The internet is probably the wrong place to ask such a question, context matters a lot.

I cannot imagine the pain you have to go through, having kids myself.

That being said, from a rational point of view, I think what you are looking for is closure.

I'm not sure if a multiple year long trial will bring you closure, but that's something you need to consider yourself.

I do know one person who lost his daughter due to a drunk driver. He took the funds, and founded an org to prevent these kind of situations and create awareness about it.
He gives a lot of talks about it, and gets lots of coverage by the press.

My gut feeling tells me that - if I would ever be in a situation comparable to him - I would love to be as strong as he is.
But, truth to be told, I'm not sure if I'd have enough stamina to follow through...

Sorry for your loss...
I love it when the term "military standard" or "military spec" gets thrown around.

If you want a company with a long history of making industrial computers then Onlogic[1] just released a raspberry pi box.

Onlogic used to be called logicsupply and they've made industrial and fanless computers for rough operating environments for many years.

Lancet journal already used terms like "bodies with vaginas". Got a lot of flak for it and I think it was partially justified. I think medicine should stay clear of ideology. DEI doesn't provide anything but racism in my opinion.
Lawyers, especially external council, are about to have a windfall. Sweating? More like they're drooling.
If your car is yelling at you to grab the wheel, I'm sure you can take two seconds to put your phone in your pocket. With one hand even, so the other can go to your wheel, and your feet are still nice and snug on the pedals, ready to brake should you need to.
Insurance doesn't cover brand image, which is very important for Mercedes.
Hard to even imagine what you must be going through. If I may suggest

1. Let the lawyer fight your legal fight
2. Make sure the legal battle get publicity even if you settle with the company not admitting any guilt
3. Use the settlement money for your own betterment and however you deem beneficial to a cause personal to you.
Absolutely.

Regulators also love b) and now that there is precedence we should see the next step by some of the a) companies.

If their product is better they should be able to easily match or exceed Mercedes (and I think they will. Either voluntarily or by law).

To me this is a really exciting step along the way to autonomous vehicles.

But how far does this go? Does this mean that on root-cause analysis a particular Engineer could be criminally charged?
Also from the looks of it (the photos OP took of his new phone) the screen looks terrible. Maybe it's just the camera he used, but the screen seems to have a very visible blue tint and the viewing angles are not great). It looks like it was taken from a 2010 phone :(.

And yeah, camera being pretty much unusable in a phone sold in 2022 is not very good. I think most times I actually use my smartphone is to take pictures and videos nowadays, and I'm probably not alone in this.
> You will be shocked to know that emacs and org-mode can do exactly this. You can tangle source, and go from the tangled source back to the section that generated that source.

If you actually use noweb and desire autocompletion or type reminders (or really anything an IDE does), then functionally it cannot. Literate programming (and noweb) is great for configs, but as set up it simply doesn't work right for real programming.

> They then proved that a Gömböc's flatness and thinness both have to be equal to 1, that is, both values have to be as small as is possible.

I don’t get this. The shape in the video looks neither flat nor thin.
Of course it does (indirectly). Tesla for example can't take responsibility, since they know that their "full self drive" or "autopilot" systems are never reliable, in any driving circumstance.

What you're saying is like "the engineers that built this bridge never drive over it, but that doesn't mean it's shoddy" - technically correct, but almost certainly wrong in practice.
The problem is probably in the word “rewrite”. That you used AOP was probably incidental.
I would have fought, but I now know that it would it consume me, destroy my remaining family, and ruin my mental health. I fought because I’m emotional and needed to do what I felt was the "right" thing.

I have some experience with this sort of fight, against something much larger than yourself that is doing some sort of wrong. My situation is nowhere near as tragic and sad as yours, you have my condolences I couldn’t even imagine being in your position.

My own fight is a mere speck of dust vs your fight.

However what I have learnt is that I perhaps took the wrong path.

You could take the path of moving on. No more fight. Life is so short. These giant organisations can eat up years of your life in court.

This alternative path, move on, build your family anew. Take the settlement. No amount of money can give you your years back, or repair your mental health.

