> Note that AlmaLinux released 9.0 about 40 days ago. They're also significantly faster with releasing minor updates (including releases like 8.6).

'Faster' is not a recommendation for an OS developer, IMHO; I don't need operating systems faster - in fact, I like to give them time to mature in other people's hands and to test them myself. The only things I want ASAP are security fixes that are critical to my systems.

If Alma sells themselves on 'faster' (do they?), that would be a significant concern. Why would they do that? Why create a perverse incentive for themselves?
Assuming the equivalent of 6 hours of sunlight at 173W to account for the lower output in morning and evening, that's about 8.4kWh per day. To go 30 miles would require an efficiency of nearly 3 miles per kWh. That's very ambitious, though not impossible. We'll see how they perform when deliveries actually being I guess.
If I verbally accept an offer that was never put in writing, I feel like one of three things could happen:

1: there is something materially and surprisingly bad in the contract (equity or cash isn't as described)

2: there is something that is arguably not material, but which is surprisingly bad in the contract (something to do with vesting schedule, clawback of a 'signing bonus')

3: everything is as-expected.

In case 1, it's clear that they have materially changed the terms, and I am no longer bound by my verbal acceptance (which was of a different offer).

In case 2, they can argue that what was changed isn't material, and so I'm still bound. But if they say that, I would reply that if it's not material, then they should have no problem changing it back to the originally-discussed state. If they don't, I walk. It's not like they can force you to work for them, and they would presumably not try to ruin your rep over it because you could probably do more damage to them (by posting on HN, for example).

In case 3, obviously everything is fine!
I pre-ordered this spring. The pre-order payment due is just $100. I've wasted more than that on plenty of dumber things in my life. If they can pull this off, it will be money well spent and I'll be thrilled to have one of the first cars they make.

This was never the case unless you have a very strange reading of history. Look how long bad ideas like witches causing problems persisted and the popularity of mob justice for such acts.
This is a neat hack, but honestly this is how it's done in actual places that use it anyhow. We don't buy the expensive branded crap; we just layer two colors of foam (one for top, one for bottom outline) and glue it together.

At least that's how it's been done in Naval Aviation for decades, and I can say in my industry contact (Lean Six-Sigma seminars/training/etc.) noone at those other businesses bought anything fancy.
To be honest, I think Athena and X have had very little influence. X's GUI design (and the Athena widget set) was entirely derivative of the Lisa/Mac interface. The notion of a client-server GUI system -- a historic extension of Unix terminals and servers -- has largely failed and is now disuse on modern Unix systems. The idea of a customizable window server has not spread beyond X to any other major system to my knowledge. Its font subsystem, graphics subsystem, and event management was and remains astonishingly primitive. It's hard to think of anything X innovated that now appears in a modern GUI.

Despite what the random Wikipedia contributor implied, neither MATLAB nor Maple have any historical relationship with X Windows or Project Athena. It is a huge stretch to say that Athena invented the concept of per-course educational and research software given that Apple had been doing that nearly a decade before, and indeed had built its entire business model on the concept. And the precursor to Jupyter notebooks was Mathematica, full stop. Mathematica invented the very concept of the interactive notebook, and it did so on NeXTSTEP.
It's not about the money. It's about not having to put up with subscription-manager. (I often use the free clones for this reason at work on my sandbox VMs, even though my employer has a paid Red Hat subscription.)
Why is this a concern?
If Alma and Rocky are essential identical, speed is the only/main differentiator, and it matters. If an urgent vulnerability gets patched in RHEL, and I'm using Rocky or Alma, I want the one that gets patched sooner. Right now, that's Alma.

This is categorically different and a major escalation in censorship that most people are not realizing. It's very scary.

It makes more sense now that several USA politicians have had "unscripted" moments in which they admitted that we are at war with Russia. [0][1] It will make even more sense when someone admits we have had "special forces" killing civilians in Donbas for years. As in, if we're at war, even if we don't dare declare it and even if most Americans would vote against it despite constant corporate media gaslighting, it is in some sense "disloyal" for pacifists to complain about war.

The censorship made no sense in February when we all pretended that the whole thing was totally unprovoked Russian aggression and we were just sad witnesses. At that time, the censorship just proved that something stunk about the war-media story.

No, it's still a terrible idea even if it's used as an auto-complete. As the article correctly states, the primary job of a software engineer is to maintain existing code, not to write new code. You're not going to be doing yourself any favors by committing code that you didn't even read (unless you're one of those people who can get away with shoving all your bugs onto coworkers, in which case you're an asshole).
Whoops, I probably should have known better than to mention specific pricing since it can vary based on local taxes (such as VAT), and because we test different plans from time to time.

Ask HN: Should Show HN posts be links or text?
It used to be that Show HNs were posted as a URL. Now it seems like some folks post with text instead, with the URL and some context in the text description.

