The UI of the dashboard alone would be an impressive feat for a single person.

The algorithm that chooses the most likely/useful application for infinite possible combinations of modules would be an impressive feat for a single person.

The multidisciplinary coding required to get all of these pieces to work together in a hot-swap way would be an impressive feat for a single person.

The design and implementation of a single physical connection interface that can adapt or carry all these different protocols (USB, HDMI, etc) would be an impressive feat for a single person.

Not to mention the PCB design, 3D enclosure design, machine learning proficiency, aesthetic product design chops, and on and on.

All together, this is unbelievable. This is 0.01% level stuff. Mozart, Musk, Melville. Somewhere in that neighborhood.
Hi all! Some background on the project: I want to build a house someday, and the first step is deciding where to build. I knew an interactive map like this would be useful, but after fiddling with leaflet.js for a while and googling for climate data, I felt a bit lost. So I decided to try something new: I hired a contractor on Upwork who had experience with map visualizations. They built an MVP within a few weeks, and from there I was able to tweak and optimize the code to my liking. I think this is a great strategy for side projects that you're too busy for. :)

It's still mostly a toy at this point, but I'd like to add more knobs and data so that I can narrow down the best place to live (and hopefully help other people do the same). If you want to contribute, the code is open source: https://github.com/lukechampine/goldilocks

The site weighs about 1.6 MB (gzipped -- the full climate data is ~35 MB uncompressed!) and is hosted on a Linode, which seems to be holding up pretty well.

Also, a big thank you to those in the comments who shared links to similar projects! The "pleasant places" map is super close to what I want. Ideally this project would look something like that, but with the ability to select your own preferences for what constitutes a "perfect" day.
Challenging the Single-Responsibility-Principle
Yeah, I think IF (and that's not a huge if) L-Sulfer, Solid State, etc pan out, then the conversion kits may get super cheap, or a flood of cheaper cars without the blings and bloops will hit the market.

Right now the price point of EVs is in the Luxury segment, and these people have never cared about the long term aspects of car ownership. Old cars are low status cars, so they unload them.

The drivetrain cost of EVs is probably under ICE in Tesla (they aren't pricing them like that, they are milking the market right now), and probably will in main auto in a few years, and it will plummet from there as economies of scale hit the OEM component makers. EVs are just batteries, 1-4 motors, and a control. system. Brakes for extra stopping power over regenerative braking if you want.

So the lower end will start to blossom in the next few years.

A lot of right to repair is to keep it under warranty. That's a legit antitrust concern between everyman mechanic and the auto makers. After warranty, if there's enough cars, there will be people that can fix them. And again, it's less components.
Live in SF and also wish we had warmer nights, but I figure in about 10 years with global warming it'll be about right...
We have some Lenovo ThinkPad X1 laptops that disobey the long-press. They get stuck in a state where they are turned on but appear off and nothing works. The only way to get them out of that state is the reset hole. Supposedly it's a motherboard fault, but they've replaced the motherboards repeatedly and it still happens.
>Again, it is a choice, and the fact that you choose the better option doesn't mean it's not a choice.

What's the choice? I don't have any idea what you mean
I picked it up on Splice starting around Christmas. Great low-cost way to try it, seems fairly catch-free. (The only real downside I could tell, was if you stop subscribing, and they no longer offer it, then you could lose out on your "investment" vs completing the purchase. Perhaps licensing across computers or running their software, but it doesn't seem worse/more invasive than any typical audio DRM.)

The Vocoder is so fun to play with! A lot of great sounds in there, I gotta spend some more time with it!
Absolutely. One of my buddies who's 25+ years older than me mused "man, it blows my mind that you kids can buy cars that will go over 100,000 miles without any serious maintenance"

The Ford Model-T was obviously much simpler than modern cars, but it also didn't have airbags that needed to be replaced after a fender bender. That doesn't make the new cars inferior to the Model T. Just different.

The more complex engineering brings benefits; some of the benefits are worth the added complexity, but others are not. (Not to mention it, "worth it" to whom... the customer, manufacturer, or society as a whole...)
How does it compare to synergy?
The US government exists solely to deal with international matters and to protect state and individual rights. The powers given to the government by the states are pursuant to those needs.

That is not libertarian extremism. That is historical fact.

If the states thought their way of life was secure from violence perpetrated by other states or nations none of them would have ratified the Constitution. A central government was seen as a necessary evil to prevent foreign invasion. Even then it took considerable effort to convince states a central government was necessary.
Some other top picks come to mind:

May history judge the West harshly and these actions be a reminder to it that it has zero moral credibility to project upon the world.

Also if you have any Russian acquaintances, now would be the time to make sure your attic is in good shape because we are a very short step from the Stop Putin Camps being deployed.
The electronic-based acceleration pedal started malfunctioning in my car merely 4 years after purchase, and required a fairly costly repair... Maybe I was unlucky.
Many networks also block AAAA DNS, because middleboxes are stupid. That doesn't mean it's OK for libc not to implement AAAA.
Something controls the software that would ask for instructions, and that could be hacked. I'd also suggest a default of auto-reject after a minute, not auto-accept.