Like literally millions of dollars cannot fix your family that is breaking apart. Your mental health cannot be healed with any amount of money.

Look at what you have now. Who is your family. They are real, alive, they matter, move on, it is so hard. But you need to move on.

Don’t let the system steal your years in endless battles. The thing your fighting is an uncaring machine. And you are burning your years away whilst the machine is effectively immortal.

If I could do it all over again I would not fight.

You ask: What would you do if you were me?

Be selfish, take the settlement, focus on what you have that is alive - your current family. Regrow and move on as much as you can.

Put the past behind you.
It's a marketing parlor trick. They take legal responsibility for something that cannot happen and immediately drop to human control when things turn south, like all so called "Level 3" systems.

I'm also sure they will not take any responsibility if someone rear-ends you when the car stops in confusion on the highway.
More or less... yes.

Win32 was the one and only GUI framework. If you wrote your app for Windows, it would look like Windows. This was true for Windows NT, Windows 2000, and XP.

Then Office got the Ribbon UI but they decided not to let anyone else use it. Then Vista got the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), which was a lot like HTML, but used XML and had a more powerful styling+templating system. At one point they even tried to make JavaScript Windows applications a thing over a decade before it unfortunately did become a thing (Electron).

The problem is that WPF, like HTML, allowed nearly "anything". You could style any control any way that you wanted. So WPF apps looked somewhat... random.

Worse, it turned out that WPF was just too slow for applications, to the point that Microsoft themselves almost never used it. Instead, they used incompatible bits and pieces of it with C++ so that they could have something reasonably fast. But this wasn't WPF, and didn't look the same as user apps, and wasn't even internally consistent!

Now there are something like 10+ UI frameworks from Microsoft alone, not including third-party ones that can run on Windows.

This is why the Windows 11 interface is such a mess.
Try Organic Maps - offline-first OpenStreetMap app. It's really good!
It's the other way round. Flatness and thinness are values greater than or equal to 1, so a shape with a flatness of 1 is minimally flat.
Amendment to #1: if the right tool for the job doesn't exist, find a cheap way to make the tool. Toolmaking is highly leveraged work.

I like the list! There are some things I would replace with other things (overall, I think I'd emphasise more general business and product development aspects more) but of course, everyone has their own list!
Ask HN: How to go about learning react from ground up?
Hi HN,

How would you suggest going about learning React, one of my concerns is that is a pretty unopinionated framework and its easy to shoot yourself in the foot if you dont know what you're doing, so any suggestions or experiences that'd help make this process easier? Thanks!
> The correlation seems less about the fall to ruin, but that that somewhere like the US would fall into a dictatorship and has many ingredients as Julius Caesar served to claim emperor

And it's not like it's something completely out of the question - there was literally a coup attempt to circumvent election results (which are already gerrymandered to hell) a year ago.
Sorry?

> I think medicine should stay clear of ideology

Medicine can't stay clear of ideology just because things medicine has to deal with get declared as "ideology". If anything, you are saying "medicine should follow my ideology", and we have lots of examples how that collides badly.
Well, they are doing it in infinitely more broad areas than any of their competition so far...
You mentioned the amount of money is laughable - 4 years of salary. You may not be happy with this outcome, and once you sign awat your right to a legal battle, you might regret it.

Jeff Bezos likes to optimise for regret minimisation, that's what he did when he decided to build Amazon. In your case:

- If I miss 4 years of salary over doing this, how much am going to regret it? I personally won't that much.

- If I change your mind about this after settling I can't do anything about it. That's going to be a huge regret for me.

Perhaps deep inside you know you should do this legal battle but you're getting resistance from your family. Just like ksternerud said - explain and discuss with your family the potential outcomes and regrets.

I am not a lawyer and don't really know any lawyer who can help. I haven't been through this, nor do I have kids.

In addition to being tone sensitive it is also very dependent on who's asking. If that person is, and that is something I hate, obviously less qualified in whatever field is concerned asks in an inquisitive tone (especially when having more hierarchical power), it's a sure way to knock any respect I had for those down a notch or two (or multiple, depending on circumstances, including my mood).

