I already do this organically. When friends tell me a season of X or Y is coming I pay for Netflix.

I imagine if enough people do this, companies will counter-act by making certain shows only available to loyal users. "This is a Platinum Plus show; you need at least platinum level 3 to watch this; watch 100 hours to level up!"
“=“ has been a great addition to F-strings. It allows you to reduce duplication for labeled output. For example:

count = 10
size = 1000032
area = 3.14159 * (32 ** 2)

print(f"{count=} {size=:,} {area=:,.2f}")

will output this

count=10 size=1,000,032 area=3,216.99

There are times throughout the year you can place the build order online. You still need to choose which dealer to have it go through. Last time I saw Ford.com available to build and order non-ev's was last December. I think the window that feature was available was about a month.
shapez is really great, I've been following the development of shapez 2 with great interest. I like shapez because it removes a lot of the grindiness in Factorio, resulting in a more relaxed experience. Shapez doesn't require you to do anything but build factories to process shapes - there's no real resource limitation. (Technically there are one or two mechanics, but once you have a sufficiently good blueprint factory you won't really be in situations where you don't have enough of something).

There's a great free demo online at https://shapez.io/, and since the game is open source, you can technically download and build it yourself to get the full version for free (it's 10 bucks, which is well worth not having to figure out one more JS build process in my free time)
Sub-standard is relative to a standard. If someone finds themselves to be sub-standard, maybe they should find a place with lower standards? That's exactly what Zuck is saying.

On one hand, I've worked with a guy once who, as far as I could tell, did about an hour of work per day (if that) and played fantasy baseball in his office most of the time, waiting to be PIPed and managed out for a really long time... I inherited his code and it was a patchwork of minimum effort hacky fixes with no care for quality (cause he wasn't going to maintain it, I guess?). I really don't care what his circumstances are, I don't want to work with people like that, I wish they could fire him much faster than they did, and I bet most people would agree.

On the other hand I've heard about FB in particular is that there are teams with lots of people working 12-hour days. I am not willing to do that; it would be dumb for me to join such a team, and kind of a dick move to stick around as a low performer (I heard it from a friend who tried to keep up then decided to quit).
Reported homicide rates will 100% correspond to real homicide rates, and they are much lower in Japan.

He is trying to run a very modern kernel which has PATA emulation support. I guess that a lot of older drivers are just not implemented. Also AFAIK a lot of distros only support i686 due to glibc being compiled with SSE support. I would start with an older distro and try to upgrade glibc and maybe the kernel.

That's been obvious for a very long time. It's why stuff like Stranger Things exists and is being milked. NF leadership have been playing that game for a long time now, they knew the time of reckoning would come; the question is whether they managed to build enough defences to resist the predicted storm and stay afloat in the long term.
Scoped threads are something that really showcases Rust's features around thread-safety, lifetimes, sharing and mutability. I'm glad it's finally back in the standard library!

I mean more JS. I'm sure types will be integrated into TS.

I really cannot see JS ever being supplanted. WebAssembly could change things but probably not.

The only gap I see in the market is for a high-level language that can also do low-level.

And then you have to think about syntax-alone innovations yet to come. I think we have all the syntax we need. Swift and Kotlin have some new stuff now and then. But pretty much everything people want are proposals in the works for JS.

So with no new syntax innovations, people will just go with JS/TS. And then you pretty much just need to implement a low-level target and you have your universal programming language.

> nice when all numbers are of type "Number" but there are lots of cases where you need far stricter control over that

The problem is these systems languages are not designed like this. They don't imagine you are not instantly hitting the metal. But huge amounts of code are just simple business logic that don't care about memory management. I just want my hot code path to run on the metal. But I don't want to rewrite in Rust and wear the compile times just for that.

> purest developers/comp sci's fundamentally know

These are the same guys that hop from fad to fad to stay intellectually stimulated. Ruby -> Scala / Haskell / OCaml -> Go -> Rust -> Zig -> Some new thing.

I've heard so many times that functional programming was essential, now a borrow checker is essential, when we got by without them just fine. Now Zig comes along and doesn't have a borrow checker and its still got buzz. Next is Vale with generational references and time-travel debugging. It's always some new shiny feature to chase. Call out web devs on their new ui frameworks, but backend devs have their own skeletons.

Compsci's are writing their very own new language as we speak.

Devs are constantly forced to go where the hype is to stay with the ecosystem. Rust is where it's at, so Rust it is. But it won't be forever.

I'm just a bit tired of wearing slow compile times for all these new languages that never get fixed before the next language comes along...without proper IDE support or debugger support.
Ah yes true. My point was really that any tool can generate complexity, it's all about the underlying problem you're trying to solve.

Interactive vs. Programmatic Shell Usage
"There is no "safe" level of lead exposure."

