I think this is just head in the sand thinking. BEVs are here to stay and are indisputably the future. EVs are already cheaper than comparable ICE vehicles in terms of TCO, and they can be made cheaper than comparable ICE vehicles even up-front.

But more importantly, gasoline will only ever get more expensive. The expertise to maintain extremely complex and efficient gasoline engines will only get more expensive. The taxes on burning gasoline will only get more expensive. And as volume falls, gas stations have to spread their overhead across fewer gallons sold, only exacerbating the price increase at the pump.

All the while electricity will only get less expensive. Many homeowners will choose to make a small upfront investment in panels and produce more energy onsite than they will ever consume, making their EVs even less expensive per mile. Real-world advances in battery tech and smart grid infrastructure will allow the car to play double-duty as a backup power source for the home, and even triple duty a profit-generating part of the electrical grid.

The only limiting factor for BEVs is charging infrastructure. If you have a home you can charge at, and particularly if you have a roof you can put solar panels on, then your next car, or the car after that, will absolutely be an BEV. For those without home charging, we will either need incredible public charging infrastructure, or perhaps the ability for the car to go get itself a charge on its own in the middle of the day/night.

For me it certainly helped, but only as "additional course material". When I was studying for the LinAlg exam I used the script of my professor and tried to understand chapter by chapter.
Afterwards I watched those videos to "check" if I had really understood.

My pet theory is this boils down to investor confidence. Executives get more comp in stock, cutting workers sends the right signal.
Imo incentives-based reasoning is the only way of thinking about corporate behavior that isn't naive. What's happened here is that the incentives changed, which- maybe you could call it naive to assume they wouldn't

But there's also a bias, when presented with only two real options, of telling yourself that the less-bad option isn't just less-bad, it's actually good. Because it helps you sleep better at night and because there's nothing you could really do about it anyway. Same thing happens with two-party politics
You had it right the first time, 1.7x speed is 70% faster.

If something previously took 4s now takes 2s then it's 100% faster.

Think of driving 10miles. If you drive at 20mph then it takes 30 minutes. If you drive twice as fast, 40mph, it takes 15 minutes.

40mph is 100% faster than 20mph.

Half the time is twice as fast!

I'm implementing a platform mostly targeted towards developers. The search bar is a central part of it, and I, just like lots of us prefer to use the keyboard as much as possible over pointing devices.

My instinct says I should go with Cmd+K, as it's standard in so many apps nowadays and doesn't hijack the default Cmd+F. I've also seen Cmd+/ and other things being used elsewhere.

Do you have a preference or do you feel like there's a de facto standard emerging here?

To other companies. Some are still hiring. Remember how everyone was saying that filling positions was difficult? Well, it's getting much easier now. Keep in mind that not all of these layoffs are for tech workers (many of them are business functions) and that these examples are very visible but the numbers aren't that big in the context of the overall labor market.

Of course it could get much worse than this but we aren't there yet.
That's an illustration that the problem is not so easy.

What your parent comment complains about is that the keyboard shortcut is based on the location of the key, and not the letter.

What you complain about is that the keyboard shortcut is based on the letter, and not the location.

Obviously, these complaints don't contradict each other, both make sense in different circumstances. But figuring that out requires awareness of different keyboard layouts, and of the difference between KeyboardEvent.code (location) and KeyboardEvent.key (letter).

> I've only ever found myself missing value semantics when I use languages with implicit reference semantics.

Oh, I miss it every time. ;-)

I will say though that some newer languages seem to have a confused idea about how to offer mixed semantics. A bunch of them tie semantics to types. The ideal interface can vary by usage context. It's hard enough getting the semantics right as the callee (as opposed to caller), let alone when you're defining a type that will be used by who knows how many interfaces.

> I guess I always figured the solution was "value semantics with better education / tooling".

I've always thought much the same, but I have slowly come to appreciate that it's more than just education & tooling. Even with good education & tooling, there's a cognitive load that comes with getting interfaces right that for the general case is just not worth it.

