There's definitely a difference in transmissions. I learned stick on a generic crappy car, but I once drove a nicer, more expensive car with a manual, and it was quite pleasant. Shifting gears was so much smoother than what I was accustomed to.
how many thousands of HN comments does it take for folks to finally get that the ONLY way to have any kind of personal representation in any kind of "Google shutoff" is that you pay for your email/cal/drive/etc via G Suite/Workplace. that's it. that is the ONLY way you can have any kind of "in" if you get randomly shut off by Google. you are paying for support and yes you can call that support and get some kind of answers. so many HN'ers are sore because their free legacy G Suite got shut off or got restricted somehow -- sure i get it, that sucks. but you weren't paying for it. you'd never rely on free accounts for company-critical infrastructure, so why would you do the same for your personal-critical stuff? while i do VERY MUCH sympathize with those whose entire lives were upended by their @gmail.com account being shut off effectively meaning _their entire life_ no longer being available to them, the best chance anyone has of being able to deal with a "personal Google shutdown" is actually to be paying money to them for [an/some] account[s] within G Suite/Google Workpace/whatever.

pay a vendor some money, get some kind of support.

while i am not saying if the baby penis doctor photo guy had a G Suite domain his life would be rosy right now, i am saying i think his situation would be a lot better had he been able to actually contact a real support department, something his free @gmail.com account did not afford him.
Grey listing in Postfix does a similar thing, and works amazing! Drawback is senders have to try at least twice - spammer don't (usually) and all proper/legit does.
Totally, but the flip side of that configurability is i still cant get my filament runout sensor to work without klipper throwing an unrecoverable error and aborting my print.
I have a dumb question about patent trolls.

How do they figure out whether stuff is truly infringing a patent in the first place? Surely some corporate espionage is required to figure this out?
According to my friend, psilocybin itself is therapeutic and allows introspection, provided it is done in a safe environment.
Australia: What You Need to Know About the Coming Crypto Regulation
It'd be fairly weird though since the electrics don't idle. Starting off would be easy: just put it in gear and then accelerate without ever having to slip the clutch or even know about the clutch "bite" point. Be a bit like using a traditional starter motor with a manual already in gear and the clutch engaged.

The clutch would probably last a very long time.
So I sell code. Source code. But purchasers cannot distribute it as source (only binaries using the source.)

They can obviously modify it, or extend it for their own development.

So its clearly not Open Source (and I don't market it as such.)

I haven't found a generally recognizable term for commercial products shipped as source code (with or without pre-compiled binaries.)

I think that term would be useful, to distinguish something that is not Open Source and also not Binary.

Currently we describe it as "all source, no black boxes or dlls." which is a bit wordy.

I would say though that regardless of what some customers may _understand_ Open Source to be, this is not Open Source. As programmers it behoves us to use correct terminology not hide behind "what we think the customer thinks."
Which is an excellent point because it may have been reasonable when the patent system was created and for hard objects because there were natural limits on how fast innovation could happen.

But software is literally only limited by our minds. Slowing down innovation to a 20 year cycle is devastating to the pace at which it can happen.
Absolutely. Not just bikes either. All slow vehicles should make it as easy as possible for others to overtake them.
Source? I've been looking for the price just out of curiosity.
eh for cars maybe, but an automatic test for your commercial drivers license to operate a tractor trailer comes with some pretty severe restrictions. they're nice for day drivers like the beer trucks and FedEx mules but regional and over the road/interstate drivers can't upgrade to tankers or low boy trailers in most states unless they can jockey a stick.

auto boxes on semi trucks also do some squirrley things on long hills and descents where control is pretty darn important.
> But the biggest win with stand-alone mail clients is that you can make them work the way you want. Most email clients, especially web-based clients like Gmail, have a workflow in mind. If it’s not your workflow, too bad. You can bend them a little bit, but you never really get the freedom to use them the way you want. Vivaldi Mail has some sensible defaults, but just like the web browser it lives inside of, the settings are fully customizable.

> This is the first step in improving your productivity—establishing a software workflow that conforms to your brain’s specific contours.

Well, I don't think any email client will solve my email problems. I forward email messages into my project management apps and deal with them there. I've never found email clients to be particularly good at managing projects.
You're right. Definitely wouldn't consider the direct attach cables though for anything longer than 1m. Any serious deployment you'd want to be full optics.
We have bad support and customer service experiences quite a bit, and don’t feel a need to “tell the entire world.”

