This is exactly right.

I believe we're conditioned to understand various fidelities of information based on the principles of design. These fundamental principles—things like contrast, balance, proportion, hierarchy, motion, and variety—help us determine how to interpret what we experience.

For example: a webpage that has clear hierarchy of information, is visually balanced, uses motion to attract attention and convey concepts, is much more likely to be interpreted as a final product. Whereas a page that is a bit disorganized may be understood as in early development.

The problem is most landing pages are one page, so the creator invests considerable time in making them look and work well, leading to the perception of a complete project.

Then when the time comes to build a fully functional website/product, there's a lot more to invest in and so less time is spent.

Paradox of shipping an MVP product or business, I guess.

I will say I don't really know how they come up with the maintenance numbers for EV or ICE. For a 2022 CR-V they quoted $7k for maintenance over 5 years which seems pretty high(4y/60k service plan would be under $2k easily from what I'm seeing), whereas a model Y over 5 years was at $700 which would be less than the cost of a single set of efficient tires rated for a vehicle as heavy as the Y.
it depresses me that you are being serious.

While you can technically discharge student loans through bankruptcy, the bar is much higher than traditional debts. I wonder what the consequences would be if that bar was lowered?
It would be cool to drive this setup to my mom’s or a friend’s and just take their vehicle for the week. Sub them out as needed for a charge.

Would be cool if a mass grid failure resulted in a callout for electric cars to drive over to a community centre or whatever.
I'm dubious honestly. For one, the separation of college costs from inflation started before 1993 and that's even called out in Bennet's op-ed from 1987. Secondly, the number of students enrolled has increased dramatically while the number of new colleges has not. Acceptance rates at elite schools have dropped precipitously in the face of increase demand. Same as skyrocketing housing costs, you can certainly see how certain policies have had an impact, but the overwhelming force is simple supply and demand. If we accredit 1000 more colleges next year, I guarantee that tuition will drop.
I used to hit OOMs on my 16GiB Macbook Pro pretty regularly, but that was IntelliJ + Docker + MySQL + Chrome + Debuggers + Google Meet + Slack

Someone using Chrome + Facebook or even a dev writing e.g. Python in VS Code to run locally is probably less likely to hit that.

> One mans lackluster features is another mans streamlined interface. MacOS at least goes out of your way most of the time.

That is really just not true. I don't even think one could consider it an opinion. Irregardless of what Windows does, macOS constantly gets in your way. Try to rename iTunes, because that's the only way to keep it from opening every time you connect your non-Apple Bluetooth headphones (there's a convoluted procedure to do so). Try to control the brightness or volume of an external monitor. You cannot. Even the monitor itself isn't as good as it is on Windows due to poor resolution and text handling on macOS, and a Macbook Pro with a discrete video card struggles to drive the monitor. External mice and keyboards are touch and go with macOS and reset settings nearly on a daily basis for me. Developer tools, such as asdf or others installed from Homebrew are incredibly finicky and often require workarounds depending on whatever macOS version you're on and whatever thing it decided to break. (For example, it's actually easier to get Erlang's observer running on WSL on Windows with the GUI interface than it is on macOS, which requires all sorts of hacks in Homebrew.) I don't know why Apple doesn't get the same hate as Windows, because my Macbook Pro constantly installs stuff all on its own. I get pinged by several apps to update through their own update mechanism on macOS.
I'd like to see student loan debt forgiven along with implementing a plan to address the cause of this ballooning debt. Unfortunately, this is the United States, and federal legislation on just about anything is currently impossible if there is any opportunity at all to turn it into a divisive issue. Even if the democrats managed to build a majority that would allow them to pass whatever they wanted, tackling a problem like this in a forward-looking way seems beyond them.
Which is unethical because the legal system is supposed to be fair and balanced. If someone is suing you frivolously then ask the court to declare them a vexatious litigant.
I did exactly that with the SUNY system. I could have probably gone to some "prestigious" place if I applied myself more, but I hated extracurriculars and all the other tertiary nonsense the applications seemed to expect of me. It should be about your educational and relevant (e.g. self taught programming demonstrated with projects) achievement, nothing else, IMO.

SUNY system worked out for me and I'm not embarrassed of it. They almost screwed up my graduation with a one credit discrepency in the requirements with the transfer. You have to be careful and do their job for them checking up on that, I've learned.
I’m not using Frontier, but I am using Setonix which is a large AMD cluster being rolled out in Australia. All of AMD’s teaching materials are about ROCm so this is very much how they’re expecting it to be used.

