Inexplicably doesn't apply to some of those things most likely to actually need repair: Cars, motor vehicles, machinery, .... all things for which maintenance and repair have actually be turned into profit centers by OEMs in recent years.

Most small consumer tech (the only stuff actually covered) simply doesn't have any designed repair path, except maybe battery and screen. No manufacturer other than Apple has enough of its own consumer access to have any repair afaict?

Meanwhile we're increasingly forced to use dealers for minor repairs to our cars. FFS.

I also live in CA so the bill obviously has no impact on me, and I don't see anything like this happening here in any form any time soon :-(
no unit testing, but you can break your calculations up into reasonably understandable units where you can verify the output before incorporating that into a larger formula. I frequently have hidden columns where I do parts of a calculation and then other columns that use those interim results for the final result. It does have overhead of more calculations but the payoff is fewer bugs and easier to verify in chunks.

it's a pretty common case to be parsing thousands of locally-stored pages. There are only so many cores and the task of scraping an entire site can still easily still be CPU limited.
I don't see why states are especially relevant. Europe on a whole is really big, but still has way better public transit than the US.
I like to view supply/demand literally sometimes as an order book. And here we have a giant chasm of a bid-ask spread.

I suppose you could even draw the supply and demand curves. They just... don't intersect!
Guidelines are always for the other guy. Hell, software interfaces are for the other guy - the OS likely has many private interfaces so it can do the really cool things.

So can each vote be attributed to a individual (tracked)?
The Jews were overrepresented among both students and teachers in top STEM educational institutions starting from magnet schools.
Lol. Both!

I meant the physical devices. Towards the end of their tenure, there were some statistical irregularities that suggested the gears were failing to roll over correctly, resulting in undercounting.
Goats may help prevent wildfires in California as drought worsens
I've become disturbed by this tendency the last couple of years to justify political decisions by appeal to public health. My own political leanings are complex, so I say this not from a partisan perspective.

It's very easy to specify hypothetical laws, that if enacted and enforced, would have dramatic public health benefits. A tyrrany of health, if you will. But that doesn't mean it would be ethically acceptable. Conversely, a great many military and other actions, ethically justified, are not healthy at all for its participants.

The problem with these political appeals based on public health is that physical health per se, or even health in general, is just one of many values to be weighted in decision making. I think there's been a general creep in what "health" encompasses, while being selective in other ways. I do think this is part of the reason for pushback from certain quarters, a reaction against trying to dress up politics in the disguise of science without being honest about it.

Science is always political to some extent, I think. So trying to argue that some phenomenon is a "scientific" issue, and therefore best addressed by qualified scientists seems disingenuous to me. It's not so much that expertise isn't real, it's that it has to have limits or it's meaningless.
"Climate denial is the dominant force today..."

The media are saturated 24/7 with climate alarmism. If anything happens that can be blamed on the "climate", from wildfires in California to a flood in Bangladesh, we hear about it on the evening news.

1.5C is the new 4C. First it was +4C in the coming century, then 1.5C before 2100 (the lower end of the climate models), and now 1.5C since the start of the industrial revolution. To me, it looks like we will be able to declare "climate victory" in a couple of decades. Getting off fossil fuels is a good thing, because they are limited. We are rapidly doing that. But - we need better energy sources. Wind isn't the way, hydro is tapped out. Solar and nuclear are the future. The next generation should work on that.
Thanks for the reference. Naiad: A Timely Dataflow System is an interesting paper!
As a vim lover is it actually bad from a UX perspective? Having a learning curve can be offset by enhanced efficiency right?
Tesla makes grid batteries using the same or similar tech as for their cars.
Let me settle this debate: as I originally stated, the young developer was not stupid at all. She knew about HTML and forms and everything. She just didn't know how to work with it and, more importantly, she didn't want to get into that at the time, explaining that she didn't "want the site to look ugly" and that it was "a project for the portfolio" (implying that she needed to demonstrate her React skills).

So that's what's really troubled me. The companies responsible for producing this piece of garbage are actually getting into the heads of the younger generation, rendering them helpless without said garbage. I repeat, this is indeed garbage, especially React: in early 2000s we used to laugh at people mixing JavaScript and HTML, but some of them, apparently, decided it was their time to strike back.

