Grepping and entire code base just to find where some class is defined is certainly doable (I do it often), but it’s not as nice as just right clicking “Go to definition”. Especially in very large codebase with multiple git submodules.

No one serious would assert that inspecting complex data structure, managing breakpoints, stepping through code, or debugging remotely via text mode gdb like it’s 1986, is as easy or efficient as simply using a GUI in 2022, or even 1992.
The mindset around tests that you just suggested, and clearly Holmes had, is based on a serious misconception about statistics and testing. Every test has false positives and false negatives. A lot of tests are very bad in this regard, with things like 25% false negative rates on one test and 50% false positive rates on another. When you administer those tests to someone who is a likely candidate for a disease, and combine them with a few other tests, you get useful information. If you just scattershot the tests to everyone, you are going to get a lot of mis-diagnoses.

COVID has de-sensitized us to the idea of over-testing for the hell of it (in the case of COVID, this is because society is okay with a few false positives being told to quarantine and the test had the sensitivity turned way up so that false negatives were nearly impossible), but it is still a really good way to get really bad information. It is the real-life version of "p-hacking" that occurs in some academic settings. For a test to be useful, you need a hypothesis before you administer a test.
With a lid it is.
Most people, eventually, learn the value of cleaning their domicile (there are exceptions, of course).

I think parents live in hope that their kids can learn that value earlier than they themselves have, or at least help share their lessons learned with their kids - this is true of many things in parent/child relationship -> we want/hope better for our kids.

And let's not minimize the "I'm tired, I had to clean your room every night for the past 3 days/weeks/months/years/decades, you need to put some effort too!" aspect of course :->

It works various degrees of well or poorly with various kids, parents, and circumstances - like virtually anything else in parenting.
That’s their point, though. Calling not having kids a fail is alienating people who have chosen not to (or can’t) have kids.
I think that there is a cost to companies operating this way, but the cost is largely unseen or harder to account for. Arguably doing everything opposite of those points can be "good business sense" too. For example, going with the mindset of investing in your employees.. two of the points below:

> Companies using the barest of excuses, or none at all, to lay off employees
The intention is to streamline everything and cut costs and improve efficiency for the business. However, doing the opposite here helps preserve tribal knowledge (possibly leading to better business outcomes). It helps improve retention because it creates an environment where employee isn't constantly optimizing for the best compensation and looking to jump ship at the first better opportunity.

> Companies lying, deliberately and freely, to employees about upcoming layoffs, in order to "stave off panic". Because it makes good business sense.

Doing the opposite leads to employees being more focused at work. Instead of prepping for the next interview, they can focus their energies on company initiatives.
How did you figure out that their connection isn't being censored by Venezuela?
The UK is much authoritarian than people give it credit for. Official state media, convicting comedians for offensive jokes, laws restricting speech...

But most Brits will say all of the above is fine, even necessary. It's eerie how similar these conversations are to ones I've had with people from countries generally considered authoritarian in the west.

The general conclusion I draw is that people will justify and put up with a fair amount of authoritarianism if they feel it targets the right people, or maintains the kind of society they want to live in. If you're a "good citizen" and it doesn't effect you it's hard to be principled if it's mainly targeting people you consider dregs.

EDIT: changed "State run media" to "Official state media" per conversation below..

Totally agree, kids aren't stupid. They also aren't generally able to sense and avoid insidious intent from adults adept at playing socially reprehensible games. I try not to treat my kids like idiots but that doesn't mean letting wolves in the door either. Not that that can be perfectly prevented.
I think this article is missing the elephant in the room by putting too much emphasis on efficiency: the biggest issue with EVs is in the manufacturing, and the reason why I often hear Tesla and other big EVs referred to as tools to ease one’s conscience, but certainly not long-term (or even medium-term) solutions to global warming.

My figures are from Switzerland [1], so assume the Swiss grid (mostly hydroelectric and nuclear, so about as good as it gets).

