Is it really a circular relationship if the starting premise is "people use it because it's good"?
Stackoverflow has gone down a couple times in the past few weeks, most recently it took them a couple of hours to even acknowledge the outage.
I'm faster with one thumb on t9 than two thumbs on a touchscreen and I don't need my eyes except to proofread. Those phones with the transforming screens changing from smooth to textured.
How would that help the rental market? Wouldn't landlords just pass on the price increase to renters?
Fully agreed. No matter how "clean code", the next person or team is immediately going to label it "legacy" and complain endlessly about all the choices made by the original author(s).
>A zoning rule that requires home owners to live in the owned home.

This would reduce the housing stock.

The way capitalism works is that some people have excess capital, and they invest it. Housing is one such investment. People don't need multiple houses to live in, so multi-property owners rent out their investments, which is great because there are many people that can only afford renting, not buying.
I love driving a Tesla with no buttons. I hate buttons. The two multipurpose buttons on the steering wheel are enough for me. I don’t even like having a HUD. Just useless information in front of my face. Just give me a big touch screen and I’m happy.
This is only true if you ignore payroll tax, social security, gas tax, tolls, and other highly regressive taxes. Where is your 10/80 stat coming from? https://itep.org/who-pays-taxes-in-america-in-2020/ paints a very different picture: the top 20% of earners pay 75% of income tax while making around 75% of the income.
> So now i know whom to blame for the fact that the camera app crashes 90% of the times before I manage to take a photo.

Heh, so every so often, I read an L5 or Pinephone review and they say "I had some weird problem with MMS and it never worked". Naturally, since none of my apps have any tracking with them, I have no idea what happened or what is wrong. Thus, I reach out to the author to file a bug or send me logs. If they respond, they go "sure, I will get around to it", but I have yet to have it happen.

I tell that story because I wonder if you ever reached out to Martjin or any of the developers. It may be the first time they have ever seen the crash. You may have found an interesting corner case that they can fix for you.
> There's the PinePhone and Librem 5

Just an FYI to anyone reading this:

Purism is actively making it difficult for its customers to receive a refund. Many of those customers have been waiting years for their phones.

Here's just one example I found scrolling through a list of complaints on the purism subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments/syoydj/librem_5_ref...

That's a rare case because the user reports receiving a refund (only after a year and filing a complaint with their AG). There are many more complaints of users being told they have to wait until an unspecified shipping date to get a refund.

It is not ethical for a company to attempt to draw out or flat out refuse refunds to users who have been waiting years for a product. And while you are certainly free to hack away on their hardware, until/unless their business practices change you ought to be explicitly discouraging users from (attempting) to purchase a phone (or really, anything) from Purism.
That is one reason, but there are many.

* You get to option the car with exactly the features/colors you want.

* People will pay a premium for something brand new.

* Financing for used cars usually carries a slightly higher interest rate.

* The actual cost at the dealership can vary significantly depending on the make/model/dealership
This argument also just assumes, 'anyone can sit down and use excel'. Which is not true, excel has a learning curve like anything else, most people learn 'just enough' to do their job, maybe there is a guy in their office that knows a little bit more and they can learn from them. But excel proficiency acquisition is very similar to a programming proficiency acquisition, maybe the track runs out faster (at some point you reach real diminishing returns and limits to a spreadsheet's capabilities but I've seen some insane shit written in excel, raytracers for instance, but no-one who has done that thinks it's a good idea.)
The biggest problem with higher end printers are on the long tail. I have a very nice Samsung laser printer. Networked, has duplex printing, fast, 3000 page toner and 9000 page imager with all replaceable rollers and everything.

The thing is, it was built jointly with Xerox, and Samsung sold the division to HP. It's almost 10 years old, and can easily live for a decade more, but finding toners and imaging units become harder and harder.

If these kind pf printers take off with much longer lives (and HP claims 50K pages with a single drum), the companies can support all their fleets with a single sack, indefinitely (in theory). Since there is less electronics, precious metals and plastics to produce and ship, it'll be also cheaper.

I don't want to change devices because they are old. I want to use them as long as they run, and with global warming and pollution, everybody is moving to less-waste methods.

