Twist 2 is available for free on YouTube. Filmed decades ago but motorcycles are still mostly the same.
In mountain biking where you turn more by leaning the bike and rotating the hips, it is very evident that briefly steering by rotating the handlebar to the opposite direction points the head tube of the frame right into the turn, and then it's just a matter of straightening the handlebar and leaning into the corner.
On the second point (the need to maintain light acceleration) I'd always thought this was more to counteract engine braking - if there is engine braking, that is more demand on the rear tyre, kind of like applying the brake - which takes up a bit of the "available" friction that could be used for cornering.
It seems to me that among the US boomers, Kevin was often a marker of Irish descent. Pretty obviously that has long since ceased to be true.
I use GPG Suite on Mac and even then the ergonomics are confusing. GPG/PGP is just kind of confusing for us not deeply into cryptography.
Author here!

This is a write-up about how we built a core part of our product, which is the workflow engine.

Workflows are more complex than most of our features, powered by something akin to a small programming language designed to help model things like users, teams, PagerDuty services, etc. on behalf of our customers.

The post is a behind-the-scenes view of both how the feature works and insight into our goals and methodology as a team, including an evaluation of whether the up-front investment was worthwhile.

I think it's rare that people go into both the technical and human side of building a feature, and hope this can be a case study of how engineering projects get done at a start-up like ours!
"If there was some crypto without any incentives of hodling long term, "

The opposite.

Cryptos that are anchored to USD have no appeal. They're less useful than USD, and, there's no 'get rich quick' aspect. So what's the point.

The Ponzi Mania is what drives people into BTC and to talk about it incessantly on the Internet etc.. Without the mania, it's not going to spread.

An institutionalized crypto, like one by the government, and which had some kind of stability (i.e. central banked) would probably get critical mass and therefore have some utility.

Big second recommendation for twist of the wrist. You can watch a pretty cheesy, but very informative version of it on youtube.

Craig, thanks for the comment and recommendations. I think I'll check out Roadcraft.
Can agree about cutting the boot.

I used to work in an R&D lab at AT&T (the mothership, pre at&t = cellular/mobile). My laptops took many falls due to someone/something giving the Ethernet cord a tug so I was in the habit of not just cutting the boots but removing the tab that's designed to keep the cable in the socket. I still do that on whatever eth cable goes into my backpack.

It's also good around hyper and small dogs/children :)

Although I think Roadcraft has been "superseded" by IAM with a simplified version called "How to be a better driver", I would use both.
It's worth bearing in mind that _all_ ports on the device are expansion cards, including the USB-C port that the device needs to actually charge. In any case I think WiFi is 'good enough' for most use cases, and as such the number of laptops that provide ethernet as standard is rapidly diminishing. I very rarely need an ethernet port on my laptop, but for the times I do it'd be very helpful to have it installed rather than needing a dongle flapping about.
I did this so much that I got into the habit of putting "mdn" before any search query. Now I do it without even thinking about it.
It should not have been any kind of 'investment' in the first place.
Your car understeering or oversteering is not countersteering.

Steering inputs to correct for understeer and oversteer are not countersteering.

Countersteering is specific to two-wheeled vehicles. Please read links before commenting...
For what it's worth, I hate the fluff. But the information buried within was very interesting. Unfortunately, with a single dominant gatekeeper to all the web's content, that gatekeeper dictates how people will write.

That said, I understand Google's position. Back in the WildWildWest days of the WorldWideWeb, Google made the change from preferring keyword-based text to preferring written-for-humans text. But the target humans seem to those who read for love of reading, as judged by lit majors. Now I've been teased since kindergarten for my love of reading, but as a professional I want concise and terse, not an overabundance of anecdotes and adjectives. But the lit majors who influenced the post-2008 spider algorithms correctly for the time influenced a preference for the later.

Hopefully sometime Google will figure out that technical texts should be keyword based, and literary texts should be for-humans, whatever that is deemed to mean. And Google might provide either a feature to choose the algorithm, or more likely, try to guess based on heuristics.
It's not very clear from your comment where exactly you are, but in The Netherlands credit cards are quite common — almost everyone I know has one, and I was raised here.
Here's an example of a beautifully executed Scandinavian flick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CQ-fsoGkd8 — very common in rally driving.

