Well just to put in some more anecdotes, I sold a home in December and did not offer a home warranty. My agent did not care and the home sold quickly without one.

And several friends and family have purchased real estate in the last few months; again no home warranty offered or expected in those transactions.
Actually this is a great truck for people "that the local Sunbelt Rentals manager is on a first name basis with." They often are working on projects with a generator, and typically are not far from where they sleep at night. The truck hauls tools from the hotel where they spent the night to the job and that is about it. Then they plug the tools into a generator - which this truck is.
There are several methods for pitch tracking of audio inputs that reach up to 99.9% accuracy on certain datasets. CREPE and pYin are just about state of the art. Granted they don’t have a batteries included way of doing real-time voice-to-midi but it’s more an issue of packaging. Electroglottography is cool but isn’t necessary for this task.
I’ve been on an off a few times since maybe 2015-2016.

To be honest, usually there’s something interesting going on on this site, and I’m bored a lot. Even if the “interesting” is something bad.

Certain topics do generate good discussion, and in retro tech threads there’s always some good war stories. HN seems to be particularly good at curating a lot of good material related to systems programming particularly, and I have dozens of very high quality articles on various subjects saved.
Serious question: At that point, why not take a caffeine pill or drink the powder? It's likely far cheaper and more efficient if you only drink coffee for the buzz.
Ford has found value “sweet spots” with the $39k electric F-150 and the $19k, 30mpg Maverick. They are both very reasonable vehicle choices that almost any household could make use of.

Oh yeah, like my original stance was that basically the 8GB MBP exists to have a cheaper entry price, and to have something that's a no brainer upgrade to make users actually looking for a professional machine buy the next one up.
It means the parts of society that were previously hiding are now visible and interacting with you. This can be jarring.

The societal unity we remember never existed. People who are different were just hiding or invisible.

To avoid stereotypical-for-usa examples (gays, immigrants, blacks), go ask a teenage goth growing up in a small town in the 90’s what it was like to be the only goth person in their entire environment. Bet it was super fun and they felt totally accepted by all.

Now go back 30 more years and someone in a similar position wouldn’t even have had access to information that would tell them it was possible to be anything other than $vanilla. They felt different and had no way of knowing that’s okay.

The Jackass Forever documentary, of all places, shared a really good insight when they said ”You can’t even comprehend what a big deal MTV was in the 80’s.”.
It really depends on the air flow in your gym. Mine has pretty low ceilings where the free weights are, but the cardio hall used to be a gymnasium/basketball court.

Also, most people aren't isolating and taking home grocery delivery except for when they go, unmasked, to the gym. It would be hard to measure in the best of times, and our extremely high community spread levels make it pretty much impossible to quantify the risk posed by going to the gym specifically.
I would argue 2019 was a lot better than 2022. Seeing Russia transform itself to an oversized version of North Korea mixed with strokes of Nazi Germany is not what I expect of a timeline that is continuously getting better. And now Turkey is rattling its weapons too. I fear we are heading for some increasingly dark times.
In general I believe small-time farmers should provide at least some of rhe labor. Otherwise you end up with gentleman farmers just paying low wages to the actual labor.
Using this with materialized views could be very useful!
That seems awfully expensive for a generator… our 22kw generac was ~5k … I guess we spent about 1k digging trenches and laying conduit…

But that was it … installation is nothing more than installing a 100amp breaker in your panel … and the $30 lockout tab.

Author here. Thank you for the tips, and thank you for the feedback!
I love this so much, I've been waiting to see if they ever have a sale, but honestly it's worth the full price.
>Surprised there’s no discussion on the price delta here - I could buy 10x power-walls for $110k, or 1x E F150 for $40k and get a free truck thrown in.

The reason there is no discussion of price delta is at least partially because the price of the truck discussed in the article is not the $40k variant. 10 Powerwalls would be 140 kWh of battery while the $40k F-150 Lightning would be 98 kWh. The one mentioned in the article with the 131 kWh battery is nearly double the price starting at $72.5k. That still might make the F-150 the better solution, but accuracy is important.
I come here out of a bad procrastination habit, however I do find a lot of the comments and discourse to be highly valuable. It's a nice break from other forms of social media where the principe of charity is thrown out the window.

