There is really no need to get rid of all powered individual transport. That is basically an ideological position, not a scientific one. It has basically become a modern secular religion, where people feel the need to atone for the "sin" of harming the environment, and want to forcibly convert the rest of us heathens.

Anthropomorphic global climate change is absolutely a real problem and we should do more to reduce carbon emissions. But reliable, high-speed personal mobility has brought about a tremendous improvement in quality of life. There's no way I'll agree to give up owning personal cars.
Compared to a 2CV, I agree; but it was definitely less substantial than the average American sedan back then.
The pressure vessel is not a solid mass of steel, it's a hollow container. The thickness of the walls remains the same for the same pressure (it does need to increase slightly because it needs to support the weight of the pressure vessel itself) but the volume increase is cubic.

Cubic volume increase vs. quadratic surface area increase means larger sizes are more effective.
The biggest risk in business (and investing)
He's aware of a way to develop memory-corruption-fault free code, obviously.
IMO it takes time to get up to speed but then it's pure bliss in terms of reliability. And don't go to yaml hell, use pulumi or equivalent.

I think the problem is Google is significantly less productive with their thousands of incompetents than they used to be their their dozens of professionals.

Google does not need thousands of engineers, they simply don't have enough financial pressure to stop themselves from hiring dead weight.
With "returning to 60s or 80s standards of technology", do you mean repairability and great build quality? That would a great step towards a circular / no-waste economy :)
FWIW, i3 is in the same ballpark, maybe a bit less if I am not mistaken.
So is everyone else! Can't happen soon enough.
Survey of Config Languages
I'm the average driver on the road, and I'm out of my mind
Green. It was one of the latest made (1974).

I've done plenty of really long trips with it (many thousands of km), but I did replace all of the accessible high pressure LHM tubing at some point to get rid of the periodical 'Arret!' light on the dash because the system lost pressure. I can also tell you from experience that trying to drive a DS without pressure is both an art and a body building exercise at once.

Xantia is a great compromise between 'modern' and 'old fashioned', a bit plasticy but the one I had I drove into the ground over many 100's of thousands of km. The final nail in that particular coffin was to lose the headgasket somewhere between Munich and NL and just continuing the trip, it even got decent fuel economy but it wouldn't start up after being shut down and once we looked into the engine it was declared a miracle that it made it all the way back. Great car, all around and given the distances covered ultra reliable.

The real problem in the DS model is the semi-automatic gearbox which is super finicky regarding hydraulics levels (you'll notice a ticking sound when it is trying to engage and can't quite make it due to a lack of fluid, you can temporarily fix that under the hood by forcibly actuating it but driving it like that is really not recommended. Nor is driving it when one of your drive shafts breaks and you block up that side of the drive train. Nice low engine revs though, we jokingly called it 'economy mode'.

I also had an ID-19, a simpler but altogether far more robust car.
this looks nice. generous free tier! seconding the idea that it would be nice if gitops (flat config files in git) was a first class interface to configure everything. that would be a differentiator for me.

If you have an universal constructor, yes, it's going to be a problem that solves itself.

In practice you need a high fidelity weight sensor and a handful of transistors.
Thanks, sidecars, like envoy and linkerd-proxy, already do protocol detection even if it is just for metrics. Maybe their stack can be augmented to do latency and fault stimulation. For plain http nginx might be an option indeed.
Boox Nova Air C. Color e-reader. I've never had an e-reader before. The refresh is slow, the colors are like a faded cheap newspaper, and it's not as sharp as a b&w kindle. But I love it. It runs a heavily modified version of Android, and can load anything from the play store, but mainly it's just so much better to read on than my former tablet because you aren't really tempted use it for much else, other than maybe some article browsing. As it's a Chinese-made OS and device I don't use it to connect to any services that require an important password. But I have to say, the interface gets better with every update... it's very clever and full of tricks and shortcuts once you get to know it. The best part is the wacom pen and note taking which really feels like a marker on paper, as opposed to writing on glass. I write short fiction in my spare time and have started taking it out and writing longhand on it as opposed to typing on a laptop. Little pricey for an e-reader but it's definitely my favorite purchase of the past year.
Copenhagen is a pretty car centric city though, public transport has traditionally not been that well prioritized. It is good city for bicycles, but the suburbs are sadly made for cars IMHO. There is also alot of infrastructure being built for cars in and around Copenhagen so it's not changing soon.
i might have missed it in the article but it seems the issue is that there arent enough mines coming online to meet the new demand NOT that we dont have enough copper. it is about the same abundance as zinc and nickel. this is where the free market should help, if the price goes up enough it should incentivize companies to open more mines and possibly innovate new mining methods.
unreadable cursive, ruins the work
This is the third time I've read it, and I must be constipated because I still don't give a shit. X11 with Openbox works fine for me. Likewise for FVWM and Window Maker. Maybe you should learn to use a plain old window mangler; if you want Windows you know where to find it.