I also run a HP 4515 "Web printer". All web services are deprecated, but it has mDNS, and everything can print wirelessly with no drivers. HP app enables me to print my photos after cropping them or scan directly to my phone. Otherwise it behaves like an old USB MFP which works with all desktop apps pat.

Addenda: The unit is not used frequently, so I change toners really rarely now. Because of that, I want to stick with OEM refills as far as I can go. Knowing a little about inks and toners, their quality shows them on the long run. So, I don't trust an aftermarket toner to print archival documents. Same for the inkjet.

Okay, I'll try to explain. Let's say you have 10 armadas with nuclear weapons and shit. Cool stuff and you do have power, at least on paper.

Now country A is speaking French, they are trading with country B; and they are importing their shit from France. They use the Swiss banking System. And they rely on German for cars. Most importantly, if you ask them for passage they say "No". They don't seem keen to please you despite your military superiority. Worse, Country "C" just straight out hate you and will undermine your companies and efforts. They also don't seem to be afraid and willing to go on a losing war with you.

See?

The US had military power coming from WW2. But they didn't have the equivalent financial or political power. Other countries did. They have been working on establishing puppets all over the place with varying success. But it's not as easy as having the military; and some military interventions went really badly.

Correct, that's why you use the large dataset available to you -- tons of runtime data from production.
It's the "PinePower – 120W Desktop Power Supply – EU version" and I'm using that same recommended red cable on the PD65W port on the right side of the front plate.

Here's a similar report by someone else: https://www.reddit.com/r/PINE64official/comments/qq7wv8/pine...

I've seen a few others.

Given the complexities of USB PD, it could also be on the side of the iron and then down to the version of IronOS. The other reporter mentions it works fine with other chargers, but that doesn't speak to correctness/compliance. I did not investigate much since my bench PSU is right below the PinePower on my workbench :)

I will say it generally works nicely with the little USB-C-equipped power delivery breakout boards I use in projects, or MCU boards I've tried. I also park my phone on it a lot. So I am getting use out of it.

Love you complimenting my compliment! Come work for me!
Your link shows that AR is a subaccount of Assets and AP is a subaccount of Liabilities, so credits to each have the opposite effect with respect to a balance sheet. GP has a different understanding of the "polarity" of debits and credits, but if anything this seems to support rather than undermine proposition "A" above?

In my not so extensive Clojure experience, there's almost nothing you need to know about JVM to do real things with Clojure. If you're building something big/complex enough that you need to know something about the JVM, then you probably already discovered what you needed along the way.

Basic Java interop is pretty simple (and concise!). But unless you're specifically needing a Java library, you won't even do this much. You _can_, but it tends to be more for performance optimization in my experience.

In other words, don't be scared of JVM. I would say it's kind of like Elixir/Erlang. You can do real things with Elixir without knowing hardly anything about Erlang. Of course, later on you can do more awesome things if you know how and when to leverage the Erlang VM. Same probably goes for Clojure/JVM.
Thanks. All the good stuff is always in the supplemental.
Fatal Accident: How Is BMW Misleading Us with Autonomous Driving?
I do prefer touchscreens although I wish design philosophies would shift away from tiny buttons to bigger ones, also I really wish Tesla etc. would offer haptic feedback on their touchscreens.

If the deployment environment is too complex for the developers to manage and understand, it's too complex to accept as an option in the first place.

As Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus cars famously said, "Simplify, and add lightness." That means brutal intolerance of obesity anywhere in the system.
I’ve been car free my entire adult life, I’ve also been broke my entire adult life too. I’ve been fortunate enough to live in places with good cycling infrastructure and public transit; I know that isn’t the case in most places.

That said, I wouldn’t attribute my lack of social mobility to my decision to not own a car/lack of money to own a car.

Automobile financing can absolutely be predatory to low income workers and to a degree it might prohibit some mobility when a large portion of income goes to maintaining a vehicle just to maintain an income. Maybe there should be regulation on predatory financing?

Someone making $20k a year is going to be poor regardless if they own a car or not. Economic mobility comes from having marketable skills that provide value to others and the ability to acquire those skills. A college education is not particularly accessible to low-income folks that need to also work to pay rent and food.
I'll have to take a look and see if my JetDirect 300X has new firmware.

