> “Round ’em all up and let the judge sort it out” doesn’t square with the Fourth Amendment.

Why wouldn't it? The fourth amendment covers _unreasonable_ seizure.

> but to make an arrest, a higher standard must be met: the officer needs probable cause that the suspect has committed a crime.

The vehicle is reported stolen. You are found in possession of it. That's probable cause.

> I’d expect an officer at least to try to contact the rental car company to confirm the situation

How do you propose they do that? Check the paperwork? How do they know it's accurate and not forged? How do they know they've reached the appropriate agency? How do they know if the person they're contacting through the paperwork would have any authority of the reporting of the vehicles status?

You're expecting a lot to be available to an officer that just isn't. The best they could do is directly call the reporting party back and tell them that this person claims it isn't stolen and is a mistake on their end.. and if they say "it's not a mistake, it's definitely stolen?"

The police should do what at that point?

This is why we have courts with evidentiary standards and formal procedures that are defined in law. You cannot expect an officer in the field to be capable of maintaining those same standards.
Almost all at-home gas usage is after the sun has gone down, as a result the vast majority of the electricity used for the alternative would be generated from natural gas not just 38%.

Canola oil is basically fine, but it wouldn't be my first choice. As I said, I was willing to tolerate ingesting significant quantities of it on a daily basis.

When I refer to it as low-quality, I mean by comparison to my preferred fats (olive oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter, animal fats).

I think it gets an undeservedly bad reputation due to conflation with Mazola (corn oil), which is 59% PUFA. Canola is 28% PUFA. It's not a high-quality fat, but it's far from the worst.

schroeding also covered this in their reply to your comment, but "just create a new Google account" is much harder than it sounds. I did this for my Sony TV out of a vague paranoia of Google having access to my living room (I de-googled much of my online presence already, and didn't want to invite Google back in). I remember it took a very long time to get past all of the friction Google puts in place to create an account without a phone number.

The difference between that experience and creating a fitbit account is night and day.

Late reply so I dunno if you'll notice this, but I think you'd enjoy reading about Keele's Constant Beamwidth Transducer line array design.

Err, world is not black and white, one can come up with various strategies how to do backups and end up very very fine in 99,99% of the situations, which is perfectly fine for vast majority of use cases. And even giants like Google and Amazon dont guarantee that much above this.

You mention laws and thats the core problem and its naive to just rely on them. Corporations are profit-first, bonus-first, and employ progressively more sociopaths as you move up the management hierarchy. This is simple sad fact regardless of industry or country.

Those folks see laws as obstacles, and unfortunately often try to game them. The results are basically all the fines big banks face from regulators, financial crises, endless internet privacy issues and so on. People just gaming well intended rules for their own profit.

plus re laws - we don't have judiciary hegemony over whole Earth. Corporations move their activities to weakest jurisdictions immediately, ie Ireland for taxes from Europe. Or they do pay minimal taxes in US. DOn't expect privacy to be handled better by default.

> Each function becomes something new that needs to stick in your brain.

But if you don't put it in a separate function, then all that code becomes something that you have no choice but look at as part of this function, because the text of it is right there in the function.

Sticking part of the code in a sub-function gives you the choice: Do I trust that this function does what it says, with no other effects that I have to worry about? Or do I go look at it to make sure?

But not sticking the code in a sub-function gives you no choice - it's right there as part of the function you're looking at, and you have to see what that code is doing as part of understanding the function. And having that code not in a separate function makes it more likely that it has side effects that can mess up the rest of the function (separate functions is a firewall against side effects).
I wrote this on my phone. Hopefully it makes sense.

No templating language is going to beat a general purpose programming language as far as features go.

There’s no technical limitation of templated languages that would bar them from having the same functionality as a general purpose language. Whoever is designing the templated language is probably not going to design something as powerful as a general purpose language.

Angular built a specific set of keywords to include higher order components. React did no such thing — they exist for free because it’s all just JS. You could imagine that there are other patterns that exist in JS that you can’t express in Angular because it doesn’t have all of the flexibility of JS.

From your example you showed that you used TS to create your component, essentially using an escape hatch from Angulars templating language to do what you want. You don’t have to escape from React, because you’re already in JS.

I haven’t used Angular in a while, but I have been using Vue recently. The difference is huge. I can’t (easily) put a Vue component in a stack. I have to learn Vues syntax that will have zero transfer when I go to another framework, whereas React is just JavaScript (JSX does change some HTML attributes, but it is generally 1:1).

To close, I don’t think React is required to be productive or write good UI. I just really like it because there’s no magic going on. It’s just syntactic sugar over JS.
> In your research area, is there a significant textbook or summary paper you would recommend that summarises current findings well?

