Is the electric conversion still a thing? I want an eclectic car with no monitors, no software updates, no surveillance (none of the new electric car offers that - they are calling home for updates and god knows why way too often, and they have bigger monitors than my 14" work laptop).
Definitely agreed, but it's worth pointing out that they're not mutually exclusive. There are a lot of tools on the Terminal that integrate Twitter sources and can track and analyze commentary.

The advent of increased population, social media, technology, and major american hyper polarization make the current times very different than the 60s/70s.
Yes. I got called out by some random "offended" person while discussing a master slave topology on i2c bus I was working on in an embedded system with a friend. It was a coffee shop in Austin so it wasn't exactly shocking but the first time in my life so worth mentioning. Also a company I worked at once declared we should use different terms going forward in our own systems that used master/slaves topologies, they had a variety of alternatives.

Check all the open roles: https://commercetools.com/careers/jobs

For my team, I'm looking for a Principal Engineer Incident Response!

We recently crossed the threshold of 100 engineers, and are setting up a tech leadership track to enable us to grow further. By being one of the first Principal Engineers, you’ll shape the role itself and the tech leadership culture together with the Director of Tech Leadership, who you’ll report to.

As the Principal Engineer Incident Response, you’ll work on challenging technical problems of an ambitious product. Depending on the time of the day, we process more than $1 mio revenue per hour. Every minute of downtime is costly for our customers, and our best features are useless if our services are not up. You’ll help new and existing product teams to detect incidents before our customers do, respond to them effectively, and most importantly learn and improve from every incident.

It's not clear to me what the problem from A, B, and C's perspective is: the actual threat is from a group unrelated to B or C, secretly funded by an organization unrelated to A. So, why would their grift get uncovered as a result of stopping the threat? Or maybe I missed something in that description. It's okay for the plot not to make sense, the plots of technothrillers never make sense anyway.
The flip side of that is that many of the newer formulations are slight tweaks, but doctors will generally prescribe the drug that the latest pharma sales rep to visit was selling (yes really).

They also tend to not want to change the way they’ve always done things and prescribe a cheaper formulation.
Nice! I also have this pain of the file losing shape quickly. My take is to have a a CLI tool to "carry over" all todos which aren't solved into a new heading. This way the old/resolved items are moved to the back/lower in the file.

I call it Rodo (Todos in Ruby): https://github.com/coezbek/rodo

It uses Markdown for syntax.

Yes, you are repeating yourself without addressing the issue that the ability to verify does not, by itself, confer any trust. Even if we accept your conclusion, it does not mean the other risks are inconsequential.
If you happen to know the address of where the individual lived, you can make a much more targeted search if you know the census enumeration district. With the ED in hand, just looking up by last name may be sufficient, but you can also just step through the individual sheets.

This site has a way to look up the ED by street address:

https://stevemorse.org/census/unified.html

Depending on the street, there will be 1 or more districts; e.g.: "9-27", etc. Just enter that string in the "Enumeration District" search field. I knew the addresses of several relatives based on the 1940 census and it made looking them up in the 1950 census very easy.

That's a good point.

I wonder if the problem is that efficient persistent arrays aren't in racket's standard library (there are some third-party libraries implementing them though). Since racket isn't a "pure FP" language, they include cons-arrays and mutable vectors, and I imagine they felt that there wasn't a need to include efficient persistent arrays in addition to those.

In theory this makes sense, but I just don't see it sticking here in the U.S. Or, if it does stick, my concern would be that it would come with a pay cut, much like how some companies have wanted to reduce worker pay for employees who wanted to continue working from home after the mandatory lockdowns.
Good point! I should note that I do have an ordinary resume which is available upon request.
You can enable DPI scaling under GNOME and it works fine for the DE itself and most GNOME programs, but it’s extremely hit or miss for anything not GNOME. Same deal with KDE.

Really irritating because it makes my Thinkpad X1 Nano unusable under Linux. This is probably why macOS does things the way it does: no room for third party developer error.

You’re not kidding! I first learned to drive stick in a deuce-and-a-half that my dad bought cheap at a surplus auction.

This is very cool, thanks for sharing! I'm a huge proponent of tool-less things, and a consistent todo list format readable in any text editor has been extremely helpful for me. I use my own markdown-inspired todo+notes format, but looking through xit and todo.txt has given me some ideas, specifically around my format's[1] inability to indicate priority when a line is taken out of context.

