I too long for the day the metro crosses jaydeva hospital...
The folks at BMRCL are building a 5 layer system there (1 underpass, 1 flyover, 1 street level, 2 levels of metro as there is a changeover at jaydeva).

The fun part is that the part of the line after silk board (down south, towards hosur) is done, and is billed to start operations this year.
Tod Lasso is pretty much universally loved by friends of mine who have watched it. You don't have to be a soccer fan to watch it.

I don't know as many people who have watched Severance, but it's an incredibly good show- as long as Season 2 maintains the quality, I think it'll rank up there with shows like The Wire and Breaking Bad.
Which Git client do you use, and also, how do you remember all the remote branch names?

> And even the "long version" is pretty negligible (like, maybe 10 seconds per branch?)

I notice that mainly the differences in opinion with regards to workflow is disagreement about "how long is too long" for various operations :)
So how do we build a similar self surveillance system for the people in positions of power (judiciary, law enforcement, etc)?
OK, so turboprops are okay then? I'm asking because that'd just mean the problem got worse - the rich still have something to fly, only it's much more inefficient and noisy (it also flies lower and slower).

I don't think banning private jets solves the problem - there's much bigger fish to fry, orders of magnitude (container shipping). This is like trying to move an ocean with a bucket.

Anyways, I think the idea of private jets being replaced by luxury airliners is good, I just don't think this sort of rule ("ban private jets") is going to work well and result in a better world.

For example, it's notoriously hard to separate business and personal jet usage - the common scheme is having an Air Operator company manage your jet (provide maintenance, airport operations, crew, supply, etc) and provide it to other clients of the Air Operator when you're not using it. You're the nominal owner of the jet, but it's leased to the Air Operator and you have a contract that specifies how much usage of your jet is free. Thus every flight is a business flight - because the Air Operator is using it for the business of transporting people, sometimes the owner.

Regulators have given up and just treat business and personal usage the same (from owner perspective, there are differences in pilot licensing and crew/ops requirements).
So we are not going talk about the billions of Android phones still with unpatched 0 days that have been abandoned and haven't been fixed for years infected with ransomware?

Is that why over the space of 8 years, there has been only ONE ransomware case for iOS found vs 7+ and counting on Android with 900,000 devices infected in just 30 days? [0]

Of course you won't. Your comment is beside my point which I didn't say that iOS devices couldn't be hacked, compromised or attacked. My first reply specifically mentions the handling of this is done better on Apple devices, especially iOS devices.

As soon as a 0 day is found, the OTA rollout covers more than >60% of supported devices in less than a week after releasing, even on the 6 - 7 major versions below.

But of course, it appears you just had to deliberately misconstrue and misinterpret my replies, which happens very often with readers who rush into the comments section and never finish reading the whole comment.

What a shame.

Being a low-impact endurance sport means that cycling is conducive to really large training volumes relative to other sports. I recall reading that pro cyclists will spend 30+ hours a week on the bike.

Triathletes are even more crazy, though.
Exactly. It's interesting to see how poker seems to differ.
Quite frankly unsurprised by the very low level of reading comprehension by most of the replies here since not only you couldn't even reference where I even said that, but resorted to creating a straw-man.

Google, Mozilla, etc isn't the 'EU' that is making the significant changes at the W3C and they are the ones that spread the lies of the open-web in the first place which also explains how Google completely overtook Mozilla who just watched them and did absolutely nothing to stop them; hence why they are today crying that no-one is using their browser, despite being in the pockets of Google.

The opening up of browser choices on mobile is a red herring, as I already explained. It will allow Chrome to just get even stronger as we have already seen on Android. So it is in fact naive to think that anything on this will change.
For me, the keyword from the article was

> developing

meaning they haven't completed the tech yet. This is likely a marketing puff piece designed to drum up investment interest. I'll believe wild claims like

> 98% cheaper

once they actually happen.
They do a better job of policing their own than the software people, at least.