It depends on what you're referring to by "research area". My focus is specific to novel CS exercises like typing exercises, Parsons Problems, coding problems, etc. In that regard I really like Teaching Tech Together [1] as a broad, here's a blanket review of CS education and its exercises. If you mean more generally to just CS Education, then Teaching Tech is still starting point I think, as it provides a nice literature review of the domain as well.

[1] http://teachtogether.tech/

> What would you recommend to a complete amateur orienting themselves?

It'll depend (again) on what you mean here. If you mean learning about CS Education research, then the link above will be great. Then its about going down rabbit holes from the citations to read in more detail about those findings.

If you mean simply learning CS, the biggest recommendation I can make is carve out 1-4 hours a week (depending on your schedule) and commit to learning to code via MOOCs, tutorials, videos etc. Find a CS1 syllabus from a university that has a schedule on it and follow that. A lot of learning can be traced back to "time on task". Ignoring the recent HN post about how years of experience doesn't equal most skilled coders, that article is looking at what research calls "experts" vs. "novices" (beginners). We know spaced repetition works, we know cramming (trying to learn it all immediately) doesn't. Following the syllabus' schedule will space out your learning, force you to recall the information, and produce better learning in the long run.

The idea is to make it a part of your weekly "routine" to the point where if you DON'T do it, you feel weird. For example, I've trained martial arts for 15+ years. Somewhere in that time, I'm so used to going to train that when I take nights off, its weird because I'm just USED to training. Even my body wakes up cause its used to needing adrenaline. That needs to be a part of any learning process.

What's funny is that a few years ago there was a camera 'rental' company much like Uber, where you lent out your gear.

There was several issues, one of which was the great lengths they went to imply that your gear was insured, only to find out its not, because insurers considered it "unlawful taking" not theft or fraud, if it wasn't returned. It should be noted that "unlawful taking", despite the name, is not a crime or legal concept, but purely an insurance concept. As a result, somehow, they'd convince the police that this was a civil matter.

Yet somehow, refuse to return (or be accused of refusing to return rather) a vehicle gets you lit up for Grand Theft Auto, which is most certainly a crime.

There's something inherently contradictory about needing a blog post that itself needs the approval of long-dead Frenchmen to justify wandering. The irony is that they are assigning a purpose to this activity without realizing it: that you have to engage with it because it's "natural" and in contradiction to parts of modern culture.

You don't "need to wander". Wandering is something that you may or may not do, but you don't need specific tech companies and products to stop existing, other people to modify their behavior, or a cultural precedent to inform your behavior for that to happen.

Oh, my mistake; you're quite correct that it's not a proper rolling release. I still think that it's a step forward for drivers, but yeah that's still a significant lag especially when Arch is in the running. Didn't know about the OEM kernels, either; that's a nice touch for what hardware it supports.
Have you seen Monterey benchmarks when compared to identical Linux hardware? Performance for server applications and IO-constrained operations favor Linux consistently.
I wrote a simple double entry bookkeeping program for myself, and I wanted to use as accurate terminology as possible. My native language is Swedish, and we have a word for the task of categorizing statements into accounts. Basically, when you look at a recipt and tell "this is for inventory, then I will use account X." In the past, you then wrote that down with a pen in a kind of inverted-T table that you had stamped on the receipt.
The Swedish word for that activity is "kontera", loosely translated to "accounting". But in English that is the word for the entire activity of keeping books up to date. Is there a word for the specialized task of identifying the accounts?

Edit: Wikipedia has articles for this word in Swedish, Danish and German. But no other languages. Puzzling.
I like soy. I use soybeans in my cooking often. I agree that it's probably fine, but I still wouldn't go out of my way to use soy as my primary protein source given the existence of lower-risk alternatives.
Yup, much as it was a pain in the ass, renting from Hertz at Dulles airport showed that they're quite capable of tracking things. Gates in and out with barriers, cameras, LPR systems. Guy handed us an ipad as we pulled up that already had the plate and info from our car. And similar on return.

I don't need every rental place to operate like a busy international airport, but they absolutely can track that effectively.
I agree with your statement. HN can be pretty thoughtful, so I posted in hopes to read outside his echo chamber.
I won't address "performance capacity" directly since it's too broad and vague, but it is plausible that there is diminished learning as we age. Think about learning new spoken languages. There's evidence to back the idea up in that context [0]. At the same time a 40 year old will likely have a higher proficiency at their language(s) than a 20 year old. This analogy exaggerates the idea (the trade-off) but I don't see why it wouldn't apply to programming languages as well. And this isn't ageism.

Yes, but once you are using Power BI you have lost the friendly interface the op described for categorising transactions, ie it is not a simple spreadseet any more.

In many cities, arrests are tracked, as are successful prosecutions. But by a curious anomaly the number of dropped prosecutions is not, or those later released without charge. I guess that's not an important metric. Maybe to us, not to the PD.

I think the biggest and also least attributable benefit of it was it enabled the Venicians of Venice (iirc?) to create money, outside of what hard currency allowed at a time and with it opened the world of financing.

