One of the annoying things about TADS games from the user perspective was the limited selection of interpreters, because it wasn't open source. The Z-machine interpreters could be pretty nice and were widely available.

Biodegradable so they can keep making it, and you can keep throwing things away and buying more to feed their profits, because it's "environmentally friendly"?

I already have to deal with rotted cardboard insulation, mice-chewed foam and the like when restoring old products; with things like this, it makes me wonder what those of the future will have to face, or indeed whether there will be anything left to preserve. The mentions of "regulatory action" are likewise similarly disturbing. Perhaps historians will call it the eco-plague.

A car, plane or whatever should only have one driver/pilot. Planes have dual controls by default but this sort of nonsense should not be allowed to happen.

This was not AF447 so what on earth happened? I'm guessing inadequacy of some sort and that's on the industry as a whole.
The device itself does not have a microphone. I imagine that you would use your phone's microphone if you wanted audio. Most drone-chasing shots use this method, a microphone on the subject is much better at capturing the sounds you actually want to hear.
Worst case I've seen of that was a pilot hired to fly a private jet mostly being used as an unrelated to aircraft general maintenance man because there were no clients for the recently purchased private jet.

> The biggest mistake I see PMs make is coming in with an over optimism bias and assuming that your product must be top of mind for all users when the reality is that the most often scenario you discover from user interviews is that the problem you're trying to solve is of relatively minor importance to most people.

You see this come through in products all. The. Damn. Time.

Some PM, and probably one or more designers who were on their side, wanted an "experience". The user just wants to get in and out of your thing as fast as possible and in a way that requires minimal attention.

I just wanted to pay my fucking water bill. A barely-formatted HTML form with nothing else on the page would have been better than almost anything they might come up with. Anything but expert and extremely tasteful efforts to improve on that, will just make it worse. But no. The PM wanted an "experience".

And don't get me started on people in software who complain about users complaining about redesigns. Those users just wanted to do the three clicks they do every morning to do the one thing they do with your software, then forget about it again until tomorrow. You surprised them with a full screen "LOOK WHAT'S NEW" they didn't want and had to figure out how to get rid of, then made them waste some time playing "Where's Waldo" for the element they usually click, and maybe even made it so they couldn't figure out how to do that one thing at all. Of course they're not happy.

> It does not deliver on "speed of coding", precisely because everyone, even seasoned Go developers, keep hitting its many design pitfalls.

Well that’s a subjective statement. Are you basing that data or just your own feeling?

I love writing Go and I’m way faster in Go than Rust. If I need more acceleration, of course Rust is the place to be, but if I just need to hammer out an API, Go is going to be much easier to do that in. Also my code will be far more consumable than Rust because it’s way less complex and has enforced opinions.

> If you don't, you're just pushing the problem onto someone else.

Really? Maybe that happens occasionally but I’ve never had that happen. My Go services have been incredibly stable and easy to develop on.

With Rust your are pushing onto others code that’s very hard to understand because it’s a kitchen sink like c++. Go believes community is greater than the individual so it’s opinionated.

In general, I found this post incredibly inflammatory. Different tools are good at different things. Rust isn’t a panacea, neither is Go, but yes Go hits a sweet spot of lower level with rapid development. Why is that controversial to you?

Our Head of AI for an org of more than 700 people, had:

- never done any AI work whatsoever in their life, nor software, nor, apparently, any kind of tech/technical work in their lives

- blatantly lied on their Linkedin profile about past positions

- shown the inability of connecting their laptop to a printer

- told time and again the most outrageous lies about their competences (e.g., they said they had coded an automatic language translation software in Perl back in 2000), work done at the company and prior to their current role, and their life.

When HR contacted me after a complaint initiated by a colleague, to describe them I used the words: "they are the most incompetent person I have ever worked with".

The funny part is that despite their "sponsor" having left the company (the whole situation was so bizarre that to me the most likely explanation for their hiring was some sort of blackmailing or bribery), they are still employed (because for legacy companies it is more conveniente to make people inoffensive than fire them) and some of my colleagues are still drinking their lies like glasses of fresh water despite a few years of their semi-psychopathic behavior.

The world is an interesting place.

Plate tectonics is a fairly recent 20th century theory; I believe Australia's classification as a continent predates it.

I think it might be considered a continent because people were looking for a continent. Since Roman times, there was reputed to be a continent at the South Pole called Terra Australis. Captain Cook was looking for Terra Australis, but found Australia instead. They new they weren't at the South Pole, but they decided to call the place Australia anyway (Antarctica would not be seen until several decades later.) I suspect the continent classification was cast as soon as they started calling the place Australia.

Show HN: WeakVim, My attempt at a modular, transparent starter kit for Neovim
Hi all,

I _love_ Neovim. However, I think many parts of it could be easier to configure or understand, especially when it comes to LSPs. There's a ton of plugins that fill the gap, but some of them are sparse in documentation. There's also distributions like LunarVim that attempt to add a Doom Emacs-like layer above.

My approach is a bit different, simply giving an opinionated, modular, and documented configuration that an interested user can easily modify to their needs. It makes use of the most helpful plugins I've encountered to create the best experience I could muster while retaining an air of simplicity.

I hope this is helpful to someone out there!
I mean, that's an interesting point, but you have defined winning only on a macroscopic scale. On an individual level, winning takes on much more subjective criteria, and I think that's what people typically need information about when making language decisions. Quantity of users is interesting, but I'm certainly not writing an OS in Python because it ranks higher than C on TIOBE, and I'm not going to discount smaller languages that I can use effectively on the sole merit that other languages are more popular.

Languages are tools that solve a problem, and it is possible for them to both be used by relatively few people and still successfully solve a problem.

