Why Ukraine does not block the gas pipeline that runs through their territory? This is the profit that Putin receives and spends on the needs of the army?
Even if there are classes, it's almost surely that they are NOT going to be evening classes. In Canada we have vocational schools and you can have full training for 1-1.5 years, but the problem is, how do I do it when I have a full-time job?

Maybe YouTube videos work too, but I really do not have confidence changing toilets or laying out my own plank wood. Like, how many times do I renovate in my LIFE? Probably just 3-4 times, so if I fuck up once I pretty much take away all values from the other 2-3.
> We stopped repairing stuff because stuff is cheap

However, OP's main example is the NYC metro system, which is decidedly not cheap. A similar problem occurred in SF: BART cars are being replaced with multi-$M cars full of electronics & are now having numerous breakdowns.

BART drivers used to reboot the old trains by flipping 4 sets of switches. Now the reset process has hundreds of steps, so most drivers just take the car offline & call for a mechanic. And there's far more failure modes to the new cars as well. Thus: the new cars are more expensive, more fragile, & harder to maintain. BART scored a perfect 'Reverse Better-Faster-Cheaper'.

How did this happen? Politics & payola. The new proposed cars were barely shown to the public, & only for UX/design feedback.

The tie-in's to capitalism that OP describes are apt too: very big companies tendered their bids for these new cars. Maintainability wasn't a key design feature. It's not just our economic system (capitalism) that isn't interested in maintainability- our political system isn't either. Decision makers who won't be in power to see the need for their shiny new acquisitions to be maintained, never seen to care that they will.

No, the main part is the leather. Not all the cork was replaced either, it was just firmed up. Regardless, it's still lasted twice as long as a resole (and I didn't have to break them in) for half the price of new, and they're still going strong.
IDK about the details underlying the argument (whether the contract is actually structured this way, etc.), but https://mobile.twitter.com/nierobmitak/status/15747490369129... mentioned the possibility that the contracts entail fines for non-delivery (which they might not have to pay if the pipeline is unusable).

This entire war has been an exercise in Ukraine using other people's resources to attack Russia. If they wanted to I'm sure the US and Ukraine could figure out how to get this done.
Cabin usability and ergonomics are a huge selling point. CarPlay & HUDs are just one piece of that, but it a critical piece of the overall usability experience.

Getting into a car that has a pre-CarPlay infotainment system feels like stepping back decades in time even though the car may only be a few years old. Slow, unresponsive, buggy, and just extremely unpleasant and unnatural to use.

IMO, cars that predate screen-based infotainment systems have aged far better than pre-CarPlay systems. OEMs are just disastrously bad and behind the times at building a quality infotainment system. Mirroring the smartphone that everyone already has is a fantastic solution.

It's a very good thing that CarPlay shifts so much of the responsibility out of the car and into the smartphone, something that is much more easily and frequently upgraded.
As far as I know the UK is the only place that has special varieties of apple for cooking. Cooking apples are usually large, tart and cook to a pulp. There are many varieties but Bramley is by far the most common.
This is not an act in the same level as the Ukraine-Russia war. This is a very top level geopolitical attack. This appears to be in international waters so it will be interesting when forensic results are published.

It can not possibly be in Russia's interest. They could easily nix NS2 at source. And now, even if diplomacy or desperation brings Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine, NS2 is out of commission for a long time. Does not compute.

US and UK certainly did not want NS2 and Biden did promise to "end it" if Russia invaded Ukraine. And the same day a Polish pipeline opens. But this is exceptionally risky if forensics turns up evidence that points to them. For one, it's an act of war against a fellow NATO member (Germany) and Russia; two, it sets a precedent that an island nation such as UK (with a lot of strategic pipes running in and out of it under Atlantic) can ill afford. So the risk factor seems to argue against that (though motive and who-benefits are clearly there).

Germany? It is possible that German deep state is not united. There are Atlantists and those who assert that German and Russian coexistence is optimal. The former faction could have done this to basically close that temptation/option to German government.

So that last group is imo the most likely culprit. [Honest question: if CIA acts covertly with say German special services (and not telling the guy in DC, you know, "need to know" and all that /g) and they do this, does that technically mean US committed an act of war or only CIA?]

p.s. whoever did this, it is a great advertisement for LNG delivered by ship escorted by blue water navies. This event just showed that gaspipelines are not and can not be strategically reliable energy conduits. They are trivially taken out of commission and repair (even if possible) will require great deal of time and resources to complete.
Ask HN: Feedback on my side project that helps people find forums?
listforums.com

I'm trying to make a search engine for finding small, niche, internet forums and communities.

I have an early working version of the site (listforums.com) and would appreciate feedback and advice on whether this idea is worth pursuing further and any features I should add/change. Thanks!
Whoa, congratulations and thank you for releasing the source. That video is absolutely stunning!
Since this advisory is cross platform, I expect it just lets you execute code in the application context.

