After 3D printing for years I started teaching myself how to use FreeCAD. It’s not the most newbie-friendly software but being able to design your own parts is incredibly powerful. I design and print parts for the most mundane tasks.

These days I find designing a part relaxing, similar to the feeling of writing code for a personal project.

Apparently Fusion 360 is also free for hobbyists, I’m guessing that it’s a bit easier to learn than FreeCAD.

(I realize that designing your own parts isn’t practical for most folks but I think HN is a good audience for this.)
You don't need to go as far as govt. conspiring for telcos to be insecure (note: I'm not challenging that).

Your average telco:

1 - Is just a commodity dumb pipe with a shitty margin and no honest way of getting more money from customers.

2 - Outsources almost all engineering work to Nokia, Huawei, Cisco, etc...and smaller contractors.

A consequence of (2) is that most have no strong engineering or long term thinking culture. I can guarantee you most telcos around the world don`t have basic security shit like having a password manager for router secrets solved correctly.

It's better to decently know 25 technologies, than being the world-class expert in the Spring Framework and nothing else.

Software engineering gets more complex and branches off every single day. The more things you know, the better, because it's not how deep your knowledge is, but how quickly you can get up to speed with something which you didn't know existed until today.

Ability to learn >>>> specialisation. So get good at learning by learning something new every single day.

Laikad: Faster position for navigation and a higher accuracy for driving
While that might be true prices are still above MSRP from 2 years ago while distributors have full warehouses and arent budging.
I think for most people in Europe it's a matter of cost. Manual cars are cheaper to buy, so that's what people get. When you look at the high-end segment you find mostly automatics. And everyone I know who tried an EV raves about the smooth driving experience, and loves that there's no clutch.

> you have tired and jaded people without a fun childhood

Man this hits really hard because I spent my first 20 years growing up in China... Good thing is that now I'm in a much less authoritarian place with a job that has decent work-life balance.

If you mean higher annual peaks, then it's probably easier to say that, because that's exactly what has been motivating the early solar deployments and the early battery deployments.

The very high summer peaks correlate well with solar (in many places) and so shaving that peak saves you more than you were spending on solar, even before the price plummeted. Same with batteries replacing expensive gas peaker plants.

Overall demand is predicted to rise a little with electrification, but demand was falling in many places anyway, so between that and the tech above for shaving peaks, it's not really a problem.

Note it's a common thing for "pro-fossil fuel" advocates to show "peaks" without enough context. Usually what looks like a peak on a daily basis is in fact a drop in the bucket compared with the yearly peak.

The famous 'duck curve' is a good example of this, where solar and wind reduced the daily and yearly peak, and then the new lower peak in spring/autumn was pointed at as a "problem".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_curve

> One misconception related to the duck curve is that solar photovoltaic power does not help supply peak demand and therefore cannot replace other power plants. In California, solar output is low at 7 pm when daily demand usually peaks.[20] This fact leads some to believe that solar power cannot reduce the need for other power plants, as they will still be needed at 7 pm when solar power output is low. However, California's annual demand peaks usually occur around 3 pm to 5 pm,[21] when solar power output is still substantial.[20] The reason that California's annual peak tends to be earlier than the daily peak is that California's annual peak usually occurs on hot days with large air conditioning loads, which tend to run more during midday.[22] As a result, solar power does in fact help supply peak demand and therefore can substitute for other sources of power.

Yah the type level programming in Rust really is limited to traits which provide little compile time functionality. It's pretty straight jacketed which is nice in some ways as you wont have un-anticipated interactions with user types. On the downside that limits un-anticipated usage of libraries or types.

Even macro_rules! aren't as capable as modern C++ templates with types. I am let down with how lacking Rust is when doing compile time type based programming. There's no CTTI or RTTI in Rust. The procedural macros don't have access to type information, just syntax. The constexpr equivalents are so limited, etc.
Exactly. The technocrats thought they'd be clever, and they basically outlawed reasonably sized cars for very small marginal efficiency gains. People bought light truck instead. People don't want to drive around in dinky death traps.