And...? Do you think there's no exposure anywhere? This line, at least the way it's being used in arguments here, might as well be religion - used as a one line ideology that doesn't add anything to the discussion and ignores the realities.

How is 1/4 pound of dirt not that much? And remember, they would have to eat multiple times that much to actually absorb 100% of lead in that amount. If you're really that concerned, then you shouldn't be letting them eat any dirt due to other health concerns, like toxoplasmosis.
In Japan, there is a concept of Nemawashi, which is the building of consensus privately in advance of any public conversations to avoid the appearance of disagreement or uncertainty.

Well, it's a choice that we get to make by shaping our own work environments. The more senior we get, the more impact we have to shape the culture of our workplaces. In my experience technical contributors underestimate the amount of leverage they have to impact these kinds of cultural matters. We often think about the power we have to leave, but we don't use that power to change, or we assume that the organization wouldn't value our input without any attempt to validate that assumption. I have found it valuable in my own career to be more vocal about the kind of organization I want to be in, the kind of team dynamics and politics we choose to enable, etc. I wish I had done so sooner.

The intractability of the coordination problem at scale is the reason the original article is valuable. At scale, you do need management that focuses the majority of their time on the overall coordination of the work in order to protect the time of those doing the work. Because of that scale you can't involve everyone in every conversation. So you start needing to have conversations that abstract to a higher level, and which cross levels of leadership. Hence "How to present to executives" But even as a company grows, it can choose to maintain a culture of collaboration and transparency, even if the practices that enable them have to change to adapt to the larger scale.

That would be the case if "too close" were to be defined only by establishing consistent expectations to be shared by all drivers. There are also compelling safety reasons independent of driver expectations to follow at a greater distance.
> I think it's good the companies are even giving us a choice about ads.

That's the problem. Companies can do a thing, then people can criticize them for it. An almost 40% price increase is worthy of criticism.

People jump to defend it with "but you get a choice!" While ignoring that your choice is either: Pay the massive price hike OR get a substantially worse user experience. That's a pretty terrible "choice," and that too is deserving of critique.

Jumping to defend companies treating people this way is exactly WHY companies feel they can treat people this way. It is a destructive cycle. Soon we'll have micro-transactions in streaming and people will jump to defend the "choice" of that too.

Yeah, I just want/need something in the Civic/Corolla range. My ego is not attached to my vehicle. It's a conveyance for me and others.

Rarely, I would say I need a pickup to carry stuff, and that's pretty rare. Maybe once or twice a year at most. And would be serviced by something in the old Ford Ranger class of light truck. I know Ford is bringing back the Ranger, but I don't know if it's in the same class as the 90's/00s Ranger.

Yeah I failed to qualify that my comment comes from my context which is an expert in a field that has painstakingly pursued excellence for more than a decade, and I frequently am out maneuvered (politically) by people who make choices they do not own the consequences of[1]

[1]: for example I've warned my employer once that an implementation was brutally inefficient and will cost both opex and velocity, but they told me "what's your solution" to which I could only reply "give me a week to design it like you gave the principal engineer and I'll give you a better solution". They laughed and said they dont have a month. The choice has cost the business >$1M in excess PaaS fees and has had multiple subsequent major projects to attempt to remediate the costs (granted the opex costs have come down significantly since multiple rounds of refinement). But the point still stands -- I roughly knew a better path to not need 6+ months of refinement, and save >$1M in opex overspend, but they wouldn't spare the time and disparaged me for not being a team player.

When you know you know better it's best not to submit. Perhaps it's worth realizing it's a bad culture though.

I think we sort of ignore this as an industry because we still look at DE&I primarily through the lense of representation and proportions and not in terms of actual power being wielded for the benefit of an in-group at the expense of the out-group. You don't need to be an outright majority to wield political power like that. And it can easily go against industry wide trends in the context of a specific company too if cliques like this form.

> It's amazing how just pointing that out garners the sort of personal attacks that you leveled at me. Slowing down sounds like good advice!

Please show me the personal attack.

Here is what I wrote:

> No, "all of those metrics" on the many pages linked from the EPA page do not start at 1960. / Stop making false statements. Doing so hurts your credibility and wastes our time. / Try slowing down and reminding yourself of your preconceived biases. Double check what you are seeing. Look for things that don't confirm what you already believe.

I said you made a false statement. You did. I did not call you names; e.g. I did not call you a liar.

Claiming there is a personal attack when there is none is not acceptable. I can criticize your ideas -- that is fair game.

It is understandable to feel hurt when ideas you hold are criticized. You may consider these ideas to be part of your identity. But these are not personal attacks.

I respect that you have researched the climate change data. I likely would agree with some of your conclusions.
Sometimes people are different than you and enjoy different things and it doesn’t inherently mean they’re bad.

