Key points:
- Figuring systems out is the largest cost and impediment in software development, and today it relies mostly on manual work.
- Moldable Development is a systematic approach for understanding systems by means of custom tools that we construct for every development problem.
- Moldable Development is like data science but for software development, and it implies new skills: first, the ability to create custom tools; second, and more important, asking explicit questions many times per day and guiding actions through custom tools, for every single development problem.
- Getting dedicated accurate views changes how we make decisions and introduces a new feedback loop in software development.
- The approach is applicable to a wide range of software development problems, such as steering agile architecture, preserving data lineage or even domain discovery.
More sales doesn't mean better, especially considering BMW's offerings are newer. BMW is far superior to Tesla when it comes to the "car" part, as in the materials, build quality and driving dynamics. Same goes for the Taycan. The interior quality and NVH characteristics of a Model S might as well be that of a Corolla when compared to an equally expensive "traditional" luxury car like an S Class. Tesla's powertrains are phenomenal, everything else is mediocre at best. Most people don't know anything about cars and Tesla the default EV to them. I know so many people who never cared about cars suddenly willing to spend 2x the amount they previously did on a car because they want an EV and Tesla is all they know. Most don't know what a $75k+ interior should be, it's just fancier looking than their Hondas and Toyotas they've previously owned. Most don't seem to care about other brands nor are they interested in learning more, just as they felt about cars in general before owning an EV.
"Ancestral genome reconstructions are critical to interpreting where and why selective pressures vary across genomes. This study establishes a clear relationship between chromatin architecture, gene regulation and linkage conservation," says Professor William Murphy, Texas A&M University, who was not an author on the paper. "This provides the foundation for assessing the role of natural selection in chromosome evolution across the mammalian tree of life."

I would add one more conditional to this:

I like your example - Apple II to Apple ARM makes for a very interesting path :)

Personally, I'm running NetBSD on m68030 Mac systems (and Amiga), so comparing them with Apple ARM gives some interesting direct comparisons. I'll have to write them up some day.

> He was 16 yo kid who did a stupid thing playing online.

If chess.com is to be believed this is not the case, and they have informed Niemann about it. According to them Niemann has cheated more often and more recently than he admitted, and lied about it when he made his statement.

> How exactly does that relate to top-level over the board tournament with anti-cheating measures which organizers deemed sufficient

Professional chess has a huge cheating problem: It is very easy to cheat, chess tournaments are under-funded, and anti-cheating measures are expensive. There are worlds between, say, chess and cycling, or chess cheating and card counting.
Thanks for the info. I lived in Ontario for over a decade, and Quebec for half a decade. There were grumblings about a shortage of family doctors even when I was there a decade ago, but I never had any trouble finding a family doctor in the GTA. But it sounds like the situation is quite different in BC and elsewhere.

I'm guessing it's partly a function of where family doctors like to settle? Most of my friends who are family doctors end up in Ontario.

Also, in Ontario, Nurse Practitioners (who often work in partnership with a physician) are able to provide equally good primary care, so the system is actually quite scalable if you're not strictly looking for MDs. In the US, physician assistants and medical assistants often provide primary care. In Canada NPs often fill that role.

If that is the case, then what was the point of the preachy abort() joke, and why did Stallman insist so much on keeping it?
Aside from the fact that I explicitly praised the achievment, my point actually relies on said appreciation.

I guess my musing was hypothetical but I was careless in communicating that. I get that we can't centrally plan innovation or human effort - and I certainly wouldn't want to live in a society where this was the case.
The last poll came out just yesterday[0]. It pointed out to Lula being way ahead of Bolsonaro (50% vs 36% for Lula), but so far it seems that Bolsonaro has a chance of finishing ahead of Lula (46% vs 44% for Bolsonaro so far).

It's the same as in the 2018 elections. I'm neutral in this election, but on this specific topic of election polls, I agree with the conspiracy theorists that something is really off about them.

Ask HN: Where can I find C++ by Example?
I want to spend some spare time and have some fun learning C++, because I respect this language. This is my hobby goal.
Many know about "Go by Example" and "Rust by Example" where I have enjoyed these little experiments and well-written text.
But where can I find something like "C++ by Example"?

Edit 00: What I am looking for is a language tour (I have read Stroustrup's "A tour of C++"), but I want something more interactive.
You sound like you code websites or something.

Real engineers, like say the people who code the machines that fly in mars, don't want "oops that's unexpected, ruin the entire mission because that's safer". Same for the Linux kernel.
I hate corporations being activists so much. That's individuals' role, if you don't vote you don't get to be an activist. In reality this means corporations have loud voices and fat wallets drowning out the small guy's voice and effectively changing democracy to corporocracy. Maybe companies should run for office too then since they are now persons.