Yep. Some startup guy in the chat widget space basically used me as free consulting under the premise of hiring for a job. The joke's on him because I'm at one of the MAANG's now as an SRE equivalent.
My trash pickup is included in my rent, but to take out the trash involves walking 500 feet accross the property, which turns out is a lot of effort carrying tens of pounds of awkward trash.

So I make less trash now. That cheese danish in the store looks tasty, but the plastic clamshell packaging is incredibly space inefficient as trash, so I'll buy the cookies instead, they're in easy to compact paper boxes. Maybe you think I'm putting a burden on myself but I didn't need either the danish or the cookies in the first place!

2021 only had 18 civilian deaths in that region, of which 11 were caused by mines. 79% of casualties were in separatist areas and 21% in Ukrainian controlled territory. That is a good enough reason to kill thousands and thousand, make millions of Ukrainian children flee their homes? Level entire cities?

Had the exact same thing happen, yeah. One person interviewed on camera and used their ID for employment verification (EVerify/I-9). Someone else was joining meetings instead, initially with their camera off, and then when confronted and turned camera on, was DEFINITELY not the same person.

That's another weird thing about today's progressives, literally putting workplace before family - aren't you guys supposed to be socialists? The alternative is for Sally, her boss and their coworkers to accept that romance can be impractical, inconvenient and embarrassing. But, if there is any chance at all that two people can find lasting happiness, a slim chance that I would have gotten that raise instead is a distant secondary priority. I will just insist on what I think I deserve and not obsess about others. Or if someone grants sexual favors for actual or perceived career benefit, it's on them to measure their self worth in this way. Or if the boss is willing to forego a sweetheart to avoid some office gossip and jealousy...
I had something similar happen to me a few years back. Someone using my photo and profile from my personal site and uploaded it to upwork to get contract work. I found out b/c someone hired them for a contract (thinking they were me) and got suspicious. The employer found my real email on my site and contacted me. Not sure what I can do to prevent it. I put a warning on my site saying to look out for impersonators.
> scrutinizing everything and spot-checking work

Which leads to another paradox (that I think I first saw Joel Spolsky point out, but I can't find the reference). Business software - and consulting services - always costs $20 either or $200,000. If it costs $20, you just buy it and use it. Once it gets over a certain price point - around $1000 or so - it requires approvals before it can be purchased. This leads to vendors having to develop full in-house departments dedicated to navigating those approval processes, so the price of the software has to be hiked to account for the additional headcount.

Best Buy’s is really dumb they just hide products they have in stock. Like I tried to buy a new release game and they were all hidden and it looked like it was sold out. It was a poor strategy
Working in the industry, I can confirm that the above numbers are approximately correct except for the employee costs -- those are roughly double and up. You also need to hire a fund administrator, auditors and compliance firms (maybe $50k to $100k per year each) which add on even more costs. And you can't skip the lawyers, outside administrator, outside compliance, etc. as they are required by regulations/law.
Many journals (including a lot of the nature ones) are requiring data and code on publication now

Part of the problem is that as far as I can tell it’s on the reviewers to flag noncompliance, and a lot of times groups won’t actually publish code and datasets before the paper is accepted and assigned a DOI.

So really it’s a culture change around the whole publishing process that’s needed, IMO
Five years ago I would have been sympathetic to the OP, but not really anymore. Just running the numbers, if a person interviews at ten companies the odds are very high they will come across multiple companies with shady, broken, or manipulative hiring practices.

Something like that was tried with a word processor created in the 90s called Yeah Write, but it never really caught on. Maybe there isn't much demand for that, especially for the use case you mentioned.
Just to add to your list for completeness sake:

* China -- Ensures they continue to be the beneficiary of cheap RU gas, which considering their current economic woes, I imagine it is a pretty big deal for them. Broadly, they dislike the Ukraine war because it reduces stability in the region and resulted in deeper western resolve, but strategically a weakened Russia and cheap energy are both beneficial to their interests.
If you find bad cooked apple texture off-putting, as Kenji does, then it doesn't help to mix flavorful bad-textured apples into your pie, because you're going to end up with some amount of off-putting texture; better, according to this approach, to satisfice on flavor and optimize on texture.

I guess its the lack of a killer app for the 286? Was there much software for DOS that actually needed a 286 as a minimum? I get the impression they were often just used as "fast XTs".

Some of this is due to various limitations that make using the new features of the 286 in DOS a pain (or putting major DOS compatibility limitations on OS/2 1.x, which is probably partly why no-one used OS/2 at the time).

The 386 had features that were actually used like 32 bit support and a protected mode that could actually work alongside DOS. Plus its around this time you got Windows 3.x in 386 Enhanced Mode, which is around the point Windows actually becomes a thing people use. So you get a lot more apps that basically require a 386, rather than the generic mass of DOS software that runs on just about anything beforehand.
Woah nice.

