Those “young buyers” from the 90s are now 50+ years old.

So literally nobody likes the dealership sales model. Even in the 90s the old buyers hated it too.

The only reason it still exists is because of successful lobbying by dealer networks over 70+ years ago to codify their business into law.
On the one hand, I sorta agree with you and I find some of the kneejerk anti-telemetry perspectives to be maybe overly paranoid. On the other hand, I do think there's a valid concern here because the telemetry is closed source.

Short of reverse engineering the official binaries and/or inspecting what it sends back to Microsoft, there's no way of knowing what it's actually collecting, which is understandably concerning given Microsoft's history. And you'd have to do that for every release, since any update could expand the scope of what they gather.

Personally, I don't quite care enough to bother doing something about it, but I can see why folks who are inclined to distrust Microsoft would not want to trust them on this.

Incredible! I'm a big fan this type of archival work. Great job!
You can hit "." on any GitHub repo's web interface to pop up a Code IDE. I would guess it's full of telemetry.
That’s a great idea. What kind of filter do you use?
Yeah exactly. The fact that a person who could never create such a picture on their own, now just has to go through a bunch of images and select one to get this result is already amazing. The goal posts keep shifting, glass half empty.
In the past you couldn't upgrade the memory in your C64, now you can open the case on any desktop and put in different RAM. Laptops are sometimes upgradable as well. The raspberry pi even comes as a bare board for hacking on.

The kinds of hacking you can do today are different, but things are just as hackable if you want. If you don't want to hack, just get things done, then today things are much better, computers mostly just work for people who need to get things done.
The software industry is maturing albeit slowly.

There are plenty of tools that lets you plan, organise and bikeshed over all the things you want to do, like Jira, but I think a much bigger efficiency booster would be one that helps you decide what not to bother doing at all.
There doesn't seem to be good control tests to say what difference the filters really make - seems one was added in in the comments, but it's missing important details (is the control with everything off? What happens if the fan is running on medium or high, etc.?

And, of course, it's not really practical in that most people really don't want to be sticking stuff on their ceiling, but it could be an interesting experiment with more details provided.
I take your point, but there is no way on God's green earth that I am going to look at a map for even an instant while descending that fast. My eyes are locked on the ground scanning for the tiniest crack or piece of junk that would send me to my doom.

I can't imagine going any direction except straight at that speed.

I've had HVAC techs tell me not to use those thick filters unless your system is designed for it. They make the fan work harder to pull less air. This reduces how much air it can move.
It partially succeeds at that, because while it has a much better story in being safe by default, there are plenty of C++ use cases where Rust still hasn't a story to sell.

If you have decent tech for both (digital & analog), it depends more on how much folding, spindling, and mutilating...er, um, I mean mixing & equalizing & processing & optimizing & shit...is inflicted upon the actual sound before it's actually recorded.

Last I heard (been some years now), record companies have preferred to do lots of inflicting upon the sound, before letting it near any digital format that ordinary folks can buy.
No, even for a traditionally calculator heavy job like accounting it is no longer necessary.

Most of the time I'm not dealing with a number but lots of them anyway so excel is just better both practically and as a mental model
Who cares? Governments classify just about anything and everything they legally can by default. It is a CYA move and there isn't a lot of thought put into it. If something needs to be public they figure they can always declassify it. The chances of any of this info actually mattering are miniscule.
You are right, data/concept drift affects both approaches.

What I meant to say was that retraining your model might not fix that if you baked strong assumptions into it. I edited the blog post to make it clearer.

IMO if Shimano could DRM their chains and other consumables they would.

> This question should be asked to the Swiss themselves, not to any outsider like me. ... To let outsiders decide what a country should be called, despite the country itself objecting, is beyond weird to me.

Exonyms are very much a question for the outsiders. Nothing even remotely weird about it.

> How would you like it when your colleagues decided to call you by another name, just because they liked it better?

But they very often do, so what can you do about that? For example I seriously doubt that any large group outside of China calls Chinese nationals with proper tones, so that's over one billion people being "called by another name" in one fell swoop.

That is exactly what I hope to express in my sibling comment.
Increasing the friction (be it UX or multi-device usage) might make my hesitation to manage my financial situation bigger and I might cease to manage it. This would be quite a bad scenario (well, at least for my savings ;) )

I really, really don't understand why the model won't die. I'm guessing regulatory malfeasance.
You paid for the physical hardware. You’re free to install AOSP on it if you’d like.
Sloppy and chipped paint is pretty crazy when you're paying $130k+ for a car.
It was kind of a brilliant move by Shimano, in retrospect. Since Shimano did share with them how to do everything, it makes it much harder to now go and implement those features after the contract has been invalidated.