That being said, I love being challenged. Also by people new or un experienced in my field. Because it's an opportunity to learn. Either because I missed something (naive questions are really great for that), because I have to voice my thoughts and explain my thought process (and discover flaws in it), because the person asking is way better in what ever we are talking about,... you name it. Being challenged just because definitely isn't part of that.
So sorry for your loss. If you choose to settle (nobody would blame you) perhaps some of the money could go to improve the security of your neighborhood (fence/signs etc).

Speak to a lawyer. Speak to a therapist.

Good luck and a virtual hug from me.
I think most importantly would be privacy, then the features of sending files and maybe spam blocking is highly recommended.
> I would never forgive me if one day another child gets killed and I could have avoided the tragedy if I choose to fight.

Sounds like you already know what you want to do. If you need help, please see a professional therapist. It isn't weakness, it isn't for other people, it isn't weird. You've had some serious trauma. Your lawyer makes a bad therapist. Court systems make for bad therapy. HN comments will never be the answer to something so deeply personal.

I hope for the best for you and your family.
I would expect super admins to be able to cut or set authorisation access but not actually control that. In which case, wouldn’t super admin hijack just amount to DoSing 3rd party systems, rather than compromise?
A surprising amount of people, probably.
I wonder if there will be a long term unintended consequence where as self driving progresses into more difficult use cases people will have less overall experience and will struggle when they have to take over for more difficult scenarios like heavy rain or snow?
I don't know how I feel about the insistence of having pet projects and learning something new every day. It feels like a very work-centered approach to life.

Unless of course the pet projects happen at work during working hours, but finding a place that allows that is probably a whole different kind of beast.
Get a lawyer and a therapist immediately. If you want justice, you need your mental fortitude back and a trained professional who specializes in fighting these types of monsters.
Did you read the article? They guarantee a 10 seconds manual take over time and remain responsible in those 10 seconds. That's not the same as the instant dropping the ball that Tesla, Volvo, GM etc all do.
It is quite difficult to visualize and it took me a long time to "get it".

The path of the sun's annual motion relative to the stars is determined solely by my physical progress in orbit around the sun. A planet's axial tilt only changes the 'direction' I'm looking in and thus the reference point of my celestial coordinate system. The sun's path will always be a great circle on that celestial sphere (and always the same relative to the fixed background stars) regardless of which reference frame I choose. I think this is enough to surmise that the sun's angular speed on the celestial sphere is constant regardless of axial tilt (assuming a perfectly circular orbit).

Taken to an extreme, imagine a planet with 90° tilt -- the sun would move vertically and pass directly over the pole, making a constant 'horizontal' motion literally impossible.

I'm not sure what your tidally locked example is meant to demonstrate, since that's literally what the analemma is -- the path the sun would make in the sky once you subtract a planet's local axial rotation, i.e., tidally locking it to the orbital parent.
Russian court finds Kremlin critic Navalny guilty of fraud
It's weird how to this day Tesla Autopilot can only really be semi-reliably trusted in exactly the same situations this works

... but because Tesla has the reality distortion field in full effect you never hear these complaints about their solution.

Driving up sidewalks, killing people by slamming into stationary objects, people trying to sleep in your glorified ADAS guided car, all the cost of being able to claim you work in more situations.
The only problem with CSS is that a lot of people use it without understanding the basic rules of the cascade.

!important is just one thing another thing is that you shouldn't use ids as in id="myId" for styling because an id has too much weight compared to tags or classes. The only way to override a styled id is with another id - and at this point everybody should realize that no thing should have two identification-tags!

CSS is beautiful and extremely logical. I can very much recommend the book "CSS in depth" by Keith J. Grant - by reading this you go from asking CSS questions on Stackoverflow to answering them.

edit: just to make clear I made the same mistakes for years.

Their system (confirming to German law and as mentioned in the article) gives you a 10 second takeover window within which they are still liable.