The real pain for us is that there’s no decent consumer grade chips with ROCm compatibility for us to do development on. AMD have made it very clear they only care about the data centre hardware when it comes to ROCm, but I have no idea what kind of developer workflow they’re expecting there.
It doesn't really seem that weird, Mosul is in Iraqi Kurdistan. It's a lot more like referring to some as specifically Basque or Catalonian rather than Spanish. Kurds have a language and culture that is very distinct from their Arab neighbors. Unlike your example, Iraqi Kurds have had their own constitutionally defined regional, semi-autonomous government.
Better languages change the way we think. First class functions make passing code around so easy and natural there's barely even a name for such a thing. It's just something you do without even thinking. In lesser languages, passing some function around is such a herculean effort people had to ritualize it into an accepted convention with a name and everything.

No matter what pattern we look at, we find it's actually hiding some absurd language weakness. Factories? They're just normal methods that hide the new keyword which introduces hard coupling at the ABI level and can't construct subtypes. Singletons? They exist to work around the fact that classes don't act like objects: classes with static state are natural singletons but they can't implement interfaces or be passed around as objects.

In better languages such as Ruby we discover that new itself is actually a factory method and nobody even realizes it. In Ruby classes are objects and natural singletons and there are no limitations to work around.
"State funding for higher education has declined by roughly a quarter, to $7,152 per student enrolled in a public two- or four-year school in 2015, down from $9,489 per student in 1987."

The article is not in disagreement with the thought that Free Federal Money displaces other sources.

Also, the article does not show why tuition has risen 1200% instead of 30%.
it’s intended now but wasn’t initially.

Burma/Myanmar unfortunately has more scrutiny because it's a current political issue. Some see the new name as associated with the current military government. The US officially calls the country Burma (e.g., CIA World Factbook: https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/burma/ )

Thank you, this is incredibly enlightening.

I am planning to go to AAA with a claim against an online ticket sales company that scammed my mother - I have screenshot evidence that they violated an FTC consent decree in the process. Amusingly the consent decree also mandates them to keep detailed logs on their behavior for 10 years so they should have excellent records as well.

I already spoke to senior attorneys at the FTC about it, but they couldn't really say anything back, and my understanding is that arbitration is the best option for my family to seek relief.

Would you be interested in this or have a recommendation for an attorney? I had planned to do it alone but your comment made me completely reconsider.

My email is in my profile
To the typical Anglophone, the French approach to managing French can seem absurdly authoritarian - how presumptuous to tell people how they should speak. But I do have some sympathy for the concept of a language authority. French does at least have a definition of what French is. I expect French to maintain cultural continuity for longer than English, which is so freewheeling and absorptive that it feels we are destined for schism and mutual incomprehension in the long run. In English, nobody can tell us that our usage is wrong, and we have no North Star guiding us along a shared linguistic journey.

> Remember, I purposely withheld detail and evidence in my filing, and yet I was offered a quick settlement. I would love to see the math that goes into this strategy.

I've never done arbitration, but I did pursue legal action against a contractor that defrauded me and I think the logic is basically the same.

Lawyers are constantly evaluating the cost (to their client) of further pursuing a claim vs the likelihood of succeeding. They know how much it will cost in time if it goes all the way to litigation/arbitration, and they have a fair idea what the outcome will be, but it's uncertain. They are always going to try to settle long before the end-game unless they are trying to make a point and it's worth wasting a bunch of money on.

In my case, my lawyer was very convinced that they were likely to settle for an amount basically up to about 75% of the amount it would cost to litigate. My claim was solid (he DID defraud me) but there was some possibility that a trial would find otherwise, so it was better for them to settle up to the point that it became worthwhile to roll the dice.

The emails between their lawyer and mine were about details of the dispute, not about the financial calculation I outline above, but that was just window dressing; the real decisions were made based on how much it would cost to litigate vs how much they would pay to settle.

The only place the facts of the fraud even came into it were as part of the calculation of how likely we were to prevail in court, but it was not at all precise; more like "given the facts, we are pretty likely to win but not certain".
They already paid for themselves in savings.

How? Where do you live that electricity is that expensive during the day and arbitrage rate is that high to create a thousand dollars a year in savings? I run my AC 24 hours a day at fifteen or more degrees below outdoor ambient on a decent sized house, with appliances that are better than twenty years old, and my total yearly electricity cost is under two grand. This math doesn't work.
Different types of diagrams highlight different aspects of a system.

If you can, try to put together 2 different diagrams presenting different views. For example, sequence diagrams, model diagrams, etc. each tell you something different. Having a few different perspectives on the same system will give you a richer understanding.