Seems like a good time for SRAM to realize they should open up info on how to let others create apps for the Hammerhead devices to let indy devs figure out how to reverse engineer Shimano's system.
Front end or back end? I see nothing wrong with rust on the back end, not sure how it would even work on the front
Neat idea however air filter changes would be extremely expensive as its about 5x the air filters of a conventional purifier - which already seem to cost around 50-100 dollars to replace.
I've interviewed a lot of Amazon folks at my current job for software engineering roles. The one question they've all asked about my current company is how is the work-life balance. I don't get that so much from candidates who are coming in from other firms.

This is where you get conservatives who will point to every single Fortune 500 company putting out job searches with a preference on minority candidates, affirmative action policies that disadvantage white and asian people etc. And speaking of asian people, they make more money than white people and get arrested at lower rates, so then conservatives will say maybe those sorts of "systemic differences" are not so much based on race, but rather on culture.

You're throwing 12 - 16 pound balls about 16 mph in a way that causes the ball to spin. That takes a decent amount of arm and upper body strength to do it well consistently. Some amount of fitness is required.

If bowling paid like the NBA, you'd see very few non-fit pro bowlers.

At $5 million over 42 years, you bowl because you like it, not because it makes money. People who are fit but are otherwise not good enough to play high-paying professional sports can probably find better paying jobs elsewhere.

Professional bowling is populated by the people it is populated with partly because this is as good or better an option than others that they have.

If they don't pay for my infrastructure then they don't have control over it and don't get to make directives about how it's configured or managed. I've been mostly remote for my 20 years of working. Sometimes, even recently, issues have cropped up because employers expect it to turn on and off like the tap, but I'm doing a network upgrade. Sure I've got my own connection, hell, I think we'll see companies in the future having corporate accounts to install second connections in home offices. It would make sense to get the control, the discounts, and stay the hell off my network with work stuff.
The keyword to look for is usually Auto-NUC (non-uniformity correction) or just auto-calibrate. Usually in terms of minimum time and/or temp change.

Great work and many thanks! I was just ranting recently about abandoned hardware and what a waste it is (gTar, Glass, Aibo, iPods, and more). I still have a couple of TPs (new!) in the basement that will benefit from this archive. I really liked WebOS - it seemed ahead of its time.
This makes as much sense as saying all the nice Americans are the ones who decided to leave the US. But somehow that would be outrageous.
They (somewhat reasonably) took "filled up" as "times charged". I did originally, but then when that distance was pointed out I got you meant you did a few smaller charging sessions and only one big to 100% charging session to make the trip.

If that's not what you're suggesting then that was not done in any commercially available EV in the US today. Even starting closer to the California border like El Centro and only making it to fringes of Houston like Katy is ~1330 miles, so ~665mi a leg. No generally available EV in the US has that range. So I take it you did a number of like 10-60% or whatever charge jaunts.

Even then though, if you were to sum up all of those shorter charging sessions you probably had to recharge your car a total of at least four charges energy-wise. If you get 300mi of range on a full.charge, 1,330 / 300 = 4.4333...
Sorry there's just no way this is true. It doesn't even make sense. For this to be possible the loan payment would have to be less than the lease payment after depreciation. Even before depreciation this almost never happens without a huge down payment (which negates the point entirely).

1. Modern C++ is obviously a huge topic but if I had to describe it in one sentence I'd go for "use smart pointers and containers instead of raw pointers and raw arrays" or "c++ is more than c with classes". If you are completely new to C++ I would recommend "Professional C++" 4th or 5th edition by Marc Gregoire. After that read everything by Scott Meyers and Bjarne Stroustrup you can get (released after 2011).

2. You could use Bazel. Also look into CMake, it's an industry standard, so to speak, and will let you generate build files for almost any kind of build system including Makefiles.

3. I don't use any but some people have success with vcpkg.

4. Clangd is a good choice.

5. A quick one that works is VSCode + clangd and CMake extensions. Clangd will let you format, lint and do some basic static code analysis. Installing clangd extension will install clangd automatically. Or, if you are on Windows, "Visual Studio: Community edition" is even easier to start with right away.
mold seems very cool! The design notes [1] are fabulous, exactly the kind of documentation I look for for stuff like this. This part, in particular, is genius:

> As we aim to the 1-second goal for Chromium, every millisecond counts. We can't ignore the latency of process exit. If we mmap a lot of files, _exit(2) is not instantaneous but takes a few hundred milliseconds because the kernel has to clean up a lot of resources. As a workaround, we should organize the linker command as two processes; the first process forks the second process, and the second process does the actual work. As soon as the second process writes a result file to a filesystem, it notifies the first process, and the first process exits. The second process can take time to exit, because it is not an interactive process.

Never heard about this trick before, but it's the rare combination of "genius" and "obvious in retrospect".

These are honestly not very impressive (no sarcasm here) and further convince me that the next AI Winter will come with this coming recession.

Don't get me wrong, they are still impressive in the quality of the visual they produce, but just like Markov Chain demos of old, they're neat but way miss the mark.

None of these capture the "feel" of Kermit the Frog. Most of them look like weird designs for the Ninja Turtles movie in the 90s.