Often it's very well modelled in rally games as well, and crucial for making the best times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhfW1Vwgek0

My sister is a vet. She works in a normal vet practice in our city dealing with mainly cats and dogs. Once I asked her why she doesn't work as a vet in the zoo, an extremely prestigious and wealthy institution with zoological research, wide variety of animals, etc. She just said that all young vets want to be a vet in the zoo. So they have much worse pay and conditions than other vet jobs.

Video game developers don't have terrible conditions and relatively low pay because of some anomalous lack of bargaining power which can be fixed by unionization. They have lots of bargaining power, most of which they use to choose the industry they work in. There are lots of young men who want to work in games, and far fewer who want to work in financial software. So pay and conditions are far worse in games, to the point where supply meets demand in each type of development work.
When I held crypto, I used a 3rd party.

Why?

Because they are more trustworthy than my own ability to not screw up. I lose/break things all the time. I didn't want a fragile token or backup costing me 5 figures.
Am I missing something on the top diagram of the article labeled "A hypothetical curve on dry asphalt"? It has sections labeled "counterstearing" but I don't see any counterstearing in the movement marked in red. While on the real-life images below it clearly shows it.
Remember that the comment started with "My best guess at why the average person is hesitant to use bitcoin".

The "average person" needs something roughly equivalent to a current bank or credit card in terms of simplicity. Currently, that basically means using third-parties like Coinbase, not reading the Bitcoin whitepaper, managing their own hardware wallets and encryption keys, thinking through backups and disaster recovery scenarios, and being dilligent about maintaining opsec.
Actually I sympathise with this response. Getting tired myself of people larping as fact checkers and professional skeptics.

Not enough detail in someone's response? Here are some ideas:

1. Ask moar polite. Not, "I don't think the story adds up."

2. Assume the story is yet true and go to prove it to your satisfaction. Post the links and thank op for the interesting nerd snipe.

3. Enter the proposition into your mental database with some lower level of confidence and move on.

Not that you should do anything you're not comfortable with but I will note that the source control systems for most major companies are essentially known, especially around here. "At Facebook we use a Mercurial-inspired thing with some local extensions" is not really earth-shattering.
I believe you're saying the same thing.

How does this happen? In the U.S. we have the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) which teaches a basic motorcycle riding course, and can give you a certificate for a motorcycle endorsement on your state license. One of their only prerequisites for the course is that you can ride a bicycle, because it guarantees the rider understands countersteering at low speeds before getting anywhere near a motorcycle.
> Why do you think that not one of the capitals of any of the 50 states is in the largest city?

Are we talking about Brazil or the USA?

Here in Brazil, the capital of the state of São Paulo (also called São Paulo, the state and the city have the same name) is the largest city not only of the state, but also of the whole country; according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities), it's one of the largest cities in the world. The same happens for the state of Rio de Janeiro, where I live; its capital, also called Rio de Janeiro (another case where the state and the city have the same name), and which is also the country's former capital, is once again the largest city of the state (and second largest of the country, and also one of the largest cities in the world). Go down the list of "largest cities in Brazil", and you will find several others which are the capital of their state. The capital of the state being the largest city in it is more of a rule than an exception.
I really feel like when a motorcycle is travelling at greater than 30 40 or 50 kph, countersteering is the only way to steer. But doing it subconsciously and doing it with knowledge on the subject are 2 different feelings.
> increasing throttle will often straighten the path of the vehicle irrespective of current steering input

"when in doubt, gas it out"
Even understeering, to recover grip you need to reduce the load (slip angle) on the front tyres- by straightening the wheel a bit. Not turning the wheel even further. So the same general principle applies, but it's less urgent when understeering as it's a kind of 'stable' situation.
"Pretty cheesy" might be a bit of an understatement but it's a good companion to the TOTW2 book.
From the Wikipedia article:

> While this appears to be a complex sequence of motions, it is performed by every child who rides a bicycle. The entire sequence goes largely unnoticed by most riders, which is why some assert that they do not do it.
> When China’s population stops growing

To put this in context, here's what a recent article[0] from Fortune has to say:

> On Thursday, Yang Wenzhuang, the head of population for China’s National Health Commission, told a conference that the country’s population would start to shrink before 2025, according to state-run news outlet Global Times. Earlier forecasts expected the decline to begin in 2027.

