop" as if you can't code on nearly any old piece of junk. If you do something very specialized like graphics or neural net ML perhaps, but then you're probably looking to get a workstation rather than a laptop.
Then what is the role of the guidelines?

Aren't the guidelines there to keep the community "HACKER news"? Focus on tech?

If anything goes, well, so anything goes. Nothing should be moderated. But that's not the case. Things are moderated - but with no consistency.
I think you're agreeing with the quote?

I disagree that the current headline is misleading. If the substance of the article does not justify the headline in your view that's fine, but understand that most families consider being forced to remain separated to be a prohibition on being a family.

I got one of the new 14" Macbook Pros recently and am extremely impressed by the build quality and no the whole no-more-touchbar. I don't feel as productive on it as I do my 3 year old Thinkpad X1 gen7 running Fedora, though. It's like a comfy sofa where as the Macbook is a desk chair.

If your argument is "linked list memory management is rocket science so nobody should ever do it" then please stop. You're only digging yourself deeper.

No serious linked list implementation in Rust uses Rc<Refcell<_>>. They all use either unsafe or a vector of nodes because linked lists are among the most studied data structures in all of computer science and are extremely well-understood by skilled practitioners.

The people who wrote C and Pascal for decades didn't "straight up ignore the safety aspects." This is pure projection and only makes the Rust community (which I consider myself a part of) look bad.
Well, don't we have to compare things to other things to see if they make sense ?

How come all of a sudden call for violence and death is ok ? A private company can decide who's worthy of death threats ? and everybody is ok with that ? War crimes happen every day, there are actual genocides happening right now, nobody gives a flying fuck about them, but oh god, Russia ? fuck them !!! Soon enough we'll call every Russians "monsters" for not rioting against Putin

Looks like it took two weeks for the west to fall back to the classic war time demonisation.
but part of that awkwardness is that some people send these to internal lists :)

you already bought the more forks, and it's okay to send a message to folks that now it's someone else's turn. will they listen? like you experienced, usually no. but it's not like their entitlement that their thing is more important than others' so they can take the forks is perfectly okay, even if it's the reality that we deal with. (and usually the effective way to deal with it is to bring your own fork, or have dedicated catering, or whatnot, leaving it to the community unsurprisingly usually doesn't work in a workplace.)
Private companies should not get in the business of policing content. Follow the laws of the land and that’s it.

It’s not really a foreign concept. We don’t deny somebody sunlight or air because they do something we don’t like (we as in non government entities - governments do deny people “air”). The world would be a better place if businesses operated as close to a natural resource as possible and left politics to politicians.

It’s dumb luck that sunlight isn’t provided by some corporation. Systems like that are what we should strive for.

The problem is, that's science-denial, so yes, it would be inappropriate for the teacher to say that.

Unpacking the accurate phrase "some people feel they are neither and their views should be respected" for a five year old or even an eight year old is not reasonable territory for a primary school teacher whose only training on the matter is political.
There's nothing in this article suggesting it was a hate crime. It appears to be someone with serious, untreated mental health issues.

If you need the wheel off the ground, use a jack and jack stands. Otherwise best to use ramps. I like using 2x10s to build my own ramp rather than the metal ones you can buy. Be careful about blocking the wheels, and never get under a car that is only on a jack without a jack stand or something else.
I recently checked and only 3 models of the entire Dell line-up offer Linux OS (1 model is XPS Developer edition).

Basically it seems that Dell abandoned Linux compatibility with new models.
You should introduce them to RFC 7413.
Totally agree. Coming to C++ nowadays must seem a bit odd compared to other statically typed OO languages (e.g. Java, C# or similar). For oldtimers like myself that learned coding before C++ it's a natural evolution and I can accept C++'s awkwardness as the price to pay for a multi-paradigm language that can still be used as a portable assembler (with some manual labor).

I remember the Dr Dobbs article from when it came out and I have to agree that I was still using all the old stdio.h, string.h, etc. functions. To this day streams, which was probably the first thing C programmers had to swallow, seem "unnatural", whatever that might be.

For newcomers to C++, now as well as in 1999 when the article was written, you have to really take the time to appreciate what C++ is trying to do. I switch between C#, C++ and Python and C++ programming has a certain feel to it that I think you have to learn (or be forced to) appreciate.
I largely agree--the post definitely seems to show its age, and explicitly doesn't really cover any laptops besides the Dell Precision 5540 vs. the Thinkpad P1. Not the author's fault--this is a great reason why post's dates are useful, but I think that any current review of the Linux development laptop landscape has to include options like the Framework or System76 offerings and exclude models like the x230 (no shade at the x230; I ran it as a Linux dev machine for several years, but it's now significantly handicapped for modern software development).

No, its just likely that the moral system isn't 100% consistent and that's OK in meat-based systems because any system that was 100% consistent would be horrifying, ineffective, or too complex for any meat brain to understand.
Laptops that look like today's laptops were well established by 1995. I still have a Compaq I got in 96 that still runs Windows 2000. I bought my first laptop in Akihabra in 1989, before they were widely available outside Japan. It also looked like today's laptops (was roughly the size of a notebook, uniform thickness, much thicker than its width/height), which was I recall a new thing that year. But long before that there was a gradual progression towards that "genesis-laptop" stage. There were "luggable" PCs that used display technology that wasn't LCD (gas discharge?). I remember those used by field personnel back to around 1986.
Then that would be the 100th thing they’re calling “Azov Battalion.”

Which Remote File Access Protocol Is an Extension of SSH?
Yeah this paints most of the Southwest as having a worse climate than where I live, which... yeah, for anyone who hates humidity (which is most people, I think?), that's not remotely true. I'd take 95F and bone dry over 82F and soaking-wet air, any day. Happily.
Woah this is massively cool!

I've always wanted little bits and bobs of hardware to mess around with, but actually getting into the EE required for it is fun but time consuming.

Well, try living in a country with two or more official languages. What you get is basically a random language. Anyone in those places suffers from such bad design choices.
You can also use the Qt5 backend for Lazarus, AFAIK many people use it instead of Gtk2 despite the latter being the default. One annoyance with that is that you need to either distribute or depend on the qt5pas library which acts as an intermediate between Qt and Free Pascal, but that might not be that big of a problem since AFAIK it is now available in all major distros.

About Gtk i'm not sure if it is lack of maintainers or simply lack of interest in the Gtk3+ backends, i remember a discussion from not too long ago in the mailing list where people weren't happy with the breakage introduced by Gtk every major versions. It can be very disheartening to spend years building the Gtk2 backend only to have to make a new one for Gtk3 and before that is finished, out comes Gtk4 breaking things yet again.

But IME the Gtk2 backend works fine. At least personally i wouldn't bother with Gtk3 or Gtk4 as these feel like a waste of time now (though personally i did submit a patch recently with fixes for the Gtk1.2 backend[0] that didn't work for some time now :-P but that was mainly for fun - there might be some practical use for it though as all the necessary .so files are like ~2.5MB, so perhaps it could be used for simple GUI apps on Linux to minimize external dependencies).

I mention it here to (a) explain the dupe, for anyone who saw that thread; but also (b) to tell everyone that the discussion there was unusually high-quality, so you might want to check out those comments first.

Actually, maybe we should just merge that thread into this one. I'll double check if that makes sense.

Edit: ok, I've moved the comments in here now. Some of the times are messed up, but I think it makes more sense for the comments to be in one place so readers don't have to go back and forth. Sorry for any confusion!