EDIT: Nope, it's a Javapocalypse for that particular device.
Thanks, that makes sense--maybe operate 16 in parallel? Logic (human) still probably wouldn't stop me from trying if I had one laying around--what the chip would do outside of the design discipline, that is. :)
When high-status individuals get away with well-documented crimes with zero or minimal consequences while low-status individuals are taken to the cleaners by zealous prosecutors eager to pump their conviction rates, the public learns that all men are not equal before the law and that corruption is acceptable to the people that matter.

This is well-understood and I’m not breaking any new ground here by saying so.

What I am saying that is perhaps offensive or provocative is that this happens in the USA.
During beginning of COVID I drove a Tacoma off the lot for ~29k out the door and at the end of COVID I had several offers to buy it from me used with over 10k miles on it for anywhere from $30-31.5k. At that time you could still buy it new for ~29-30k.

In fact the only reason why I bought new in the first place was because even a 10 year old tacoma is worth the better part of a new one. Guess it depends on your market but the premium for new looks pretty tiny or negative to me.
Ctrl-v was SIGINT long before it was a shortcut for paste (first added in Windows 3.1). Although it can be switched now, it hasn't always been so. Of all the things that desktops (I'm not going to say Linux, as it isn't a Linux issue as it affect every system that uses KDE/GNOME and the like) designed to run on top of *nix like systems that were copied from Windows, this one really boggles my mind.
I'd say so, but I think that should be a user-tailoring thing, one thing that Snow Crash helpfully defined; where weak, underpowered terminals see a worse looking version of the world.
This is fantastic. I never realized how much I wanted this. Thank you for opening my eyes.

Now we need to port to Obsidian.md! haha.
They tap a few times and everything automatically glides into place...

Every car I've owned in the last 10 years has had this feature, except it's tied to the key fob, so there's no tapping beyond unlocking the door. If they truly have to tap a few times just to get an electric seat into their saved position, then Tesla screwed that up (but I'm pretty sure Tesla ties those settings to the owner's smartphone/key).
It's great to an extent but it seems obvious we passed that threshold during the pandemic. Now the combination of NIMBYISM and corporate landlords is creating insane distortions in particular locales. They are turning potential home owners into renters.
You're right, there are medical expenses so huge that even big discounts won't meaningfully help avoid bankruptcy. But let's not only consider worst case scenarios, let's also consider more common scenarios:

- A non-complex surgery that retails for $20k and is discounted to $5k (hopefully on a payment plan).
- A specialist consultation that retails for $1000 and is discounted to $250.
- An urgent care visit that retails for $400 and is discounted to $100.

There are 30 million Americans who don't have health insurance [1] largely because it costs $541/mo on average [2]. Aren't these people well served by a "best price" network at $10/mo?

I’m sure there are rough edges right now, but I’m complete convinced that even if the api isn’t there yet, this use case will win out and we will see it happen.

> In effect, if I wanted to drop a URL in this comment, the petname model requires that I use the UUID.

Yes... or, not at all, depending on how you want to look at it. To use their phone book example, if I want to call my dad, I look up "dad", and I call him. I don't use his phone number (although obviously down in the internals of my phone it's going to use his phone number).

If you had a local mapping for a web site saved as "coolsite", you might post a link here on HN as "web://coolsite". Your browser would take care of translating that into a UUID under the covers, so the actual post would contain the UUID. When I read the post, though, I would probably see the link as "web://@pfraze => coolsite" (obviously your browser would need to post some metadata for that to happen - similar to how you can include a name with an email address) or if I already have the site in my local mapping I might see it as "web://thatawesomesite", or whatever name I'd chosen. Or perhaps my browser would go to something like DNS to reverse lookup the UUID.
Ask how the US Navy thought touchscreens were a good idea for steering warships? Sometimes people don't think decisions through and just got with the bling and institutional momentum makes it hard to change.

Mercedes old layout way great and a good example of a well thought out analog interface.
I didn't even want to go into pumping notifications, but my mind also went there.
That's precisely my point. By making Y Combinator the target of the lawsuits, you would deprive the actual accused person of the ability to defend themselves when Y Combinator inevitably capitulates. I can mount a legal defense against a defamation lawsuit; I can't mount a legal defense against Y Combinator deleting my comments because they don't feel like going to court on my behalf.
It may be not true right now amid difficulty in finding labour and materials. Much like cars, the value of a used home is proportional to the cost of building a new home. When new homes are difficult to acquire, cost of used homes go up. Used cars have also increased in value lately for the same reason. This is not typical, however. These are normally depreciating assets.