Not specifically related to visualization, but, also, if you spend a lot of time trying to understand a piece of code, once you understand it, document it (e.g. in a function or method comment). Over time, this makes a huge difference and will help you and others out when you revisit the code later.
I understand your perspective, but I disagree in this particular case. "Show HN" is obviously aimed at our consumption.
That there's no shame in being a 1x engineer. Some people have different priorities in life and that should be ok.
To keep it hot. If you don't heat your hot water, it becomes room temperature water.
You don't have to sacrifice that simplicity, actually. (And I insist on that simplicity being a wrong type, it'll bite users of your library basically right away, when they try to use it for anything apart from storage/serialisation)

But you can just give an upgrade path!
consider something like this:

class Address
attr_accessor :street, :city
end

class Person
attr_accessor :address
end

class AddressMapper < Shale::Mapper
mapped_class Address
attribute :street, Shale::Type::String
attribute :city, Shale::Type::String
end

class PersonMapper < Shale::Mapper
mapped_class Person
attribute :address, AddressMapper
end

# use like this
PersonMapper.from_xml("...."); PersonMapper.to_xml(person)

and then, for _dead_ simplicity, you can add another method
generate_mapped_class "Person"

which will define that PORO class for user for extra DRYness. API is basically the same, no repetition, but amount of rewrite with new requirements is drastically less.

I'm not asking you to rewrite your library, and I probably won't write and release mine, just saying that considering future self isn't that hard. And yeah, it's a bit of a rant about ActiveRecord from user of Rails, since 2006.
That definitely exists too. But I guess they already have some chance of getting fired.
I reluctantly agree--unless the forgiveness is coupled with new laws and regulations that substantially reform the system (perhaps by eliminating the federally subsidized student loan system altogether, and restoring the more generous grant system of yore).

If we do nothing to change the system, what are new college applicants going to think? Either they'll have to pay back their loans and, compared to those who wend before, get totally screwed. Or borrow with the belief that the debt will eventually be forgiven. Neither are good.

And, FWIW, I have a boat load of student-loan debt that I would absolutely love to have forgiven. But it's a bad idea unless the White House and congress are able to address the root of the problem.
It depends on jurisdiction of course but it is the same as logging in using a password you stole or guessed, which means you claim an identity that is not your own.

This with Icepanel
Someone else linked this battery earlier: https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-lifepower4-lithium-battery-48...

5kwh for $1500 with 3000 cycles is $.10/kwh. I'm oversimplifying here as the real cost is higher, but the arbitrage opportunity only has to offer ~$.20/kwh to be generally profitable with a battery like that.

Some time of use plans are already there daily. I don't think the person taking advantage of this sounds like any "kind of idiot".
If degree holders go on to make wages much higher than those without and many taxes are progressive, a subsidy on degrees will be paid for substantially by those with degrees (who may have had their degrees subsidized), and degree subsidization may have positive ROI for the government in terms of future tax revenue from those who got degrees.

If you're worried about administrative and sporting expenses, you could choose to subsidize only instructional expenses; primarily being instructor salaries, classroom buildings and equipment.
If your need is for CRUD, then using an ORM makes sense. In the case of Python that's easily achieved by using Django. And the skill required in how to use it is directly transferrable to how more complex software is actually written.
I’d rather lower the barrier of entry than punish the doctors. If it was easier to become a medical professional, doctors wouldn’t need to be paid so highly. We’re actually seeing a trend now of more people going into PA school which could help.
Another likely contributing factor: “Yale now has as many administrators as undergraduates”. The trend is similar for other colleges.

Thank you to the authors for not calling it the fastest computer in the world :-) and instead, as they should, the most powerful. Clock speed is not the only factor of course, as instruction per cycle and cache sizes have an impact, but for a pure measure of speed, the fastest still is:

I think there is a trilemma in uni funding:

1. Anyone can receive funds, regardless of cost/financial sense.

2. Anyone can receive funds, regardless of academic performance.

3. Burden on the state will be low.

There has to be a filter somewhere. Germany (and others) chose 1 & 3. It's cheap, but only available for good students (but tell me if I am wrong, I am not German).

For historical reasons, this is largely untenable in the USA: if they chose the same, it would be seen as enhancing privilege (both economic and ethnic) and a transfer from poor -> rich. Americans want to believe that education is a means to racial equality, a restoration of historical wrongs, and a land of opportunity.

America is forced to offer loans for all students at all institutions, even when they don't really believe it will be beneficial because of cultural ethos, and choose 1 & 2.