A Natural Language Interface to Crunchbase
Hi Guys,

let me know if anyone wants to build a natural language interface over their SQL database. We can help.

We have launched and have a free tier option on AWS. Now we are looking for more users to iterate with.

Any other feedback welcome too.
FIAT has proven time and time again to fail. Dollar world trade is unfair and benefits the USA unfairly.

I would prefer a neutral crypto currency to be the new world reserve instead of a competing currency like the YUAN. Government should not have the power to print money out of thin air.

The technology of blockchains is improving, for the example lightning network should make it very well possible. Just like with the invention of 'real' money there is a lot of failure in the crypto space.

The subject of money and currencies is a much more complex issue. A government giving its "printing power" or in the case of Elsalvador, no longer wanting to be the victim of the printing power of the USA, is a very good thing.
I once ported a small amount of code from C to a managed language. The C code used single precision floats (24 bit significand), the target language supported only double precision (53 bit significand). There was little enough math that it was practical to do something like frob = x * 2 ** (53-24); x += frob; x -= frob; to truncate the extra bits and produce the same result, for easier verification.
Your 'convictions' will not help you predict where a herd of cows will move or stampede. And that's all BTC is. Whatever a crew of people believe it will be worth. Other currencies are integrated into the economy, which gives them a baseline value from which valuation isn't going to go to far away from.

Moreover, the entire philosophy of holding BTC as some store of value destroys the notion of BTC as a viable currency.

It seems "prosecutors [are] reportedly charging that UST and luna should have been classified as "investment contract securities." (https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/crypto/terra-founder-d...)

It took me more time than it probably should have to find details on what exactly the warrant was for.

i thought there was an industrywide videogame crash in the early 80s that was blamed on the atari consoles being too open. (everyone was making cartridges, even companies like ralston-purina, quality fell under the flooded market and consumers gave up).

my understanding is that this gave rise to nintendo's tight control over developer licensees while atari was sold off and pivoted to home computers (specifically the st line) under jack tramiel.

Please forgive me for this flippant speculation - if there's a biographical record of those who died of self neglect presumably in despair please can you information or suggest sources* - but I can't help but thinking how much rebranding simply to CBM could have done for Commodore Business Machines. Granted, three letter abbreviations are jealously guarded commonly across industrial classifications, but usually specious and purely with pseudo legal hubris and wishful thinking. I may have just touched on a good reason why something like this wasn't attempted. I can't imagine the original Commodore folk going in for any superficiality or legal shenanigans let alone affecting their identity. Thus Tramiel set the tone for commerce in the computing age much more broadly, I'm thoroughly disheartened to imagine.

* not least because the industry was infinitely more (historical invocation of the word) artisanal and the work personalized, I very much want to read. If I may be so forward, it sounds like you have personal history close to this. I'm seriously interested in doing anything possible to help get history like this published with effective general reader marketing and can tap a variety of serious resources and experience.

Because $25mil in revenue might still mean less profit than the cost of Akka licenses will add.

Remember, Revenue is before applying costs - costs like extra million here or there from licensing and costs of servicing the license which I think many people forget about. Especially when the software doesn't have some automated methods of license management.
The comment you are replying to was criticising "experts" not content farms.
Because that's not something that is typically checking in "test drives" nowadays. I was once yelled at by the Renault saleswoman for braking too hard during a test drive, even though I told here that I'm about to perform an emergency stop. She had us return to the dealership. I happily bought a Focus instead, the very next day, after a proper test drive.

But don't get me started on them providing a rear-disc-brake Focus for the test drive even though the trim level I was interested in had rear drums. Had I driven the drum model, I would not have bought it. But I acknowledge that I'm an outlier, who actually cares about how the vehicle handles and accelerates and brakes and takes potholes and how noisy it is at highway speeds and how it fares in a cross wind. The common, typical "test drive" doesn't cover any of those aspects anymore.
Or you're just not as experienced as you seem to think you are.