Nor will I give a shit about Wayland until OpenBSD forks it, audits it to within an inch of its miserable life, and incorporates it into its base distribution to replace Xenocara.

I've owned a TI-84+ calculator since around middle school (they are priced ridiculously everywhere on the planet, and this only exacerbates the problem because of purchasing power differences). However, it can provide a unique programming environment that rivals modern setups with a lot of learning potential (perhaps I would recommend NumWorks these days, but it's still $100.)

One of the earliest programs I wrote in middle school was a program to solve quadratic equations given the coefficients, then a program to compute the golden ratio by iterating the function f(x) = 1+1/x, and a Langston's ant program (all written in TI-BASIC on the device itself, with zero setup necessary.)

Later on in high school (late 2010s) as I learned C programming and data structures on my own, I read "Learn TI-83 Plus Assembly In 28 Days"[0] and got into assembly programming, eventually culminating in a Forth-based operating system[1] that runs from boot. You do need to have a computer for this setup, but the calculator comes with a cable in the box. It also was not uncommon to see other high school students download games or do light forms of hacking (mostly centered around storing data to be retrieved during exams.)

Contrast this to if you wanted to do assembly programming on a modern computer and understand the boot processes of your machine. It's significantly more complicated that even at the university level it is not taught in detail. The boot process[2] or memory mapping[3] for the 84+ can be understood relatively easily, and the assembly instructions are much simpler.

While I similarly lament the price point, the fact that you have essentially given/required the purchase of a standardized, self-contained, non-trivial computer to students could potentially be used to teach programming and computer science from an early age.

The Xantia probably has the best of the hydraulic suspension systems that were ever on the market (including MB, which is a ridiculously fragile system). The XM is more comfy but the Xantia is far more reliable mostly because it is a somewhat simpler system (cheaper car, so less complexity = more profit but incidentally also more reliability).

The very worst was the SM, which overcomplicated just about everything. If you open the hood on one you'll have at least six "WHY?"'s going through your head at once, the kicker being the rotating shaft over the top of the engine to drive a pump on the other side of the block.
Agreed that it's a narrow specialty. I think being a skilled (and careful!) woodworker is the primary prerequisite though; many luthiers have little or no musical talent (which may go partway to explaining why instruments are valued more on the quality of workmanship than the quality of sound they produce).

Grocery delivery services are mostly trash and don't save time; in my experience dealing with the hassles often takes more time than just driving to the supermarket. The delivery windows are too wide, and often too far in the future. They don't pick the right pieces of meat or produce. And if something is out of stock they pick an inappropriate substitute, not none at all.
TI has never supported C on its calculators. That's part of the fun :)
I think a large reason of why people don't want to use public transit, which is often overlooked, is the social aspect: If you regularly use public transit, you're bound to have encounters with antisocial people who basically ruin it for everyone.

The encounters I had on some regional transit made me think its probably better to just eat the extra bills for the car, rather than getting stabbed by some crackhead who turned the train (station) into their new home to escape the cold of winter.
Ask HN: How do you give feedback on your friend's writing/blog posts?
A good friend of mine has started writing recently and he sends me his drafts to proof read. Unfortunately for us both, I'm neither a writer nor experienced in giving feedback on writing. I mostly leave feedback on grammar/typos, rambling, structure, splitting up/staying on topic, give my 2 cents/perspective on the topic and maybe some insight into what people might want to read.