Under usual market conditions, houses are headed to being on the older side and reaching the end of their effective lifetime, leaving little value left in the structure. You can renovate a home to bring it back to new-like condition, which restores value to the structure, but that cost must be maintained in the equation.

on the other side, I'm not beholden to work at less than what I could potentially make just so some blue collar worker can have a car.
Drinking same as before (1.5l-3l at any given day). Also got some different multivitamins, but I doubt that they changed anything.

There are some mouse studies that nmn/nr improve alt/ast level, but it not really clear is it just enzyme level normalization or does it actually repair anything. So i am not sure at this point of time is it improvement or "improvement"

Edit. in case by drinking it was implied alcohol and not water, no. just some wine here and there. no big changes
That's was done by some, experimented on scale by very few and... well... it prove to be not really feasible: boats are expensive, far more than homes. All the efforts to made cheap and large-enough house-boat led to crappy stuff who do not last much. You need anyway much more raw materials and maintenance, most water is salty and salt corrode anything, lakes are too few and might make unpleasant drought issues and unpleasant waves... Insulation is an important issue, so energy consumption is. You can't even have good p.v. just because of limited AND constantly moving surface (your inverters suffer much a constantly crazy p.v. input).

You need fresh water and the cheap way to get is is from land, so you need land infra anyway, you also need food and you can't produce it locally, yes you can fish, but you do not live well ONLY on fish and some algae... Beside that logistics is a nightmare.

Long story short: FEW can live, perhaps even very well for some of them, on boats, but only if most others do not. That's an important issue too many forget even when they speak about Green New Deal: yes, we live in homes. We might WFH. BUT we also need factories, hospitals, schools, they are mandatory to live well and they need to be counted in the game: we need to sustain them as well. We need workers and they need a life as well. That's not much "housing problem" but is tied because we need a home to live BUT we also need to be physically nearby something else to do so as well. The dream of an autonomous home is not much different than the dream of an autonomous house-boat or starship or house-truck, house-airplane etc we can made "relatively autonomous" homes, tucks, ships, airplanes, ... where relatively means "you are free to live in in comfort FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME until something breaks, for instance, and such "things" can exists for you just because there is a complex industrial and social system behind. We still miss the 3D printer able to print itself...

That's the real issue... We are able to reproduce ourselves only with our body (well, if we can keep alive in nature) but we can't do the same for anything we build...

I've got a 2017 Miata with absolutely no screens at all, which I love. There's a law now requiring all cars to have backup monitors, so I plan on keeping this car for another 30 years.
I also like statically typed everything. But I have to admit, some of the more adventurous stuff people do with JavaScript (that just works because it is dynamically typed) is pretty ergonomic. Even with TypeScript it is often next to impossible to make it strongly typed.

I guess Ruby or even Ruby on Rails is very similar, with the ability to monkey-patch just about everything.

Some things are just better (left) dynamically typed.
Can confirm, drive a Tesla and don’t need any extra buttons the screen is fine thanks.
How is it harmful?

> A program is whatever the human beings who maintain that program operate against

This does neither invalidate the statement that "Program is not a text", nor that "[it is] a model".

> And for the moment that's source code.

How is wanting to change that harmful? Source code can have flaws like ambiguity (see C++'s need for typename).
Deeming a call for improvement on the existing representation of a program harmful is a fine way to stop any progress at all.
We would still be putting in raw numbers into memory with that attitude.

On another note: I think what matters is what the computer actually does. Whatever I, as a human, read and interpret has no meaning at all if the computer decides to "read and interpret" it differently. And the only limit with representing what the computer actually does should be your imagination.
Can you really classify this as code? It's just a series of statements, no conditionals or variables.

Though to be fair, when I saw no-code, I was expecting drag-and-drop form elements.
Stone is now a 'folk' measure. People still think in them and use them, but all 'official' uses (health records, for example) are kilograms.

There are still a handful of official uses of imperial. Miles for driving, as you say, pints for draught beer etc. in pubs, miles and chains for railway distances, maybe a few others. More cases where the labels but not the size have changed, like 568g jars of jam.