Our experience with Google led to a considerable loss of income.

There’s also the problem where they disabled every product my wife used, but continued charging her.

They’re a terrible provider, plain and simple, and we feel that we should warn others.

I found that manual transmissions were good for creating a higher level of engagement in my teen drivers. They literally became more aware and focused on driving and less scary when I made them learn to drive a stick.

Our last stick, a peppy Mazda 3 imported from Canada is the car they all beg to drive when they visit now from college.
I'm a deep computer nerd, I play lots of games, with a family watching streaming on 2 to 4 devices regularly, I buy a decent amount of games, download terabytes per year...

I'm just fine with my 300 mbps connection. Even when it drops to 20 mbps occasionally it's not the worst experience.

I'm not sure what it is that is different about me than my peers.
Are we rolling back all off the safety, efficiency and emissions regulations created since ‘65 too?
In prior history Hotz was targeted by Sony for his independent research into running homebrew applications on the PS3 game-console. Unfortunately Sony objected to this and launched legal action[1] against Hotz and others which sadly ended in Hotz settling to not research Sony products again and did not set a good precedent towards such work.

Different situation but hopefully better outcome this time...

this is completely irrelevant. conformity does not represent knowledge. the majority of doctors in the u. s. believe a divine being rules the universe and pray to this diety regularly. are they too ill-informed and irresponsible to give you medical advice?
Mazda Miata is a great reason for a manual.
They're more fun to drive if you're driving for fun, but most people aren't and commuting in heavy traffic in a manual transmission car sucks. I am sure manuals will live on for a relatively small group of hobbyists, but there's not a lot of reason for the vast majority of drivers to use them.
> I'm not sure it could ever be more than a counter-culture on the fringes of the internet, nor am I sure it should be. The popularisation of the web is a genie that cannot be put back in the bottle. And most people don't want what you're selling. I don't say that to be disparaging at all, as I personally love projects like this and Gemini, etc. But I think it's okay that the small web should remain small.

I'm not really envisioning making the small websites big, but rather making the internet seem less small. Judging by the results you find on Google and so on, you might think there was only a few hundred websites, because that's all you ever see. There are millions.

> On the contrary, it has been driven primarily by consumer demand

Who, besides the advertisement industry, wants the state of the internet as it is today?

Even my hairdresser complains about how bad it's gotten, how pointlessly vapid the listicles are, how hard it is to find a reliable review. Show me, where is the demand for bait-and-switch click funnels, for email spam, for websites that take 45 seconds to load on an android phone only to have ads pop in between every sentence? Who is the person that wants to scroll through dozens of blog posts trying to find an answer to a problem, only to slowly realize it's just AI-generated word salad?

The internet, as it looks today, fails rather spectacularly to meet consumer demand. It is incredibly hostile not only to consumers, but to content producers as well. The only real winners are the middle men, the platform operators that have inserted themselves in the middle of this whole mess.
The two things aren't opposing concepts. We need individual agency through collective action.
You could probably get a pretty good idea from reading the Discord engineering blog.
The difference is typically between a static _public_ IPv4 address or a dynamic _private_ IPv4 address, and CGNAT sharing public IPv4 addresses across subscribers.
Can I add a request? A car that doesn't phone home. That is, one that the government is utterly unable to remotely turn off, monitor, or impose distance quotas. One that cannot be hacked through a poorly secured server in a car maker's server farm or government server with the username/pass admin/admin.
My understanding is that gearboxes trade torque for rotational speed, and electric motors have plenty of the later but with less torque than exploding hydrocarbons to push pistons. So my guess is that in addition to be unnecessary (electric motors can do a lot of rpm with constant torque), it might be really hard to make a manual transmission electric car drive well with more than a couple gears. And switching between them wouldn’t be anything like the experience of an ICE car.
It might make more sense than you think. You'd almost never need more than two gears, and apparently they are bringing multi-speed gears to EVs:

https://www.currentautomotive.com/the-past-present-and-futur...

But it would only be of interest for the "sport" vehicle market, because EVs with one gearset work just fine.
Is there any apologia for this? It just seems like such an obvious & clear example, of how bad privatization/neoliberalism is for nations & peoples.

Why are political parties entirely unable to acknowledge & correct themselves? It's demented that politics is so unable to acknowledge the past in any way, unable to learn: it pretends an eternal innocence.