The more important issue is, of course, that we have a generation of young people working with these "tools" which isolate them from learning things that actually matter. These levels of abstraction DO NOT add any value. These are "cargo cults" of abstractions, which without their authors knowledge (because those who invented them weren't very smart anyway) serve the purpose of keeping potentially talented and intelligent people ignorant and average. This is probably good news for somebody out there, but certainly not for us as a society.
I have not spent much time thinking about this, but anecdotally:

It's hard to quantify that way, I feel it would depend on how "wide" the structure of the organization is. Perhaps "layers of management" between where the money is actually made and where the decisions are made is a good metric. Two or three, in my experience, have been the best places to work.

Anything more than that and the friction exponentially increases.
Tell HN: Instagram requires you to enter birth date (and provide ID)
So I just got a gated "tell us your age" modal on Instagram, both web and in the app. Absolutely no way to get past it without entering my information.

The reason they give is "we'll show you better ads".

Tried to input that I'm 1, 2, 3... years of age (nearest options on the year selector).

It wouldn't accept my age until I got up to 7. Then it let me submit and then locked my account.

Now I had to give them my ID or they will permanently disable my account in 30 days.

I am not a US citizen, I am an EU citizen. There is no reason they can require this information - happy to hear what type of GDPR or other request I can file to get them to remove my birth date and my ID which I just submitted.

Calm down - I never indicated any of that.

In a functional sense when compared to darker skinned, non European people; in the US specifically, European cultural differences are far less significant as they are in Europe.

This isn't limited to Europeans, clearly.
That’s the point, Tesla has experience in not making it a local problem, by using their own technology. Other car makers don’t have an energy company to lean on.
> There's mandatory updates 3 times a year that require low level software development expertise in order for the admin to understand what will break

If you're veering from defaults, you're doing Salesforce wrong. Even Salesforce's own Services team these days refuse to write custom code that'll break beyond default features.
Off topic, but good grief:

It really doesn't. I've voted in French elections and volunteered in American polling places, and the French system visibly has much better safeguards. I am not regurgitating some invented narrative, just believing my "lying eyes".
The reason children are “sliced up” by age is because of their lack of maturity. Consequently, if you mix younger children with older, more physically developed children what will inevitably happen is a lot of bullying.
Absolutely EVERYONE who ever wants to do anything with computers should read Nelson's Computer Lib/Dream Machines. It is one of the most important computer books ever written. (The Mythical Man-Month being the other.) Although it obviously shows its age in places, it's really amazing how well it's held up over half a century of the most rapid technological progress the world has ever seen.

Nelson is a true visionary, and not being an engineer or scientist (he considers himself a filmmaker first), he has a very different, but very valid perspective on the way we should interact and relate to our machines.

BTW, Puppy Linux community and parts of the Raspberry Pi community still have the spirit of those early days of computing/hacking/learning/pushing the envelope...
I'd agree with you ~1 year ago but I think a lot of their articles now tend to water-down lots of complex subjects in rigorous math papers. Still remains one of my favorite websites.
I take your point but I had awful redneck grammar until I was 22 or so, and it's something everyone can fix if they just put the time in. I'm not a stickler for "correct" words because language evolves, but if you come to HN because you like programming, surely you'd understand why I'd appreciate semantics of grammar.

But forcing a child to use their non-dominant right hand could be considered a form of cruelty I suppose, so not seeing how they're really related.

When I go back home to Appalachia, I fall back into my old bad habits readily but if I got a call from my boss, I'm switching to "educated" and that's more than just ditching the drawl, it's modifying the entire way I structure my thoughts. I think that's very common and not unfair to expect from someone claiming that they desire education.
At home, I keep a spinach/kale mix, dried fruit and several different nuts.

Vegetables and cheeses tend to rotate every week.

I often times do my protein on the side but that's preference.

I currently have a love affair with Kewpie's onion and garlic dressing but normally go for some olive oil and vinegar, a pinch of salt and black pepper.
This is a classic pedantic English correction, the type which snarky English teachers like to harp on.

It's in the same ballpark as the folks who badger the "incorrect" use of "literally" (even though the definition literally includes "figuratively" now).
There weren’t a billion people then.

Also, he didn’t have censorship power. Rather if you read the article, he convinced the people who wanted to censor it to not do so.

