> That also being said, pedestrian, public transport, and bicyclist infrastructure is also majorly funded in part by car-related taxes, to which there is no alternate source of funding if cars completely go away

This is unfortunately incorrect. Cars are heavily subsidized by income and property taxes. The cost to maintain and build roads far out-strip the taxes collected by gas and sales taxes for automobiles. Right now, the accounting is made to look like cars are funding these programs, however it is mostly sleight of hand.

That's why you should use GPU scaling instead.
Capped means the investor is putting in a floor for the minimum stake they’ll accept in the next round. So regardless of next funding round they would get own (original investment)/(new valuation with maximum value of cap) = % of company owned. Uncapped means the denominator will be whatever new valuation is.
A released OS should not be "totally untested." If it is, that's a whole other problem right there.

Justine's work on all this has been hugely inspiring and a big breath of fresh air in an area that always kicks the can of reducing final binary sizes down the road.

That's one of my very few gripes with Rust: compared to what Zig / C / C++ can produce, Rust's release binaries are quite huge. There's likely a lot of possible work to be done in the area of tree shaking and generally only leaving in what's actually used in the final binary. I hope this becomes a priority soon-ish.

Pakistan's finances would be less shaky if the government spent less money on building nuclear weapons and sponsoring terrorists. (And I do feel sorry for the ordinary Pakistanis who are caught in this disaster through no fault of their own and with no control over government spending.)
This lack of understanding and emphathy goes a long way.

- Perhaps the cycle way had issues that made it un-navigable. Maybe it got tacked, had a load of glass, perhaps it was not smooth. You don't really know how bad some off-road areas are until you are 2 feet away (then you notice, oh yeah, this is rooted to crap, or there are other issues).

- Maybe the cyclist needed to make a turn that was coming up?

- Maybe the cyclist had joined the road way not long ago and was going to hop over

- Maybe the road way was just safe enough rather than go on a path that significantly reduces speed of travel. A 20% reduction in speed, every day, two ways, over distance - adds up. It's not quite enough for something to be "safe", needs to be functional as well. If you make a commute be an hour when it could be 20 minutes instead, that infrastructure is not "perfect" (that is a real example, some infrastructure I've seen wants you to ride on super crowded side-walks where you can do at best 3mph for 2 miles. On the road that goes by in about 5 minutes, can sustain 25mph on it and 2 miles is done in no time; and this is just one two mile stretch of a 6 mile distance).

> he's proof that even the best infrastructure

It turns out what looks like "the best infrastructure", is really often a sad joke when you try to ride in it. Protected lanes sound nice, but turning left (in the US) out of one is a nightmare and is super dangerous because nobody can see you or is expecting for you to cross lanes.

This again goes back to perspective. Those protected lanes might seem lovely, but in practice can be totally useless. The far edge of the road might look ideal, but if you look at it you'll see it's uneven, full of debris, has grates, and places where the road crumbles away and is not even there. You won't notice these at all traveling faster than 20mph (let alone at 50mph) and from 20 feet away.
Making public transportation free would reduce demand for oil/gas in cities and would lower prices people in rural areas would pay relative to it not being free.

Of course, this assumes that public transportation is only available in cities, but that's not true at all. Many European countries have extremely effective rural public transportation.

Sounds a bit harsh.

It's like software development.

Back in the day you could make good money with websites. Knew HTML? You got the job!

But the goalposts are constantly moving. You had to add CSS and later JS to your skills to keep up.

Today, you won't get paid for writing HTML anymore.

Same for other industries.

You have to move with the industry, gather new skills, etc.
Here are just a couple of things.

Often, decomposition is based on areas of domain or functionality. There are some downsides to doing it this way. The method in the book proposes it be based on areas of volatility instead. As an example, imagine writing a piece of software for FedEx shipping. What would change to use that same software for UPS instead? That may identify some areas of volatility. If you can plan that something might change, you can limit the ripple effect of those changes in future. Just an example of one benefit of doing it this way. The book explains some of how to approach designing this way.

Another point: Architecture is not just about designing the software. It is also designing the project to build that software. This involves things like critical paths, staffing, risk management, etc. Understanding these is important if you want to be able to deliver on time and on budget.

