> Companies with common ownership

But SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter don't really have common ownership in the normal sense. They're not owned by the same holding or parent company, they're not owned by the same single person, one is public and two are private, etc.

If Tesla engineers are spending time on something not beneficial to Tesla but instead to Musk personally or to X Holdings, that's absolutely something Tesla shareholders could sue for.
Quite good reading to stay up to date how to write proper C++ code instead of classical C with C++ compiler, given how the language is anyway unavoidable in many domains until they migrate to something else, mostly beyond our lifetimes.

Like LLVM and GCC contributions, GPGPU frameworks and Khronos standards, language runtimes,...
Even if what you say is true it is probably still interesting to know how much liquidity people keep around at most
I gave my mom, something close to this:

There is no way a 90lb, octataraien, is going to rip a seatbelt loose if stuck, or smash her car window by hand, if the power is out, or if underwater.

Yes she can reach the glovebox and get this tool, but not if the thing won't open!
I've been in several restaurants which use tablets. Nothing wrong with it. They're not handing them out, each table has them. E.g. Yard House does it.
No no no, people are bamboozled into believing they can't get basic transparency, because <fill in some absurd excuse>.

Apple Pay charges 0.15%. App Store charges 30%. I want to see both on the receipt. This is not rocket science. I can see how much government charges right? The point is to show me all intermediaries which are getting a cut directly from the purchase. App Store clearly is an intermediary.

Tim Sweeney mentioned it as well - app developers cannot show cost breakdown in their own apps, it's an App Store rule [1]. I don't mean here to give users second option to pay without tax of course. Just showing information, so users understand pricing rules.

We could push it a step further - show me all intermediaries taking a cut from any purchase and oh boy, this will be fun :)

You probably misclicked the comment section, I guess you wanted to go here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33346091
The most significant difference is the waiter finding out how much you've tipped while you're still in your seat vs. once you've left the restaurant.
I really like QR codes when it just leads to a simple static site with the menu.

Wouldn't mind if that site was a tad more advanced also let me place an order that goes into some order queue.

Also wouldn't mind if that site can text me the bill so I can pay using something standard like GPay or Apple Pay.

Just don't make it fucking impossible to use, keep it simple and fast.
You say this but their drivers still can't figure out how to operate turn signals.
Because Jobs spent 70% of his career without any sort of social media or globally interconnected world around.
Seems like this data should find its way into the OSM database one of these days.
Differences between B-Tree and LSM-Tree
Why not have an option for both? Both have their use cases.
Infinite growth is very easy. Just collapse the economy and rebuild in an endless cycle. You will end up with less total economic activity than if there was no addiction to unnecessary growth but ok, let's fight to our deaths via wars because of it anyway.
> Thin Events add coupling

That’s not my experience. In fact I’d say fat events add coupling because they create an invisible (from the emitter) dependency on the event body, which becomes ossified.

So I’d say the opposite: thin events reduce coupling. Sure, the receiver might call an API and that creates coupling with the API. But receivers are also free to call or not call any other API they want. What if they don’t care about the body of the object?

So I’m on team thin. Every time I’ve been tempted by the other team, I’ve regretted it. It’s also in my experience a lot more difficult to version events than it is to version APIs, so reducing their surface area also solves other problems.
Ask HN: Are links and posts to HN being stolen?
Is it possible that other accounts steal submitted links or posts?

I just had this experience with my paydevs account:
* On 2022-10-29T12:43:45 I postet https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33383563 on my paydevs account, which does not show up in the stream and HN search
* On hour later, on 2022-10-29T13:43:02 the user https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=pabs3 published the same link with a different title: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33383972

Is this normal on HackerNews?
You forgot "customized", and order drinks before food too - separately. The other part is: I dislike touching a phone screen while eating, so it needs to accommodate that too.

Edit: on a 2nd thought - how would family order look like - the kids need some way to link their orders (albeit having phones) to the payment. You'd need a temp password/pin for everyone to link to?
Sadly, this will vanish with almost all EVs.

I love manual transmissions, but I will have to give this up soon. Likely so will you, sadly.
Sentry and Cloudwatch logs mainly, with paging set-up if anything bad happens.

Though I run a status page + uptime monitoring service and also dogfood monitoring my own service (https://onlineornot.com)
Some places, the waiter leaves the POS with you and collects it after a minute. Those are good places.
The whisker controls are even better. No need to take hands off the wheel.
Defining the function after the error and retrying does I think fit the description too.