When people think about attack surfaces in devices they often think about the things making repeated connections out. The thing is, every piece of reachable mutable code in the device is an attack surface, not just the software making connections.

You may have heard of ATM car collectors that attach to real ATMs, or people that have hacked an ATM to collect cards. Your smart car connects to a number of systems throughout its life: your dealer's diagnostics, every time you charge, every time you play music through the bluetooth connection on your phone. Each one of these is a potential attack vector.

Let's say one of these things is using JAVA, and somehow does not have an updated log4j [1]. Now that thing can be used to compromise other subsystems of your car. And these attack vectors do not have the antivirus and other protections your desktop computer or laptop do.

As bizarre and backward as it sounds, I think the best bet is burned immutable firmware on a physical module that can be easily swapped out by an authorized dealer (or with a key of some sort to allow people to service their own cars). This would reduce the vulnerability quite a bit, though not eliminate it. It also would eliminate over the air firmware updates, which are insane in my opinion. It's kind of how if you want a more secure computer you burn a live CD with a minimal hardened distro of linux, rip out the hard drive, make sure you have a fast CD, and have the computer boot to CD. This is part of what I used to do for a DMZ PC. There's always a risk your firmware will be hacked, but that is harder, and can be checked on startup depending on what you have on the system [2].

I think you missed the point.

Everybody would be fine if FB users would use FB to coordinate resistance (poor choice IMHO but that's not the point), even if this increased coordination would result in inflicted casualties.

This is a very different thing to allow anyone to call for murder of anyone, regardless of the victim wearing a uniform with a specific flag.

What next ? Shall "we" decide geneva convention does not hold for russians ?
Why is that an issue? Palestine is not Ukraine, after all.
Hey, I had the same issue and variations of it (french category titles, german content and english menus). Also Swiss German with English setup. I actually managed to solve it with some unintuitive language settings.

// Edit:

Okay so the issue can be resolved as follows (Windows 10):
Windows Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Preferred Languages -> Order it so that "English (United States)" is at the top

I previsouly had "English (Switzerland)" at the top. This order influences the "Apps & websites" setting at the top there.

With "English (Switzerland)" my section headings in the Store were French, e.g. "Films et TV" but with "English (United States)" at the top I get "Movies & TV". Of course the section headings, callouts, etc. otherwise are still a mixture of your MS Store region (German in my case) and the Windows display language (English in my case).

Why "English (Switzerland)" would result in French... I don't know.
It's been 5 years or so since the idea was mentioned in the parliament, but I've made an accent on the word "yet" for this reason.
I think holding the citizens of a country responsible for the actions of the government of their country is not completely unreasonable.
They need to make money and they can’t do so if people are putting their money into boring, index funds that outperform gambling on individual stocks.
I mean, I'd prefer deplatforming not being an option, but the momentum for it as a tool is far too strong. It's far more expedient that the folks that are championing that as an option also have to use it on institutions they're associated with or favor for similar actions.
I calculated that 4 DVDs per hour would take 250 hours....that's several weeks of work. I found a robot that does this, but the company that makes it seems to have gone out of business.

Keep in mind that third-party diagnostic equipment is almost always based on reverse-engineering and may lack some features, and original equipment from the manufacturer is rarely available.

I'm nominally a senior (though only 8 years experience), and I work thirty hours per week. This is a small place where I still code most of the time, but I'm also responsible for a lot of code review (man, we need more code review), architecture, and planning of features that others then implement. Mostly it just means short days, I'm still there for every stand-up and available for follow ups after. My pay is a chunk less than it would be full time, but comparable to what I was making just a few years ago. I have small kids and a bunch of synthesizers that I need the extra time with.
I'm sorry you feel that way. He is certainly as relevant as Camus, Proust, Kafka, Hemingway, Beckett, Sartre, Solzhenitsyn, and many others.

The fact that he is still popular after all these years is the best endorsement a writer could get.

The bestsellers are littered with names that will be forgotten in 5 years. As N.N. Taleb says: a book that has been around for a hundred years is likely to be around for another 100. The same can't be said for a book that has been popular for 5 years.

Are you saying that they don't work hard to avoid having their cars hit pedestrians? Really?

And no, this isn't "junior-developer grade software routine." They also don't want the car slamming on its brakes in the middle of traffic because a plastic bag blew by in front of the car.
>After this point, there's really no more to be said.

Really? Because if I buy a brand new car and end up with warped brake discs after just 2000km, and the dealer refuses to fix it under warranty, I will raise hell regardless of what technicality the dealer/manufacturer will uses to justify not fixing it.
The answer is patches. The more complex and "smart" something gets the more patches you need. And since you dont want to go to the mechanic every time, firmware over the air it is.
Sometimes it's almost as if they want you to pirate stuff.

Monkey Dust Series 3 is another series that is now impossible to buy legally. They used various people's music but didn't have the rights, so it got broadcast and then they couldn't sell it on DVD.

I like to keep a copy of obscure and hard to find recordings - it's almost as if recent history is being erased before our very eyes.
If one is actually serious in bringing senior engineers in house under part time work hours, why would one make assumptions to limit the scope of who would find it acceptable conditions to come in under?