I’ve designed tools and led design teams for over 10 years at Facebook, Dropbox, and many startups. I believe we are at the beginning of redefining how creative work is done for a lot of people. Design tools will evolve dramatically over the next few years, and the boundary line between designer and tool will be redrawn. Nobody knows what these tools will look like, but they will be something totally new. Many large companies will be built in the next few years. It's an extremely exciting time.

Early in my .NET career Framework Design Guidelines made a big impression and improved my code quality. I liked the prescriptive "Do/Don't/Consider + ELI5" style of the rules and to this day use that approach in some of my writing to customers. It's since been baked into the static analysis tools so no need to buy the book, but I would like to see more books on other topics with similar style.

I am not answering the question because after years of reading Haskell tutorials, I no longer have any faith that there's a particularly good way to explain what a monad is.

However, I will say, you don't need to know what a monad is to write Haskell effectively. The Option type is easy to understand. The IO type is... slightly more difficult to truly grok, but you can get pretty far without grokking it, and you still don't ever need to use the word "monad" to grok it*.

And here's my hot take: I've yet to ever come across a monad where knowing it was a monad was helpful in understanding it. As far as I can tell, "monad" is actually just a useless concept. The fact that some seemingly unrelated types are monads is vaguely interesting, I guess, but that's all it is. Lots of people (including myself, at one point) get stuck on monads for way too long--it's a major barrier for most people trying to learn Haskell, and getting past this barrier doesn't actually serve any purpose except that you stop wasting time trying to get past it.

Just to be clear: monads are useful. But, they're just as useful if you don't know you're using a monad, as they are if you do know you are using a monad. Knowing something is a monad doesn't make it more useful. Not knowing something is a monad doesn't make it less useful.

If the goal of the Haskell community is to filter their membership to those who think obscure type concepts are cool, then by all means keep talking about monads. But if the Haskell community is trying to increase adoption and communicate a functioning understanding of Haskell, the best thing they can do is stop talking about monads.

And if your goal is to learn to solve problems with Haskell, the best thing you can do is ignore monads. You'll understand them eventually with enough examples, but if you're like me, your reaction to understanding monads will, be "Oh, that's all? I can't believe people are talking about this."

* I'm saying "grok" to mean "understand in a way that allows you to use the concept in every situation where it can be used and in every way that it can be used".
Honestly, I've never really understood crypto so maybe I'm mistaken, however if pretty much all of the major exchanges disappear off the face of the earth, can there be any other outcome than the value of crypto going, as near as makes no difference, to zero? You may still be able to transfer ownership of your coins but for what purpose?

Usability is still not great. Slippage risk is hard to communicate and txn costs were high since they require on-chain txns.
Thank you for the suggestion, but that's indeed a problem with lots of websites that get this utterly wrong. Browsing the web using a non-US keyboard is fun.
I didn't say we should get rid of coal, now.

What I don't see is any medium long term plan to roll out Renewable storage or Nuclear supplementation.

So there is no serious EU Energy policy at the moment that allows us to get rid of hydrocarbons for energy production... in any timeline in the foreseable future.
Dongles are ugly, inconvenient, flimsy, and they use up the single port on the device. The apple dongle's cable in particular is so thin, I feel like it's about to break every time I use it.
Crypto exchanges usually combine a function of an exchange and a clearing house. And tend to create ad-hock financial instruments. Hence the risk.

To me it feels like it is time to rethink at least the proof-of-work coins, particularly the CO2 emissions and energy use. It is crazy that people go cold in Europe while the energy is spent to mine bitcoins. And that the amount of CO2 produced by mining bitcoins is that of a small country. While the benefits of of all these coins seem to be nonexistent.
> Maybe I just missed an obvious route to disable swaths of SELinux for rootless containers - where it probably doesn't have as much of an application.

podman run --security-opt label=disable

https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/troubleshooti...

Note: Labeling can be disabled for all containers by setting label=false in the containers.conf(5) file.

https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-run.1.html#...

But more secure way would be to add ":z" or ":Z" to volume and podman will auto-relabel source dir. Finally you can use nuclear option: "--privileged". It's still more secure than docker's one because you are limited by your user's capabilities.
Looking on the bright side:

This whole crypto failure is going to act as a bit of an 'innoculant' for any relaxation of financial laws. If anything, it should lightly strengthen support for further financial regulation of Wall Street and the like. All responses to any loosening up of the banks can reasonably be countered with 'Yeah, but look at what happened with Crypto.' So I guess that's at least something.
Isn’t the blockchain itself the “true exchange” of the crypto space?