I guess the seamless continue without retry possibility could be useful if you are doing important side effects, but Clojure is quite functional unlike CL so it doesn't come up as much.
Sure, Melbourne and Auckland used to be number 1 and 2 cities in the world. Now the cost of living might have pushed them down the drain!
>If this analysis can cast a shadow on the myth of Mel Kaye ... it stems from the obvious lack of real value that the hack added to the program. It's very unlikely that a standard loop would have degraded the program's performance in any noticeable way.

I thought the original story implied that the primary purpose of the alleged hack was to make the program (a blackjack game) difficult for anyone else to understand and edit, because Mel himself had refused to alter the program to allow the company's staff to cheat?

(edit: blackjack, not backgammon, thank you cassiepaper)
This is just the prelude to an apocryphal story. At the end of that story, Oracle stops innovating and becomes a legal and license auditing firm with sales and engineering departments bolted onto the side, slowing atrophying into the sunset.

It’s really

1) bad reception + no unprotected wifi

2) PDF that you have to zoom into, rather than a nice mobile-adapted static page

that makes the experience aweful for me.
Power failure leads scientists to discover new way of generating hydrogen
Reminds me of those messenger restaurants in Sweden. You have to have messenger installed and then you roder, the server comes out with the food and that's the only connection you will have with them.
Swedish servers and bartenders and taxi drivers want tips. And they get super pissed if you don't tip them.
The espresso house barista never asks for tips, the bartender does and gets mad if you don't tip.

All they have done is bring me a plate of food , zero interaction.
Why why why should I tip them?
Still pisses me off.
I actively avoid restaurants that use this system.
Takeouts however I am fine with in this way.

Also , do not tip in Sweden, ever.
He’s doing the reverse with SpaceX employees, so it’s a net win.
i want my sandwitch fast. i rarely order fast good, which means i don't know where things are in your app. the user interface on apps are terrible. with training they can be fast, but i don't wabt training on how to find things. train your own people
The game (a blackjack game) was written in such a way because that was Mel's style and approach a really smart person, as described in the article.

The idea behind it was to annoy the marketing people, disregard their request, and help the machine win every game, instead of the other way around.
> "What a ridiculous viewpoint. I spent two days last week to write a single line of code. "

Sure, I've done the exact same thing. What's stopping you from bringing that line of code to an interview and talking about it?

> "If you ask me to print my code and defend it in a meeting, I will instead skip the meeting and respond to one of the dozens recruiters who reach out every week in my inbox. "

When you interview with your new employer, won't you be discussing notable achievements such as the single line of code you wrote that cuts app startup time by half?

> "It's just a demeaning process meant to assert the dominance of the new owners."

Are interviews demeaning? In a sense, sure. Sounds like you're doing it one way or the other, though.
One of the first customers of MLIR is the Fortran compiler for LLVM.

I only do Python when doing systems programming in UNIX that outgrow bash scripts, or scritping software that uses Python as their scripting language.

Then again, I enjoy using C++ despite its flaws. :)
This sort of thing will keep me burning fossil fuels and using older model cars.
Stories on the web aren't your personal property that only you are allowed to submit. Get over it.
Shower thought: we need a SQLIR, to be able to communicate with databases on a lower level that SQL. Many ORMs would benefit for that.
Engineering optimism, even egregious optimism, is not the same as a con job.
This makes an interesting point.

The less used something is, the more apparent it must be how to use it.

If something is used once a year, most users won't know what myriad of menus to follow. Some won't even know it is a menu option, and may hunt all over the car for a hidden release.
Our industry was once capable of building entire operating systems that ran in significantly less than that.
One of the first IRs was the PL.8 compiler, and the Amsterdam Compiler Toolkit, both predate GCC for quite a while.
That's common in Britain for cheaper places, especially ordinary pubs serving food. At most middle or fancy restaurants you order from the waiter who comes to the table.
“Web page menu” does not distinguish it from the existing practice of a restaurant putting its menu on its website, so that you can read the menu before you visit. Nobody has any problem with that.

The problem is most certainly the QR code. The QR code is what is requiring me to have a charged phone (= phone+power bank+charging cable) to read the damn menu. If they gave people devices to read the menu on (e.g. how McDonalds does it) then it would be less problematic.
It’s interesting to consider that your grandfather was probably wrong about somethings being superfluous. Im not saying that as a criticism — but there are probably necessities of modern cars you and I find magnificent and essential (whether we our conscious of them or not) that your grandfather disdained.

Don’t get me wrong, touchscreen gloveboxes are stupid as hell, but as I get older and things change, i find myself wondering if I’m being discerning or closed-minded.
There is a reason why https://www.reddit.com/r/fakedisordercringe/ is a thing.