> Unless you're in an area with common widespread natural disasters there's no reason to expect a 7 day outage ever.

Are thunderstorms considered a natural disaster (sincerely asking)? I've lived in a few states, in a few rural areas and sometimes storms would knock power lines down for a handful of days. I don't remember any 7 day stretches, but 2-4 days was not uncommon. Even more in the winter when I was in a snowy area.
Nope. There is no such "standard worldwide". Read the article I posted. In most countries private insurance either replaces public insurance (in countries whose system uses an individual mandate like the original ACA) or as the article puts it, "complements it", for "faster access to specialty doctors or elective procedures."
Supercharger network, much longer range, significant investment in battery technology that should make their cars comparatively cheaper, FSD when it arrives, fantastic safety scores and cult like brand loyalty. Tesla has a lot going for it atleast for the next 5-10 years.
I am drawn to HN for its diversity of content.
Anything that is expensive is going to be used less than other options that are free.

Personally I've worked in VFX, Internet, medical companies, and while there were a few things got photoshoped here and there externally we almost always used something else, whether expensive or free.
I don't recall seeing reviews of such length and style for a product on Amazon. Is it only Haribo Goldbears that elicits such heartfelt, eloquent and entertaining reviews?
For that to happen, the value of the data it extracts would have to be greater than the cost of installing and paying for a cellular modem and the data fees over its lifetime.

I think most of us aren't worth it, as it would take away from the upfront profit of the machine to add features people aren't told about just to get a few years of "Subject opened left door. Temp 39 degrees. Subject used ice maker." or whatever.

So someone recently linked to this post https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm and one of the techniques mentioned harmonises with this sort of post. Not saying your pain isn't real OP, just that folks should consider perhaps why you feel hopeless (hint: youre being manipulated)

Technique #4 - 'INFORMATION COLLECTION'

Information collection is also a very effective method to determine the psychological level of the forum members, and to gather intelligence that can be used against them. In this technique in a light and positive environment a 'show you mine so me yours' posting is initiated. From the number of replies and the answers that are provided much statistical information can be gathered. An example is to post your 'favourite weapon' and then encourage other members of the forum to showcase what they have. In this matter it can be determined by reverse proration what percentage of the forum community owns a firearm, and or a illegal weapon. This same method can be used by posing as one of the form members and posting your favourite 'technique of operation.' From the replies various methods that the group utilizes can be studied and effective methods developed to stop them from their activities.
DNA testing already exists within a restricted framework. It's not like parents can pick subjective physical traits when expecting a babies. It doesn't seem crazy to me to expand the list of diseases we test for.
Water usage is an exaggerated concern because people misuse statistics.

There are places where water usage _is not a concern at all_. In Iowa we take rainwater and pipe it to rivers faster, the opposite of irrigation. A gallon of fresh water "saved" in agriculture in Iowa is meaningless. More than is necessary comes from the sky.

Water usage is a problem where people are trying to grow things where there isn't enough water (i.e. much of California), in those places agriculture needs to be more selective about what it grows and needs to grow less as to not overburden water sources.

In Iowa though half the state would be standing water much of the year if we didn't actively drain our fields, griping about how much water growing corn "uses" is absurd in that situation.

> It's pretty disgusting how little small-time farmers make

As a small farmer, I think it's amazing how much I can make. For approximately a month's worth of work, I make more than my wife does working all year long. And I have 11 other months free to work in the tech industry.
Surprised at the statement that very few new computers have serial ports. I guess true for macs, but most PC motherboards still come with a superIO-type thing that offers 1 or 2 16650A UARTs.

It's all in the quality of the comment. The site guidelines try to help with pointers like this: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

The main things to do are (1) edit out swipes (e.g. "might be hard to understand for $group"), and (2) add enough information to make for a substantive comment.

All three companies I have been at make heavy use of architecture diagrams, though their rules and prevalence vary from team to team. In fact I can't imagine a high functioning software organization taking a project from requirements gathering to production support without having ever made an architecture diagram.