The CAFE standards for cars are too restrictive. The fleet averages look great, but the percentage of cars as vehicles on the road is low. Cars such as station wagons don't exist any more - the only option is to go larger and get an SUV.

The current crop of technocrats thinks that regulation is like violence. If you don't get the result you want, then add more regulation. Still don't get the result you want, add more regulation. They never think about offering compelling products that people want to buy at a decent price point.

This is not inherent to the internet. It's perfectly reasonable to expect an adult to convey their emotion appropriately over text. It's also perfectly reasonable to expect an adult to not be an asshole or a jerk on their first message somewhere, especially in a public forum.

Yes, it’s disappointing they didn’t try to find actual photos taken on the devices, but understandable for copyright reasons I guess?

It includes a photo taken on the 7650 by the author back in 2002. The lack of focus, poor exposure and very shallow dynamic range are typical of the plastic lenses and tiny sensors of the era.

> I switched to Caddy because I just got so sick of the constant pain of certificates. Caddy does certificates automatically

That may be fine if you only use those certificates for port 443 but it falters where certificates are used for the remaining 65533 ports. Instead of leaving certificate request and renewal to individual tools I prefer to centralise it in one spot - a small container or VM is sufficient - which deals out ready-to-run certificates to those systems which need them. When dealt with this way nginx actually has no problems whatsoever with certificates, all it takes is those three (or more depending on your protocol needs) lines in the config file:

listen 443 ssl http2;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/site.example.org/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/site.example.org/privkey.pem;

The /etc/letsencrypt/live tree gets pushed to the relevant machines by the certificate handling container/VM with certificate files in the form and shape needed by whatever program is to use them.

So, in short, the Caddy approach may be fine for those who only run web things but it 'fails' (as in 'adds additional complications') for those who venture beyond port 443.

Well, some, like the number of satellites are mostly an economic question. How much satellite is a given user willing to pay for?

Others, like objects blocking the antenna's view of the sky are more inherent.

Starlink is mostly not likely to be a great option for most people if they have decent terrestrial broadband options.
>> “I needed people to communicate clearly and with volume why I should change some opinions.”

This is not how real world works. People rarely intentionally communicate unclearly — or fail to add the “volume” they feel is necessary.

Only aspects that are in your control are: how you allow people to communicate with you - and what you do with what they share.

- Problem with how is that the more constraints you add, less likely they are to communicate; you’re basically increasing cost for them to reduce the cost for you.

- Easiest way to increase the efficiency of what you do with the information is to have another set of eyes helping process the information; in doing so, you’re delegating control and adding overhead — but gaining a predictable interface to filter less predictable information.

Communicating information takes energy, and there’s only so much efficiency that’s reasonable to expect, especially when dealing with random people via systems you do not fully control.
I bet split finances is a risk factor leading toward a divorce though. This is probably a higher risk factor if your incomes significantly diverge. If one spouse is making 2.5x the other one and they’re splitting their budget (if they budget… lack of one is probably another risk factor) like college roommates that screams “problem” to me. One spouse is basically living a whole different life. It just isn’t going to work most of the time.

Race is a social construct, news at 11.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_whiteness_in_th... - many groups that used to be called non-white, are now called white.

You are not putting enough focus on the "American" in the title. The software makes them "sound American", and sound like a specific group of Americans. It doesn't make them "sound white" and sound like a specific group of whites. The concept of whites has no meaning outside of a particular society's definition of it (in this case the US).

And yes, if you're born in the US and grew up there your accent will be closer to your school/general society than your parents, in my experience. If the school isn't high percentage Indian, then you will "sound white [American]".