> The main reason is because developers in Western countries can demand higher rates. Just watch out for the red flags ... incorrect accent, etc.

At least in America, that's not a valid tell. There are tons of developers in Western countries that have foreign accents.
Earlier this year I was part of technical screening interviews but in two interviews we noticed the interviewee being given the answers during the call. They would wear airpods but have their teams device set to the laptop speaker / mic. Someone on our side heard the second voice coming from the airpods and we killed the interview.

We can try to detect / avoid it in the future but ultimately my takeaway is to avoid generic question lists for remote technical interviews, and instead try to hammer into one of their projects.
I find the idea of "Passive Philanthropy" revolutionary. This would be the first model to demonstrate such a concept. That alone is worth the effort IMHO

I've spent 30+ years designing and engineering consumer and medical products, mostly for high volume production. While I detest working on projects I consider "instant landfill", the reality is that so much of our built society whether it be a toy car, a mobile phone, or a house, is designed to appeal to consumers. Consumers who want their phone to be light, waterproof, beautiful and more powerful than the last one they bought, and at the lowest price possible. Prioritizing things like that means that a lot is invested in specialized equipment, fixtures, and training for the labor force which manufactures their new shiny object. Duplicating that equipment and expertise is next to impossible on the scale of maintenance. Maintenance is more of a craft. Think about your local car mechanic vs the factory which produced the car in the first place.

Even in the factories where your new shiny consumer electronics products are produced, when Chinese News Year is over, and a bunch of the staff turns over, getting the production line up and running again with the same quality is challenging. Despite there being documented standard operating procedures, incoming and outgoing quality checks, etc... there's a lot which is tribal knowledge and muscle memory of the operators. Even if things are highly automated (and you'd be shocked how much is done by hand despite all those magical How It's Made videos), those machines need to be adjusted and tuned to keep from producing junk. This is all to say that so many things are on the hairy edge of working well. They're not always so easy to disassemble and reassemble without destroying seals, alignment, calibration etc.

To a degree, some of this can be blamed on products becoming more and more electronic and miniaturized, but the reality is that so many things involve inseparable assemblies (whether it's an heirloom chair glued out of wood, a PCBA, the drywall in your house, or a welded and painted autobody). While there are rework techniques for these, they're never the same as following the normal process in the factory.

If you're hoping to have a well intentioned, successful argument with NIMBY folks, this is _not_ the way to do so.

The problem is that the entire regulator framework produces self-serving bad faith on the part of NIMBYs, making argument impossible despite these people seeming like nice, reasonable types.

The idea is that a developer offers a design and the locals lodge their objections and if the developer can satisfy these objections, the development proceeds. But when the real goal of the homeowner is no develop at all 'cause any development reduces the value of their home (via supply and demand) then the homeowner learns to offer a wide series of unmeetable demands. This means the only change that's going to happen is change that's imposed by an outside entity like The State of California (if that does happen).
Hi Felipe,

Thank you so much for your effort on this - this looks like an absolute god send for people looking to build intuition while carrying out self directed learning.

Does the software have capacity to simulate electric circuits as well? For example - if one were to design an alternate synth keybed with aluminium bars and springs, could you convert the pressure from springs (or similar mechanism) to voltage (and see the voltage on a scope?) i can see things like garage door, and a bunch of things that look like IC chips in your videos. So it looks like it is possible? But i'm not entirely sure.

i guess im asking how realistic it would be to prototype something like a modular synth controller in this software?

EDIT:the website you mentioned is newly created - will you be uploading user manual to the Docs section soon? :)

felder 62/36/2 [0] is a flux-cored solder. So you were using flux every time.

It's also a leaded solder, which is much easier to get nice joints from than lead-free.

Flux is great, adding some before you solder is a good tip, and will likely help you make better joints if as you said, you haven't perfectly cleaned everything. The only downside is perhaps some more cleanup afterwards. There's no reason to disparage it's use.

The iBug will probably be good for some people but horrible for others.

"It just works" is a fine motto, but a lie. Devices often need intervention to work properly or to work at all. Laptops and phones generally require a lot less intervention than cars. Some of us are happy to outsource that labour to others. Some of us are fascinated with how things work and prefer to at least try fixing things ourselves. I have learned from personal experience that Apple is outright hostile to the latter form of folk.

I fully expect an Apple car will have all manner of non-standard screws, fasteners, and parts. It will be technically possible for third party mechanics to deal with, but letting one breathe on your iBug will void the warranty. Just opening the hood will, no doubt, require special tools and break multiple tamper-proof warranty-voiding seals.

If you're happy taking your iBug into an Apple store every time you hear a new noise, you'll be fine with an iBug. If you're the sort who wants to pop the hood and try to track down the problem yourself, then beware!
