For a recent example, the previous gen Honda HR-V was 171” long, the new one is 180”. That brings it to about 2” shorter than last year’s 182” Honda CR-V, but the new model of that grows to 185” long. Every time a car gets redesigned it gets bigger.

Recently disappointed with the Chevy Equinox EV announcement, it takes the name of their small SUV but makes it 11” longer. Still at least impressed by the target price, but wish it were smaller.

And you’d say “Oh well they have to put the batteries somewhere,” meanwhile on the same day Jeep announced their Avenger EV. It’s a proper subcompact with 250 mile range, but it won’t come to the US because apparently no one here wants small cars.

Also waiting for more info on Mazda’s plug-in hybrid models. The CX-60 was announced for Europe, but we have to wait for a special fat version (CX-70) for the USA.

Overall disappointed with the car manufacturers lately, and with the consumer spending habits that have pushed things this way. Would greatly increased taxes on large vehicles reduce it? Maybe, but then you’re basically saying “it’s OK to kill pedestrians as long as you’re rich.”
Your own weight has to decelerate to a stop, and the force it takes for your head to go 60 to 0 doesn't change based on what's around you. What does change its that a heavy car may resist the obstacle more -> longer distance until stop -> longer time to stop -> your head has more time to stop -> lower deceleration force on your head.

I am sixty-five, and I will be retiring soon as a professor at a university in Japan. This has been my second career; previously, I had been a freelancer for twenty years.

In the past twelve years or so, I have supervised about fifteen master’s and Ph.D. students, and I have served on committees for maybe two dozen more. The fields have been linguistics, language education, lexicography, translation studies, etc. Most of the students have been in their twenties, but some have been in their forties or older. One of my students who finished his Ph.D. successfully earlier this year is a year older than me.

Overall, the older students who were admitted to our programs have been more successful at sticking with their studies and eventually finishing. Younger students seem more likely to hit roadblocks in their graduate studies: they might become disillusioned with academia or the prospect of an academic career, or marriage and childbirth might make them need to focus on supporting their family. While life events can interfere with older students’ studies, too—several of my students had to take breaks for a while to take care of an aging parent—overall the older ones seem to have been better able to balance their studies with their personal lives.

The life and work experience that the older students bring with them is, overall, a plus both for them and for the younger students they interact with. It often takes time, though, for older students to learn how to think more abstractly and objectively about issues they dealt in the workplace. Often their motivation for graduate study is to study some practical problem they dealt with at work, and they often think that they already know the solution. Getting them to think about the issue as a researcher and to realize that their research should contribute not only practical solutions but also deeper theoretical insights has sometimes been a challenge for me. But, overall, the older students have been quite successful, and I have enjoyed working with them.
And this is the exact reason why additional regulation is necessary. Because each individual would pick the option that minimizes their own risk, while maximizing the total risk, the choice cannot be left to individual choices.
It is easier to have something like a zebra thermal printer with an RFID in the label, print new, and replace.

The e-ink ones that can be updated via the power of the devices, often are scrambled from any Hi-RF devices, including airport security scans, the likelihood of this becoming a practical technological use for this product seems highly unlikely.
> really solve the problem.

What is your solution?
Thanks for sharing. Can you say a little bit more about what prompted you to make this?
Well I have a 2013 Hatch. 1.4t GVM. Up a few hundred kg from the 2003 Sedan I had prior at 1.1t GVM. The vehicles I'm regularly driving with/around/near SUVs that are almost an entire ton heavier at approx 2200kg. Driven by people that have the observational skills of an ex-parrot.

Terrifying.
I lived that sort of childhood for different reasons, and it was trying at times, though I didn't hate it. Life-long friendships are nice.

I don't think vanlife necessarily means a life of roaming the country without a stable location. For example, I spent most of my van living within the same couple of cities, more than half in just one.

The other thing I want to say is that the factory model of education is on its way out, and I personally would not send my child to a public school if I had a choice to home-school. Socializing and making friends is important, and I think there are better ways to socialize and make friends than in a prison-like forced boredom complex.

What's the alternative? Should he choose to risk dying in a crash for the nebulous greater good of lowering the average size of vehicles on the road? This problem will not be solved by individual drivers acting against their own self-interest. It needs to be solved at a societal level, probably with regulations on maximum vehicle size (which already exist, but are being worked around by mfrs)

Signed, A Miata driver. If I ever get in a wreck, I'm guaranteed to lose, but at least I'll go out in style.
My understanding was that buses don't have seatbelts for two reasons:

* Per capita and per mile, buses are far safer than personal automobiles.