All art is derivative and there's no such thing as originality. Every human artist draws inspiration from their visual and emotional experiences, copyrighted or otherwise, how is this different? If I watch Star Wars and then make a space opera film that's aesthetically similar to Star Wars, that's not copyright laundering, it's inspiration! Same principle applies here.

I don't use xbindkeys so maybe my impression is wrong, but AHK is far more powerful. You can incorporate state into your scripts, or read things from the screen and act conditially on it (though the repo says WindowSpy is unsupported. I think that's what allowed screen-reading).

You can compile it into a binary with no dependencies, so you can easily bring your script to other computers or share it. You can create a GUI to run commands rather than binding them to key patterns.

I used to use it in World of Warcraft to do things like have my character's entire skill rotation on one key (e.g. just keep pressing "1" and AHK will handle pressing the next "real" key for the sequence. Hit another key and I can reset the sequence early). And to automatically tatget myself and cast a heal when my health goes below 50%, which was done by polling a certain pixel on the screen for a specific value of red.
But then I'd get phone calls. :-/
Your interpretation makes sense if you consider leftist to be a purely relative classification. We don't even need to look outside of the US to understand why that's not a very meaningful way to think about ideology: the Overton window within the Republican party has undergone a substantial shift to the right since the 1970s [1].

Without even loosely-defined characterizations of what a political ideology is and where it falls on our (albeit very imperfect) scale, terms like "leftism" are doomed to a future of being weaponized by their opponents, who themselves shift right and decry moderates as "radicals".

All of that aside, I'd still like to hear your rationalization for her recent appearance as the host of a far-right talk show where she, among other things, referred to the sitting attorney general's investigation of a former President's alleged crimes as one having "all hallmarks of a dictatorship". Is hosting Tucker's program an endorsement of every position he's ever espoused? Surely not. But I'd say it's a level of support akin to giving a speech at a political candidate's rally...

Not enough. This “apply to us” format should be deprecated. There’s a solo investor on twitter who says “DM me would love to chat if you’re building something.” And that’s much more approachable. She’s flooded with high quality founders and startups.

People who run their own thing are looking for partners not a boss or anything that resembles one. This “fill up this form job/university application format so some alleged superior being judges you” is exactly what they ran away from. Speaking from experience.

At least for engine management that's definitely doable, there are off-the-shelf ECUs for race/custom cars that are meant to be used like this (configurable via USB so you can tune every parameter).

I made my early career on doing things that other developers claimed were impossible.

But we don't have another term that both has traction and isn't ridiculed.

"Rock star" and "ninja" are in the latter camp; both those terms and "miracle worker" seem like you're bragging.

But you're absolutely right. I know that there are some solutions I've come up with--quickly--that the rest of the team wouldn't have achieved given years. Your overall descriptions hits me too--non-traditional background, ADHD-level boredom sensitivity, always pushing for the right solution even if it's not politically wise, and demanding of high compensation.

But instead of changing the world I keep taking relatively brainless tasks just because they pay well. The boredom part makes it hard sometimes, but I usually get around that by changing the environment I'm working in so that any repetitive work gets eliminated.

I'm from hier ;-) and I'm painfully aware how long some institutions take. However Hollywood was/is an important outlet of the allies, and the movie depicted bad stuff done by the Nazis (I think? never saw it). So I believe it's reasonable that they have exerted some influence (stuff like that certainly happened in the french sector, I was told).

It was released uncut on VHS (1978 in the US, so 1979/1980 in Germany; VHS for home use came about 1976). So if it was "eventually/finally shown uncut" that probably refers to running in the cinema; this leaves only the option that (a) during the initial run they moved from the cut to the uncut version or (b) there was a rerun at some point [maybe for the VHS release].

Anyway, I find it difficult to research this and also don't care enough; the movie is just too obscure in Germany, and certainly not my favorite genre.

P.S.: Yes, I know about Wolfenstein; but that's a different medium in a different age.

In my opinion, they aren't an eyesore. I quite like them. I appreciate the engineering. But that's a matter of personal preference.

I agree: Nuclear is better. Had we ignored the hippies and NIMBYs 40 years ago and just gotten on with it, we would have a whole lot less problems. Had we done the same 20, 10, 5 years ago things would be a lot better. If we got them to shut up and listen now we would have a long term solution.