Two weeks ago I attended an Apple Event for Government and Education in Chicago. From my perspective was absolutely alarmed at how open they were about tracking data and sharing. I think their marketing on "privacy" was dishonest at the least.

Apple puts constant pressure on the user to use an iCloud account. Apple puts constant pressure to manage apple Devices with a MDM profile based system. In both cases user privacy is lost.

> Musk’s Twitter experience — thought to be an asset, including by yours truly — isn’t really relevant to the actual day-to-day reality of the site as experience by Twitter’s actual users.

You can never build a product that's perfect for everyone.

If you don't use it yourself, there could be many obvious deficiencies that you never prioritize fixing/improving.

On the other hand, if you think your personal use cases are representative of most users, you risk building something that doesn't reach its potential of being useful to most.

I'm a lazy person so I just connected a Raspberry Pi with a large hard drive to my local network and installed NextCloud on it. There is a small app called "Music", that's more or less enough for my needs:

Once they're there, they're there.

I don't know what ongoing maintenance there would be after the initial import.

Backups? Automate them. Integrity checks? Use a better file system.
Why would they keep employees through a downturn? They're profit-driven entities.

Of course they're going to dump externalities onto the public any chance they get, and we should strive to limit their capacity to do so... But in this case I'm not sure what you mean exactly? Nor do I understand what you mean about bringing antitrust because of layoffs? That sounds much more difficult to justify than most of the other reasons you might bring antitrust against these companies.
Because historically it hasn’t been 99% of the time. And no one cares about securing other people’s data.
It sucks having to maintain the drives, prevent the bit rot, restoring them from backup when the drive(s) fail, paying for, installing, maintaining the technology black hole that you fall down into trying to mitigate all of the above from happening in the first place.

Right now, for me, its an external SSD drive and I have a Blaze backup that, in theory, when it works, when it hasn't decided to not backup for a week, preserves it all up in the cloud for me, while my Time Machine manages my main system drive locally.

I dread the day I'll have to restore all of this when the inevitable disaster strikes, but I SHOULD be protected (knock on wood).
Choosing might be the wrong word, but I would say "accepting", as I sincerely doubt the CEO is unknowledgeable of product delivered vs (expensive) rework required and demanded. One monkey on their back is the ever short-sighted demands of Wall Street, and they always want (too) rapid return on investment, which is made visible by the quantity of shipping product. A lot of people will be initially accepting of imperfection, happy to be engaging with the newly hot marque. But not all, and not forever, and especially when others may begin delivering that quality.

A company targeting quality needs to be delivering it from the outset (shades of Phaedrus). Tesla got away with, and still does to a huge extent because of customer buy-in, in delivering shoddy assembly because of the newness and strong desire for their initially niche product. Those EV manufacturers coming after Musk will not get such customer forgiveness, at least not as for long, and well, Tesla's no longer riding so high in valuation either. My opinion is that to be around for the long run, you need to be trusted and desirable - or to grow too big to fail - i.e. have the right kind of influence invested in your success for reasons other than the company's mission.

I absolutely believe the CEO's stated mission of building EVs for a climate focus reason is his actual goals, but he has to juggle delivering ROI sooner rather than later because that's what his early investors demanded, against producing product people will want to buy today and ten years from now. The already limited by $80K price customer base though is slowly becoming more discerning, mostly because they can, and those early company acceptances of unforced errors won't make it easier to become and remain the climate influencer he wants to be.

All said, RJ's job is a lot of electrified barbed wire fence straddling.

I'm confused about this entire thread and the lawsuit considering that, as far as I can see, Apple's privacy statement explicitly says "across apps or websites". There's nothing about the privacy policy that states that they can't track you within a single app. I don't see any evidence, in the video or otherwise, that what's going on and what's shown is going against that policy. Maybe I'm naive to think that Apple doesn't cross-pollinate this data but I don't see any evidence to suggest that that's not the case or that any of this is malicious.