It turns out biting the hand that feeds (or may feed in the future) is not easy.
The video mentions people being willing to pay up to 2k for such devices.
With the DMA device itself costing a couple of hundred, plus cheat development time, plus extra hardware, I don't expect these setups become very affordable any time soon.
Severance is great but a really slow burn.
Since we're on that note, Russia is openly oppressive to queer people. It's illegal to say anything in public that suggests it's acceptable to be gay after a recent change in "gay propaganda" laws.

Ramzan Kadyrov, the de-facto tsar of the subdued republic of Ichkeria (aka Chechnya as a part of Russian Federation) has openly ran an extermination campaign against gay people.

So "they/them" worldwide do have a reason to support Ukraine in this war, besides basic human decency (in which your comment is, sadly, lacking).

I know it's not this company's focus, but I wish we had coast-to-coast and Mexico-to-Canada tunnels for travel and defense. Just imagine having no street-level highways, and what that would means for animal migrations in more rural areas. Has me thinking of some iRobot scenes. :)
But if you're expecting another dev to always be available to help you with a review, then they're the ones having to "context-switch", interrupting their own work.
The reality is context-switching is something that comes with the territory if you're working as part of a team developing software. Which isn't to say there aren't opportunities to minimise the disruption it causes, but the idea that you can more or less eliminate it seems like wishful thinking. Perhaps there's a case for minimising it for more junior devs that aren't as capable of dealing with it, though it's equally possible younger brains are better at it!
Apart from caching, BuildKit also provides automatic parallelization. Because of these two features, we use BuildKit to make our research results, experiments with program analysis tools on software benchmarks, easier to share and faster to execute.

As a more expressive frontend of BuildKit, we created a simple, non-Turing-complete logic programming language, which can also be thought of as docker-based Makefile.

When batteries are the primary bottleneck on production, the primary source of innovation, change, and price drops, then in that case batteries are not mere commodities but a key technology in the car.

The rest of an EV is pretty simple. Drivetrain is no longer a really hard component, as electric motors are far more straight forward.

> > It’s a car that’s hard part.

Countries that try to kickstart a new car industry often outsource the drivetrain, as it's the most difficult part to build.

With EVs, batteries are by far the touchiest and most difficult part to build. Companies that outsource battery design, or at a bare minimum are not intimated involved with the batteries for their own packs, will be left behind.
A few years back I was going through some old floppy disks I found in a box and, on one of them, I found a screenshot I took of my desktop circa winter of 2000. In it was a window open with a MUD I was logged into at the time. Another window had Winamp open with a playlist of songs and another window had ICQ open. The only reason I took it was because there was an unofficial competition between our pub and another pub elsewhere on the MUD about which was more popular, and we had finally surpassed them.

It's amazing how many emotions seeing that one image gave me. But the biggest was just this overwhelming sense of nostalgia. As I looked at that, I could remember what I was thinking, what I was feeling, everything that was happening in my super confusing teenage life at that time. Occasionally I will look at that image now, even 22 years later, I can still feel all those feeling again.

Of course, my ex's character is in the screenshot too. So, a bit bittersweet as well. :/
If you only train one part of your body (and that's all a single exercise like cycling is going to do for you), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.

It's like putting a powerful engine in a stock Toyota Tercel. What will you accomplish? You'll blow out the drive train, the clutch, the transmission, etc., because those factory parts aren't designed to handle the power of an engine much more powerful than the factory installed engine.

Cycling basically only trains the biceps and to some extent, the back muscles. What you really want to do is train your entire body, all the major muscle groups (chest, back, abdomen, legs, shoulders and arms) at the same time, over the course of a workout. And don't forget your cardiovascular work! I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three cheers! Falling in love with exercise, eating right, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.
No, but the higher the moat the less cheaters you have. No anti-cheat is perfect or even blocks all cheaters, hell even console has aimbots thanks to console modding. It’s about reducing the amount, making it harder and preemptively banning people who go at it wrong, i.e.: using a known cheat.