What kind of feedback do you all focus on? Any good resources I could check out to give better feedback?
Intent to deceive is what makes it a fake/fraud. No?
the article address that :

While there is enough copper in the world, geologically speaking, to supply the increased demand, there isn’t enough time.

It takes 10 to 15 years to get a new copper mine through permitting and construction. Twenty years is not unusual for very large projects.
If you go to the page in question (available here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Zakir_Meyra) it has not one but two warnings at the top of the page about the content within. Is this not an example of Wikipedia's process working as intended?
Quasi-german here. Cash is still king in Germany as of 2022.

It has gotten better after the Pandemic.

Germans use outdated tech because it works. They use cash very rapidly and efficiently. I’d say Germans handle cash faster than paying with physical cards.
Which “standard repos” don’t contain the Go or Rust compiler these days? All the major distros have both, as far as I know.
Sure. Though they would still give me the satisfaction of knowing that their product was brought into being by my work. Which is to say, better still than letting what I have rot away in a drawer until someone else comes along and builds an identical thing two years from now. That being said, getting some part of the profits also would be even nicer.
There's something this article doesn't mention: such drivers go full retard when it rains, and you don't want to be on the same roadway as them when it snows.
Great to see alternatives.

A tangent, but bear with me: after finishing the really good book The End of the World is Just Beginning, I think it makes a lot of sense to continue building cutting edge tech that requires international supply chains, BUT, also having locally manufactured tech good enough to power locally sourced computers, run tractors, etc. International supply chains have enriched many areas of the planet but to assume that they will last seems very risky. Always have a Plan B.

EDIT: call this Plan B Tech

Every message is about the poster’s social or political messaging or gloating about their altruism. All to get few more likes just like Febu.

The unprofessionalism of the whole site is very repulsive.
If I had a surfeit of friends, giving feedback on their writing or blog posts would be an excellent way to fix that in a hurry.
Why not? A lot of europea cities went car-centric (building highways through city centres etc) in the 20th century, and a lot of those changes have been rolled back. It won’t happen immediately, but it could easily happen over say 50 years. The barriers are political not technical.
Well I have no idea where you live or how that relates to my comment?
On a parallel Earth, Vox has published an article praising Amazon to the high heavens for hiring felons and troubled youth.

Nobody wants to hire ex-convicts, yet when they have nothing to lose (like a decent job) they're at far greater risk for recidivism. It's a bummer for the union people, I suppose, but as someone greatly concerned with how our society shows no shame in blatant classism with regards to ex-cons, I really wish Amazon the best with this program and hope it quickly spreads to other companies as well. That their reasons for doing so are not entirely altruistic just doesn't worry me in this particular case.

This is complicated by the physical reality that different trains can't occupy the same physical space concurrently. One line coming more frequently displaces another.

There is a fair deal of complexity to this, that the common populace seems to assume isn't being implemented already. Transit is a very complicated prediction/optimization problem

I would expect suggesting possible immigration/leaving extended family/taking a massive pay cut over improving ones home would be a preposterous response! I suspect you know its preposterous but are enjoying some sort of pride in Europe? The idea that you need to move to a different continent for something so simple and attainable by other means is... Idk, you've lost me. Have a good one!
Sure, depending on the application you can just redesign to larger gauge aluminium. Aluminium has useful mechanical properties that trump the lower conductivity (such as power lines,where thermal cycles can make copper brittle). You could argue that there is a silver shortage in a similar way as the article has argued a copper shortage...
If the number of EVs on the road today remained static for the next 20 years, recycling the metals in them might be able to make up the bulk of the demand. But EV sales are growing exponentially.

Why would car manufacturers be limited to copper from cars? For example, there's huge amounts of copper in telecoms infrastructure that's being replaced with fibre at the moment. The originating source of the metal is irrelevant. The only things that matter at purity, contaminants, and cost. If the copper is sufficiently high quality, doesn't contain anything that would stop it being used in a battery or a motor, and it's cheap enough, then it's all good.