It makes me think of a comment #3 in "Highlights from the Comments on Subcultures"[1], on orthodox vs heresiarchs; the tendency of the system to generally reinforce it's beliefs & to bureaucrotize up, enforce it's norms, rather than consider what it's energetic & moral forces within might say. The recent round of primaries in the US had a number of very sad losses, where somewhat sound people were replaced by yes-men; sadly this disease of shallow, unthinking orthodoxy seems enormously hard to challenge in the world today. Which is remarkable to me, given the scope of information & awareness people have access to.

From your first link: The "estimates of civilian casualties are hampered methodologically and practically";[5] civilian casualty estimates "are largely compiled by interpreting news reports relying on anonymous officials or accounts from local media, whose credibility may vary."

I know it's a memel, but as a millennial with a 6MT, I know far more people in my age group who own manual cars, than older people (say over 45) who can drive one period. My brother an I are capable, as is my dad; one of my four aunts can, and none of my 7 grandparents can either. If I start looking at co-workers (fairly broad and distributed age range of 20-70) the same rings true, the only people daily-driving manuals are under 40, while easily 2/3 of that 20-45 age group can drive manual; conversely of those in the 46+ range, it seems closer to 1/3 are capable of driving, and almost all of them because they have a manual classic.

People seem to forget the automatic transmission started mass production in 1939, and take-rates in the US well-exceeded 50% by the late '60s/early '70s.
I have a manual (2018), I'd buy an electric for the acceleration but they need to make it a $30k autocross car. Don't mind if it's a death trap, just fast and cheap.
Formula E cars have gears. I guess they are still needed. Would love to learn why. L

>self hosting isn't feasible for 99% of the population

Its only this way because companies have a vested interest in keeping it like that. It's how they make their money. It is absolutely within the realm of possibility that people host their own search engine. 99% of people know how to install Google Chrome right? this should be no different. The entire search engine & webserver stack it depends on could be bundled into a .exe/.app installer with simple instructions people can understand. Consider XAMPP- which already provides a webserver stack that is extremely easy to install on Windows/Mac just by a simple .exe/.app that 'just works'. This hypothetical search engine could use similar methods as the XAMPP installer. There is no technical reason why this can't happen. It just isn't happening because it'd increase competition, cutting into DDG's profits.
A honeypot filled with potential victims if you miss one. The parents were right.
If they can get this platform right it seems like this model solves one of the major complaints about Stadia, that you don't own the games.

I made a quick search and GFN seemed to have all of the recent major new games and most of the old classics (4/5 old indie games I searched for); is it really that bad?

Any game more than 5 years old runs fine on my existing rig, if this service lets me avoid buying a new GPU while still owning the games in my Steam library then it's pretty amazing in my book.

I can see the other use-case is "play any game on a laptop" in which case the holes in the back-catalog could be more problematic, but I think they will go far just enabling people to play AAA and new indie games without a dedicated rig.
Defining index as the element wise offset is a precise well formed definition/name.

It's also a definition commonly used in math, through not always. It depends a lot of the area of mathematics and even the cultural context.

The only reason we sometimes feel 0-index is wrong IMHO is because the english language describes entities in a sequence as 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.

But I wouldn't be surprised if there is some human language somewhere which does it differently. Like something which roughly matches to english like "head, head+1, head+2, ...".
Ah got it! Thanks for sharing the reddit thread. Very helpful :)
They make all their torque at 0 RPM.
Good point! We will add the "about" page. Thanks for the suggestion!
Back when mustangs used gasoline and were sports cars, I compared a V6 (non-turbo) manual with a V8 automatic. The V6 was much more fun to drive and got better fuel economy.

My tiny ultra-efficient EV blows them both out of the water on mountain roads though.

There's one exception: the RWD EV's front end likes to skid while decelerating into turns. I prefer the Mustang's habit of breaking the rear end loose while accelerating out of turns.
Thanks! :) Please help share.
Exactly: partition => divorce. The arrow symbol '=>' is not causal; the partition did not cause the divorce, but where there was a partition, the divorce, in our experience, inevitably happened.

I don't even want to elevate our lengthy relationship as something superior. Hardly anyone, including us, started out in their teens understanding what makes a good relationship. We probably stumbled into the single pot model because each of us had so little, then.
How old? Back in the 90s and before, manual transmissions were clearly far superior to automatics. They had more gears, they were far more reliable (automatics routinely broke down), and they had significantly better fuel economy. The only reason to drive an automatic was sheer laziness.