By create money I mean the same way your bank today creates money anytime it finds a willing and credit worthy borrower.

Double entry book keeping basically invented the concept of ledger money which is pretty much the “money” we use today. It enabled elasticity of the money supply where elasticity was lacking.

This was weird to read personally. I used chocolate in all kinds of ways for extreme weight loss, so "fooled millions into thinking" certainly has the subjectively-not-correct feel to it. But the headline also does a great job of leaving this open question of, "but in the end chocolate is really not a weight loss tool, right?"

"Right?" (Anakin stare)

When I was wrapping up my first big cut, I was feasting on boxes of chocolate bars that I found on clearance at local stores. There is nothing quite like watching the scale numbers go down while you eat junk food. My BMI entered the "normal" zone while I was literally eating like a kid in a candy store.

These days, I still buy chocolate bars and try to keep them stocked up. I also buy cacao powder and add it to my coffee with some salt and low-calorie sweetener, in lieu of breakfast. It can provide a really awesome calorie-efficient uplift for those of us who are sensitive to cacao.

So, stuff like this really stood out:

> Testing bitter chocolate as a dietary supplement was his idea. When I asked him why, Frank said it was a favorite of the “whole food” fanatics. “Bitter chocolate tastes bad, therefore it must be good for you,” he said. “It’s like a religion.”

It just seems like the kind of anecdote you'd want to avoid. Like why not use some science to identify a population & a practice? Or is part of the follow-up also going to point out "plus we just ran with somebody's anecdote to get the ball rolling lol"?
I use nix but, as a user of Common Lisp, I’d much rather use guix: the main blocker for me is that nix supports macOS and guix refuses to for ideological reasons.

Heat pump water heaters are drastically more energy efficient. Also, there are immediate air quality improvements from not burning fracked gas in your home. Also, recent research has shown that methane leaks happen far more than previously realized at every stage of the natural gas ecosystem, from initial extraction to pipelines to refining to residential usage, and every gram of methane is equivalent to something like 30 grams of CO2, so you need to consider the massive savings in warming from reducing that systemic leakage.

Finally, it's important to get these processes started immediately. It's still going to take decades for this policy to result in the millions of houses updating their equipment, and we might be down to a far smaller percent of grid power coming from fossil fuels by then.

I recently integrated the self-hosted EmulatorJS (https://github.com/EmulatorJS/EmulatorJS) into my Web Desktop daedalOS (https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS). Has worked really well with controls on mobile and added a ton of emulator support to my "OS". All the emulators are wasm/asmjs ports from Libretro, I believe.
If you do get back to this project, you'd be better off with an X rated capacitor instead of a resistor. Lower power consumption, and it's explicitly rated to be across the line. I'd add a small fast acting fuse, as well.
You don't have to pay the Intel premium so you get better performance/$. I would be willing to bet AWS uses Graviton internally for many of their services like S3, DynamoDB, et. One thing to keep in mind is that ARM doesn't support Hyperthreading so you get twice the number of cores than with x86.
"Free" is in fact one of the axes along which "better" can be measured.
To be fair this matches up well with Rust's general error management style. Everything seems to add another level of nesting, and often adding another function isn't worth the pain of the borrow checker for local vars.
>As long as 38% of electricity is being generated from natural gas, banning natural gas usage in homes is silly.

Generating electricity in a large gas power plant, transmitting that electricity over vast differences, and then turning that electricity into heat, motive power, or light is much, MUCH **MUUUUUUUCH** more efficient than piping gas all over the place and burning the gas in homes.

By, like, a lot.

With gas burners the vast majority of energy is wasted, blasted out into the ambient air. In a turbine it is almost all turned into whatever is desired. Once at the home immersed heating elements or inductive elements turn most of the electricity into what is desired.

Transmission losses are irrelevantly small compared to the astronomically huge increases in efficiency of the endpoints.

Same goes for cars. Even if power plants used gasoline, which they don’t, it would be more efficient to burn the gasoline to generate electricity in huge generators, transmit the electricity a thousand miles, and use it to charge batteries in EVs.

If a house doesn’t have the capacity to switch to electric, subsidize improvements. If the grid can’t handle it, fix it.

Don’t just throw up your hands and go “well we tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”
Apropos of the principle of this, most car rental companies these days are above capacity most, if not all the time.

You're lucky to get your car class. You're lucky if you don't have to wait around for it, or for it to be cleaned (last rental I had, "hasn't been returned yet and should have". There was no suggestion that they call the renter, and after about 20 minutes of being ignored, I said to call me when it came in. It came in 2 1/2 hours later.)

What's more, this is entirely of their own making, because most of those companies, or franchises or whatever, have decided to sell as much of their rental stock while they can make good profits. Only person it sucks for is you.
That EU agreement is only for 10 years, starting from 2019. So it’s got 7 years before expiring?