To me a manual is all about engine braking. You just have to use the brake pedal less. I haven't driven an electric vehicle before, but I imagine they could deliver a similar experience if the regeneration was suitably programmed? Can an EV driver comment on whether they offer a similar engine braking experience to a manual?
One of the tragedies of the popularity of Open Source is that companies have become used to not paying for software dependencies. Back in the 90s when I got started it was much more common. In fact companies liked paying because that contract usually came with real life support from the vendor, and that was seen as peace of mind.
If the upstream project does not want to merge your fix, but it's an obvious improvement and a non-controversial patch, then one option is to have packagers carry the patch instead. For example in Nixpkgs, it is quite easy to patch an upstream project. If you then want to step in and keep the patch rebased, that's great. If you throw it over the fence and later the patch starts to conflict, then the packagers would likely remove it. It shouldn't be the first thing you try, but it can be a valid alternative with unworkable upstreams.

Rolling coal on cyclists, and proudly posting videos of it on youtube, and plowing trucks through the bicyclists, and writing articles portraying the perpetrators as heroes, is a hell of a lot worse than the common everyday "aggression" that American cyclists experience.

They're absolutely not equivalent.

Can you link to hundreds videos of left wingers with Biden bumper stickers rolling coal on anti-environmentalists, smashing their scooters and pickup trucks with Priuses, Biden supporters murdering right wing protesters with their cars just like a Nazi Trump supporter murdered Heather Heyer, and articles glorifying those attackers as left wing "heroes" and "man of the year"?

Or are you just trying to make another tired and dishonest false equivalence to justify and carry the water for right wing violence and aggression that is no way reflected on "both sides"?

And rolling coal is only a drop in the bucket of the mainstream right wing violence that's happening today. I can't recall anyone on the left wing rioting and breaking into the capitol, hanging a noose to murder the vice president, proudly marching and waving Confederate flags and flagpoles with spear tips, vandalizing and defecating through the halls of the Capitol, or shooting a nail gun at FBI agents as revenge for Mar-a-Lago then getting killed in a shootout with automatic weapons by the FBI. (Or do you agree with Trump that was a false flag operation? What's your evidence?)

Did I simply miss all those news stories about left wingers rolling coal and executing insurrections and attacking the FBI, just because of the left-wing media bubble I live in, and if so, can you please provide a link to them to prove that "you still see plenty of it on the left"?

Or are you just ignoring the whole point and moving the goalposts a few football field lengths to make a false equivalence?

> A debug build of Rust code is often like 40x slower or so than a release build.

Hmm ok, yeah. C++ with heavy stdlib (or generally: template) usage has the same problem (although in my experience it's more like 10..20x slower), but OTH C's debug and release build performance is usually much closer. I guess it's a side effect of generics that they heavily rely on the compiler optimization passes to turn the resulting 'generic mess' into something closer to what a human would write (e.g. remove all the redundant and dead code resulting from 'template resolution').
This is a really interesting comment for me. I’m a mechanical/aerospace engineer, I size motors by their stall torque all the time, I’ve owned/driven many manual cars over the last 25 years, I’ve done a few clutch jobs in cars, including upgrading a sports car (so I learned about and experienced some of the parameters that make a performant clutch perform). I’ve even had to replace a magnetic clutch on an industrial lathe when I did an automation upgrade on it and it exposed the fact that the clutch was worn beyond its spec - before it was manually operated and the operators just compensated for the wear over time although I forget how. Yet I’ve never put 2+2 together and thought about the torque in a car when starting out and how that relates to how easy/hard it is to stall a particular car.
It depends on skin color. Rabiblancos like Raphael Cruz (Ted Cruz) and Marco Rubio come across as white in both appearance and accent. In the U.S. those who speak Spanish who are darker skinned would be referred to as “Mexican” even though millions of them have roots in Central and South America. In the past we pretty much referred to anyone who speaks Spanish as Spanish. This why it’s a bit complicated when a person who speaks Spanish is actually from Spain. Such a person who has a light skin tone should be considered white but might be called Mexican.

I hardly ever use the break on my Tesla. You just take your foot off and it goes to the speed you want.