But that quote I think is just saying to pick and choose your battles wisely.

You can't blame half of america feeling alienated in their own country when bigcorpo uses their might in every avenue possible to oppose their views (conservatives), despite what you may think of them you still have to share a country with the people you disagree with. People shouldn't have to fight or have political discourse against companies, it should be individuals that debate, discuss and influence political outcomes in a democracy.

Perhaps we are now in a neo-feudalist society?
This isn't the odd part for me.

The part I'm curious about is how will militaries manage the change?

It's clear fuel isn't going to disappear but will the military or the government end up refining their own petrol for cost reasons or will they just end up shipping around batteries as if they were fuel.
It is. How many people do you know that have turned things around, i am guessing not many.
You can get those vitamins from other vegetables that are less deleterious. Even beef contains pretty much everything you need but without the liver toxicity of fructose.

As far as antioxidants go, yeah... those are totally overrated. The human body, with the exception of Vitamin C, creates its own antioxidants. Adding exogenous antioxidants isn't particularly beneficial and can also come with some drawbacks. Any benefit you get from fruit antioxidants is outweighed by fructose. Sure, feel good about getting some anthocyanins and whatever from the occasional blueberries, but by no means do you need those, and don't pound blueberries every single day.
Are you saying Grab is as big as Google, and because someone at Grab can help you, that it's NOT the case that Google is too big to communicate? If so, that's a bit of a stretch.

A 300 mile battery is not appreciably more complex than a 50 mile one. The weight is a waste, but there's no extra maintenance burden.
I work full time. I earn enough, and the cost of living here is low enough, so my wife doesn't have to work. "Doesn't have to work" != "has to not work", so she does the things that she loves to do, and gets paid, but not full time, and is under no actual pressure to bring income. On the other hand he took over the larger share of the household chores and the children-related responsibilities.

This works well for us, but it takes some personal traits for it to work. Neither of us is career-driven and we value our work-life balance (and work-rest balance generally). Plus I trust my wife with the money more than I would trust myself. So while this arrangement works for us, it may not be for every couple.

What year was 300bps the state of the art?

Until about 1985. That's when the first 1200 baud consumer-available modems like the Commodore 1670 started arriving.

There were others available slightly earlier, but they were commercial-grade and prohibitively expensive for most people.
> business requirements change and suddenly your code organization is wrong

Agreed, and another important case is when you just learn something. The beginning of a project is when we know the least about the domain. Some early assumptions will be wrong! And that's great as long as we've optimized our team's process for learning. Indeed, that can become a strength, where we release new things specifically to learn. Learn about our users, about our domain, about our technical notions.

I disagree. It should be only cleaned up, if nothing else is more important.

If you are ever interested in getting serious about budgeting I can highly recommend YNAB [0] ("You need a Budget). It's a more advanced "envelope" system and it completely changed my relationship with money. I went from effectively living paycheck-to-paycheck (aside from hiding away some funds then blowing them randomly, no emergency fund) to now having 6 months into the future fully funded (aka I could lose all my income sources and be able to maintain my lifestyle for a minimum of 6 months without any extra cuts, of which I would make some if that happened), no debt save for my house and a tiny bit of student loans I'm waiting on, and maxing my 401k contributions.

I tried YNAB three different times before it finally clicked for me and I can attribute a lot my success to Nick True's videos (specifically his "YNAB for beginners" [1] video) and a friend giving me a push at just the right moment. Let this comment be your personal wakeup call to get your finances under control and remove the background (often subconscious) stress that worrying about money causes.

Many of the artists in this list specifically try not* to have this symmetry present in the faces.
It's what makes many styles of art separate from just taking a photo or simply going outside.

The system used here is actually astoundingly good at producing many artists stylesbecause it's not going for symmetry.

> Postle at least had acres and acres of evidence. One bad call on one hand is nothing compared.

It’s way more than one hand.

1. She used a time bank chip to tank a turn bet by Garrett when she had J8 (no pair no draw — same J-high situation) against Garrett’s made full house. In that case, there was an over or two on the board, so it was even more ridiculous to

2. Her changing story is not a good look. It could be because she was lying. It could be because she had no idea what she was doing and was just making up poorly-constructed possible explanations on the fly.

3. If you’ve ever played poker at a competitive level, her reaction when she makes an absolutely super thin hero call and is good and just sort of smiles is different than every other hero call I’ve ever seen. It’s super suspicious. To be fair, she could have been on something (Xanax?), so that’s a possible explanation.