Fast-forward to today, and it's all changed. Automatics have at least as many gears, they're more reliable (they don't need the clutch changed every 100-200k), and they have significantly better fuel economy. The only reason to drive a manual now is basically nostalgia.
You go as deep as you need to. My day job involves writing tons of Javascript and there is zero need for me to dive into the underlying processes until something goes wrong. So far the lowest I’ve ever needed to go was the node source.
We've slowed nearly to a stop for the roundabout, entered it when it was clear, and now need to put on some speed to get going again at the speed of the other traffic.
I suspect it's an unfair test

they should be comparing the same input/output hardware with the xbox

then only switching out the xbox for a PC connected to the same inputs/output

what would be terrible: comparing xbox plugged into TV+controller with geforce now running on a PC with keyboard+mouse+PC monitor

the numbers don't make sense otherwise
A better SQL INSERT syntax proposal
Another elephant in the room: /64, /56, or /48. The first one is completely unacceptable in the modern world, the second is acceptable and the third is desirable ... per ISP connection.

If you only get a /64 ie one IPv6 subnet prefix then you are only a tick in a box.

Ideally you also get a separate uplink subnet too along with your shiney prefix for WAN. There is a RFC that will enable a sub-prefix from a prefix allocation to be taken out for WAN and make it all work. Sorry if that sounds like gibberish - I won't explain that lot here!

There are so many things to get sorted with IPv6 - it is not a finished thing. It's only about 40 or so years old.
Forget about the government, I’m more afraid of insurance companies or the manufacturers themselves imposing such limits.

Fortunately shielding against one shields against both.
I tried various solutions before but I think some sync'ing is broken (including how google contacts does it), and now with the fragmentation of messengers (signal, telegram, whatsapp, linkedin) I just figured as long as I know the name of someone I can reasonably expect to have a way to reach them; albeit suboptimally sometimes if I guess the preferred network wrong)
Yep, the only thing that’s missing is modulating your front/rear braking split (and hence under/oversteer) with the clutch on the way in to corners.

Of course, front wheel drives can do this with left foot braking but I never got the hang of that.
I wouldn't jump to this conclusion just yet!

Porsche, Ferrari, etc all commanded huge premiums this year for their manual versions. Specifically among younger buyers and first time buyers! You even see this effect downmarket - Toyota promised to never make a manual version of their Supra, then just this last year they put together a cobbled transmission to save their car.

Manuals are also an order of magnitude less complex and cheaper - so automakers will still have some incentive to include them on small budget cars to keep down their base MSRP (even if they don't offer a ton of them). It helps that in most other countries, manuals are still king.

Finally, manual transmissions are overrepresented on the used market. Because manual cars are roughly half as complex as automatics, that translates to many fewer components going bad over time. Less likely to die = cars that stay circulating in the market longer. So if you buy used cars, the options for manuals increases dramatically.
I had a Saab 900 Turbo with manual. There was a fairly steep hill coated with wet ice. I was able to feather my way up the hill without too much drama. Unstudded snow tires. It did have the benefit of having 60% of the weight over the drive wheels.

What a great car that was. Complete beast in the winter.
As in help people get inspired how to write their prompts just like how people get inspired by home decor ideas on Pinterest :)
I like driving manual and I like my EV. But I don't want a manual in my EV. Just give me an EV without all the traction control smarts. Give me access to the raw power so I can control how and when it slips.
what a shitty way to make money.
Entirely unnecessary to meet the parents “demands”.

> You may ask why an electric race car needs a transmission in the first place? Using a gearbox helps you to extract the maximum efficiency possible from the electric motor. High Performance electric motor efficiency varies greatly depending on its architecture and design philosophy. Some motors are high revving – perhaps as high as 25,000rpm, while others only reach 9,000rpm. They will be delivering very different torque bands; using a transmission helps you keep the motor in the most efficient operating range possible.

> There’s another fundamental reason why Formula E cars use a transmission: because the rules say so. The regulations stipulate that the motor must deliver drive to both wheels through a single mechanical transmission, so you need at least one gear set to accomplish this final drive. The electric motors used in Formula E have some of the highest power-to-weight ratio of any automotive motor in the world so that transmission has its work cut out for it.
Well as a user, it helps to protect me against the tracking scripts which IG/TikTok/etc inject into their webviews.

I bought my phone, I own it. I know that disabling JS breaks some things, but I don't want random fly-by-night app developers injecting code into my web browser.

It is great.
I've been saying for years I'll give up my manual transmission when the car doesn't have a transmission - EV.