Fixing grade school education would go a long way to remedy this. Americans don't really believe in the fairness of their grade schools, and are unwilling to deny uni to students based on their grade school performance.
There’s no data in this article.

In his recent book, Ron Lieber argues that the actual price paid hasn’t gone up nearly so much as the sticker price because of the increasing ubiquity of merit aid (which is terribly named). How does that factor in?

He also points out that people’s expectations about what colleges provide have gone up. People expect small class sizes, mental health services, etc. If you argue colleges are just capturing extra money and not doing anything useful with it, I want to know where you think it’s going and why you think that?

The solution here sounds awful. I really like the diversity of college experiences available and I’d hate to see that homogenized. Which is not to say it should be a “blank check”, but it’s already not that — the max is calculated based on need, and families have to make up the difference. Plus loans aren’t cheap. So there’s already incentive for students to choose cheaper schools even if they qualify for more aid.
Moose looks really impressive, visually! I think it's one of the flagship Pharo applications.
I would edit that list down if I were you. I found some reasonable ideas but 90% of them are obviously bad or vague ideas or already exist (unsurprising since there are 300 of them!).

Quality over quantity!
Cut social media, caffeine, dairy and other processed junk from your diet. Get lots of rest, drink water and dedicate at least 15 minutes daily to meditation. Worship your family and take care of your friends. Don't over-complicate solutions to ancient and common human problems.
Pokémon Go was good for this before the pandemic. I had a Wednesday evening raiding group. Before then, I had a Friday night all-night gym takeover caravan.
It also varies. It can be over 50 cents some places and under 5 cents in others. In comparison, people complain how much more gasoline costs in California compared to elsewhere, but the difference between $6 and $4 doesn't really affect my $100,000 figure all that much.

So I can do the electricity math for myself, but not for others.
I wonder how do people come to a decision that it's a good idea to start their own text editor when vim and emacs exist. For this one my guess is the author is a c/c++ developer and wanted to have their editor cusomizable in their desired language. Would that be enough?

It's also not a common thing for projects like that not to start as FOSS.
It becomes especially awkward when those companies have their bluff called, get an onslaught of arbitration claims, and then try to backpedal into a class action. “We were just using an anti-class action language because we thought that would scare away litigation but now we want it” is not a super compelling story to have to tell a fair judge.

This happened to Intuit. Couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people /s. https://www.reuters.com/article/legal-us-otc-intuit/l-a-sant...
It depends on the jurisdiction but in the USA, generally the plaintiff is not responsible for the defenses legal fees.

You’re generally only responsible for the defendants legal fees if your suit was unfounded and purposefully used to disrupt or harm your legal opponent, rather than to seek remedy in good faith.

The defendant can be made to be responsible for your legal fees because those fees were “caused” by their action/inaction which was the unlawful source of harm that you are suing about.

Because the defendant “caused” the lawsuit as a direct result of their original actions against you. All costs that follow from their original harm are owed by them to make you whole.

If you bring a lawsuit as a plaintiff and lose, as long as it was a reasonably well founded lawsuit, there’s nothing to point to and say “ah ha! You injured me with your lawsuit that I won”. Because everything that happened was perfectly within everyone’s right (to bring a reasonable lawsuit but fail to secure a win).
This is quite helpful. I am hoping that soon Python will have a native packaging system.
I discovered this on the day pandemic was declared, god this tool is well polished and is so great.
It is closed source but that shouldn’t be a blocker, its not like every app we use is open-source and not everyone is going to take a look under the hood.
I think it was a two people team(a couple) if Im not wrong. Awesome work guys!
> I don't understand why so many people are afraid of arbitration either.

Two reasons:

1. People hear that arbitration favors the company not the individual, as such they think they are already set up to loose.

2. People aren't lawyers. Even highly educated (including those with doctorates) aren't likely to have had any classes on law. As such they don't know how to read contracts, don't know their rights, don't know the odds of them actually winning their case. To the layperson, the law is a mysterious construct best to be avoided.

I'm really happy this has made it into a release! Iterating on a NixOS configuration has been crazy easy for a really, really long time. The installation procedure never matched that level of ease and fluency for new users.

I think the new installer will help more people realize how easy Nix(OS) can be (and in some ways, NixOS is easier than trying Nix any other way), and invite them to dive in without feeling like they ought to somehow prepare first. Dive in, break it, roll back, and learn as you go! I think that's a learning process a lot of people find very natural, and I'm glad that the new installer makes it more accessible to NixOS users.