Has there been a change in policy, or is there an official position on this? Is there a difference in how these different types of posts perform?

This is a bit unfair, all doctors were fucking terrible before the late 19th century, and lowered the lifespan of everyone they touched. They also seemed to prescribe mercury for everything.

The only rational use for a doctor back then was if you needed emergency surgery because you were going to die very soon. It was a situation that they could only make better.

The problem, I guess, is that the confidence and authoritative tone of doctors has been identical from back then, when their interventions were at best useless and on average murderous, to now, when they have some chance of improving your outcome. Upper-class people fell for it, to their peril.

> I wonder is love really a motivator? It's more of a reason, right?

I'm not sure I understand the distinction you are drawing here.

> Like what about people who don't love their fellow man all that much? I mean is that even allowed?

“Allowed” as in “not sinful”? No.

“Allowed” as in “forgivable”? Yes.

> If I'm a Christian do I have to love my fellow man to the point of charity?

For certain values of “have to”, yes, though it doesn't have to be expressed by giving money to a recognized charity. But equally Christianity means you have to accept that virtually every actual person will fall short of what they “have to” do.

> What if I call myself Christian but I think most people are rude and selfish and have a hard time loving them.. does that make me not Christian?

No, having a hard time doesn't make you not Christian.
To me, "monetization" means everything except for just selling your product for an upfront sticker price. When it comes to games, that means subscriptions, ads or microtransactions. Arguably, the latter two aren't inherently scummy, but I find it very distasteful when a game's design is fundamentally changed to push them.

This is the reason I completely avoid F2P games to begin with. I can't deny it's financially very lucrative though.
hi, professional diesel engine tech here. if I can clarify: kaizen boxes are exclusively for critical process control like foreign object ingress control and things like reactor maintenance, high speed rail, and aerospace. they are audited, insane, and not generally used outside certain critical kaizen processes. failing a kbox check too often can get you fired.

if you find comfort at any level with kboxes --and you have a medical condition that could exacerbate affinity toward it-- I'm not sure its healthy. NASCAR doesn't use them, most production Indy teams don't either. they are a critical process control and not "normal."
Sure it is. It's also inevitable. Every communications medium makes similar judgement calls, including broadcast television, which chooses which shows to air based on their content, and which news story to cover, based on their content. Given the scale of social media, curation is a necessity.
This can never work simply due to physics. It has a 100 kWh battery pack and no more than 1 kW maximum of solar panel capability, and probably quite a bit less due to the odd angles and less efficient panels.

EEVBlog did a video[0] on this concept recently and pointed out that his entire rooftop of ideally placed solar panels, in a nearly ideal location (Australia) could never power his own EV car. Backed up by real world data and common sense calculations.

Aptera themselves only claims "41 miles per day from sunlight under optimal conditions" which is the upper limit and will likely be a quarter or less in reality.

Compare this car to Tesla's prototype solar trailer[1], which easily has 10x the solar panel area as well as a battery. "If those are all 300W panels (and they look a little small for that), then the optimum output would be 2.7kW. That means it would generate less than 50 miles of range a day extended or a third of that folded up. "

Sorry but to me this complaint is incomprehensible. Every view imaginable about the pandemic, right and wrong, got tons of discussion and garnered millions of adherents.
The main problem here is that Public health agencies are refusing to admit they are / were wrong in certain cases causing all political non sense.
The second problem is that public healt official ended relying too much on mandates/enforcements and way too little on propaganda.

For example, it is obvious now that vaccines do not prevent one from getting COVID and spreading COVID. Yes - vaccines definitely make having COVID like a mild fly: I got it just now and I was just a little sick for a couple of days.

But they still claim that vaccines are preventing the spread.

And then the approach is really bad: instead of running “viagra style” commercials on TV for vaccinations they decided to go with heavy handed mandates and requirements. I bet a couple of Steph Curry and Tom Brady commercials about vaccination will do wonder.
> assuming it can charge in sunlight throughout the workday.

That seems like a very bad assumption to me.
You’re thinking way too hard - they have talent they need to retain. Promise status quo for the foreseeable to common shares even in the “wild world.” When the exit comes, see how common vs debt/preferred are treated.
It annoys me knowing that the indicator for good employees are those who give most ideas / contributions to a topic, while good executors with less idea for it is seen as worse.

Ultimately Red Hat incurs costs from engineering RHEL. They fund that through support contracts. So obviously a company that doesn't incur these costs can sell support contracts for cheap.
While it's legal, I agree there are grey areas around the ethics. Of course it's OSS, so you can't have expectations, but just imagine if all RHEL customers switched to 3rd party support. Red Hat would stop existing. Then what would these 3rd party support companies do? They'd go under too, as they'd have nothing to support.

It's worth distinguishing because the needs/desires of expats and immigrants are different.

