more difficult than most steel, but still easier to weld than aluminum... also less rust resistant than aluminum... I'm not sure what my point is.
It's better than nothing but I don't intend to be happy about it alone. I don't even think it'll be cheap in the end. Road maintenance is already expensive and neglected in cities. Making cars heavier is not going to help at all, it's just shifting the pain around.
This is also what I mean by stand-up.

These stand-ups get in the way. I'm bored when I need to listen to what people have to say, or worse, what they are making up. I'm stressed by what I need to say or make up. They take time. They often happen at a time where my productivity would be the best / when I'm in the middle of something, or else I need to rush to get on time. Or to watch for the time when we are close and interrupt everything I'm doing. This, every single day. It's fine for meaningful meetings solving real problems, but stand-ups are not this kind of meeting for me.

I very much prefer not having a daily synchronization point, and instead give status to relevant people when needed, or give my status when asked for (which is not too often, we can see what tasks is left for me in the bug tracker). If I'm blocked or if I have a question, I'll ask. If colleagues have a question, they'll ask.
We have flexible hours, not at exactly the same timezone, some people are already full of important meetings. Not having a standup to babysit, to schedule, to watch for and to be stressed about is one less problem to handle.

I'm thrilled to be able to start my work day when I'm ready and not having to interrupt for this daily thing that does not seem to bring much value in the end. I'm happy to be able to have an unproductive day and make up for it the next day without nobody noticing it and without me lying about it, because in the end, it's none of nobody's business and it doesn't matter. And the day is just a bad unit of time for development tasks most of the time.

When I had to attend daily stand-ups, indeed standing-up (wtf!), I just had the impression we were (treated like) a bunch of children not able to be autonomous for a few days.

But then, it seems everybody in my current team is wired for working efficiently without this kind of things, so it works for us. We are also good at knowing what people are on to by the reading the stuff they are discussing on the chat, and the big picture, fast, weekly status update we have anyway. I don't need the details brought by the stand up, unless I do but then I will get them via efficient communication anyway.

It doesn’t ‘preclude’ anything by disclaiming implications either way. It leaves all possibilities open, which is the opposite of ‘precluding’.

Someone can absolutely say “Though some might think my prior words endorse or reject X, let me be clear I don’t endorse or reject X.” You can mention X, especially in a aspires-to-be-rigorous context like law, without committing to a treatment.

I should have been more clear, but I was specifically thinking of major social media sites like those when I wrote that sentence, not some marginal social media site like thedonald.win that's easy to ignore.

Also the main thing I was commenting on was defining things in such a way that describes a slanted result with faux-neutral language (e.g. "when it happens to us it's censorship, when it happens to you it's just enforcing the rules").

> * An MIT study found that a huge chunk of the lifetime emissions of a vehicle is in the production alone. EVs, mostly due to their batteries, have much much higher production emissions.*

At this point, that's only true if you're living in the dirtiest power grid in the US, are a low milage driver, and you junk your EV within two years of purchasing it new.

Also, the ICE car in this comparison has to be over a decade old (< 10% of the original embodied CO2 averaged out over the years), has to have top-tier fuel efficiency and also be much smaller than the EV.

The union of concerned scientists has a calculator for this based on zip code, and the exact model of EV.
Even NIST (1) claims that leap seconds are added to sync UTC with IAT.

Your point is that astronomical systems don’t use IAT directly but instead start with UTC and convert across various other systems? Could be, but then the purpose of UTC syncing was lost somewhere. Any idea why?

Genuinely curious as to why this is
If it's intended to be in that state, then it's valid.

But following the example: if you made the player's health a public property, code could straight up just set it to a negative number. The game engine this is running in may not properly support a negative health value. If instead it was set using a public method, there can be added checks to lower bound health to zero. And depending on the architecture, all of the post death animation stuff could also be handled as a check in that function call.

Thanks, that’s a theory making Fedora’s statements somewhat more understandable than they were with just the LWN excerpt. Namely, that other licenses, by being silent, might be construable as implying patent permissions.

Perhaps the Creative Commons lawyers erred by mentioning patents at all, and they should issue a corrected “CC0v2”!
RDOF buildout mostly hasn't even started and the deadline is 2028. This is a case of ISPs admitting that they can't serve areas they bid on. Around 2030 we'll discover the areas that ISPs still aren't serving even though they got paid to do so.

It turns out manufacturing and distribution aren't the same business (food is a perfect example, there are used to be multiple layers of wholesalers, supermarkets took that all away...if you take them away, you get the layers of wholesalers...I will also say, farmer's markets aren't as clean, no-one today knows how unclean food used to be before supermarkets but that is another major reason why they exist).

You would have thought that a former policymaker/lobbyist would have known better than the market...he went to Harvard you known. But it turns out that there is a reason why businesses have been organized this way for the past three centuries.
An elimination diet is a protocol where you start with a baseline of "safest" foods and exclude everything for a while, and then.. in an orderly fashion, start to re-introduce foods while noting how you respond or change in light of those additions. It's a protocol, one you can get from a nutritionist or dietician or by searching online. And the food lists can be adapted to people with varying eating modalities.
Have they actually failed? Or are they headed for failure if they can't get things straightened out?

