I generally like my Tesla and I have the FSD beta program but given how often I need to manually take control of the car I don't see how they can justify $12,000+... even if it worked perfectly, it seems excessive for something that is just marginally more useful than adaptive cruise control on cheaper cars.

> Musk did not provide guidance as to how much the price will increase, but he did say it is currently “ridiculously cheap.”

It may indeed be cheap compared to the R&D cost but compared to how much people are willing to pay just to not have to turn the steering wheel? That I'm not sure of.
I expect that most vendors carry downstream kernel patches with an approved algorithm, so that the kernel can still be used as an entropy source.

It's implemented but off by default; there's a `dom.payments.request.enabled` feature flag, but it doesn't make the Stripe demo work.
Yeah, I agree. I will love PWA support on Firefox desktop.

One recent example, I pay for Spotify, but recently I started to pay for YouTube Premium to get rid of ads in the native mobile app, and it comes with YouTube Music.

I try YouTube Music and seems fine, was thinking to ditch Spotify and save that money, but YT Music do not have a desktop app like Spotify, on desktop is just trough https://music.youtube.com and has PWA features like "install", notifications and stuff.

I'm used to have that Spotify icon on my desktop and open the app, and being a Firefox user, with YT Music I can't have that experience, I can add a shortcut to my desktop, but it opens as a tab with all my other stuff opened. I don't like it. I guess I will stick with Spotify because of that.

In Chrome desktop, which supports PWA, you can install music.youtube.com, will add a desktop icon, opens in a individual window without tab/address bar etc. Is awesome. But is Chrome.

I'm considering use YT Music with Ungoogled Chromium to get the PWA features.

A good indicator of a good middle manager is if they realize this or not. Middle managers that are always walking on eggshells are the worst, and they just pass all that anxiety downward. Good ones can take those tactics in stride and shield their employees. By extension, a good company will allow those managers to exist, but bad ones will weed out any resistance, only leaving the eggshell walkers.

PHP is still very much in demand and used widely so I wouldn't call it crap. On a surface level it has shortcomings but most of these are non-issue for most of its use base.

Lot of the points you described seem unrelated to PHP but just incomplete views based on your own premature judgements because you dislike PHP.

Well logisim is dead, but evolution is a fork and then there's Digital https://github.com/hneemann/Digital which is I think a reimplementation of Logism's concepts?

I also hand designed a custom 16 bit CPU in logisim, because I was struggling to understand Nand2Tetris's HDL as well as I liked, and also because I stopped following the curriculum to go my own way.
Logisim has a few hang ups, starting with a rather low upper bound on clock speed, completely single threaded simulation, and no process for PLL or similar clock multiplying strategies so if you want to do internal processor management or microcode based implementations, you will be stuck with an even lower fraction of that clock speed. The UI is slightly clunky by modern standards, debugging complicated circuits is less than fun, and the file format is less than great if you want to do anything more than no version control and only touching it with logisim

"always intrinsically redundant" can be "always redundant".

"see it in print" can be "see it".

"Or more realistically in online posts" is also covered by "see it".

Or "drives me nuts" alone, because seeing it and where you see it are implied because "drives me nuts" requires you to have interacted with it somehow.

"the only legitimate usage" can be "the only use", since you wouldn't be writing about illegitimate uses.

"to put it into the mouth of a character who you want to sound pompous" can be "it sounds pompous".

"whatever usage we’re talking about" can be "the usage".

"there's no ambiguity in the shorter form" can be "there's no ambiguity".

"Just cut it out" can be "cut it out".

"don’t wedge it into your prose" can be "don't write it".

"you should probably be nicer to your friends" can be "don't".

"In normal conversation [...] in normal conversation" is redundant.

Let's see how that comes out:

> "'Aforementioned' drives me nuts. It sounds pompous; it is redundant. For example “The aforementioned usage is …” becomes “The usage is …” - there’s no ambiguity. Cut it out. If you wouldn’t say “aforementioned” in normal conversation then don’t write it. If you would, don't."
Think about a circle that has the center in the center of the car, and all wheels on the perimeter. Then each wheel has to turn along the tangent of the circle. That is the circle each wheel will go along when the vehicle is spinning in place. So it's less than 90 degrees. For example the left front wheel turns right, a bit less than 90 degrees.

> I would need a lot of evidence to convince me this is the case, particularly for Ruby and Python.

Both Django (python) and Rails (ruby) are great, popular and well supported environments with very "broad library support". This is a bizarre statement.
There's a fair amount to unpack here.

> I can see why this is frustrating, especially to someone with no C exposure. But bear in mind that the C underpinnings are part of the reason why these languages are popular in the first place -- like Perl used to be before Python.

I the idea GP is proposing here is that because C is so cumbersome, that is why scripting languages became prominent in the first place. I don't think this many would argue with this.