Along similar lines, I bought a handpan a couple of years ago and it's very lovely indeed. Since then most of my (many) other instruments have been mostly gathering dust.

For pizzas check out the "G3 Ferrari G10006" - compact, indoor, goes up to double normal oven temperature. I was thinking of getting a wood fired outdoor one until I realised this thing does the job.
The C906 is very slow, but so is, it appears, the Pi Zero.

The good news is that there are a lot of faster options right around the corner. The Pine folks is working on releasing Star64 (quad SiFive FU740 1.5GHz) [1] and I know of at least two other RISC-V SBCs in the pipeline. I'm not quite ready to declare "2022 is the year of the RISC-V desktop" yet though.

Note, the FU740 is in-order dual-issue with a comfortable L2 cache.
Wouldn't you want to use KubeVirt for this?
Kind of weird to perform extensive benchmarks against an outdated version. The Pi Zero 2 is a lot faster!
Yes, that's true whatever came out of Detroit in those days would classify as an armored vehicle now. The steel on those things was a time and a half as thick as your typical EU economy car. That showed up in the kerb weight as well.
At least for America, which was the country cited in the article, transit might take twice as long as driving, but driving costs many more times than using buses, plus there’s no up front cost, random major repairs, etc; related links below.

Beyond that, American cities are largely designed for cars, which makes mass transit less viable. Not aware of any city in America designed for mass transit first, driving second; if it was, driving would likely take longer.

A large number of European vending machines still accept the 10 thai baht coin as a 2 Euro coin (10 baht are approx. 30 cents).

Radiation alone provides security. The plant diagram already has two fences with coresponding checkpoints. One needs to stop potential looters, so basically checkpoits with a guard each and a patrol vehicle with a team of two. Make it armed guards if you're in the US where everyone and their grandmother owns not one but several firearms. That plus the usual access cards and CCTV. This isn't a military nuclear weapons lab, it's a civilian power facility.
My wife and I are similar. After having many bikes stolen over the years we buy used bikes from a local non profit here in SF that benefits at risk youth. We get a bike for a few hundred dollars that works great and we're not afraid of being stolen, they get something for the kids to work on and benefit them. We love biking around the city, nearly all the value is not in the bike but in the experiences, so it's not really needed to get a fancy one, the big thing is to get out and ride.
That depends on your view of social security. It may become more of an issue if contributions become a progressive tax (no payroll income cap.)

>Germans use outdated tech because it works.

That's not a good argument for progress in general. We'd still be in the stone age with that mentally.

This is also a reflection on the lack of digitalization and IT/tech innovation in Germany and Austria in general vs other European countries that tend to adopt tech earlier.

>I’d say Germans handle cash faster than paying with physical cards.

I'd beg to differ when there's lots of change and coins involved.

Some could be fast with an abacus but that doesn't mean we're not all better off with pocket calculators.

Like with many things, just because that's how Germany does a thing, doesn't mean it's great.

Copper as a material is fairly unique in that many things we make of copper have alternatives that could be used if the cost was too high.

For example, copper is used for water pipes. But we also have steel and plastic pipes.

Copper is also used for wiring and electrical conductors - but we can redesign circuits to use higher voltages (double the voltage needs only one quarter of the copper). Or, we can switch to aluminium for wiring, which is also a good conductor.

Plenty of users are already economical with copper. For example, have you noticed that if you buy a USB cable that's 1 meter it is less than half the price of a 2 meter cable? Don't you think that's odd, because presumably there is a fixed labour+materials cost for the connectors, and a per-meter cost for the cable itself? No... The USB specification requires a specific wire resistance, which means longer wires must also be thicker (more copper) to meet that spec. Lately, very cost sensitive USB wires have moved to aluminium conductors.

There is talk of electric cars with 800 volt (vs 400 volt) battery systems... The main reason to switch is to reduce the cost of copper wires and motor coils.
I did. I deleted my LinkedIn account. Too much spam. My personal information was constantly being shared despite telling LinkedIn I didn't want them to. I still get a few emails per week where they shared my email address with recruiters. I'd rather not work with recruiters anymore at all. In the future the best opportunity will be from my website or direct contact.
