I drove an AT rental with a "manual" mode. The AT kept wanting to sit in high gears, which require a lot of torque at low RPMs, which ended up hitting this funny resonant spot in the car and cause an annoying rumble. I ended up running it in manual mode and lower gears.
No we don't. Clocks start at 0. what time is it when it's half an hour after midnight? 00:30.
Use cases may be low, but when you find "the one" it's just nothing short of epic. For me it was my Sim Rig... needed a 3d printer to make the carrier blocks for the actuators, which then triggered a whole rabbit hole of designing & building a (slightly over the top) simulator*

The amount of stuff I've printed with it, km's and km's of filament and the little beast still keeps squirting out molten plastic. Last time I looked at the stats, 91 days print time, 6355m of filament.

Hello from the Southside!
Usually, the story told here is South Korea copying Pakistan’s five year economic plan in the early 60s.

Also you should specify whether you mean West or East (presumably West) Pakistan’s population numbers. The western half had 51m people in 1960.

EIP-1559 is the Ethereum patch that introduced the fee burn in Aug 2021.

It's a bit complex, but basically speaking, the higher demand is for the network, the more expensive transactions become and the more ETH gets burned.

Did you account for the opportunity cost of your down payment? If you chose to continue to rent, you could have invested your $100k or whatever down payment in the stock market for ~7% a year.

On the other hand, you have to count the mortgage interest as a cost but not the mortgage principal repayment.
What will you need that much bandwidth for... in the future.

Today? You don't need 25gig. Even if you're in a house with all the latest technology and a half dozen users, you probably won't ever saturate that line unless everyone REALLY tried.

But tomorrow is a different story. Ethernet above 1gig is becoming more common in the consumer world. Not super popular, but its starting to take shape. Wifi 6E has a theoretical maximum of just shy of 10gig. Wifi 7 (not ratified) is looking to be around 40gig.

With work from home and, in general, the world going more digital - there is a lot more pushing around of files. Do you have an iPhone or Android? Everytime your phone is on the wifi its backing up your photos/videos (and other stuff). That alone can slow down most peoples internet connections. Does your computer do backups?

Also once your internet starts to hit about the 1gig mark, you can treat remote servers like we treat LAN today. Want to have a server but don't want to have it at home? That's ok when you've got 1+ gig internet. Of course, it'd be even nicer if that was even faster... in theory.

The only real perverse incentive I can think of is that one might deliberately make the build process extra complicated to encourage people to part with their $10. The game in question is by a solo indie dev afaik, so that seems a bit unlikely in this case.

I think "program build consultancy" is an overly cynical way to look at this particular situation. I was more than happy to pay the $10 to support the guy and not have to muck with an Electron build. /shrug
No, the culty feeling is this paragraph long explanation about how Rust is objectively good, paired with the downvotes I got from saying I feel like Rust is culty.

Pretty sure most experienced devs will say "use whatever works, there's some art out there written in erlang/JS/C++"

Case in point I think the most valid critique is that Rust is new and lacks a developed ecosystem. As an ML person myself it's not even useful for me to learn Rust unless I want to roll alot of my own stuff. So if your "experienced developers" are preaching about the best languages to promote, to learn as a hobby, etc.. they're not preaching about the best languages for prod unless it's for some specific application.

Also, fucking lmao, get over yourself, Rust isn't that hard to learn

And even if it were, being able to understand what is essentially wacky C++ doesn't mean you've "been in the industry awhile"
Some years ago, my father in law added an electric engine to an old manual Chrysler from the 70s I think. I drove it once and it used gears and clutch. It was a good experience except for the fact that the car was super old!

This could be true.

I know for a fact that at least some of our friends here in the US have gone to Korea to have the procedure done, not in the US, due to cost reasons. And obviously our friends still in Korea would have had it done in Korea.

That could also explain why I don't notice the prevalence of twins amongst our friends of other nationalities here.

Starlink is reducing your monthly service fee
I've just received a very pleasant surprise in email. Subscription in the UK was £89 per calendar month:

Effective 24/08/2022, Starlink is reducing your monthly service fee to £75.

The price reduction factors in your local market conditions and is meant to reflect parity in purchasing power across our customers.