I'm an American living in Tokyo. There's a fair number of American expats in Tokyo, usually high-level managers of international corporations. They socialize mainly with other expats at places like Tokyo American Club[0], don't learn Japanese beyond the basics, and send their kids to "international schools" where the curriculum is in English.

However, as an American immigrant in Tokyo, my social group and goals and so on are different. Immigrants learn Japanese, socialize largely either with locals or other immigrants, and their families may speak little (or no) English. Our needs involving banking, legal services, licensing (e.g. driver's license), and housing are different from expats -- they care about rent at high-end furnished apartments, I care about rent of normal apartments (short-term) and mortgage availability (long-term).

> I mean if this definition was applied consistently, I
> would be happy to use it. But when speaking about e.g
> H-1B visa holders working in the US and taking jobs or

> not expats.

It's easy to twist yourself into knots trying to understand thought processes of people who don't think. Someone who calls H-1B holders "immigrants" and blames them for housing prices hasn't put any thought into their position, so you'll only do yourself a disservice by trying to meet them on their level.

Matches my experiences too, airdrop has been quite flaky but I'm not sure exactly why. (Of course that could happen with payload too but so far it's been reliable in all home LANs I've tested in.)

Another feature that you may enjoy is if you close the lid or have to rush out in the middle of a large transfer, payload resumes automatically. You can also queue a transfer to an offline device. I'm also planning to add system sleep prevention during transfers.
> These people research equity.

This is the same partisan complaint no matter the topic. Everything is a nail since all you have is this one hammer.
>We are going to hear about why the COVID response was incorrect for decades and how it stole a generation.

Of course you're going to hear about it, because the response to it trampled on the freedoms and rights of our modern society. When you do something this extreme you must be able to justify it.

Imagine if an individual put the same restrictions as governments created onto another person. Eg don't allow them to go to school or leave their home etc. How would the legal system treat this individual? They would need an extremely good justification for it, otherwise they would probably go to prison.
The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars ... is about a billion dollars.

The upper extremes of wealth are truly mind-boggling.

And for a family with a few million in nonliquid assets --- housing which they require to live, and investments earmarked for retirement --- a million-dollar cushion at the end of working life is not much.

(The fact that many people reach retirement with far less is not only a tragedy but a looming national catastrophe for the US.)
That video is about the Lightyear Zero, but the Aptera is dramatically different in that it's designed from the ground up for maximum efficiency instead of just having a sedan body plan with solar panels slapped on it.

That's the key thing behind stuff like the "thousand mile range battery pack" - that's actually just a normal (for an EV) sized battery, the car's just using it way more efficiently than most.
> If the evidence available on the efficacy of vaccines for kids is so ridiculously wide that it goes from -99% to +370% risk of infection, then surely Norway is _also_ drastically overstating its case when it says (about kids) "previous infection offers as good of protection as the vaccine against reinfection" esp since it _also_ seems like the protective effect of prior infection is both uncertain and changing.

The protective effect of prior infection is not uncertain, nor is it changing. There have been dozens of papers now, all saying the same thing: natural infection is at least as protective (if not more so) than even 3 doses of the current vaccines. If you are hearing otherwise, you are being misinformed. Full stop.

Here's the latest paper in a long line of consistent evidence, last week in the NEJM:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2203965

> No discernable differences in protection against symptomatic BA.1 and BA.2 infection were seen with previous infection, vaccination, and hybrid immunity. Vaccination enhanced protection among persons who had had a previous infection. Hybrid immunity resulting from previous infection and recent booster vaccination conferred the strongest protection.

Norway is saying what it is, because we know that most people -- vaccinated or previously infected -- will eventually get re-infected. But even if you are re-infected, you will be well-protected against severe illness.
There is machine learning to remove stars called starnet, though last I checked it doesn't to an great job with diffraction that severe. Starnet is used by astrophotographers to enhance the contrast of nebula without getting artifacts from stars or to make completely starless nebula images.

If someone got starnet to remove the stars in the JWT images it wouldn't then be hard to go overlay stars back in without the diffraction.

This isn't my experience at all. I've personally had three paid support cases attached to Bugzilla issues. Two of them were for bugs that had one-line fixes that were already committed upstream, along with test cases, and that I just needed Red Hat to backport. They sat for about 6 months before I got any response other than the automated monthly "our engineers are working on the Bugzilla." The third was for a problem that existed upstream too. It was opened over 2 years ago and still isn't fixed.

It doesn't mention static typing at all. It only mentions static scoping. In fact, the article credits to Lisp dynamic typing.

Also, the article doesn't credit any specific features to McCarthy. It credits to him Lisp itself and the idea that both code and data can be represented as lists, and then it credits to Lisp the invention of certain features, like first-class functions, garbage collection, etc. I don't think the article intends to imply some transitivity of credit.