Teenagers are, by nature, trying to fit in. Because of the internet (and TikTok) they try to find themseves belonging to specific mental/physical disorder groups by faking the symptoms.

People develop the weirdest "alter" systems (faking DID), everyone seems to have self-diagnosed ADHD and depression or is on the autism spectrum. Tourettes is another faker staple.

For many it's just a phase and they figure out who they are (as teens do), but some go down the deep end and actually develop mental issues from faking having mental issues so long... Or it becomes a part of their identity and they find friends in the scene so they need to keep doing it.

The problem is not that someone postet the link - the problem is that the original link/post was hidden and exactly 1 hour later someone else postet it.
Honest question - How did you get from "less bugs" to "0 bugs"?
Slight difference: Tumblr's core userbase were edgy teenagers and porn consumers, Twitter's core userbase appears to be press people, marketing professionals, celebrities and politicians. I think this userbase will be less inclined to just move on to Mastodon and more to make demands to Musk instead.
> Christianity make it sound like you have to be perfectly clean and disciplined to be “enlightened”

Yes, it is true that the church often presents it this way. Which is odd, because the bible is almost always presenting the other case, that the person with the issue is the enlightened one.

For example, the bible lists 5 women who are in the geneology of Jesus. This includes a prostitute (Rahab), a Moabite (Ruth, and according to the bible marrying a moabite was punishable by death), and an adulteress (Bathsheba; she may have been innocent but this isn't clear).

Heck, even the idea of extending the blessing of God to the gentiles is sus. The gentiles are by definition unclean.

All of which could be seen as a way to highlight that "enlightenment" is due to the grace of god, not works of man. And yes, "enlightenment" means something very different in christianity vs buddhism.
Probably why he retired

Most people clicking on a link to a company website - ads or otherwise - do so because they want to hear what that company has to say about themselves and their products, not because their childlike grasp of the world makes them expect every result to provide utterly impartial information.
Is is very cool they have the ability to recycle old battery packs, but isn't the goal to have more lithium battery capacity available overall? Many people buy used cars only. If all electric vehicle batteries will be taken off the market after let's say 10 years. This will substantially impact availability of such vehicles for those people.

Let's take an imaginary model 3 that is 15 years old and it has 170k miles on the odometer. If it still works and the battery has somewhere in the region of 30%~50% capacity this is still a very usable vehicle for many people.
In college I had to take an engineering ethics course.

"Don't build bridges that fail because people might die and you might be held responsible" pretty much sums up the courses content.

It pains me that the opportunity to push engineers away from surveillance capitalism (facebook/intuit etc.) was ignored. It equally pains me that companies will want you to devote your resources to money makers rather than security and those misaligned incentives will harm people. The 737 MAX was an equally pertinent exercise in understanding that management will cover their ass and push engineers under the bus, so you have to defend yourself from becoming a scapegoat in corrupt organizations, because when the plane crashes management will do everything possible to not be held accountable.
Does that actually change the font size or does it just zoom?
I just googled for a free uptime monitor and used that. Occasionally get a downtime email.
You're assuming this is the only process they have in place -- and there's no rational basis for that assumption.

Look, we all should know how this works. We're viewing selective aspects of their process through the warped perspective of the national media. You're not hearing about any of the reasonable things they're doing because none of those things are interesting. You're only hearing about elements which can be presented as shocking, to get your eyeballs on news bites.

Take a step back and think about perspective.
I'm not really sure what the point of the article is, though I don't see any relevance to the claim that it's a need.

It may be a new addiction, but certainly the point can't be made that the 1980s (or any other time in history) was a time where infomania was a serious concern for the majority of the population, even though more information was made available daily than in 300bc.

New sources of information overwhelm people who are not equipped for it, but this is a flaw in the individual not in our basic biology or psychology.
All that is true and yet nobody else got EVs on the road and reusable rockets in the sky at scale.
You seem to be surrounded with smart people/advisors
You're right, I should have specified that I meant trivial in terms of cause, not in terms of impact.

That's why static typing and unit testing are both practically much better at reducing bugs than they have any right to be theoretically.
That's strange. You can write to hn@ycombinator.com and ask why your submission is [dead]. Maybe it got caught in some spam filter, was unblocked and then somebody else got lucky.
I bet it takes mere seconds to angle grind your way into a glovebox

I bet I can rip it open in a second. The box itself is all plastic, not steel. A good yank and it will deform.