Question: why must the square brackets be used[2]? Could not the first and third chars be omitted, leaving only the status of the item as the first char on the line? I can see (and appreciate!) the desire to use brackets for readability, but if there's a functional benefit I'm not sure I see it at first glance.

I especially like your use of `!` and `#`, that's a nice way to make those items accessible through a grep.

[1]: Each day begins with a `\n# YYYY-MM-DD` section heading, then I use the ordering of my day's tasks in the list to indicate priority. `- ` prefixes an incomplete task, `* ` prefixes a completed task, `~ ` prefixes an obsolete task (similar to your xit), and a generic note doesn't have any predefined first char. One or more pair(s) of spaces indent subtasks or notes as appropriate.

A reminder for those hiring "remote but only within your country" that there is a large list of Service Providers called PEOs (Professional Employment Organizations) that will setup all the legal, HR, hiring, benefits and employment process for you locally in most countries around the world. Some of the ones that I know:

* via.work ( https://via.work/ )
* Globalization Partners ( https://www.globalization-partners.com/ )
* Omnipresent ( https://www.omnipresent.com/ )
* Velocity global ( https://velocityglobal.com/ )
* Deel ( https://www.letsdeel.com/ )
* https://remote.com
* https://www.oysterhr.com
* https://gusto.com
* https://papayaglobal.com
* https://pilot.com

This has been a solved problem for some time, and even allows employers to provide Stock Options to their international employees, if desired.

So, payroll should not be a limitation in hiring people remotely internationally. Culture and communication may still be for your company though.

I am sure that most of us who write here do not have the power to make these decisions, but making your manager aware of this may give your team an advantage.

Edit: (added other PEOs mentioned in replies). Thank you!
Novo Nordisk (the maker of the newest insulin Levemir) spends about 17.8b kroner a year on R&D (or about 12.6% of their revenue). Levemir was introduced in 2005; they've long since made up any R&D costs. The first synthetic insulin (Humulin) is from 1978. These aren't new medications, even Lantus is over 20 years old. The R&D costs don't factor into the price they charge at this point.
I do something similar but I include informational notes as well (not just action items/todo's).

* incomplete todo

~ completed todo

- informational

Each day I create a new note, titled by date. Grep the folder for topics or incomplete action items. No tooling or overhead needed. I have never felt the need to syntax "ongoing" or "obsolete" items. It's either open or closed.

Yup, we need to socialize disentangling these things. Most cannabis users I know use edibles and seem in great health.

Also cut your edibles with CBD. A 1:1 mix is good to prevent the “overdose” scenario
1 the canals in question are already in California.

2 they have more than enough peak power to desalinate as it stands. Even in the case that they wanted more, there are better places to site those solar resources than on those canals. (Which canals they'd be better off not using in the future in any case.)
Yes! I went to a talk given by a security researcher who proposed using the difference in clocks between north bridge and south bridge to generate randomness.
Jassy recently spoke to TIME about what drives him–and Amazon–to keep reaching.

What a puff piece. I don't know if "TIME100 Most Influential Companies of 2022" is some sort of Forbes-stye pay to play or what, but FFS if you have an opportunity to talk to someone like Jassy, get to the heart of issues like antitrust, and dig deeper on claims like "Earth’s most customer-centric company" and "If we look at the feedback we get [from 3rd party sellers], it’s much more positive than it is negative".

ETA: Does anyone really think Amazon is the world's "most customer-centric company" now? It's a notorious online bazaar more known for fake reviews, bad customer service, copycat junk, and bringing down the respected brands it touches. Maybe it's a different vibe among AWS customers ... can anyone address?

That caught my attention too. I work on AI consulting and have a reasonable sense of the ecosystem. There are certainly big players that claim "AI" as part of their consulting business, e.g. Deloitte, but they are well removed from any of the research and really just selling dashboards or something with a new name.

A 1.5 page resume sounds ideal to me. You have a big empty block of space on page two to write notes. What's not to like.

>But you keep electing politicians that choose the free market

Ba ha ha ha ha. Let me tell you how 'free' the market is if I decide to open up Notch's Medical Clinic without a long list of licenses/permits/regulatory compliance. If I manufacture and give you a pill without extensive process of authorization by the FDA to use this pill as a drug. Healthcare is expensive in part because there isn't a free market.