My biggest issue with them is the low quality of so many articles. They have little to no "meat on the bones".

Relatedly, I really don't understand why they never added syntax highlighting for block quotes so developers would feel more comfortable using their platform. Seems like a big missed opportunity.
Few years ago I brought a "fancy" microwave oven because it didn't have a turn table. I figured the lack of moving parts would add to its longevity.

I'm not sure about this.

This mistake could easily have been in other vendors Linux GPU drivers, they in the end don't have nearly the same priority (and in turn resources) as the Windows GPU drivers. And it's a very easy mistake to find. And I don't know if anyone even cared about ray tracing with Intel integrated graphics on Linux desktops (and in turn no one profiled it deeply). I mean ray tracing is generally something you will do much less likely on a integrated GPU. And it's a really easy mistake to make.

And sure I'm pretty sure their software department(s?) have a lot of potential for improvement, I mean they probably have been hampered by the same internal structures which lead to Intel faceplanting somewhat hard recently.
IMO, Clubhouse was a good idea for the zeitgeist (lockdowns) and had a lot of novelty value, but ultimately wasn't what people really wanted. What they really wanted was Twitter Spaces because that's the actual public town square and that's where "knowledgeable" speakers can have opportunistic discussions, pop in and have their say then leave.

Clubhouse should have tried to sell itself to Twitter as soon as possible, though I'm not sure it could have worked out regardless. It's just too easy to copy the idea, and they're unlucky because of that.
Review: HP Dev One Linux Laptop
For future leap seconds, Google (including GCP) are planning to use a "standard" smear (https://developers.google.com/time/smear). This is also the same smear used by AWS.

It seems like if the ITU decides to keep the leap second (a bad idea, in my opinion), the large infrastructure providers will just use the same standard smear for their clocks.
I mean, what I'm pointing to here is critical theory. From CRT going into gender and critical queer theory all the way into fat studies, etc. It can all be grouped under grievance studies and it's a large part of what the social sciences have outputted. It also happens to be political useful and used to cite "the science" as a justification for wielding power and making claims to knowledge.

Anyways - you seem to like to take this line all the time - "where's the evidence". It's everywhere. It isn't my job to keep you informed of the world you occupy. Either willfully or not, your inability to keep up on developments isn't an excise to demand "sources" when you have access to the same search engines as everyone else. This information isn't difficult to find.

I've been recruiting a marketer for some time and eventually gave up and assumed the role myself and I can concur this.

The vast majority of marketers just know how to show activity but have no idea how to track, optimize and actually convert clients. Let alone find creative ways that are not just "test more ads" and "create more content".

Even simply tracking ROI across the marketing/sales funnel is too much to ask
I feel like "what would it look like if I was there with my own eyes?" is a question that is decreasingly interesting the more you think about it.

Your wall would look very different depending on whether the sun or your lamp shines on it. Or maybe you're in complete darkness?

What does the sun look like up close?
Your eyes would malfunction.

A picture could look very different depending on lens and camera settings.

Your perception could be very different from that of someone who has just woke up in a dark room,
walked in from the sun, or peaking on acid.

I guess "convey information" would be an important principle to both brains and astronomists.
It is too much. I was Google SRE and there is an internal meme showing a time series graph jumping backwards during the double 1am at DST. These mistakes happen everywhere and are best avoided by a system that doesn't allow them to happen in the first place.
That it is dynamic and unpredictable is exactly why we should not force everybody to track it.

Some people: astronomers and orbital mechanicos are obliged to care about sidereal time, regardless. Making me deal with it too is pure tax with exactly zero benefit.
> "getting the word out"

To be even more precise (or pedantic), "getting the word out" (aka generating awareness) in general is called "Promotion." Advertising is a form of promotion. So is "word-of-mouth" and public relations (aka press relations). All of them fall under the broad responsibility of "Marketing."

When I write a private class, I'm declaring to the world:
These are the methods now available, their expected inputs, and their return types.

Anything I do inside that class that isn't marked public is an implementation detail, and might change. Given time, likely will change! But if it's not marked public, then if you want to access something in there, you'll need to think through the implications of making it public, either a new method of by adding to an existing method.

If I come along later and want to change things about those methods, I can do that freely, so long as I maintain the same input types and return types.

Internally I can change a counter from an Int to an Long, and it doesn't matter to anybody. Internally I can change the way I'm assembling a String, and that's fine. Internally I can move the definition for an interim variable to a separate function with its own tests, and that's fine. So long as I maintain the input types and return types, all is good.

If the fields and methods were public, on the other hand, then other classes might be accessing them directly, and now any change has to be negotiated with all callers. The counter needs to be changed from an Int to a Long? If it's public, you'll need to make sure that no other classes anywhere are referring to that counter and expecting it to be an Int.

