Interesting.

Seems the same elsewhere, too, as per other replies.

I recall our phones, as I said, having a card slot and coin slot at the end.

I wonder if they retrofitted, with the goal of getting people used to cards, before removing the change slot entirely. This logic seems typical here.

But then the smartphone explosion happened, so just decided to never buy new payphones with slots only.

EG, rather than phase out for card only, they'd have years of spare parts and phones, as they slowly removed booths.
But it doesn't. The user isn't forced to cede that power to the developer(s). I don't know how you can possibly quantify it as "unjust".

Nope, miles are always a bad choice.
There are a bunch of features on Karoo that will show or indicate turns regardless of which screen you're on. As jfengel said, if you're going 50mph you should know where you're going and not looking at your computer. The other things being removed (battery level, gear indicator, shift mode) represent no realistic safety concerns.

I'm annoyed that I'm losing these features, too, but they are all firmly in the nice-to-have category. Just like bike computers in their entirety.

What's not reliable and tunable when using classic, cable operated gear shifting? I'm all ears, since my offroad bikes are usually getting thrown around a lot, are usually dirty and covered in mud... and gear shifting just works, no need to charge anything and require some adjustments once per year...

I understand that some people get excited about just any $shinynewtoy but unless you're in a position to take measurable performance gain out of it... it's really just a $shinynewtoy. There's a lot more performance to be gained with improving the rider, losing weight, etc.

Or maybe just stop being obsessed by specs, performance, results, comparing oneself to others and just start to enjoy riding.

Pregnancies happen, regardless of whether or not you’re interested in them

> They'd just have a bunch of uncles and aunts more than monogamous parents would bring to the table.

You’re skipping all the fun parts, like who’s the father? Whose eyes does the child have? Who gives up their leisurely lifestyle to help the mother who is now too busy and tired to have sex with anybody. Let’s say you know who the father is and he’s happily continuing his polyamorous lifestyle - how does the mother feel, who’s now stuck breastfeeding all day and feels like the only committed parent. Etc, etc…

Children introduce a whole rainbow of complications.

Electronic shifting is already the norm on bikes $5,000+. Shimano is about to introduce an electronic version of their 105 groupset, which will probably normalize electronic shifting on bikes in the $2,000+ price range. Electronic Tiagra and Sora are probably less than a decade away, which will drive that number even lower.
I always have my battery powered lights on when I'm riding on the road, even in the middle of the day. I run a bright red rear light (not flashing 100-200 lumens depending on time of day) and a bright amber or white front light (120 lumen amber during daylight, 200-800 lumen white near sunrise/sunset or when dark). Car drivers are very unaware of their surroundings, any additional indication I can give them to pay attention to me and not hit me is worth it for me. I want my lights to look like drivers expect car lights to look, as that's what they're trained to look for.

Is there a way to tie VSCode extensions to their VSCodium counterparts? I installed codium and started manually installing plugins, but realized that authors, etc don't match up. For example, the Rails plugin in official VSCode shows "周鹏" as the author and 245K downloads, but in codium it's "bung87" with only 3.9K downloads.

I'm just thinking about supply chain attacks. I don't personally review all extension code on the VSCode side, but there's a certain amount of (false) comfort when over 200K folks have downloaded a particular extension.
I'm not claiming any sort of rationality in this line of thought :-)

Yeah to be clear I'm not opposed to the semantics of how Rust manages lifetimes. I'm ... disturbed.. by the syntax.

It feels "bolted on".

Variable assignments and usages that borrow should be clear with a different syntax.

Lifetimes should not be lumped in the same box with other type parameters but instead broken out visually into some other sort of annotation on the type.

BTW I also think "std::move" in C++ is a hack. They should have introduced a new syntactical element for that as well instead of masquerading it underneath a pseudo-function.
No that's exactly what it is. It used to be if it was on the radio, it was pop. Now I guess it would be if it goes viral on Tiktok or trending on streaming platforms.

But if you are going to claim its an actual genre, like I've seen many do, then you will need to provide a description of the style that manages to include what people generally consider pop while excluding what they don't. And I've yet to see someone succeed. Because pop isn't a genre.

Amazon the gigantic e-commerce megacorp and AWS the cloud company are technically the same 'Amazon' but have pretty different work cultures. Being a dev on the bookstore and being a dev on EC2 are different experiences.