No action is needed from you, the price reduction will be automatically reflected on invoices generated after 24/08/2022.

Thank you for being an early customer and for your continued support of Starlink!

This is not correct. The problems people have are (1) lack of transparency/audits, and (2) putting the money in high risk bets like commercial paper and crypto, essentially leveraging the entire crypto sector.

Confidence in Tether would skyrocket if they were audited and found to be solvent and had 100% treasury notes. Ihis "tools of the enemy" hyperbole is childish - they literally have "USD" in the ticker symbol.
I had to amend my comment to say "new", because you're completely right... the last Tacoma I test drove (automatic) had 290k on it, the transmission slipped during all gear changes, and they weren't taking a dime under $9k. I have no doubt they eventually found a buyer, too.

Same thing is happening in power tools and large appliances. Things used to work, I guess.
There's a trend happening in many countries where economical stagnation or downturn push young people and couples to wait for better days to engage in romantic relationships or build families.

You could shelve that as "society not providing enough incentives", but to me it looks like a more complex issue than what's covered by carrot/stick mechanisms.

Not all issues leading to forgoing procreating are that complex, but putting any of them as "women chose to xxxx" is I think only useful at a micro level, and kinda misses the reasons why they chose to do so, which are usually not in any individual's hand.
it's a good idea to call the 0th element of an array the zeroth element, else you encourage off-by-one errors. The size of the array, the "count", is that which your index must be less than.

I'm not saying it has to be this way and it can't start with 1, I'm saying what you are pointing out as a flaw is actually the mixing of systems.

in computer programming teams it's best to adopt a standard unambiguous language to communicate to one another so as not have to constantly say "do you mean...?"

I guess I do not know enough about South Korean fertility to make a credible claim, but if most of the fertility decline is due to birthing children at older ages, then I would file that under the same category as women gaining financial independence and ability to choose when to have kids.

Women basically saying in order for me to risk what I have to risk to have a child(ren), I need <x> security first. Which can manifest as working to save and achieve higher income levels instead of having kids.

But I suppose there could be a huge environmental or whatever biological factor causing reduced pregnancies. Marriage rates might help tease this out.

Learning to shift gears while on traffic and without letting the engine die is one of the hardest parts of learning how to drive (together with parking). Granted, I'm a lousy driver, but it's the same for most people I talk to: letting the engine die is the top reason for failing driving tests.

Perhaps it's just Brazilian cars being bad, but I doubt it.
My 2007 Mazda 3 has an anti rollback system! It doubles as a parking brake.
Sure, but it is possible to be Turing-complete. There may be further things a Turing machine can never do, but we want to do at least that much. If the type system is not “fully powerful” in this way it may be lacking in some useful aspect.
It will be interesting exercise to design a "manual gearbox" for an electric car so manual transmission drivers can have their enjoyment.
Run the numbers:

Assuming you need a legal staff of 20 with avg cost 500k per. So that’s 10 million per year. Double it for rent, SGA, etc. we’re at 20 million per year.

Offer a protection package at 10k per year, you need 2000 paying customers. Since all the lawyers are on staff, you can have them invalidating patents when not defending case. If you structure it like a mutual insurance company, you could return a portion of premium based on expenses once a war chest is amassed.

Is this something I could take to y-combinator?
I do not think more kids translates into less time. If anything it’s the opposite. If there’s many of them they’ll do stuff together and you are free.

Stuff like brushing teeth and bath take relatively little extra time, so does cooking for 4 instead of 1 kid.
They may all be there, but they may not work.

At one point, the old Geforce 6800 cards came in three varieties. The cheapest model had two disabled functional units. You could often unlock one successfully (6800XT to 6800), but both (6800XT to 6800GS) was prone to much higher instability and failure. Even if all the transistors worked, the rest of the board (power delivery, heatsinking) was often downgraded on cheap models.
So renters in Korea actually have to move a lot, and the awareness of this dynamic actually matters in practice, or you're just assuming that much because that's how America works?

Edit: Don't mean to come down hard, it's just that in the kinds of topics I often see people casually assume certain things are "obviously" important for starting families, which it turns out other first-world countries do without just fine.