Using the same car, to ease the comparison: Peugeot 208 (ICE) vs Peugeot e-208 (BEV). Manufacturing takes 9.0 tCO2eq for the ICE version, 15.9 tCO2eq for the BEV version. Over the lifespan of the car (200,000 km): 42.0 tCO2eq for the ICE version against 22.7 tCO2eq for the BEV version. So as expected the BEV version wins: it breaks even at about 50,000 km.

But note that it's "only" cutting emissions in half. And that's on the Swiss grid. Of course it's better than nothing, but unless manufacturing costs (in terms of GHG emissions) are massively reduced, it's a dead end.

This is for a rather tiny BEV without much range, looking at Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 21.4 tCO2eq for manufacturing, 29.0 tCO2eq over 200,000km. Nearly 70% of the emissions of a Peugeot 208 ICE over the lifespan of the vehicle. And again that's with a nearly optimal grid in terms of emissions. I'm not even sure a coal powered Model 3 would break even with a Peugeot 208 (ICE).

To give some perspective, to stabilize the climate we basically each have a 2.0 tCO2eq / year quota, of which currently about 1.0 tCO2eq is eaten by public services (infrastructure, hospitals, police, firefighters, etc.), rough estimation for France, YMMV depending on where you live. How to reconcile this with a car that emits 21.4 tCO2eq just for manufacturing, I don't know.

I think they want it actually. They are very subservient to their government -- perhaps not the prime minister of the day if thy sit on the wrong side, but the bureaucrats and the whole government machine -- they see it as a benevolent protector and provider.

They want to be protected from people such as this, because they don't feel they can protect themselves from him. Not sure where Prince Harry dressing up as a Nazi falls on the spectrum, but I assume the ruling class is above the laws of the commoners either way.

I think all western countries including USA are going down the same road though. It's not a choice I would personally make, but I suppose I can understand why people think this way.

Honest question, do you consider these people actual friends or internet acquaintances.

One thing I hate social media for is keeping me hyper connected to thousadns of people, it actually takes up a lot of time. I'm not saying I'm not grateful for having thousands of new friends, but I can also see that the people in front of me get less attention because of it.

It feels like a bit of a hidden cost of social media often unaccounted for.

I do wonder am I saving time because it's now enough to just message someone for their birthday rather than go see them; However I'm now messaging tens if not hundreds more people for their birthday then before.

Nope. We’ve checked her phone daily since she got her phone. You’d be amazed at how kids will complain for a few days and then just get used to the restrictions when they see that it’s their loss if they don’t comply. Another example, she wanted to keep her phone in her room at night. Nope, not gonna happen. “But my friends…” “Your friends are not my children, if you want a phone you turn it in at 10pm”. She complained for a few days…and now it’s just the routine.

>>I think it’s worse to get worked up over the use of “Legos.”

Agreed! I think we should gather all such datas together and see what informations we can gather; if we present our common knowledges, and lots of lucks, I'm sure we can present convincing evidences for all the peoples to stop fussing!

<watches HN implode:>
I actually don't think it's as ingrained as people make it out to be; it certainly _was_ present at a time, but poking around on various Google Maps entries for restaurants and shops that come up checking in various EU cities, while a lot of them do have Facebook pages as their sites, the pages are mostly abandoned.

COVID likely helped with this (can't help but notice quite a few have last posts around or just before 2020), but even before that you can see it's slowing.

Regarding WhatsApp, it should be pointed out that the article addresses this and suggests WhatsApp likely wouldn't be affected immediately as it has a different data controller (GDPR term I believe). But even if Whatsapp were on the chopping block, most hotels/hostels/other businesses I've worked with in the small to medium size have multiple chat apps they list (WhatsApp, Viber, Instagram, and more rarely, Telegram) so I suppose such businesses would be quite okay and at worst would just have a mild annoyance.

As an aside, I'm not sure I know of people who are actually big fans of WhatsApp so much so as it's just sort of what you use cause back in the day, it's what you used for international calls. There are a lot of alternatives now that are pretty solid with actual fanbases for the products; anecdotally, I don't think I know anyone that actually _likes_ using WhatsApp, it's more just something they use. Feature wise, WhatsApp feels very aged and has not really kept up with competing applications.