I've bought 4 cars from Carmax. (I have 3 kids.) I know I'm not getting the "best possible price." I don't care. I've bought cars from the standard dealership model, and I hate it so much, I'm willing to pay a non-negotiated, FAIR market value for a used car in order to avoid the sales-tactic bullshit and playing the haggling mini-game. I don't intend on ever buying a car from a NON-non-negotiable place again. The dealership model can die in a fire, thank you very much.
> technically it's a minor basilica, not a cathedral)

This is a category mistake, no? A cathedral isn't an architectural term, but a designation granted to the central church of a diocese (i.e., the seat of a bishop, hence "cathedra" which means "seat" in Latin). A basilica is both an architectural term and a designation.
But that's just a terrible financial system, in Brazil you would just wire that money, possibly with a call to your manager to ensure the transaction is ok. But even if you want to use a literal antique like a cheque, you should be able to specify who will be able to cash it out and the money should not leave your account before that is done.

(last time I got a cheque was 2 decades ago as an already semi-dead payment method)

>I had a dealership quote me $2600 for a required service package.

I don't get it. "Required" by whom?

Just say no, negotiate a better price, or take the car elsewhere.

>Getting the repair done by the dealer gets you a warranty by the manufacturer, which is the only additional value that I see.

No, the warranty exists regardless of where the car is serviced.
In most places where I worked, I signed an explicit consent form stating that all company-provided means of communication are for work purposes only, and may be audited. I suppose it's required by law.

So my rule of thumb for workplace is: expect no privacy.

If you want to use work-provided email, slack, etc to discuss things which you'd be very uncomfortable discussing in your office in the open, especially in the presence of your bosses, don't. Find a different venue.
I tend to update my Karoo pretty quickly, but I have never seen any indication that it would force an update, so I think people could stick with last week's version for as long as they want.

That being said, this week's update that removed Di2 also added some nice location-based auto lap features, which are way more useful than an icon telling me which gear I'm in, which I already know, so I updated.
that's it, but with a twist: stable with probable serious design flaws that might or might not jeopardise your assomptions and whole work upon it.

I find these types of questions invaluable as an interviewer, at least for mid-level to senior roles. And you're right, I am looking for an actual story, not just the lessons learned.

The problem with just asking about lessons learned is that anyone can memorize and rattle off a set of best practices they found in a blog post somewhere. That doesn't tell me whether they have relevant experience or not. Asking to tell me about a time when X happened and how they dealt with it cuts right to the chase, and I'm afraid there's a big difference in a response that comes straight from memory and one that's fudged or invented. The initial story might be great, but most people visibly struggle to keep inventing answers to probing follow-up questions about what happened. ("Did you consider Y as a solution? Would it have worked in this case?")

I sympathize, though - it's not like our brains have all our work experience indexed and readily available. The interviewer's choice of X is crucial. If the prompt is too specific, most candidates genuinely won't have a good answer. Too general and it won't help select for this role in particular.

An incidental nice thing about this type of question for candidates is that it can give them a sense of what this role at this company is actually like without their having to ask. I often even phrase it as "One of the challenges we're facing as a team is X. Can you tell me about a time when you faced something similar?" The discussions that follow tend to tell me loud and clear whether the candidate is a fit for the role.

Now, although I'm claiming fake stories are easy to spot, I don't know what I don't know. It's possible someone has taken me for a ride and I ended up giving them the 'strong yes'. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. If you're able to craft a sufficiently detailed fake story and talk about it off the cuff for a while in depth, then you probably have enough relevant experience anyway!

I’m a former engineer (was Principal at an SF company most of HN will have heard of), CTO (of startups nobody will know), and a former engineering manager and current product manager at a household name.

Engineers should develop product skills, but most of them are absolutely abysmal at it. But they should try.

One of the key things I run into is smart people thinking they are the smartest people in the room. Engineers tend to have this quality more than most. I can not overstate how toxic that can be when having a product meeting with a customer.

I think the article is broadly right, just remember: product management is much more about empathy than it is engineering, and it’s OK to leave that to somebody else in a commercial setting if you’re not prepared to be humble at every step.