Unfortunately, with the way our governments are setup, large scale nuclear that is able to lower costs is simply not viable. Politicians look out for themselves, not long term national interest. The people have a visceral negative reaction that we aren't changing any time soon. Also, we can only really trust nuclear with certain countries. How many "civilian nuclear programs" have actually been for enrichment?

In an ideal world, we would run everything on nuclear. But our world is messy and imperfect. Wind turbines are a improvement in coal/gas, at least until a certain point where the instability is no longer worth it.

Those of us who care about energy security, climate change, and practicality need to advocate for nuclear. But its unlikely the pro-nuclear side will succeed. It has a fossil fuel lobby, renewable lobby, and an easily-scared, highly-emotional electorate to overcome.

Renewable energy - wind, solar, etc - are imperfect, but they're also a lot easier to get built. There's no need to push against wind and solar when we should be advocating for nuclear.
Ask HN: What is your best tips for being a productive, happy and satisfied team?
Hi HN.

I am curious about your own tips for being a productive, happy and satisfied software team.

My own tips are:

- a clear vision on what the team is responsible for enabling the business to do
- decisions within the team is based on validation and is data-driven
- team being able to plan its work without suddenly outside stakeholders interfering
- team size below 6 because otherwise communication is an overhead
- no or very little red-tape when provisioning resources, developing, testing and deploying software
- collaboration based on written documentation/specs rather than verbal and physical meetings
- very little meeting activity outside the team
- meetings are only mandatory if the meeting-owner provides a clear agenda, actions for each attendee and attendees leave the meeting with actionable outcomes

What else ?

I kinda hate that I know this, but I suppose I might as well put my MBA to some use. There is such a concept as brand deposit ( where you are basically building up goodwill ) and brand withdrawal ( where you are using your brand for an activity that is likely to result in short term profit at a loss of goodwill of the customers ). For one reason or another, a whole slew of companies decided that short term profits are more important than their individual brands. It is puzzling for companies like Amazon, who partially rely on brand recognition.
Here are a few things I've done in AHK on Windows:

1. Move cursor to the toolbar icon of an app, right click, navigate menus, and select an option (all with one keystroke).

2. Click a button in one program. Copy file. Switch to Excel. Switch to the right worksheet. Click a VBA button. Switch to another sheet. All with one keystroke.

3. With one keystroke, set certain settings in Visual Studio (via the menu) and run the debugger.

4. With a keystroke, sign out of Teams/Skype.

5. Launch screenshot program, present me with a dialog box asking for filename, and have it save the screenshot in a directory and provide me an Org-mode link to the saved file.

These are all "easy" in AHK. I never learned it well enough to do more advanced stuff.
I think that "too good to be true" is an intentional strategy in these kinds of listings. This way, the only people who buy it are those who don't know better, and probably won't realize they were scammed. They'll just buy it because they know 30 > 1 or 2, so it must be better.

If you sell a scam device that seems like plausibly real deal, you might have a bunch of buyers who actually know what they're doing, intend to use the space, and will subsequently complain and return the devices.

I'm guessing that they're imagining we'll give the productivity AI too much leeway, because it prints money so nobody has to work, until it goes unchecked and eventually starts making decisions contrary to typical human interests, because we based its reward function on profit instead of understanding what people really need/want to be happy.
To add to your point, there is a kernel of truth in the 'the left keeps moving goalposts' meme [1].

In present internet discourse, 5-percentile radical leftist opinions are peddled as if they represent any significant group of people in this nation. Anyone who does not agree with their often non-scientific ideological framework is labelled as right-wing-fascist irrespective of ground realities surrounding the person or the topic.

What we're witnessing here is a takeover of the American left by a very particular strain of political activism. Like all activists, they too care more about ascendency in the power struggle and aesthetic markers of cultural victory, instead of practical solutions for improving the lives of the population they represent.

> We're not in Europe

If Europe had anywhere near the racial/cultural/religious diversity of the US, then they'd be on their way to a swift turn to the right. Orban is the canary, and the rise of the right in Germany/France/Italy is exactly representative of that phenomenon. Social safety nets do not make for left-liberal ideology. Most of these socialist-paragons demand incredible conformity (scandinavia) and have restrictive abortion laws [2] among other traditionally right-wing traits.

Agree 100%. In addition, bikes were legislated to be allowed on roads that were simply not built for them. Not their fault, but it creates a hazard for them AND drivers of vehicles for which they WERE built.