A free market would rip the bloated competition currently present into shreds.
Ask HN: Algorithms to Automate Testing of AI?
What algorithms are available to test the performance of an AI agent in an automated way? Maybe creating a maze with obstacles to avoid, or rendering characters with slightly random ways to check whether it detects them. Any other method?
Im very compelled, have spent a lot of time working towards this kind of future. Work like 9p, of externalizing state & unpacking it, feels key.

In general, trying to make a pallete of tools on hand, rather than big apps with many tools inside, feels like something the command line alone has going for it at this time. It's hard to imagine otherwise. A lot of this talk is about the idea of a substrate, but execution, running things, composing processes... the what do we do once we have a substrate craves more exploration.

I believe in this future with an intense belief; I dont see what we are up to as good for humanity. We build infernal machines, trapping users inside tools. This is not an acceptable setup, we are not able to engage genuinely with the material about us; the consumer experience must make outroads to become more than shadow play, more than a shadow of marionettes for those chained to the wall.
They probably couldn't/wouldn't wait. I looked at the VESA version when the display was announced and it was backordered until mid-May.
Crickets from the usual crowd who would be crying "cancel culture!" on all TV and radio for weeks and calling for heads to roll had the tweet been about something other than a cause they support (military worship).

Governments and companies continue to get more and more empowered to do this stuff because people always show that it has never really been about freedom but rather pushing their own views.
According to this article, the market was working. Various generic insulin was approved and the price for some insulins was dropping or holding steady:

https://www.goodrx.com/healthcare-access/research/how-much-d...

>> Like generics, follow-on products have also helped to bring down insulin prices overall. Generics contain the exact replicas of the active ingredients in a brand-name medication. But biologic drugs like insulin are nearly impossible to recreate. So sometimes, manufacturers make close copies of them instead, known as “follow-ons” or “biosimilars.” Biosimilars tend to be more expensive than generics but less expensive than brands.

>> For example, Admelog was approved as the follow-on to Humalog in 2017. The average retail price for a 3mL vial of Admelog is now $54, compared to $123 for the same-size vial of Humalog. Lantus has a follow-on, too: Basaglar, approved in 2016. By price per insulin unit, Basaglar is 23% cheaper than Lantus. In July 2021, the FDA also approved insulin glargine, a biosimilar to be used interchangeably with Lantus. In its first quarter, retail prices for a unit of insulin glargine were about 60% lower than retail prices for a unit of Lantus.
Maybe. It could be a very unlikely random process, at least to start with, or the conditions for it to occur might be unlikely.
Canadians mount flags far less frequently than Americans do, especially on private homes.

There are neighbourhoods where nearly every single house has a flagpole with the American flag in it. In my ~4km x 4km area where I walk my dog regularly, I can think of one house that has a Canadian flag—and that’s the Kwakwaka’wakw design (https://www.canadiannativeflag.ca).

There are occasional flag decals, but many of them are also Pride variants of the Canadian flag.

I see more Canadian flag decals on businesses (but usually in a group of decals, including pride flag decals, city decals, etc.) or maple leaf accents to business logos, in part because there is some signalling going on that "we are a Canadian-owned business" (even if it isn’t really true anymore, like Tim Hortons). I rarely see Canadian businesses flying a flag or mounting a flag in store.

Canadians often have Canadian flag patches or decals on luggage &c. when travelling so that it’s a signal that ”we aren’t American” because we often get confused with Americans and treated poorly because the Ugly American Tourist stereotype exists, with reason.

There’s likely to be a bit of a drop in flag flying because the signals have been sent by Canada’s white nationalists that the flag is theirs given their raucous and obnoxious displays in Coutts and Ottawa, which has left an even bigger distaste for overt nationalistic displays than Canadians usually show. (We are proud of being Canadian, but we’re not obnoxiously patriotic most of the time, and we are mostly disdainful of outright nationalists.)

There’s one other point: it is seen as downright unAmerican for a politician to not be wearing an American flag pin on their lapel. The Canadian equivalent is not wearing one of those crappy disposable Legion poppies in early November (we’ve seriously had politicians called out for wearing an enamelled poppy).
Fantastic writing.

A lot of 1970's manual transmission cars were like this. I had an early 70's AMC Gremlin. The shift knob was just a vertical rectangular rod. The transmission linkage were two parallel horizontal rods with a notch cut in each. The vertical rod just floated between these, and you had to pull left or right and slide back or forth until you found one of the notches - then once you were engaged, you could push or pull the linkage to go into a gear. When the knob drifted, you really had to have a visual in your head of where the notches were and what gear you where in.