In the US one could offer comp for health insurance equivalent partial value, or go the other way and carry full health insurance with the part time salary reducing. Or maybe this whole situation favors a setup in nations w/ universal healthcare.

My apologies for not listing every possible activity. I'll make sure to write a Phd thesis here in future.

As for the rest of your paranoid (and condescending) blather, I can do without it. From now on, I will.

> And ARM compatibility issues not really helping

There were two things I wanted to try on my MBP w/ M1 - compiling an Android app that has some C code, and also to run Fidelity's Active Trader Pro program (not that I would use it that actively). I also installed the Rosetta stuff it prompted for.

The Active Trader Pro program would not run.

In Android Studio, the production version can not compile with CMake as it can on Intel-based Macs yet ( https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1299 ). They say there is stuff in the beta/alpha/canary branches where it is working, but I am not in a rush and will wait for that to make its way into production.

> It’s good, fast

Yes, I did see the speed, especially with a normal Kotlin/Java Android Studio compile, on 16GB RAM.

Around 15 years ago I made Linux work well on various laptops. This included X and KDE. More recently I've tried the "great Linux laptops": Thinkpad and Dell. I had so many issues that I had to stop using these laptops altogether.

Some issues I remember off the top of my head are driver support (sometimes bluetooth, sometimes wifi, sometimes other), and video. Getting the video on high dpi displays to look reasonable with Linux on these laptops seemed impossible.
It's basically a synonym for invited. Or from a dictionary: "asked or invited to do, provide, or contribute to something". Unsolicited is the opposite.

If you send someone an invite to a discussion, they're invited, whether you meant to or not. At least long enough to send a single reply (which may be multiple tweets).

Whether their response is a polite "you tagged the wrong person" or some awful screed does not change whether a solicitation happened. Especially because tagging someone is not a request for any specific sort of reply.

Relatedly, if someone is eavesdropping in public and steps into a conversation to make the most wonderful helpful and loved comment in the world, doing that was still unsolicited.
Ukrainians are more prone to be aware there were two cities with similar names than Russians. By way of example, people who live in Washington State know that cities named Vancouver exist in both Canada and Washington and that you do have to be careful which one you pick even though one is much larger and better known. Washington State residents may of course still make the mistake, but they are FAR less likely to do so than someone who grew up in the Eastern US or Mexico who had no direct personal experience or awareness of the duplicate naming prior to clicking on a search result. Russian troops come from all over Russia. Ukrainian troops come from Ukraine. Proximity-based awareness of the potential for confusion will be far higher on average for the Ukrainians.
Unfortunately politicians don't always tell you their true motivations.

These days I live in the Southeastern US. Since 2020 was a census year, states have been redrawing their electoral maps. Several states have made changes that reduce the voting power of non-white voters. If politicians say this had nothing to do with race does that make it true? Even if it is true that they didn't consider race at all in the decision making process, does that make it acceptable when the end result impacts people in a noticeable way based on their race?

YES YES YES.

I'm so freaking burned out. I need some time to get my life back to a comfortable pace, and I constantly consider fully quitting my job, but that seems too drastic.

More importantly, I don't want to 100% stop working because I actually do love working. I just can't figure out how to care for my family, my mental and physical health, and put in 40+ hours at my job.

(Seniority wise, I've got 18 years of experience across many aspects of the industry and I've fought to remain an IC rather than take on management roles, certainly to the detriment of my career growth)
Setting boundaries that ask people to respect your time is not "staggeringly entitled," it's pretty much the bare minimum of self-respect.
> Okay. You might end up millions poorer. But at what cost?

Not to be snarky but... "millions"? the answer is right there in your question. You are making it seem like getting that extra money is going to cost OP their health or family, when in reality, the higher paying job will likely have better WLB and more interesting technology.
IP law is the problem. The anti-circumvention clauses (that kinda make sense for media DRM) are used to criminalize tools that make unofficial repair (or just "repair", because official repair is just swapping entire modules) possible.
Yes, this is basically what I do right now.
Thanks, that was not clear with the commentary about "paying someone" and "before you read it" that make it sound like something normal people wouldn't do and should be wary of.
One could say that living at all is a waste of scarce resources.
Let's be clear here, he's not being canceled because he was Russian but because he supports Putin's ideas and because he has not distanced himself from what Putin is doing. Public figures also have this kind of responsibility.
Aye, innit the truth.

2 months ago no one was talking about NATO & Libya. Now it's everywhere, a deliberate propaganda push.

Rumor has it Putin is obsessed with Quaddafi due to how quickly he was overthrown, and this push makes me think those rumors are correct. Long serving dictators sitting on an ever-growing pile of resentment, fear of overthrow, etc.

By democracy I mean the system in place in the US or Western Europe and a number of other countries. In other words, a system with checks and balances. A system with tools in place to avoid injust outcomes due to the tyrany of the majority (or a minority).

For example, if a majority of a country wants segregated schools, that does not make it right. A true democracy is not one where people just shrug and say “well, if this is the will of the people, that settles it”. A true democracy is one where “Brown vs Board of Education” can happen.