For example, though Elixir is not as popular as Go, Elixir might win for me because I think it has a better concurrency model. Elixir is not globally used more than Go, but nonetheless it is my winner, and the people who pour their time into the product have still done an admirable job.

Among several other less obvious ones, the unavoidable automatic updates were what finally pushed me to disable it, especially with bits of software that introduced breaking changes between versions that are now much harder to roll back and prevent a roll forward.

As someone who is pro nuclear from the standpoint of it makes sense as a transitional technology to displace carbon emitting sources while we discover and deploy carbon neutral technologies, I was stuck on one detail of nuclear - a surprisingly finite fuel supply.

At the current rate of consumption, we currently have about 100 years of obtainable uranium 235 on earth available to mine.

Alternative means of obtaining uranium are enrichment of significantly more available U238 and experimental techniques like saltwater extraction - both of which are very expensive processes and have not been deployed at the scale required for electricity production.

Due to how polarizing this subject is and the fact that I know no nuclear engineers, I haven't yet gotten a straight answer on what we will do when the fuel runs out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power#Uranium_resource...

> One analysis found that for uranium prices could increase by two orders of magnitudes between 2035 and 2100 and that there could be a shortage near the end of the century.[70] A 2017 study by researchers from MIT and WHOI found that "at the current consumption rate, global conventional reserves of terrestrial uranium (approximately 7.6 million tonnes) could be depleted in a little over a century".[71] Limited uranium-235 supply may inhibit substantial expansion with the current nuclear technology.[72] While various ways to reduce dependence on such resources are being explored,[73][74][75] new nuclear technologies are considered to not be available in time for climate change mitigation purposes or competition with alternatives of renewables in addition to being more expensive and require costly research and development.[72][76][77] A study found it to be uncertain whether identified resources will be developed quickly enough to provide uninterrupted fuel supply to expanded nuclear facilities[78]
If people move out of bigger cities to rural areas, why isn't that increasing sprawl? (That is, there is more low-density development in those places.)

To some extent this already happening. Many people moved out of the city during the pandemic. The people in desirable rural areas aren't necessarily happy about it. They are often upset about all the outsiders with more money moving in.

They probably wouldn't be very happy with their property taxes going up either? When there's increased demand for land in a certain town from newcomers, there should be higher land taxes for everyone according to Georgist theory, to keep the price of land zero.
> The law doesn’t increase liability with inflation (since 1872!) and hasn’t been amended since 1980.

This is one of my legal bug-bears. It really needs to be fixed. To use an example in my jurisdiction, theft becomes the equivalent of a felony when the value of the item stolen exceeds $5000. This law dates to the 1940s. That's about $65,000 today. It was not the intent of the legislature that stealing a cheap car carry up to 10 years in prison. At this rate it will soon be a felony to pinch a particularly nice steak.

The problem applies to every fixed dollar value in legislation. Fines are another big one. I'm pretty sure city council intended litterers to lose more than about one hour of average wages for littering in public.

I don't know why, I guess it is because I am on a VPN, but the process when I want to log in to Amazon is:

Enter username, which takes me to a different screen

Enter password, which takes me to a different screen

Enter password again, along with solving a puzzle where sometimes I can't even tell what the puzzle is asking. But if I do, it takes me to a different screen

Enter a code that is emailed to me asking me to authorize the computer

If I actually get the code in my email and enter the code, the page eventually reloads, and I am allowed to purchase items from Amazon!

I consider this to be a feature, since I want to use Amazon less and at each step I become more likely to wonder if there isn't anywhere else I can purchase the item that I really don't need anyway.

The Surface has come a long way. I had (and still have) a Surface Pro 3 that had pretty much everything going for it: excellent build quality, great high-res screen, nice optional keyboard and decent PC-grade specs. There were two major flaws, though:

1. Linux support was pretty bad. You needed a custom kernel for an enjoyable experience, and even that was pretty unusable on anything other than x11 GNOME.

2. The overheating was a dealbreaker. I presume this was either a driver issue or hardware failure, but the device would regularly hit 55c in normal workloads, which was a no-go for that sort of product.

It was so close to being the Linux iPad of my dreams, but fell just short. I might give one of the later models a shot someday, but I'm not really in a rush. Maybe once Alder Lake makes it's way into a decent Windows convertible, it will finally be The Year of the Linux Tablet.

As soon as I heard the plane was "unresponsive" to controls I immediately though pilot error just because how unlikely a plane is to be actually unresponsive to controls.

Edit: Wow - reading the report I see they got to a 24 degree pitch angle on go around? That seems high, I thought you topped out at 15 or so. This is Air France stuff all over again with the pitch up into a stall etc. I'd love to know how experienced the FO was.

"Eventually a point is reached whereby any further increase in angle of attack does not produce an increase in lift, and this point is called the stalling, or critical, angle of attack. Each airfoil has a different critical angle of attack, but with typical general aviation airfoils it is roughly 16 to 20 degrees. "

Pitch and AoA are different, but during a landing / go around you are in a low speed regime and it just seems like pitching to nearly 30 degrees nose up is excessive. Is that Air France's standard go around vs 10-15?

The true story might be that the captain saved this plane with his nose down inputs.

That's probably true, and it is a deeply unpleasant feeling. It seems like a binary customer experience: everything goes swimmingly, and that's great and you happily ingratiate yourself to the company, and then it doesn't, and it's very bad, but the company now has all the leverage and they can do whatever they want. The customer has no recourse, on an individual basis, with no collective power. Who is going to help, the regulator? Probably not in any impactful or timely fashion. At least with financial entities, the CFPB actually has teeth.