> half the company had prod access to user accounts

That's pretty normal depending on the size of the company.

The chances of that being true is pretty high if it's a smallish upstart with <50 employees.

> I've never met any of these stereotypes in the real world, although people do disagree on what is enough.

I've encountered several - they were all in the same company. It got so bad that multiple people quit and others were going to, until the people in question where "promoted" to a position where they weren't in the decision loop anymore.
People were still talking about it in mid 21.

Makes me wonder what else they "fixed" by changing the behavior in dubug builds and letting it crash in release.

You have to be able to trust the foundation you're building on.
No original thoughts in the 21st century :)
Your mistake is interpreting buyers of high risk/high payoff assets as interested in maximizing return rather than seeking entertainment. As entertainment, trading these types of “meme assets” is the consumer activity and should be viewed in the same category as other gambling consumer goods.
As much as people like to rant about license managers used in proprietary software (and hardware from IBM...), that's a necessary feature for handling that kind of license well.

Intel's amd64 chip name was given by the individual contributor racing car enthusiast at Microsoft behind the NT kernel. There is an interview on Youtube with the actual person.
It's "funny" how sometimes the "audiophile" equipment people use for hearing music is way more expensive (not better, necessarily) than the equipment used to record said music. Particularly cables.

How come an "audiophile" balanced XLR cable is 10 times more expensive (or more) than the ones used to connect the mics in the original recording, even when using the best Mogami cable, Neutrik plugs and paying somebody for hand soldering it?

More or less same as you, the team made by my "cheap" Denon amp plus a couple of Q Acoustics bookshelf speakers (and a relatively cheap high quality bluetooth receiver) sounds great, and the whole costs just a bit more than some crappy Beats headphones.

(Now that I'm venting, brands like Bose have some nice things but overprice lots of their equipment. Not to talk about the "DSP boards" needed to run their classic 802 PA systems, that was so bad)
How is the pornhub interface different from youtube‘s?
Brasília is weird in its lack of sidewalks. Sometimes you can't get to the next building without crossing a street or a parking lot.

Also, public transport is awful. Buses don't have air conditioning and the metro comes within 2km of the airport and turns away!

Still, people I know who grew up there say it was great to be able to roam and play freely around the residential areas.
The flick is not about responding to oversteer. It's about using the physics of weight transfer to more easily negotiate a turn. On a rally car, the counterweight is the car itself, on a bike, it's the human.
My gut feeling for headphones is that the $40-$80 price point is optimal and everything above that is smoke and mirrors. (or more charitably "a difference without a difference" - something that is perceptible but which doesn't improve the pleasure derived in any meaningful way)
Lisp is more trendy than Rust?
I like LISP, Clojure, Go, PHP,Star Trek > Star Wars and Bash for deployment script.

With that in mind, even though we "feel" like there are a gazillion Rust post. It seems in recent times there are MORE LISP posts than RUST ?

Ok HN, I'm ready for your cult-believes and religious arguments :D

PS. I'm not saying one is better than the other (although I have my fav) I am saying that it seems LISP gets more time on HN frontpage.
>On a "proper" 4x4 sliding, increasing throttle will often straighten the path of the vehicle irrespective of current steering input - a fun quirk of locking differentials.

Just remember when you're not driving a four-wheel drive car if you learn to rely on this method.
It is. If you open the side panel. And click the three dot on the tile of weather. There is a setting option.
The acting scenes are incredibly cheesy, and the rest of it is fine, just with a bit of a retro vibe. Dude's facial hair etc.
The real reason is: I don't gain any security from signing my own commits, I gain security when other people sign their commits which they are currently not doing.

Therefore, making things easier to set up makes a greater contribution to security than strict, gold-standard security features that nobody adopts.

Completely agree! Ideally, I'd just get an RSS feed for everything posted by the creators I follow.

I ended up automatically forwarding emails from Patreon to my RSS host, and that mostly works. Sometimes I don't get an email, sometimes only one of multiple images is included, and recently they started cropping images in the email (and stopped after a bunch of people complained)

This caused me to stop subscribing to new ones altogether