It's the consistent inconsistencies that causes it to be less confusing. It would be really weird to go from someplace very orderly to another that is haphazard.
I don't see why the ability for a hobbyist with hobbyist equipment to assemble a very particular lens with a ton of caveats should have any impact at all on the prices of a full consumer product with a vast amount of benefits and features.

Which is not to say that lenses are not overpriced, but the fact that you can theoretically 3d print your own... anything (gun? Car parts? Doorknobs?) doesn't imply anything can or should happen to the price of a much more functionally complete product.
I believe you meant the longitude problem.
As soon as you hit 30-32 the rate of issues conceiving and issues with the baby grow exponentially.

How long have you been seeing this trend?

There’s a lot of experts who have been arguing that everything from pesticides to vaccines will slowly degrade our ability to produce [healthy] offspring. The general reasoning is fairly straight forward - if one thing damages your DNA or what have you, then it might be anywhere from 0 to 3 generations for issues to crop up.

There’s also social factors - fear, stress, isolation, etc will all impact willingness to reproduce (imo that’s not it).

Finally, there’s general stagnation. Ie if your not eating well, working in a field, etc you’re not going to be healthy.

Reality is probably a combination of everything, BUT women should also seriously research side effects of birth control. I have a sneaking suspicion birth control mediating hormones will have many long-term effects. I know women who were impacted by this.

I'm getting the feeling that you want a test of the internet connection or something like that by your standard of what a fair test is. I don't think that's what they're going for, but a more holistic "typical usecase" test. That said I haven't bothered to check the video for exactly how the test is setup maybe someone will comment with that info.
Don't forget that your input (mouse, keyboard) must travel to the other end before you can start receiving the output that's changed from it. The time from you performing an action to the point where you see that change represented (minus the time to do this locally on the gaming PC) is the actual latency.

It's still probably well within your acceptable tolerances, but worth keeping in mind.
> Is the author talking about the world or the US?

World = USA for something like 90% of Internet posts/videos.
> AFAIK the vast majority of vehicles sold in Europe are manual.

This was true up until a few years ago, but it's around 50/50 now for passenger cars. There is a definite regional split, with manuals still popular in southern Europe, but having rapidly declining market share in northern Europe. Part of that is that hybrid and electric cars have had more uptake in northern Europe and are almost always automatic (there are a handful of manual hybrids, but they're not common).

Automatics as a percentage of new passenger car sales in 2020 for a few European countries [1]:

EU27+UK: 50%
Sweden: 86%
Germany: 61%
UK: 56%
France: 48%
Greece: 34%
Spain: 32%
Italy: 28%

Thanks for bringing this up. I don't understand why people seem to automatically trust things just because they advertise as being more "private" than the alternatives. I guess none of us are immune to advertising tactics, but it's so important to remember that they have no obligation to be truthful and will lie every chance they get.

I am not claiming that DDG is bad or anything, I just don't like putting trust into something just because it says "you can totally trust me!".

Context: I’ve used Godot 3 and I have a fair bit of experience in several programming languages.

I think this is a terrible idea, even though understand why they would want to drop support for it. I personally prefer typing out the logic, but I’ve seen some of these “let’s make a video game without writing code” videos, and it makes me sad that they don’t think it’s worth focusing on. I think this is going to make budding game developers choose some other engine (where they will become more comfortable and they’ll mostly stick to).
To be honest, this sounds environmental in nature…

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is intentional. That said, all I have is the constant drum of “the world is over populated” by leaders around the world to back up my reasoning for potentially being intentional.

Plenty of non-intentional possibilities as well.

How to write a program whose input various information of the companies
Hi,
I want to write a program whose input is the names of the companies and when adding the name of each company, it will take various information from that company of different types,
1- TextBox (daily production rate),
2- CheckBox (select product features),
3- OptionButton (the gender of the company owner),
4- Date (Product delivery time, yy/mm/dd), ... in a form and store all that information in the profile of that company.

I just started programming. Of course, I have an average familiarity with Matlab, which I know is not suitable for writing this program.

What programming language should I use for this task so that I can design a beautiful appearance (GUI) for entering information and this information can be entered easily by the user?

Is there a pre-written program that is close to my goal so that I can improve it to suit my needs?

Thanks in advance.