Side effects are generally unwanted, and marking things as public is making everything in an implementation a side effect.
What's the point of having a standup for devs while at the same time assigning a manager to study and organize their JIRA entries? Wouldn't it be better to simply route all notifications through the manager, 7 to 1 (or 6 to 1 if you can find a dev who can reliably manage the communication network between your devs) and then just route the information into JIRA or upstream towards the bosses?

I've never had a case where it made sense to wait until the next day to bring something up to my organization and I've never been to a planned meeting where someone didn't get abused by management for only bringing up the issue at that time.
I agree that it would be helpful to show a simple use case on the home page. Maybe I'm not the target customer (although I am a soloproneur), but your user flow of (1) user clicking a button, (2) plunk receiving an event, (3) plunk sends an email, isn't really a problem that I have, since sending an email after an action is taken is pretty easy to manage. Are you are focusing on categorizing users into groups and sending them progressive emails?

LA has a lot of low hanging fruit with the classic "two parking lane four car lanes and a center turning lane" arterial that is laid out about every half mile in the cardinal directions across the entire county. Just nix the turning lane and two car lanes, and turn the existing bus lines that run along those arterials into BRT and LA would become a model for the western world of how to run low cost transit.

It will never happen of course, because the city council and most wings of local government are openly corrupt with regular FBI indictments.
> the chemical imbalance narrative has been incredibly harmful.

Yet beneficial for others. I know several people who only sought help, and came to terms with their depression, after understanding that it was not their home life, not their fault, and that it was, in their case, just a physiological imbalance (seemingly inherited for most), and where helped tremendously by ingesting chemicals.

I also have examples of people who were told that antidepressants should be avoided, and it's better to "just change" and "be happy", who are no longer with us. I think the most harm comes from oversimplifying complex topics that we barely understand, which appears to be what happened in your case, and what you appear to be approaching now.

Since I'm myself Russian and residing in Russia, I'd be glad to verify your statements as you weren't kind enough to provide prooflinks.

> They jailed many thousands of protesters for the same thing.

The same thing being "being anti-war". Well, this one is veritably incorrect, in fact, the opposite is true -- I haven't heard of a single person being jailed for being anti-war. There was a woman who showed an anti-war banner on national television during prime-time, she was fined about $500, Marina Ovsyannikova. So, what's your source?

> In Russia, they jailed a lawmaker for being anti-war.

Care to share the source here as well? What's his name?
I agree with you that disruption comes from individuals, but the institutions nourish individual types and filter for individuals. Worst of all, some institutions reward the "meta-hack" aka hacking institutions to circumvent the selection pressure (after all its what they themselves often do to thrive) and before you know it its a office full of people who are extremely good at grant hacking and bad at research.

I wonder what would happen, if you would allow for 20 % of the money to be distributed at random.

Like if the grant application fails, you still have a chance for a wildcard.
It isn't a joke. In fact, mainstream books such as "White Fragility" and "How to be an Anti-Racist" literally advocate for this. We see policy decisions justified by these "studies".

I don't think 10 people has anything to do with a single household but maybe I'm just an out-of-touch liberal coastal elite. But seriously, one person can use around 25 Mbps which is why there's discussion of defining broadband to be 100 Mbps per household.

La Marseillaise was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle and the "impure blood" clearly refers to the enemies of France. Take a look at the lyrics immediately following the controversial section.

Here's a translation from Wikipedia:

"Let an impure blood

Water our furrows!

What does this horde of slaves

Of traitors and conspiring kings want?

For whom have these vile chains

These irons, been long prepared? (repeated)

Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage

What furious action it must arouse!

It is for us they dare plan

A return to the old slavery!

What! Foreign cohorts!

Would make the law in our homes!

What! These mercenary phalanxes

…(later)

Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,

Bear or hold back your blows!

Spare those sorry victims,

For regretfully arming against us (repeated)"

Okay so Frenchmen are magnaminous, valorous warriors. The enemy are the slaves of tyrants. And we're meant to believe the impure blood in a song written by a French revolutionary era freemason refers to the third estate? Seems unlikely to me.
I think this is especially worth considering and practicing in this particular forum. It often feels like one of the signals of an authoritative, respectable comment on HN is how effectively the commenter distances themselves from their own humanity.

We easily and consistently dismiss any argument that shows emotion, are in fact proud of doing so. It creates a dynamic where we're trying to outdo each other's inhumanity, flex how cold and logical we can be in pursuit of a goal or argument. But without the humanity beneath, without the emotion to motivate us, there is no point to anything, no reason to prefer any outcome to any other.

If you ask 100 average people on the street in a non-buddhist country, most of these won't know what Zen is.

Some of the people will have a fuzzy picture revolving around East Asia, monks and meditation. Only a very small fraction will have deeper knowledge about this topic like koans and zazen.

So depending on your target audience, using "Zen" for marketing might not be very useful, unless you're planning to play with the more common (but less accurate) connotations.