Better to have few cheaters than a million of them running baby’s-first-Python-script that just sends plain old WM_MOUSE.
> Probably some arcane git magic to (interactively) rebase branch

There is not really a command for that yet, short of adding a bunch of `exec` steps to your interactive rebase manually. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32217204 for an upcoming command.

You might enjoy using https://github.com/gitext-rs/git-stack, which specifically tries to let you manage stacked branches locally while not exposing tons of PRs to your coworkers.

git-branchless itself also lets you manage stacked branches in various ways. For example, you can do `git checkout <branch>`, `git commit --amend`, and then `git restack` to rebase all the descendant branches sensibly. You can use it on the local side of things only and then use Github PRs as normal.
I've used and customized ExtJS a lot, but Sencha the company didn't make it entirely easy. Even after paying the license fees they were still kind of a pain (except one or two awesome people I can think of).
That's not how competent research is done. You don't go into a hole for 5 years and then come back into the world with a fully-formed paper. While you're doing that research, the world moves on, and if your citations are from 5 years ago, any publication will ask the extremely appropriate question "How does this matter w.r.t. the research published since you started this work?", and send the paper back for rewrite. Or, it may ask the even more appropriate question "Why does your research matter given the results of papers x,y,z which are directly related to your research question?" Any competent researcher should preempt in their literature review, and if they can't then it's not research but instead PR.

And this doesn't even touch upon the fact that research that's going to take 5 years is going to be well-funded, and you'll have to write interim reports over that period. When you get 5 years of funding, you don't get that all at once. During that time, you'll have to answer for advances in the field and justify why the research is still worth doing.
I'm not even sure they could get that kind of power into the small tunnels they'd be making.

Seems to me, if they really can plasma cut rock it would be way easier to slice out sections and remove large chunks of solid rock. Or chop it into many smaller "bricks" and move those out.

I agree that this does not yet replace wordpress, however it's a step in the right direction.

I do think that this does have an audience, travelers or those in places with bad network infrastructure like volunteers in the Peace Corps could make good use of this, where they may go months without getting internet access.

Also, I see this as a great tool to use for my personal non monetized blog, where I don't need the infinite variety of themes or the need to constantly keep the system up to date. I just want something I can type up notes or simple ideas and publish them simply. I don't think this is a huge subset of users right now, but it would be nice to have things like this more available for this type of use.

I'm not in the US, so can't really help. But try somewhere like Wordans - https://www.wordans.com/blank-apparel-accessories-c37029/sho... (they're in the UK as well). There are tons of blanks, they're a few bucks each. Order 10 or 15 different brand white t-shirts, in your size. You'll quickly find the cut, weight and feel that you like the most.

You're almost correct.

HN isn't the website for this kind of article.

Highlighting the context of the content (which the article carefully omitted) is what HN is all about.

Russian tech is used to murder people in my country. It's hypocritical to be discussing Russian tech while trying to censor the mentions of its applications.

That's the whole point, is it not? Anticheat is malicious software burning up CPU cycles and reducing security whether you're cheating or not...
I've also been working half of my career in 1-person silos. The freedom was great but the stress lead to more than one burnout and said belligerence. Luckily not that extreme but it obviously took me a while to realize how much better it is to work in actual teams that are managed and where responsibility and knowledge are shared. At 2 workplaces I had to own everything from Desktop IT over actual development to product. There's much to hate about Agile and Scrum but I think the mentioned work mode is becoming a thing of the past.
No offense but having "Cupertino" in your username kinda reinforces my point :)

I remember reading "Learning Python" in the 1.5 days and then a bit later properly using Python the 2.0 days. It seemed a lot simpler back then, and seemed like a clean powerful successor to the 8bit BASICs I started with. And nothing else at the time seemed to capture that clean easy on ramp to coding feeling, but still allowing you to go much further than eg an 8bit BASIC.