* When buses do get in accidents, seatbelts are more of a hazard than a safety feature (e.g. by preventing impaired riders from fleeing the vehicle on their own).

The latter doesn't apply to personal vehicles to the same degree, since they're preventing fatalities in different types of crashes for the latter (e.g. being flung out of the front window).
Higher liability minimums would be very regressive making support tepid among the demographics who usually want really high taxes.
If there is interest from State voters, amend State constitution to prohibit this. Probably people don't care about surveillance.
Feels like a bit of a cheap shot to be right online.

I’m not saying I have a solution either but not acknowledging that it’s a systemic problem is fairly thought ending.
>Zig already encourages you to pass the allocator around as a value.

That has nothing to do with what I said. I said the Allocator is not part of the type. An ArrayList(u8) is the same as another ArrayList(u8) regardless of what allocator they use.

>How is that more busywork?

Write a function that operates on any ArrayList(u8). It doesn't need to be generic itself. If the Allocator was part of the type it would also need to be generic. And its caller would need to be generic, and so on.

>Rust's issue is not really related. They added the generic after 1.0 and so it needed to have a default for backwards compatibility.

False. std::io::Read::read_to_end takes a Vec<u8>. It cannot be changed to take a Vec<u8, A> because that would require read_to_end to be generic on A, which cannot be done because that would make std::io::Read no longer be object-safe.

And to be clear, the point is not that std::io::Read can't change without being backward-compatible. The point is about needing to be generic on the allocator causes all sorts of problems, eg the infectious genericity (which also affects Zig) and the lack of object-safe-ness.
One interesting question is how this trend will end. Possibilities:

- Cars get larger and larger forever until cars get abolished for some other reason.

- There's some natural limit on how large a car can get and all cars will eventually converge on that limit.

- Something happens (what?) that changes the trend and suddenly they become smaller again.
I get a SERVFAIL from what I presume to be systemd-resolved for both. When querying my router or 8.8.8.8 directly with dig, both work.
I'm more confused why people are outraged at me wanting to protect my own life, or that I would need to feel judged for driving a bigger car. I'm a responsible driver and a regular citizen.
Nonsense. Reducing waste in one way does not preclude reducing waste in other ways. It's like saying that you might as well coutinue smoking because you are still drinking.
There is also safety in a more maneuverable car. I went from a pickup truck to a Fusion (hybrid), and I've been able to steer clear of situations easier in it than the bigger truck. Also since I can't see past the SUV in front of me, I tend to back off and give more following space. If that causes other cars to try to cut in the open spot in front of me, then that causes me to back off further where I end up in a pocket behind the pack.

Also there is the concept of "safe enough". If you are on an expressway, what are the chances of a head-on accident? And although getting t-boned at an intersection may often be the other driver's fault, being hyper-vigilant can help there too (although it gets exhausting constantly looking out for the other driver).

What I'm really hoping for is that some minimal level of driver automation features become standard -- things like emergency braking, lane assist that yells at you when your driving deteriorates (so drivers realize they are getting to sleepy to drive), etc. The automatic braking alone would have prevented the last three accidents I witnessed in this past year (the most recent was a 5-car chain reaction that was most likely caused by a driver staring at a cell phone instead of the long line of stopped traffic in front of them).
The course description states that this is intended for senior as a capstone course, hopefully that help clarifies.

Whenever there's an access issue, someone posts a workaround. The argument for making an exception for some bot has to be stronger than 'takes something that isn't broken and fixes it so it's clunkier and noisier'. The entire premise that it's 'enabling easier access' just not well-supported by what one can easily see by reading HN threads.
It's also how selfishness works.
Saw my first Hummer EV this week. 9000 lbs and 0-60 in 3 seconds. My best hope for not dying is that they drive carefully because they don’t want to dent their $100,000 mall crawler. Yikes.
Are you still talking about logging?

Anyways, would love to hear more about your clever queries, even if it's OT.
Sadly probably serious. Taxing bigger cars to the point it's noticeable to average driver is probably only realistic solution, even if that's unfair for people that just happen to have a bunch of kids

Ask HN: How do you find the weird parts of the web?
I used to have an easier time finding truly weird material to read on the web. Things like:

subgenius.com
timecube.2enp.com

Things on the fringes of sanity, or sometimes far over the line.

Any resources for finding material that is way out there, but manages to steer clear of hateful/racist/bigoted patterns of thought?
Do things you like doing, and don't do things you don't like doing. Boom

You don't.