>reported that they had faced discrimination when trying to talk about matters of caste in the workplace

Your quote doesn't say that casteism is a rising problem. It only says some people allegedly got pushback for talking about matters of caste. It's possible they were talking about caste politics in India or whatever, and got reprimanded for bring up non-work related controversial issues.
It's an accessibility problem. GOV.uk is the official government website that contains key information that must be made available to every UK resident. If shaving off 32K of JavaScript makes the website easier to load for people with extremely bad hardware, then it's worth it.

Back in 2014, I bought a nook, returned it. I bought a kobo, returned it. I bought a Kindle voyage that I love to this day.

#1 reason: out of those three, Kindle is or was the only ebook vendor I could crack with DeDRM and actually own my books. With Kindle for PC 1.17, I can still pull down my books and import them to my Calibre library for safe keeping.

Can one DeDRM their Nook or Kobo files in 2022?

PS: Kobo typography was noticably worse than Kindle in 2014. Again, it may have changed.

PPS: I wish the symmetrical origami cover of the voyage was more used. I lay in bed and flip from side to side while reading. A book like cover or one that just is meant for vertical support is not sufficient for my use case.
When it's night and the wind don't blow, you use coal and gas as everyone else.

Since this thread is about Germany, and not everyone on HN reads threads in scope, it's worth pointing out that this is not universal.

In most of Texas, for example, the wind blows most fiercely — and regularly — at night. Solar power contributes to the grid during the day, and wind power picks up that generation loss when the sun goes down. I once saw a graph of it from a utility regulator published in a newspaper.

Not every geography is so lucky in this manner. But because this is the global internet, it's important to point out that solar and wind aren't exclusively daytime sources on most of the planet.

What Germany needs is a source of wind that works at night. I've read that Spain imports energy from North Africa. Perhaps a more robust link in that direction is the solution.
There are several power companies in Germany that are offering 100% green power after X years, in the sense that they're committing to constructing or buying new green power plants with a generating capacity at least as high as the amount sold X years ago.

The actual power from your outlet is going to be the same no matter which company you buy from, but it's still buying "green power" in a more meaningful way than a zero-sum relabeling.

There is a lot a poorly designed hardware which behaves this way. The trick is to wait 10 secs before turning it on again.
I've had the misfortune of participating in a large-isch LabVIEW project and it looks similar.

Vcs integration and merge were also a big pain so most of the development was done on a single computer in the lab by many people.

The hardware that runs the LabVIEW code is solid tho and once you wrestle LabVIEW into doing what you want it works well
The Wisdom of the Water Tower
> Disney+ is huge, and it got there so fast. It's absolutely dizzying to think how fast they are going to blow past Netflix with Disney+ alone.

Well. No surprise given how much buy-ups and mergers the regulators tolerated... Out of the list for popular franchises, Disney owns the top two (MCU/26 B$, Star Wars/10 B$) and has significant involvement in the third place (Spider-Man). Additionally, they own Avatar (which is the most profitable movie ever made), The Simpsons, Indiana Jones, the entire catalog of Pixar, the entire classic and re-made OG Disney IP and a ton of other stuff [1].

Of the really popular stuff, the only things Disney doesn't own are Harry Potter (which is a complicated dumpster fire not just given the tendency of JKR to set her own life work ablaze, but also IP-rights-wise [2]), the DC Universe (which hasn't managed to stay even close to competitive with MCU), Star Trek (which went off Netflix to Paramount+) and James Bond.

The future of entertainment is scary - Disney needs to be broken up, or the government needs to step in and mandate that copyright holders have to provide fair and equal streaming rights to everyone, similar to the music industry (which managed to get the hint on its own, and now there's more than healthy competition in the market with OG Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal and a boatload of smaller ones).

The bureaucracy to launch a project can be high. I think some of it is essential. A company really does need to ensure every project launch adheres to regulatory/branding/legal guidelines. We do have to adhere to a high a11y/i18n standard. A smaller company can just choose to ignore a bunch of these things.

The problem is when these requirements mean you have to hunt down a lawyer who can flip the bit and they're busy with other things for the next few weeks. Same goes for security reviewers. Another thing is the ambiguity for what exactly is required for a11y/i18n. These things can be improved.

I work in Google Cloud. After the main technical work is done, a feature launch requires probers, integration tests, metrics, alerts, dashboards, updating the gcloud CLI tool, updating client libraries in several libraries, writing internal support playbooks, writing external docs, writing an external business-side blog post. This can all be construed as bureaucracy since it's not the main feature itself. But we do need all of these things to provide a good customer experience. I've written the main code for a feature that took about 2-3 weeks and then spend 2-3 months doing the rest of these things.