I can rip the whole console/dash plastic off if I want. It's just plastic tabs holding it in.

The lock only prevents sneaky access.

I think "Instant Apps"[1] are/were meant to be the Android analog, but I haven't seen them used anywhere.

To me it is most important that the commit is focused only on one thing, and not mix any unrelated changes together.

We develop a Rust based tool HighFlux [1] which simplifies/automates working with git.
In this workflow you create a feature branch for every feature you work on and it automatically commits all changes to this branch.
After code review the branch gets merged as a squashed merge to have it in a single commit in the history.

It's more intuitive when you remember that Austria-Hungary was an empire spanning much of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, and that Vienna was more central to it than it is today to Austria, but I make that mistake of placing it to much in the West regularly too.
Could we organically farm on 100% of that 33%?
I think it is not about code being special.

It is about coming up with BS false positives, pointing them out and saying this code is crap.

Of course if someone is professional and understands there was different context and all you have is code and writes down false positives and discusses them it is OK.
The current connector 12VHPWR connector already joins all the wires together on GPU end of connector. So multiple PSU power rails isn't an argument why they couldn't have used two beefier wires and connector.
Yeah. Here in France the number of restaurants with QR code only menus is still small, but as annoying as you describe. And the only time I went to a restaurant where you also had to pay from your phone (by entering manually your CC number!), me and my party just laughed and left.

This is the opposite of the restaurant experience. I'd rather buy a sandwich in a supermarket and eat it on a public bench (which is a nice thing to do, weather permitting).
The best use I saw was on some small electronics thing I was looking at in a shop. One brand had QR codes on their boxes, which led to a full specification and the user manual -- more than could possibly have fitted on the box, especially as a European box can have 10+ languages.

Another is joining a Wifi network. I saw this at a couple of small hotels recently -- as well as giving the network name and password, there was a QR code. Scanning it prompted me something like "Do you want to join NiceViewHotel Wifi network? Yes/No" and was much quicker than typing in the key.
It will probably be spikey. Someone gets loads of

How does electronic release save money (or when is the breakeven), considering the engineering of the electronic / sw system and the new emergency release system vs adapting the usual manual system to a new car model?
And yet we have people whose job is to help software getting deployed, infrastructures getting the timely upgrades, capacity planning, monitoring and alerting, honing their troubleshooting skills so when time comes to save your business they know how to do it and have the right tools not break in their face.

Yes, let's treat those tasks as less honourable than developers and enjoy the results
It is not required to pay bills by scanning the QR code. It is perfectly possible to enter the IBAN and reference number manually as long as your banking provider lets you do so.

What is required is that you, when creating an invoice, provide the QR code for doing so.
I don't know about "Europe", but in France it's pretty common to get the terminal at the table, even at "non-fancy" random eateries.

Sure, you could pay on the way out, but that's often painful. Many others are having the same idea, so now you have to wait around, lining up in a place that wasn't designed for people to wait around, bothering waiters who need to run around serving clients. It's usually less of a hassle to just wait around at the table for the waiter to bring the terminal to you.

My pet peeve with the terminal at the table thing is that, despite card payment being extremely common in my area, the waiter will not bring a terminal over when you ask for the check, you'll have to wait some more.
Andreas, this is pretty cool. Do you think it may be plausible at some point that you do you development and make your YT screencasts (not necessarily the recodings itself, but the desktop/software used there) from inside SerenityOS?
Battery prices are still falling @ 10-15% a year. In 10 years you would be able to replace old batteries with new batteries for cheap a $6000-7000 battery in 10 years will be $1500-2000 new only.
The bribe is for stamping the passport (which is required). My understanding is that every Cambodian border agent expects it. When my wife and I were in Cambodia, I paid my bribe (it was like $2 or $3), then I handed the agent the same bribe for my wife, and he gave me a dollar back as a discount for paying two bribes. I had a hard time not laughing at that.
Doesn't USA have the tax concept of "transfer pricing"?

Musk (who is definitely the beneficial owner of Twitter and probably of Tesla too) is providing "free" consulting service of Tesla employees for Twitter -> without an invoice and without tax. (or maybe there will be an invoice?)

In EU that should be taxed (and also invoiced) - with similar prices as a consulting provided by a consulting company that does code reviews. The tax office is interested most in the missing tax of course.
That grandpa probably complains about ridiculous things like having to uninstall the bumpers to replace a front lightbulb which don't matter in the grand scheme because I know a mechanic who does it for 20€ (excluding the cost of the parts) but it is still silly because it is something that anyone with zero training could have done.