Yes they do. That's the point of their announcement and the reason why they only allow it under very specific and favourable conditions
No, that's distinctively different. This is about distributing attack surface, not obscuring authentication infrastructure. Are we really at a point where not relying on external account providers is considered unusual, or a bad practice? I'm not buying it.
Thanks, didn't know. Although in astronomy they use Gy often.
PS: Don't know why people downvote, your comment is useful.
No, the scaling is definitely done by the applications. I don't know how they do it, but it works.

I don't think it is possible to avoid having lines "in between" pixels when using fractional scaling. The physical pixel grid simply does not always align with the one at "100%" scale.

I specifically bought the 4K monitor to get crisp text rendering. Upscaling from 1080p (e.g. what XWayland does) is very noticeable to me. I don't see any difference between native Wayland fractional scaling, and setting Gnome to native resolution (except for the tiny UI elements).
In University I had a prof that gave us 600 facts at the start of the year. All printed and easy to read. Each class we went over a few of them.

He said if you mastered 100% you'd get 100% on the exam. He would pick from the lot and that's the exam question.

His reasoning was. These are the basics, we were all smart, and we could use the basics to go beyond them. But only if we had them.

20+ years later and I still remember most of the things in that class. I can still write code in assembly (8086). I don't need to, but I have the knowledge, and it's helped shape my code.

Sales and marketing is something that I have absolutely no knowledge of.
All I know about sales is going out for drinks with potential customers and marketing is spamming your product all over the internet.

Do you have any resources that explain this in more detail? Most of the resources I found feel very fake (i.e. they're selling the idea of marketing, and not the tools or information about marketing).

I may just be line noise, but compiles and runs just as well.
9 times out of 10 somebody else's code points the way. The tenth time, you didn't look hard enough. The exception to this rule lies in a very small % of coders who know who they are.

I hasten to add, I am not in that minority!
Reach out to journalists with your story. First by contacting local media and reporters. Then by Googling for reports on similar stories, and contacting the people who reported on them.

There also might be non-profits and communities that are dedicated to handling such cases that might have helpful resources.

Definitely talk to a lawyer, though.
Fair enough. I definitely agree that autonomous driving has to be insured by the company providing the service and at least in so far it's a big step in the right direction.

However claiming they have beaten Tesla seems like a bit of a stretch given the circumstances.
> If a similar attacker is trying to breach you, you're likely going to get breached.

I think the logic here is accepting that if an attacker is trying to breach you, you’re likely going to get breached. But, if an attacker is trying to breach someone else, you’re still safe(-ish). With a centralized service, you don’t have to be the target to feel the effect.
Show HN: Generate QR-Code Business Cards
Hi HN,

As the Covid is slowly fading away and the meetup/conference season is starting up again, I needed a quick tool to generate various business cards as QR codes. A good excuse to learn about contact card formats (vCard, MeCard).

So here it is: you can generate QR codes using the online form, and embed SVG/PNG QR codes wherever you like (Website, Markdown, Slides, GitHub README).

The app is FOSS and code source is on GitHub: https://github.com/rclement/business-card-generator

I urge you not to spend your life in litigation. You cannot litigate against future harm.

Take the money and move with your wife to a new place where you can write new stories. And like others have said: please make sure that you are meeting with a therapist.

You are loved. You are not alone.
You are seriously going to recommend this without knowing this person more than what he wrote? A legal battle can be a torture for many many years and without any guarantee of anything. Huge companies has an army of lawyers that will use any legal loophole they can find.

He should speak to a lawyer, his family and probably a therapist.

As a father, I can imagine (in some small way), the pain you’re feeling. Words fail.

You want/need a good lawyer here (be careful—plenty will see $$). I always advise clients to make use of their network to get a good referral. Otherwise, it can be hard to penetrate the smoke and mirrors of legal marketing.

As much as I can be salty and cynical about my profession (I’m a lawyer, in case that’s not clear), this is what we’re trained for. You want a gladiator.

Feel free to ask any follow up questions, and I pray you can find some modicum of peace in the years to come.