However, teams usually do not follow any hard rules like UML. A box with text, a connecting line, and a grouping border can all mean anything, and the subtleties of their actual implementation are still trapped in the lines of code and minds of architects.

I would definitely recommend drawing diagrams of systems you create or work with. If there is not one at work, and you're struggling to grasp the big picture, start making one yourself. Start with the pieces you know and put in ambiguous boxes for the pieces you know exist but don't know what they do. I do this even for solo side projects when they have more than one physically-separated component. This will help you catch bad logic and inefficiencies early, and find the best implementations for new features down the road.

I have used draw.io (now diagrams.net), LucidChart, Microsoft Visio, and they all get the job done. I'll recommend the first one as it's the most open.

Agree with you 101% on the dealer buying experience. Even just doing some shopping/research these days has left a sour taste in my mouth for buying another vehicle that way.

That being said, Ford has announced they're splitting their company into two: One for ICE vehicles, one for all electric. They're not saying much about who'll be handling the selling/distribution of the electric vehicles in the future. And dealer associations are rattling their legal sabers looking for answers.

Also, VW and their announced release of an all new Scout, under it's own brand, has also made little comment if current VW dealerships will carry it or what...

So there seems to be a move by Ford and VW to try (with new brands) the direct sales route with delivery/service centers similar to Tesla. However, that may be a long time coming with all the potential legal battles, etc.

I, however, also wonder if this move by VW/Ford is just to get the dealer associations to spend more lobby money and get direct-to-consumer car sales illegal in many more states, which seems the likely move by Dealers. This, then, would be a feign by the Manufacturers to hurt on particularly strong brand in the EV space.
Is that for some kind of use-case where you can't use SCP?
It's so american how you think, I'm cringing. Helping the WORLD, just that ? Let's all try to first help ourselves maybe a kid or two of our own, and we'll see if we have time for the "world".

Ofc you now think "the fabric of society is at risk of collapse" since the disappointement you felt when you realized the world barely even spoke english, let alone asked for your help, crushed you into depression.

I dont like when boomer say we're basically vociferating snowflakes but serious you talk only in hyperbole centered around you enormous power over the entire planet. Read yourself, focus on things you can act upon.
I want to be clear ... we do need to solve problems, of course. "What about X" doesn't mean "we shouldn't do anything now". It means "where were you when we needed to do something before? Will you now turn your attention to, say Yemen, or Libya, and fix the problems there?"

If the answer is no, if the person is fixated on a specific "bad actor", then you can suspect they don't really care about the specific problem they're describing (famine, oppression, etc.) but rather want to use it as an excuse to organize something powerful against the "bad actor". If people stopped identifying the populations of countries, which number in the tens or hundreds of millions, with their government, then they would see that they should be on the side of the people, and not play these games of choosing sides.

Of course we do need to avoid wars, support diplomatic solutions, and stop playing games of empires promising and meddling in other countries' affairs in order to rip their populations away politically and economically from one or another "ally". There is room for multiculturalism, for democracy, some people prefer one thing, other people prefer something else.
Most wars start because there is some binary choice imposed on an entire population, A or B, and some of them don't want to go along with it. Here in the USA, it could be abortion. But for example, in Ukraine, people could trade with Russia AND trade with EU, without having to choose sides. It's just that China, Russia and USA keep influencing or outright dominating politics within other countries, and have been doing it for decades. If we want to move past empires causing misery around the world with this competition, then we have to call for collaboration and expand the Geneva conventions with more human rights for populations within countries. We need to set up rule-based systems that can de-escalate conflicts, including nuclear conflicts, before they arise. Instead, we spend all our time blaming the other countries, and letting war hawks escalate. For cooler heads to prevail, they need to start systematically pushing back against escalation and imperialism, and towards de-escalation and collaboration.
Yes. Scopes are complicated e.g.,

class Foo:
a = [1,2,3]
b = [4,5,6]
c = [x * y for x in a for y in b]

The goalposts here are different from a normal "paradox".

The actual solution is explained right there on the page, the expectation for both envelopes (one has x, one has 2x) is x*3/2, so switching changes nothing.

