What does the behavior of current human-operated cars have to do with the value of domain-limited AVs?

Your comment was not "these are not 100% replacement for cars yet", which would obviously be uncontroversial. It was "these are not a reality yet". You've chosen an arbitrary bar for considering these "real", in exactly the same way that serving small rural communities is an arbitrary bar with which to dismiss the real value that subways create.
By the way, if you want something that works, that you can buy without a prescription, I cannot recommend “BronkAid” aka ephedrine sulfate 25mg highly enough.

It’s sold “behind the counter” in the US at major pharmacy chains, which means you have to ask for it by name, they won’t even have the cards in the aisles that you then bring up and redeem.

You have to show ID — not sure if that’s a Federal or a State thing, and you’re limited in the quantity you can buy at once, but the limits are not overly restrictive.

It’s sold mainly as an anti-asthmatic. I personally have borderline asthma, meaning I’ve never had an asthma attack but in a test chamber my total lung volume increases 20% after puffing albuterol.

It opens up my breathing tremendously, very useful as a pre-workout, has a nice nootropic effect, and for me personally does not cause any increased heart rate, although for many people that is an undesirable effect. Perhaps best not to stack with caffeine.

And when I have a cold, I like it better than suppressants, expectorants, or even pseudoephedrine because I get clearing without turning into a leaky faucet.

Just my anecdata…
hahahahahahahahaha. no. just no.

My first year in the US I tried doing my taxes by hand as you describe it. 1040 is only 2 pages but the instructions are... drumrolls... https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf .. 114 pages.

I was like: cool. I'll do it. Start reading the instructions and it started referencing other cool forms that were referencing other cool forms. So unless you have a really straightforward situation the answer is no. you cannot do this on your own. and if you want to do it on your own the effort is at least days if not weeks.
It's a nice write-up - what do you think about cloud gaming and how it might interact with FOSS games?

Not an EE, but my guess is Capacitors. Or at least one big enough capacitor. I think the capcitor responds to the EM fields out-of-phase with the rest of the circuit creating voltage differentials that can be measured. Not certain though.
Don't you have to provide some information as part of the confirmation? Whenever something requests MFA, it will show a two digit number, and in the Authenticator app, I will be presented with three numbers and can only confirm the prompt if I select the same number that was shown by the requestor. My work MSFT account is even more locked down and requires me to type in the number.
I don't follow web standards closely, but I'm curious if this comment is still true (or was ever true): "For people who don't follow modern web standards, a modern web browser getting 100/100 is actually failing tests. You should get 97/100, failing tests 23, 25, and 35."

Sunset provisions are popular actually. Jimmy Carter put that idea on his platform in '76, and it was carried out to some extent, and his own state was the example that sold people on it. I sense that they have waned since.

I believe there are restrictions on the breadth of laws but they are not honored very effectively.
10-15 years ago me and I assumed most people here viewed Google in a very positive light. At that time they seemed to be doing everything right and were somehow at the top of everything they did. Gmail was game changing, Search had no equal, Youtube was mind boggling, and Android and Chrome and so many other things. Somehow they lost their way in the process which is a shame.
Worse, I assumed every 2FA provider did something to mitigate request spamming as soon as someone realised you could use a premium rate number back when SMS messages were commonly used instead of apps for 2FA.
Doesn't facebook make it a lot easier for inept viewpoints and thoughts to gain traction and impact society more easily? Facebook is the gun, not the trigger man.

Used to get Vicks inhalers with it. I don't know if its still available.
It's not a take to say that Republicans are not in favor of a more efficient IRS [1]. It was also not meant as a moral judgement (at least not by me). While it is not my position, I understand that if one believes that taxes are bad then there is no incentive to make tax collection easier.

My only point is that the article misunderstands the root causes.

"If you don't know where you are going, it doesn't matter how fast you get there."
Kinda. The number isn't made up, it's based on your salary from that job and then a calculation based on the number of dependents you will claim (which generally lowers your tax liability so they withhold less).

At the end of the year, this tax filing process is to reconcile if the amount you had withheld matches with what you owe the government.
Dagger – A new way to create CI/CD Pipelines
I'm the maintainer

The project is mostly sponsored by Meta/Facebook because the company need such a tool for internal/external docs

However it's still useful to have external sponsors to get more bandwidth and also to be able to pay external contributors with a different, more lightweight process
1. Deep deep knowledge of your text editor. I am biased towards Vim, but many others can work if you know them inside and out.

2. Learning multiple programming paradigms, bare minimum 1 declarative and 1 imperative language. Build something substantial.