We seem to have forgotten what statesmanship is these days. India was and is a very conservative country. For him to not do the easy thing was indeed a reflection of his character. For all his faults, he was a great leader.
Ask HN: What are some interactive group exercises for devs?
The place I work at have a day just for devs to do whatever we think is good for our own learning and collaboration. I've been tasked to think about an activity that can be done within that day.

There are generally a lot of presentations/talks but I find that structure getting a bit stale and want to seek ideas that are outside just "giving talks" so that the devs can interact with each other.

Some requirements I've set for myself:

* a couple hours long (can be longer)

* able to be done within a small group (~3-5 people) of all skill ranges

* important that it's collaborative or interactive so that people aren't just working in silos

Some ideas:

* 1 day, very short hackathon-style activity

* work on something open source (probably need to decide on what package and set up instructions prior)
So don't put them up on Facebook. We're talking about keeping a copy of your own contract.

I'm a Spanish speaker and find it interesting that Swedish has dedicated (compound) words to refer to a person's maternal grandfather/grandmother/uncle/aunt (morfar/mormor/morbror/moster) and paternal ones (farfar/farmor/farbror/faster). In Spanish, for aunt we just have tía, to say something like moster we would say something like tía del lado de mi mamá or tía materna.
Saying that Germany doesn’t have voter IDs is technically true but a bit misleading. In the US, registering to vote is super easy and can be done online in most states. In Germany, the residency registration that’s also used for voting requires showing up in person within a month of moving.

The German system would be much more onerous if implemented in America than one tied to driver’s licenses that virtually everyone in America has already.
The other half of this picture is that the old farming communities have died, and the whole of the American Midwest is now a giant machine for the industrial production of food, inhabited by just a few people, who maintain the giant sprinklers and combines that stride across the depopulated landscape.
In Cuzco Peru (very touristy) a few years ago I noticed that a lot of the feral dogs were outfitted with football (soccer) jerseys, often famous international teams. So, I think they would get a food donation advantage from fans of that team (e.g. Barcelona). I also saw dogs carefully waiting at stoplights to cross a street. It occurred to me that the angry/agressive dogs probably don't make it because its not an effective survival strategy. Probably an outlier situation from an international perspective, but interesting. A pack of dogs ran up to me at one point and I was pretty scared, but they just went past and kept going. They seemed to have a lot of agency, meaning that they survived without any "owner" as we think of it in the USA.
It is astounding how good of a guitar you can get for a few hundred dollars these days.

My Yamaha FG800 cost $200 and is probably 70-80% as good as my Martin that cost $1300.

There is even less of a difference between cheap and expensive electric guitars. Especially if you learn to do a good setup yourself and replace the pickups.
As a card carrying “brown person” I’m confused by your argument. I’ve never seen anyone checking skin color at the door at the DMV.

This is in fact an argument against FAA: you can risk your life in many other ways in many other contexts not regulated by FAA, so why not be allowed to risk your own life in a regulated field?
Uranium (even-235) on its own honestly isn't that dangerous, I was oversimplifying to say that the enrichment is what made it dangerous.

You're incorrect here on the nature of moderators - they moderate neutron flux, but they don't moderate the reactivity, they increase it. Fast neutrons are less likely to cause a uranium atom to fission so you have to slow emitted neutrons down to generate a sustained chain reaction.

In the absence of a whole lot of work a (fresh) uranium fuel rod is fairly inert. It doesn't produce much heat or very dangerous levels of radiation. Once you put the work in to generate a sustained chain reaction the U-235 starts turning into vastly more radioactive isotopes. For comparison U-235 has a half life of 700-million years, while Caesium-137 has a half life of 90 days.

The corium underneath Fukushima is fissioning because it's full of shorter half life fission products from its time as an active reactor, not because of the remaining Uranium. Now some of that Uranium is presumably getting fissioned by neutrons flying off of all of the other stuff decaying in there, but in 20,000 years time when the core is fairly inert nearly all of the U-235 left in the core as of today will still be there.
Tracy Kidder's Soul of a New Machine is also a great book taking a great look at this era, but from the larger minicomputer perspective...
I don't get this response at all.