4. She played really tight the other two sessions she played on HCL. Why was she all of a sudden including super thin value calls for this session? There are many good possible explanations, but someone deviating this much from their normal strategy and be right both times is suspicious.

5. Her undisclosed backer who was also at the table mouthed something to her during the session. What was that about? I was super suspicious, but could just be something simple.

I mean, a simple explanation is that she is a relatively wealthy person who was on a heavy dose of Xanax, and she was tired of getting bullied by Garrett (a top notch pro). She made a stand at a relatively random time, and she happened to be right. If that was her story, no one would bat an eye.

But she’s going with various whackadoodle stories that don’t really make much sense unless you start engaging in some random theorycrafting like she’s a narcissist who can’t admit that she had no idea what she was doing (possible, but who are we to say?).
As I was reading the article I was thinking the same thing. This is just the most recently evolved version, now including things like social media and online communities. It was still an interesting analysis to read. I wonder how the numbers compare for the biggest boybands of 2002, 2012, and 2022.
This is the opposite of TDD's "Red, Green, Refactor".

The TDD version protects against making useless changes.

The "make change easy" version protects against management stopping work as soon as the tests pass.

The issues in the first two paragraphs there are addressable at the user level: just import from a package other than COMMON-LISP, where things are implemented to be more to your liking.

So, what you actually want is that doing this could be done in a way that everything is as efficient as if one invoked the CL built-in functions. I think
a little more smarts in CL compilers could do this, in particular
efficient invocation of generic functions when the argument classes are known
at compile time (doing this in a way that allows methods to be added or redefined requires some care but can be done.)

Many of those parking spaces in major cities cannot handle even a slight increase in congestion due to charging, and the time to plug-in and un plug is too much for them. Think about your local downtown Whole Foods parking lot.
Dolt is for tabular data. It's like SQLite but with branching, versioning of the DB level. DVC is file-based. It saves large files, directories, etc to one of the supported storages - S3, GCP, Azure, etc. It's more like Git-lfs in that sense.

Another difference is that for DVC (surprisingly) data versioning itself is just one of the main fundamental layers that is needed to provide holistic ML experiments tracking and versioning. So, DVC has a layer to describe an ML project, run it, capture and version inputs/outputs. In that sense DVC becomes a more opinionated / high level tool if that makes sense.
800v cars can charge to 80% capacity in ~20 minutes on fast chargers, and that's for well over 300 miles of range.

However: EVs don't fix the problems inherent with high rates of individual car ownership in high population density areas, or with low occupancy vehicle, short distance travel.
Well, rather than telemetry, I suppose excellent domain knowledge may help? Experience in a particular field might help you choose a particular workflow that could work for a lot of users.

I disagree. We build happy paths for our designs, but there are plenty of vectors for attack and modification outside of things like exposed APIs and other "contracts" we bake into systems. You see this all the time with viruses, jailbreaks, virtualization, and hardware hacking.

If we had instrumentation that allowed us to poke and prod at microscopic integrated circuits, there would be a lot of attack vectors exposed there, too.

After all, our abstractions are built upon implementation details, and if you can play with the implementation itself, those abstractions and contracts are up for grabs when it comes to modifications.

I’ve been idly working on a similar list but with a much more basic prompt.

The results vary wildly, even run by run, but I might put them in a few buckets:

1. Similar enough that someone who doesn’t know much about art could be fooled

2. Amateur knockoff but recognizable style

3. Influence is there if you know what to look for

4. Artist probably not in the training data at all

The last one kinda surprised me, for artists whose work is online and who have unusual names. I would have thought those cases would be really good. Maybe they ran out of disk space with all the porn?

Also interesting that it gets much closer for figurative painters than for abstract painters.

> I’m sure the answer has to do with aerodynamics

It's both aerodynamics and mass. The main guns on most western fighters is the M61 Vulcan which is a 20mm rotary gun. The F-35 mounts a 25mm GAU-12 rotary gun. These are both pretty big guns and are typically mounted internally on the jet. Trying to fit one in a turret would not be practical, it would have tons of drag. In order to be able to rotate and elevate the gun it would need a lot of heavy duty motors to be able to actuate at fighter jet speeds.

Even if such a thing nominally worked, that space and mass could go to missiles. Missiles are far more likely to be used than some gun turret. A bore sight mounted canon is far more useful since the pilot is already going to be pointing the whole plane.
The plan shouldn’t be to replace 100% of existing ICE cars with electric cars. The carbon impact of the construction of those would still be too high. The plan should be to invest in public transport and electric bicycles, and use electric cars when either of those options isn’t enough, to complement.

All cities built around cars (and that’s almost every American city for instance) will have to change—either by arranging for bicycles and building public transport or through floods, fires, and hurricanes.