3. Understanding yourself, what times you work best, diet, fitness etc. I find where and the setting of where I am working is extremely important.

4. Broad (but not necessarily deep) knowledge of DS&A. Knowing a thing exists is enough to search it.

5. Broad (and preferably deep) knowledge of computers on a fundamental level. An approximate understanding of what the statements you are typing into the machine are “translated” to at each stage.
One of many such studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19230461/

Keep in mind this doesn't say that it's not effective. It's just not more so than the placebo effect, which is quite real even on physiological matters.
I remember somebody calculated the cost of making meth from over the counter pseudoephedrine tablets and it would be the single most expensive drug available.
Maybe you need to attach some ballons to them?
zig has many of the same footguns as C++ and C; it just has better developer ergonomics.

Use after free, double free, invalid stack RW, uninitialized data, race conditions, etc. They're all possible to be found in Zig programs, because the language doesn't provide assurances against them.
ha, lucky. I have a similar constellation of problems and never found an employer willing to tolerate it long term. I can put large volumes of high quality work for 3-5 weeks at a time followed by 2-4 weeks of a low output slump. I usually get fired on the fourth or fifth cycle, freelance for a while, then try again.

Always hoping to find somewhere willing to accept the inconsistency in output but haven't found it yet. Anyways it's cool to hear someone in one of these threads acknowledge this reality for a lot of people. The general HN consensus seems to be that anyone who isn't a top 10% technical star and an incredible productivity machine doesn't deserve to touch code.
30 years seems kind of short. I get that in some places (France comes to mind) it is common to retire pretty early. With the associated destruction of cognitive skills, unfortunately. But in the US I'd wager most people have a professional life more along the lines of 45-50 years.
LOL. The single greatest threat to Western society is Western society itself. Declining fertility, mass immigration at the border but brutally hard immigration for high skill workers, civil wars over pointless culture war issues, and the destruction of the social norms that once held us together. But go blame Facebook if you want.
I bet sugar pills would be even harder to turn into meth.
I came here to ask about the same thing. Very cool! I would be very interested even in a blog post just on how you did the SVG generation.
I've had good experiences using Freetaxusa for several years. This year, however, I discovered that they don't support ISO exercise-and-hold behavior. They advertise support for form 6251 but don't allow you to enter anything in line 2i (or any lines not directly supported). Made a real mess.
I think his point was that they definitely won't make it faster (more abstraction means more indirection), so the expectation from most (myself included) would be that using them incurs a performance penalty, maybe not directly via their implementation, but via their use in broader terms.
The main difference is that not all credits are refundable. If you have a $7500 nonrefundable credit, but only have a tax liability of $5000, that extra $2500 just vanishes.
The nice thing about a HANDLE is they can be a pointer to kernel space, a pointer to something in user space, or an opaque index into an internal table of managed resources. If it was a pure pointer, then 0 has to be avoided as it can be mistaken for "no value" by users. Of course, you replace that with knowing to check for INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.

IMO, HANDLEs are probably a bit too opaque for my taste, as you have to know what operations you should be using with them. I'd prefer opaque structs if I had to choose.
Being closely integrated with the rest of the system & libraries is a feature, not a bug - no plans to change anything about it :^)
That being said, it's definitely possible to use it outside of SerenityOS as a regular library, just need a checkout of the serenity source for that.
See https://github.com/linusg/libjs-test262 for an example, specifically the CMake files and `src/main.cpp`.

The separate website is just to have a nice & short link to the test262 graph and whatever else we'll put there eventually; and also because it's built/deployed in a slightly different way than the main serenityos.org website.
I still get a chuckle out of the Elon fans who thought for some reason a huge fleet of robotaxis would somehow make them rich instead of become an instant race to the bottom on prices.
Suspension failures are not particularly common, EVs aren't that much heavier, and maintenance can still be done. While EVs are somewhat heavier, there are plenty of crazy heavy ICE vehicles that work without issue.

Tire wear may increase, but a robotaxi can also optimize driving style to reduce it.

None of those costs matter, compared to ICE. EVs just have less things that can break, and even less things that result in EOL or catastrophic failure. The more miles a taxi runs for, the more money it makes. Even if costs increased, the profit would easily make up for it.
For about six thousand years (at least), turning deserts and other marginal terrain into croplands is what tends to distinguish civilizations from non-civilizations: cities being a byproduct of the scale of agriculture activities water movement processes make possible.

Which is not me saying it is good or bad.

Just me saying ‘it is.’