The "solution" demanded is supposed to be pointing out the specific logical error in the erroneous calculation that says switching should win. Citing the correct logic is not considered sufficient.
>not many people would really want to pump out ten kids and watch six to eight of them die of childhood diseases, which was about the pre-industrial norm

Wasn't something like 50% childhood mortality more typical?
The right resolution is: suppose the two amounts are $50 and $100. If the envelope you have contains $50 and you switch, your gain is $50. If it contains $100 and you switch, your gain is -$50. So your expected gain from switching is (0.5)(50) + (0.5)(-50) which is zero.

The way that they fool you is by saying that you either double your money or you halve it, leading you to think that your expected ratio is 2.5/2. But that isn't correct. That ratio doesn't mean anything. That's the wrong step.
I can see the reasoning in that, but in my 20 years in industry this has never come up. When my first child was born I spent a whole year with him, and the only person who was concerned about a twelve month "gap" was me. Take the time to care for yourself.
> It's not much of a civil war.

It is definitely a civil war.

Hit squads from the West were operating in the East, and the Ukrainian Army has been bombing, mortaring, and rocketing civilian and non-military targets back in 2014.

A good example is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pooFkZzmtNc in Lugansk (warning, this is very graphic) also covered under https://www.osce.org/ukraine-smm/119479

> Those separatists are mostly Russians acting on Putin's orders. I don't think there was ever a majority in Donbas for independence or joining Russia. The only reason the separatists got as far as they did, is because they were entirely propped up by Russia.

When I've been in Ukraine pre-coup and pre-war, the Western part is completely in the European sphere, and loosely connected to Russia. Sure, they may speak Russian, Ukrainian and some English, but they think of themselves as Ukrainians.

Eastern Ukraine is really little Russia, ethnically, language, culture, economics, all Russian. One of the guys I know there, prior to everything w. the coup and all that, just uprooted and moved to Moscow. Of the friends there, many held Russian passports, with family in Russia.

Though, I'm sure this is subjective and can be argued, so I'd rather not go into details.
If it doesn't support macOS or Windows, how do you suggest developers on those platforms use it? An install guide for those platforms (even if it's mostly Docker commands) would be extremely useful.

Yeah, I was pretty sure that was the case but just to be certain:

>>> from dis import dis
>>> dis(greet)
4 0 LOAD_GLOBAL 0 (print)
2 LOAD_CONST 1 ('Hello ')
4 LOAD_GLOBAL 1 (name)
6 BINARY_ADD
8 CALL_FUNCTION 1
10 POP_TOP
12 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
14 RETURN_VALUE
>>> dis(greet1.greet)
4 0 LOAD_GLOBAL 0 (print)
2 LOAD_CONST 1 ('Hello ')
4 LOAD_GLOBAL 1 (name)
6 BINARY_ADD
8 CALL_FUNCTION 1
10 POP_TOP
12 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
14 RETURN_VALUE
So, my ONLY guess as to how there can be a strategy is that, if the number you see is positive, you keep it, and if the number you see is negative, you switch. My reasoning is this:

1. If the number you pick is positive, then there are technically (although arbitrarily small) more negative numbers that can be chosen for the other envelope. So you have a slightly larger than 50% chance of winning.
2. The inverse is true if you chose negative, however.

That said - I think this would generally imply you should always switch, which is why I'm not convinced I'm right. Consider a purely positive set, for example. If my number shows up as "12" - then I know there are infinitely more numbers larger than it, but only 11 numbers lower than it. But this starts to feel like the original two envelopes paradox.

tldr; I'm not sure of the answer, although I think if I saw the answer I would have an "Aha!" moment.

> HN has made me more arrogant when it comes to IT discussions.

I’ve always been rather conservative in these types of discussion, even to the point of leaving a conversation to verify things I’m already confident about.

But I’m just floored at the absolute confidence of things people will say despite them being trivially refuted. I saw someone ask for help configuring some ASP.NET application on IIS and this other person with the utmost confidence told them to abandon IIS because it “had a lot of CVEs” and when asked for an alternative provided an FTP server.