I'm in a team developing software for people in areas with rubbish internet. It's a bit above my pay grade to fix infrastructure problems in foreign lands. It's probably more cost effective to let the software deal with it gracefully.

And in my case.. the infrastructure was fine, but a sheep literally chewed through it. Do we ban sheep? Granted he should have been better fence... but the point is shit happens and help out in the country can take weeks to materialize.

They are private companies though. If we already established a precedence for removing 1A rights on one type of private business then we can do it on others as well. (I am not suggesting we should do it, just that we can).
Regarding switches vs checkboxes: it seems natural that switches should belong to standalone settings, whereas checkboxes should belong to a family of related settings. For instance, "enable notifications for this app" should be a switch, but then the related sub-settings "badges", "sounds", "show on lock screen" etc should be checkboxes.

I don’t know if there is a legitimate reason that any private or even public-private partnership (like the Democratic and Republican parties in the US) should have that info.
TIL.

There's still a problem that running the engine till fuel starvation is not exactly a practical option, but then arguably you could make it so that standard shut down depended on at-tank cut off valve (going to make certification a PITA). And of course you can't reuse original fuel runs because for majority of aircraft, the tank won't fit where existing tanks are.

I'm still unconvinced that you could avoid considerable reconstruction of the fuel lines - there are reasons why propane/LPG have different hazard classification, and what is easily allowed on a ground vehicle can be a big nope in an airplane.

On the more practical side, it would be dead in the water from legal issues - you'd have to recertify the plane, possibly deal with the fact that there's AFAIK no preexisting baseline for certification, and unlike 100UL you'd also add pilot & mechanic retraining - at this point you might have better ROI by shooting for the stars and going the cryogenic hydrogen route. While there are some CNG & LPG conversions around, pretty much everything seems to fall under experimental classification - something wildly different from the goal of getting G100UL declared fully equivalent to AVGAS 100LL, which would allow everyone to just switch supply.

Gold is a noble metal; bts low reactivity and stability make it excelent as a material to have in constant contact with the body.

I am allergic to most metals, and only highest purity surgical stainless steel, surgical titanum, and noble metals can come in constant contact with my skin without generating rashes. I can only wear piercings made of surgical titanum, gold and platinum.

Gold is extremely ductile, malleable, and is very easy to amalgamate, alloy, and mix with other metals.

This and other minor properties, plus the aesthetic factor, is what makes it the best material for jewelry; it's extremely easy to work with, it's safe to use, it won't react under normal circumstances, degrade or get ruined by time.

I don't know any alloy that has similar properties that isn't either super expensive, has a different color, or io hard to worx with.

If you haven’t kept up with technology, you probably have.

That’s harsh. But it’s not meant to be judgmental. I’ve told the story plenty of times how I became an “expert beginner” by the time I was 35 (I’m 48 now). I was still doing VB6 in 2008 when it was discontinued in 2001. It was until 2016 (at 42) that I had any type of “lead position”.

All you can do now is upskill and get current. I couldn’t spell AWS or “cloud” until 2018 (at 44) when I first logged into the console.

My first job at any company you have ever heard of was 2 years ago.

I have the exact opposite opinion.

TypeScript used to have more sugar, and that sugar had been removed and merged with the equivalent ES functionalities. Dig through old TS versions and you’ll find obsolete syntaxes or semantics that have been removed.

Just to pick an example, TS had class before JS. IMO the ideal scenario here is that TS is just type annotations on top of JS, and any features you use which aren’t universally available, you polyfill/transpile as a separate step.

This means TS is just types, and your transpired/polyfills are just transpilers/polyfills. To achieve that, TS classes are modified to match JS classes.

My sense is that TS will not add new stuff not in JS any more. It’s simply not a direction TS is going. I also get the sense that enums are a mistake in TS’s design.

TS in some sense is a reaction to the lessons learned from its predecessors, like CoffeeScript.

1bar is 14.5psi. Are we doing the same conversion?

10 bar is literally 4x the pressure in my car tire and 50% over that of my road bicycle. My air compressor operates at around 10 bar but the hose is regulated down to 2.5 bar and blasts debris all over the driveway when I disconnect it. If I don't firmly hold the air tool it shoots out like a missile.

30 extra kg is a loss of about 20% of effective payload. And this says nothing of the loss in power density.