> In a very real sense, the entire concept of an interpreted language in the modern sense is such an ugly kludge

Here GP is implying that if C were nicer/better, or if some other low level language would have risen to prominence, the scripting langauges would not have been "necessary" or desirable in the same way.

> (much cleaner to "go all in" on the language, LISP machines being the notable predecessor) -- but do be aware of the tradeoff.

Here I assume GP is referring to the work in the 80s on Lisp machines where the idea was to build machines from the ground up more suited to a different paradigm. And thus obviating the need for a cumbersome language such as C.

I personally wonder if GP is familiar the "worse is better" essay?
A media-fueled social panic over unmarked graves
Python is a better candidate imho mostly because of the explosion in its use case in the past decade, especially due to data science/AI fields.

I have a hard time going to another language that requires appending semicolon at the end of each line, dealing with curly brackets, and requiring a bunch of middlelayer tooling.

I'm willing to bet that I can train someone without any coding experience in Python. It's built for readability and very accessible. Javascript? No way I would introduce them until they get some handle. PHP? Not unless I am trying to create a sweatshop.
Do you have empirical research / data supporting data driven companies being more successful? Genuine question - I'd be interested to see it but I notice a lack of data supporting the argument that being data driven is associated with success in this thread.

JS has grown a great many tools, libraries, and features, but as language semantics go it’s hard to say that primordial JS was seriously broken anywhere. Coercions, maybe. It’s not a language I can love, but it’s one I can accept.

PHP’s lack of coherent style and the persistent thrill of not knowing which horrible errors it’s willing to silently swallow and proceed, on the other hand, are (were?) much harder to tolerate.
I did a lot of reading on this particular subject. An opinion which I think is the most correct is that the war was driven mostly by knee jerk reactions and whatever faulty data there was, was never considered.

LBJ didn't want to "lose" Vietnam. LBJ remembered Joseph McCarthy who accused the Truman administration of losing China to communism.

JFK and Ngo Dinh Diem were murdered in 63, Gulf of Tonkin incident in 64, and full US armed intervention by 65. This was a rollercoaster ride that the US military didn't plan for and didn't want.

McNamara picked Westmoreland to lead the military effort. It was a disaster. Their lack of a coherent strategy was doomed from the start. The body counts and #bullets per enemy killed was akin to rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic. On top of their minds was the Korean War, when the US military operated at China's border and China intervened militarily. Hence, US military land operations was limited to South Vietnam. There were no plans to invade North Vietnam.

Nixon and Kissinger decided the end game was to breakup the USSR-China alliance. With China on the US' side, the USA no longer had a national interest in what happens to Vietnam. The US left Vietnam in 73 and the country was overrun two years later.
Ukraine can't but the West easily does. It's important to keep in mind that Russia's economy is the size of Italy's, and they have a population of 145 millions. Ukraine has 44 millions, NATO countries combined have 950 millions, most of which are highly developed industrial nations, so there's really no question that NATO can outproduce Russia many times over, if they choose to really ramp up the production and ship it to Ukraine.

It seems they are getting there, even the Germans are slowly giving up their hesitations, and it makes sense as well: anything Russia has to spend in Ukraine, they cannot spend in Poland and the Baltic States.

If you think things are dire now, search Spotify for 70's, 80's, and 90's songs about how the world was going to end. Maybe every crisis is a little worse than the last, but they aren't out of the blue transitions from an idyllic age. That's just a bunch of pastoralism from older people who have suppressed a bunch of memories (memories that still affect their behavior in various situations).

Worrying is a rite of passage. You don't steward something until you realize it needs stewardship, and that it's soon going to be your turn to contribute. That epiphany can be traumatizing.

bitcoin solves this.

In an age of the modern computer and internet, cash has to evolve. People deserve the right to privacy with their money.

I know a lot of people are anti BTC, even here on HN, and I get where people are coming from, but do you not also think that people deserve privacy?

"Only criminals use it"

I use/trade BTC all the time for legit reasons because most people I know also have BTC. I firmly and will always believe in peoples right to privacy.

INB4 "BTC is not private"

If used correctly, it is. SO rather than just stomp on BTC, why not help the cause?
There is a growing trend that could upset/cancel every one of these megatrends: nationalism.

Which is why I favor Python so much. You can literally do anything with it since it is in every field: finance, data science, AI, API, SSR and thanks to transpilers and efforts to bring python to the browser, frontend is now possible.

This is the sort of comment that keeps people from taking PHP seriously.
My point was that having something built into the system is very different than having a dependency stricken free for all that is outside of the system. For this reason, especially for the majority of Window's life, it was not just "another option", it was a "hey, this is built in" option.

As your link show, Windows has homogeneity, with good config options built into the frameworks. In those frameworks, those built in config options can't be consider just "another option". There's no real homogeneity in *nix, so the only options is misc files to put misc paths.
Yeah, that's pretty crazy. I'd need to know more about how the service works to consider signing up for it.