All in all I think it wouldn't be such a big deal, and if there were a ban, I do think it would probably be okay in the long run for most people; the communities would adjust (as they always do) and there are _plenty_ of alternatives.

On the flip side, losing money is a known risk of investing. Can't afford suboptimal returns because the C-suite tried to build a legacy by resurrecting the company? You had no business investing in the first place.
That hinges on what you mean by fail.

Most reasonable people don't alienate friends over different beliefs, but most people also have some sense of discretion when judging the lives of their friends.

I think I would have issues with a friend who judged me as having failed, or worse, a failure for what I consider personal and subjective life choices.

LoRa is designed to handle hundreds of devices in the same area since the commercial use case is densely deployed nodes. The spreading factor is orthogonal so it is able to multiplex in the same frequency assuming your data rate is constrained enough for the largest spread factor.

There's a bit more on involved with gateways and coordination that you don't get in P2P mode but the PHY has the pieces you need I'd you wanted to do something similar.
This is my conclusion too. For cross platform, Qt is the only serious choice.

I've been dabbling in GTK and if it's just a personal or linux app then I'll do it in GTK using javascript/typescript (and I'm very curious to try out GTK for windows/mac at some point), but for now a serious app, Qt is the real choice.
No dilemma. If your kid can’t handle it, they get additional restrictions until they’ve grown up a bit.
I'm not sure I completely agree. You have a middleground where smaller DEs (wayfire, sway, etc.) huddle around larger "hub" implementations of wayland like wlroots in the same way that X11 DEs used Xorg.

It's really only the larger DEs that will want to roll their own compositor like GNOME/mutter. Wayland allows them to do that in a feasible way, but it doesn't force them to because they can use something like wlroots.
You got a good point there.

Well that's where there is a definite tension with the US for sure. I'm French and in Hong Kong: in both France and Hong Kong we've seen instances of maybe exagerated outreach by the US into things maybe we should be left trying then failing on our own so we learn. Instead we're left thinking, and it's prevalent opinion in HK among people who stayed, that the US maybe was behind our troubles when really they're just unable to resist giving their holy opinion on everything, something I can admit France is accused of often in other places.

Ofc here, the guy was not just doing his job in China, he extended his reach into the US and it feels fair game. But, you point out to something that annoys me a little bit abt the US !

Iridium was a marvel of engineering no-doubt but Starlink as a constellation is in a different league entirely.

They also followed different engineering principles, Iridium was engineered to perfection while Starlink is hacked until it works and paper over the kinks with sheer scale and many iterations.

Worth mentioning I have nothing but admiration for the original Iridium constellation, it was decades ahead of it's time, it's just so unfortunate they didn't see that broadband needs were going to dominate communications in time or maybe Motorola in it's original glory would still be around today.
Iridium (and to some extent Inmarsat) are currently in an almost completely different market than Starlink is: They provide safety-of-life certified solutions for maritime, aviation and military customers.

I wouldn't be surprised if equipment and certification costs would dwarf the actual fee charged per month and user in these applications, and the market entry barrier in such highly regulated industries is usually enormous. (It took Iridium a long time to get SOLAS-certified, for example; before that, Inmarsat was the only solution besides HF radio.)

In the market of providing fast, non-safety-critical internet access to remote places however, my guess is that Starlink is going to shake up things significantly.
Short-term thinking. That solution will last only as long as China remains behind ASML in development.

ASML can't throw anywhere near as much cash into R&D as China can. Within a decade, or maybe a whole lot less, China will leave ASML in the dust.

A secondary problem for ASML is that it misses out on the Chinese market in this coming decade, further reducing its income and therefore its R&D budget. Because ASML won't be able to compete, the whole Western semiconductor industry will also be unable to compete, and it will fall further and further behind the Chinese semiconductor industry.

As with the Western industries for cars, textiles, paper, machine-tools, clothing, electronics, etc, etc, etc the Western semiconductor industry will also shrivel up and blow away.

As I said above: Short-Term thinking. A dumb idea.
And a user accidentally and irrevocably getting 5 trillion coins won't "distort" the market?