Let them learn C when they need to use C. Consider it a specialist language that is only used for certain tasks, like Fortran or COBOL -- not something everybody has to know.
Instead of percentages I’d love to see these as something like “monthly active users”.

Jago: A life underwater [1]. It's been a while so I'll refer to the synopsis [2]:
"JAGO: A LIFE UNDERWATER is the story of Rohani - an 80-year-old hunter who hobbles around on land but who dives like a fish on a single breath descending to great depths for several minutes to stalk his prey like a true underwater predator."

I have found the life story of Rohani incredibly humbling and his connection to the sea unique. He lived on it. He lived in it. The images pictured this relation in such a way that left me mesmerized. The human aspect of the documentary is worth it by itself, but if you want some stunning underwater images, you are in for a treat.

About "You are not expected to understand this:"

> So we tried to explain what was going on [in the listing]. "You are not expected to understand this" was intended as a remark in the spirit of "This won't be on the exam," rather than as an impudent challenge.

> The real problem is that we didn't understand what was going on either. The savu/retu mechanism for doing process exchange was fundamentally broken because it depended on switching to a previous stack frame and executing function return code in a different procedure from the one that saved the earlier state. This worked on the PDP-11 because its compiler always used the same context-save mechanism; with the Interdata compiler, the procedure return code differed depending on which registers were saved.

Similar trickery can be found with the RETF instruction in x86 processors. With the 8086, it was the fastest way to do an indirect far calls (in x86 jargon, a call that can address more than 64K of memory), since there's no way to do it using just registers. It pops the address from the stack, then the code segment/selector, and jumps to there. Simple, right?

This caused havoc in later processors when RETF got optimized. The new processors predict that RETF will always, well... return, and preload instructions based on that assumption. If it was used as a far call, it would reliabily ruin the instruction cache, making it actually quite a slow way to do far calls.
How do you implement arena allocators in that situation? Or allocate from a fixed-size buffer?

{
var arena = std.heap.ArenaAllocator.init(std.heap.page_allocator);
defer arena.deinit(); // All allocations made by the above allocator will be freed at the end of scope
const allocator = arena.allocator();

var i = 0;
while (i < 1000000) : (i += 1) {
_ = try allocator.create(i32);
}
// all allocations are freed
}

var buffer: [1000]u8 = undefined;
var fba = std.heap.FixedBufferAllocator.init(&buffer);
const allocator = fba.allocator();

// the allocator will return an address inside of `buffer`
_ = try allocator.create([512]u8);

Another option is new smaller models get introduced and begin their own lifecycle of bloating. For example the Honda HRV is roughly the same size and price point as the CRV was originally.
That’s the cool thing about insurance, it doesn’t have to be popular - you have a risk you’d like to cover, here’s what it costs you
also maneuverability. If another SUV from the opposite side of the road gets in your lane, good luck avoiding it with a fast reaction.
That’s not law. It might be how the EU manages their own ccTLD, and there may be an EU rule for it, but it isn’t a transnational law. For example:

Honestly it seems like a weird take to say people should care more about strangers than their own family.

As long as SUVs exist on the road I feel like it’s a safety benefit for my family to have a similarly sized vehicle to protect my wife and child. I can’t control what others do but I can control what I do to keep my family safe.
Sometimes, a tax can effectively be insurance for liability.

Sin taxes, e.g. alcohol or tobacco tax, in part help pay for the social cost of those activities.

We're talking about an incentive structure. Whether that's liability insurance or a direct tax, the goal is the same: to disincentivize unnecessarily dangerous road vehicles.
Sure, it is. I have an SUV, because everyone else here has pickup trucks, and almost nobody can drive to save their own goddamn lives let alone mine. If raised trucks were not allowed, I would drive a sedan.

Sort of loosely related.

when I first streamed netflix years ago - my queue was full of 5-star movies and shows to watch.

As I worked my way through my queue I developed a pattern. Everything I hadn't watched became 5-star documentaries.

I would develop "documentary fatigue" where there were so many well-documented, well produced and important issues to learn about, that I would quickly saturate and at that point I wouldn't watch documentaries anymore.

I would literally put 2-star scifi movies with unbelievable monsters or cataclysms before all the 5-star documentaries.

Drivers are often not found liable for hitting pedestrians in the US even when it is clear that an error on the part of the driver caused the accident, so liability insurance is not actually capturing those externalities.

However, laws automatically holding drivers liable by default for accidents with pedestrians unless there were clear extenuating circumstances, as some other countries, might be another way to change this situation so that this risk could be better captured by liability insurance.