I wrote my own[1] version of ledger-cli[2] that was a lot simpler in the format it accepts, but has features outside of the format, in the program, to do what I need/want. I have an import feature for csv files, a web interface for reports and portfolio tracking, and the usual cli features from the original.

I've got about 15+ years of transactions in a single file, and I have every intention of continuing forever.

I've been so impressed by how well plain text works for this, I always try to use plain text for as many other things as possible. Future proof. I got burned by MS Money going away, no proprietary formats again if I can help it.

An application developer spending hours refining a method/class/function to it's most optimized form is usually not worth the time. It's only going to be used in the application so the ROI is much lower.

The author of a library with wide usage spending hours refining a method/class/function to it's most optimzied form may actually be worth the time because that effort is amortized over hundreds or even thousands of applications. The ROI is much higher in that case.

Determining when it's correct to make that tradeoff is an important part of the job. Boost probably makes the correct tradeoff. But your average C++ application dev might need to make a completely different one.
Is there any technical reason to not support IPv6?
Pharmaceutical laboratory here: my colleagues, lab technicians, almost all have a scientific calculator on their desk and they use it quite often. The reason is they know exactly how to use it and when they're filling their paper lab notebook, it's in easy reach and faster than put the notebook away, unlock the computer, learn how to use the computer, then get back to the notebook and write the result.
Rust is really hard. So while people that don’t like Javascript still continue to use it, but people that don’t like Rust are likely to drop it like a brick.
As the sibling commentor said, syntax highlighting is only one example meant to illustrate Go's sometimes unnecessarily frustrating design. In case it wasn't clear, the example wasn't that Rob Pike doesn't like syntax highlighting. The example was that Go's playground doesn't have syntax highlighting (even as an option) for a reason as arbitrary as "because I said so".

That is why I find Rust and Go to be dissimilar. Rust is a language full of good ideas, almost all of which didn't originate in Rust. Go feels like it was designed with a very specific brief - "we want C but with GC and easy concurrency" - but whose designers otherwise had an NIH syndrome-like aversion to good ideas and common sense.
> As the primary mover of the MVP (who stopped working on Rust shortly after it was launched)

At the risk of rehashing something that has already been discussed to death, did you stop working on Rust because of the difficulty of launching that MVP? I imagine that all of the arguments involved, particularly about things that are prone to bike-shedding like the await syntax, could be exhausting.

Any idea where we should send money to get things moving again? Lack of money is always the biggest problem in open source, right?

FWIW, I only started seriously using Rust in the past year. I quietly watched and waited while the async/await MVP was being developed. I didn't participate in any discussions. On the one hand, that means I didn't exacerbate any exhausting arguments. On the other hand, I wasn't actively supportive either.
It’s not “blame”, it’s looking at causality to try to understand how to get us out of this mess. I’m looking at why race ideologies (and violence) have exploded over the last decade in the same way we would look at the causes of a crime surge.

It doesn’t absolve individuals, but it gives the rest of us an idea about where to focus our efforts: on the influential institutions who are driving race ideology on the left and right. It’s better to plug the leak than try and save the boat by scooping water out.

Anyway, right-wing violence isn’t the only threat—left wing people campaign against liberties (especially free speech and equality) and they have their own violence (nationwide riots, property damage, assaults, and even the occasional terrorism). Moreover, left-wing people have their own anti-democratic bent: the “not my president” stuff in 2016 and calls for revolution, agitating for and rationalizing political violence, etc. I’m not comparing left-wing and right-wing sins, but rather noting that we want to defend against both and mercifully the solution is the same: deradicalize institutions.

This all sounds like the solid advice I've heard before, but your very first line is where my disconnect lies. How is it not robbing my future self to divert that money into a savings account instead of having it sit in the 401k? All the money I would've had sitting in the savings account is likely experiencing growth (over time) in the 401k, making the chunk of cash that would've been sitting in the bank larger through growth. I have a decent percentage of the 401k in bonds, just in case the economy were to tank I'd still have some 401k to draw on (like a savings account).

I do see the issue with having to immediately start making payments back toward the 401k loan, but then I think you just take out a little bit more than what you would otherwise to cover those payments for the duration of the emergency.

Sorry if I sound combative, I am genuinely curious to the responses to these arguments. I'd be happy to find the flaw in my outline if it will help me make better decisions, I just don't see it yet.