With the point being it is worth deciding if there is a baby in the bath water. Or irrigation canal so to speak before deciding which moral high ground is rocky and which is silty.
NE cities are more similar to european cities than most of the USA. I have no doubt cars can handle european cities if they can handle NE cities.
There will be an optional cloud service (not yet available). Its features will be based on requests from the community. Some problems just can't be solved with a command-line client. For example: visualization of your pipelines; a centralized audit log of all jobs run across all machine; centrally managed access control and policies; etc.

We will not rely on unusual licences to restrict competitors from running Dagger as a service. We don't need to, since `dagger` is a client tool. We do encourage cloud providers to run buildkit as a service, though :)

Generally, we take inspiration from Red Hat for their balancing of open-source community and business. They are very open with their code, and tightly control how their trademark is used. You can clone their IP and use it to compete with them - but you have to build your own brand, and you can't confuse and fragment the Dagger developer community itself. We think that is a fair model, and we are using it as a general guideline.
Prior to the regulation of pseudoephedrine, NyQuil also contained pseudoephedrine and since the nasal congestion from a a virus can often be the most disruptive factor for sleep (at least, in my personal experience, that's the case) it's considered by some to the be most important component.

NyQuil with pseudoephedrine included is now marketed as "NyQuil D" and is available behind many pharmacy counters with the same restrictions as other pseudoephedrine products. However, it could also rightly be called "NyQuil Classic" (to borrow branding from Coca-Cola).

Sometimes it's the problem of not being able to see what's there because you already [mentally] eliminated it

But I agree - SO many times the error's hanging out right there in the stack trace, often to within a few characters or lines of the "real" error in the source!
I have a personal Google account (gmail, YouTube, drive, etc.). For this sole reason I do not use GCP for anything, just to avoid "what if my GCP account gets banned... That would ban my personal Google account as well!".

I'm moving slowly away from Google, though.
No, if you are on iPhone, Face Id authenticates, then you press a button to allow. That's it. There is no number to type anywhere.
I've worked at 5 different tech companies across that period (2 YC startups, 2 FAANG, 1 mid-size). It might be a US coastal tech thing, but it's certainly not a single office thing.
Sure, so can Modula-2 or Ada. Point is, degrees of separation in our biases, especially when it comes to C sugared languages.
As for motivation, I think "I feel like I am “done” with fulltime hands on coding" was clear enough. As for understanding of the role, unless the OP's experience is unique then managers are typically former programmers with little to no "real" management training or experience. I realize that's a broad generalization but in my career it's been pretty accurate. Even when managers had training it was usually someone who went to night classes for an MBA and was never that into coding in the first place.

I know I have looked into (but did not pursue) software management because it seemed like a place to "fail up" from being a burned out programmer... I might be the exception in that respect though.

Actually, for a long time (almost 20 years, I think), the gcc subsystem gcj let you do AOT compilation of Java to ELF binaries. [1] I think they had to be dynamically linked, but only to a few shared objects (unless you pulled in a lot via native dependencies, but that's kind of "on you").

I don't recall any restrictions on how to use generated code, anymore than gcc-generated object code. So, I don't think the FSF/copyleft on the compiler itself nullifies a free beer classification. :-) gcj may not have done a great job of tracking Java language changes. So, there might be a "doesn't count as 'real Java'" semantic issue.

Is China not a uniquely threatening force? They have the second largest GDP, the second-most expensive military with the most personnel, considerable influence over other important Asian countries, and a major role in manufacturing the world's products, and they continue to rapidly expand across all of those facets. They are very much in opposition to Liberal values (free speech, democracy, privacy), and they are somewhat aligned with other US adversaries (Russia, North Korea).

In 1910, I'd absolutely attribute focus on China to racism. Today, if I were to rank the biggest threats to US for the coming decades, I would put China in distant first place. But I'm no geopolitics expert, am I missing something?
This is just not true. While that is more complicated, it's still stupidly complicated to do something as simple as fill out the W-2 form if you have a single job with a salary, and if you're a freelancer with lots of clients that don't pay you the same way and don't give you a salary it's all but impossible.
It probably still makes it a lot more difficult to make meth in a "homelab", as alternative synthesis paths are probably a lot harder. So they're leaving it to the "clandestine pros", ironically ;).

Also, in legislation, it seems like making things illegal passes several orders of magnitudes more easily, than anything that gives normal citizens more rights.
Andreas’ excitement is infectious. I find myself sometimes smiling in an empty room watching his reaction to getting something working.
In my experiences with old NyQuil it was enough to make you drowsier. And getting to sleep was the primary objective of NyQuil.