There are several distinctive features of Kermit that a missing from nearly all of these.

- For any of the "live action" ones, Kermit should still always be a puppet.
- Kermit notoriously has lanky arms,
- Kermit never has eye lids
- His eyes sit way on top of his head.
- He often has his weird neck decoration.
- His eyes have a very distinctive pupil shape.

None of these get Kermit correct, they all just look like frogs (maybe Dalle2 isn't trained on copyrighted/trademarked material?)

There are fan made versions of some of these which show just how different Dalle2 is from human imagination:

Kermit actually has been on family guy: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/7/71/Famguys...

Again if this was done on someone's laptop it would be really impressive. However the fact that so much talent and resources were poured into pushing AI to it's limits and this is what we get tells me we've hit another brick wall as far as research goes.

I am surprised at how far from reality many of the comments are! I am an Indian living in both USA and India and I never witnessed cast-based discrimination to the extent some of the comments describe (I do understand it exists subtly) .. at least in the urban part of India where we live it is almost non-existent.
I want the cast system to diminish - for me, the casts of my colleagues never mattered and so does for many of my Indian friends. but some people will link everything and anything to caste bias - they like to live in that shit. If you are telling them they need to improve performance, they will say you are saying this because I am so and so caste. There is a law called 'atrocity' heavily skewed towards victims where if a lower cast person complains of abuse, police will make immediate arrests. I know many upper cast people unfairly in jail due to misuse of this law. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheduled_Caste_and_Scheduled_...)
Brahmins are the most abused community in many parts of India for something their earlier generations did ..
I read wome people complain about groupism in colleges - why there won't be, when upper cast person has to get 90% and above to get into a good college and due to reservation policy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservation_in_India), lower cast person will get into same colleges even for 50-60% that too for free .. many people are reaping the benefits for reservation for generations now and getting richer and richer .. while poor Brahmin boys have nowhere to go.. Somebody needs to tell this part of the story as well..
> Rust-like programming language that was just a little bit higher level

I think the best answer is Scala. It has an awesome community/libraries/ecosystem. See this for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31601040#31604573

There are other great answers, like F#, Haskell or OCaml, but these are not as mainstream and that comes with its challenges.

With Scala you get and awesome IDE, surprisingly wide variety of libraries and the whole Java world as a backup.

It has a pretty thorough feature set baked in and extra scripts and coding shouldn't be needed. It can fetch balances and transactions directly from your banks, though I need to check if that's automatically run or manually triggered.
Intel to Explore RISC-V Architecture for Zettascale Supercomputers
A good system like an AprilAire [1] will have a 4" thick filter vs the standard 1" thick filters. This allows much more filter area than a standard filter allowing proper airflow even with a finer more restrictive filter medium.

You can't just swap filters, the 4" thick one usually go in right before HVAC air handler intake rather than at returns. I have had an AprilAire installed for over 10 years in my HVAC when it was replaced last time, recommended by HVAC installer, its has worked very well and I do have my blower fan cycle constantly regardless of need for heat/cool to turn over and filter air.

I am an accountant and no I never use a physical calculator other than when studying for the CPA exam as one is permitted in the test room.

I spend a lot of time in excel and if I need a quick calculation I do it in a cell to the side. This is often quicker because the figures are often in the workbook already.

If I don’t have excel open, I will use the calculator app if I’m doing a quick check calc using some figures from a PDF, email, etc. However even this is remarkably faster than picking up a physical calculator let alone having to carry something with me.

Although some of the partners at the firm still use physical calculators, the overwhelming majority of people I work with do not use a physical calculator.
Advice for early stage founders for the months ahead
I love these kinds of projects. I hope you'll have the time you need and enough attention/traction to make it work.

I'm not sure it's possible, but it could be great to make this a team project officially supported by Django (like DRF or channels). This would bring trust and support, compared to solo-dev projects that can die instantely if the developer can't support it anymore.
Anyway, I'd be glad to sponsor your project on Github.

From this new perspective, here are the tools I'd use in my front-end Django:
- Level 0: no dynamic UI needs -> no additional tool (pure HTML/CSS templates)
- Level 1: simple dynamic needs -> HTMX + Hyperscript
- Level 2: SPA-like needs -> Tetra (instead of Alpine itself)
For linux I use http://www.speedcrunch.org it's fast and simple for most things I need.
This also applies to Github copilot/labs/codespaces extensions..etc.
They create presure on the employers to give better wages and etc... Sometimes it can go seriously wrong when the heads of the unions either ask for unrealistic stuff to showoff or just start acting in their own interests.
Same here, I like Rust a lot, however in one side I already have JVM and .NET languages for 99% of the stuff I do, and for the remaining 1%, having C++ burned on my brain since 1994, with the 40 years of tooling, I rather spend the time using it.
They make money of engagement, and have more leverage on smaller players.

So the idea that they want to "gatekeep" instead of promote new artists with engaging content is suspect.