Presumably if you limited which parts of the now massive 3.10 you exposed to newbies, you could still get the same result? The very basics haven't changed too much since 20+ yrs ago. I suppose the trouble is that any web searching is going send newbies off the tracks into advanced topics pretty quickly now, but that is still likely in just about any language.
Rather than doing 7 rounds of interviewing before finding out the salary, why not ask earlier in the process?
Can anyone recommend a high quality ebook reader app for Android, that would be compatible with one or more of the formats this site offers?

A counterargument could be that engaging in certain reckless behaviors will require paying higher insurance or taxes to cover the inevitable permanent disabilities. Much like smoking premiums.

The most recent issues for which the Texas electrical grid was in the news for, the near-blackouts earlier this month, were specifically because of unpredictably low wind speeds in west Texas which reduced Texas's expected wind generation from ~20 GW to under 2 GW during the periods of peak demand. For context, peak demand in Texas is around 80 GW. Taking 18+ GW off the table is a huge blow. 18 GW is more than the entire electrical demand of most US states.

Fox news has nothing to do with it. Generation capacity being reduced by nearly 25% due to unpredictably low wind speeds is physics. It's a huge problem being faced, and sticking your head in the sand and crying "fake news" isn't helpful.
Regarding the hardware detection - there's always way to up the game and make the system totally airgapped.

It is not impossible to have mechanical actuators pressing keys and moving a mouse, and a webcam watching a real monitor. While that's an awful lot of work compared to just reading data off a bus and simulating a HUD device, consider that some decades ago (when the fight was entirely about API hooking and ReadProcessMemory) DMA snooping was considered merely an unrealistic, theoretical possibility.
Honestly no bike belongs mixing with pedestrians any more than any other vehicle bell or no bell. A pedestrian is meandering along at 1-3MPH a bike is comparatively racing at 10-20.

Even at only 10MPH you are closing on a slow walker by at least 13 feet per second. If they notice you 60 feet behind they have less than 5 seconds to react. If they don't notice you and you don't maneuver you'll hit them. If you maneuver and they also try to get out of the way you might still hit them.

I've had multiple bikes zip by with very little space where a slight step to the side would have let to disaster. Honestly anyone caught biking on the sidewalk ought to have their equipment impounded and sold.
I've worked in both extensively, and there are certainly far more similarities than differences. I've put C# devs on to Java codebases and got them up to speed very quickly. But you still need to have Java pros that know all the gotchas etc. to do the code reviews.
If built using a 'plasma cutters oriented in a fibonacci spiral' this thing will only be able to cut through conductive materials.

Yeah, there is a lot of stuff floating around. I tried 3 therapists for a similar type of ailment and none really worked, the last one was best by just guiding me slowly as you do need to “build up” back to a body functionality. For me it was walking properly (heel to toe) that slowly got me back into normalcy.

Correct. People also assume that you’re always going to get paid more at a new gig. This just isn’t true in SV. If you joined a startup and it rocketships - I’ve seen many smart engineers stick around for years just because they have a 7-fig TC. Why would they move elsewhere?

5-7 years ago this would have been a bigger deal. These days there are so many ways of getting on people's television sets that network TV seems like an outdated method. The only thing getting on Network TV really gets you is guaranteed reach, which is shrinking as more and more people don't have cable at home.

For OAN specifically, I suspect they will move the show to Rumble and continue as an internet only show from there, they will likely reach a similar number of viewers, or at least their core audience.
NIMBYs aren’t making this better for sure. But the bigger problem is with local policies that allow unlimited commercial real estate and there is a ton of vacancies right now. However these townships don’t want to rezone them for residential use or to at least temporarily house the homeless. Instead they just blame and the get pitchforks for the folks that either got - they came a long long time ago or for the honest hard working folks that paid for it - property taxes and all and hence expect something in return.

Please educate people and vote for rezoning empty commercial real estate blight - this is the one that will have the highest impact. Even offices that are occupied have 10-15 occupancy rate because of covid.