Back in my college days you could replicate it with one 30mg Sudafed and a shot of Jagermeister. =)
How would this handle CI/CD jobs which need to be run on a mac?

From what I understand, everything needs to be a container, and that doesn't work for xcode.
Who am I compared to blackrock president but I feel like it is blackrock who is picking his words quite carefully. VERY carefully.

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GME/holders?p=GME

Vanguard and blackrock are holding heavy long positions into gamestop. This president knows that he's doing this.

Let's not forget Blackrock is buying heavy into houses with expectation the bond market will die and USD to inflate quite a bit more: https://www.vox.com/22524829/wall-street-housing-market-blac...

He knows the implications of all this and the 'entitled generation' arent who will ultimately pay here at all.

As the USD collapses to accommodate their play, the entitled generation are who will be able to beat inflation with jumping jobs and demanding raises. Generational wealth warfare doesnt work exactly because of this.

Inflation is paid ultimately by who? The people whose investments are held in the currency. Retirees holding bonds with negative real yields are where the money comes from. It's the boomers who eventually pay here. It's the boomers who thought they could retire but can't anymore because their retirement funds are worth less and less each year. Its the boomers who hurt when there's a 2030 worker shortage that's set in stone.

No, the blackrock president knows this. He picked his words very carefully.

Yes, the homelanders will have some sacrificing to make. Hell the name of their generation explains one sacrifice.

Flipside, basically every homelander will be a millionaire. It wont mean the same thing. the language will evolve.
Radios use electromagnetic fields.

The EM field can induce a current in an antenna. This current is what is received and amplified. Recall that an antenna, at its simplest, is just a length of wire.

Keep in mind that when you are working with antennas, you have to forget about Kirchoff's laws, because the simplifying assumptions that make Kirchoff's laws work aren't true for antennas. By Kirchoff's laws, you can't have current flowing through a wire that isn't connected to anything. However, the charge density of the wire is changing under the influence of the radio waves--the radio waves are pushing the charges in the wire from one side to the other, and then back again.
> Solving problems iteratively in the same way progressive jpegs render: Start with essential parts, quickly assemble them to a usable draft and iterate on the entire thing by improving quality where it needs to be improved.

This is something that I feel I’m really good at, and I like this explanation a lot.

I’ll add that while being able to look at problems at a high level and then slowly increase “resolution” is a huge advantage, the key in my experience is the ability to switch between those levels of abstraction quickly.

The more complex a system, the more important this ability can be.

Let’s say you’re building out a large new feature that can be implemented in three parts: Service A, Service B, and the communications between them. That’s the highest level of abstraction: we are dealing with three components, each of which has a very high-level purpose/domain.

Once each component has a defined domain, we can disregard the other components when drilling down into each one. This works very well, but invariably we’ll reach a point where we discover than an assumption that was made at a higher level is no longer valid.

At that point, there are two options: we can stay this level of abstraction, leave our component domains unchanged, and “work around” the issue. Sometimes that’s fine and leads to relatively minor hacks or technical debt. Other times, it’s not fine, because the violated assumption can be much more easily remedied by going up a level of abstraction and changing the domains of our components. Often, the assumption that didn’t hold in Service A also impacts Service B, and doesn’t hold their either.

Maybe that will result in splitting the problem into one more service; maybe it will mean that the domains of each service need to be adjusted so the issue is isolated into one of them; maybe it means that we chose to split the problem up along the wrong boundaries to begin with and need to reconsider them entirely.

My point is - starting at the most abstract level and working your way down is powerful, but you don’t always have all the information necessary the first time you walk down that complexity tree.
> 260 GW electrical power is being generated from fission neutrons right now.

At enormous cost. Nobody even has a plan for a way to operate a fusion plant at anything close to matching fission's cost, and fission itself gets less economically competitive with each passing day.

If a fusion plant could be operated competitively, surely running the same energy collection system wrapped around a fission pile would do just as well, and thus better than existing fission plants? Try it and see!
"Spectating an op-ed war" is a super weird way of saying "negative opinion about Facebook." Opeds are for reading. WP is a left leaning outlet. No war is going on here, and reading an oped isn't spectating a war.

That doesn't make it untrue.

There is a significant amount of evidence supporting the efficacy of NSAIDs. Note that they are more effective for some types of pain than others, due to the mechanism by which they work.
We can't live without human drivers, though. We can absolutely live without automated cars. And when it becomes clear that corporate greed drove some cost-cutting choice which made the automated car less safe by design, it will be the kiss of death for the technology.
