Not me, but my wife did. Through 5th or 6th grade, I forget. She has very fond memories of it, and hated the transition into traditional school. Her account is that once she got there she was a) appalled at being expected to sit at a desk all day listening to teacher's talk or doing worksheets and b) bored as hell because she was significantly further along in her own education. Worth noting that she ended up at a pretty bottom of the barrel public school.

Ah yes, OS development, a domain famous for attracting stupid people.
I believe you also need approvals from your current manager(s) to switch teams?
Hi, recently ex-Amazonian here. It very much varies team-to-team. I was both careful and lucky enough to always be on teams where work-life balance was actively prioritized, with managers literally telling people to take more PTO, ensuring that stressful oncall experiences were a) compensated with unofficial time-off and b) taken as a prompt to invest in paying down tech debt to avoid repeat experiences. My experiences seem to have been better than the industry average.

But then I saw how some teams (predominantly, but not exclusively, based in Seattle) worked, and....yeah. Overall, not great.
This reminds me of the Juul ban, which flagrantly ignored the trivial availability of competing vape products.

Then again, the Onewheel system is rather unique. I would be curious to see a safety comparison of Onewheel versus the much more common self-balancing unicycles.
> So like, CodePipeline might be great

The entire CodeBuild suite kind of sucks when you stack it up to options available on the market including GitHub Actions, GitLab Runners, Azure DevOps, literally almost anything.

If the internal analogue is worse than the CodeStar suite, then yikes.
> once you're editing a page, there's nothing that can even be slow

Create a new notion doc. Create a json formatted codeblock. Paste in the ~250 lines from https://gist.github.com/keeguon/2310008

Add a new made-up entry. Back-space it. Add it again.

I typed for ~10s to do that. It took notion _5 minutes_ to catch up to my typing. I am not making this number up.

Multiple minutes of lag between input and it rendering is the worst I have ever seen from any text editor.

This is for a ~250 line document, which is admittedly in a json codeblock... but still, 250 lines is nothing for a computer, how do you make it take 5 minutes to append a character to a ~9000 character string?

Of course, you'll say "nothing that can be slow" did not refer to codeblocks because everyone knows notion's codeblocks are unusably slow.

Codeblocks are the most striking example, but other things are slow. Let me give examples:

Time to type "cat" into the notion search box (from entering characters to it rendering the actual text) on a large notion workspace - 3.5s

Time for the search to complete for "cat" - 20s

Input lag for just typing regular text on a ~3000 line normal document - 350ms

350ms may not seem like a lot of input lag, but it is very noticeable to me. It causes me to make typos and generally makes notion feel bad to type in. No other webpage I use has input lag this bad.

Now, admittedly, that input lag isn't on every page for me, only about half the notion pages I edit are that bad, but it still makes me dread ever typing text into notion.

Note as well, this is not on an m1 macbook, just a 2 year old i7 (mobile) processor running firefox. Perhaps I need to upgrade my hardware so that I can run this particular text editor.

But note that they sometimes take reliability too far.
The issue is that people are at least somewhat "locked in" to whatever apps they're already using, so sudden major price increases are a bit extortionate: Either you pay us a bunch of money, or lose access to your data/workflow.

Prior to acquisition, one could reasonably expect Evernote not to announce sudden, shocking price changes, because they were trying to build a long-term brand. Now, suddenly, that's not the case.

This is made worse when the app doesn't do a good job of letting you export your data in the first place.

You are quite right that open source done purely in free time usually takes much longer to be "finished" but that is more a question of the time available to spend on it than absence of pressure.

OSS projects that have paid developers often manage to avoid much of the pressure that occurs in closed source.

Some OSS projects like the kernel manage to harness companies as way of funding full time developers without giving them too much say in details or deadlines. A feature ships in Linux when it is ready and accepted by the maintainers and Linus not when some manager says it has to ship.

Of course this works far better for large projects that are essentially a "commons" like the kernel, less so for open source projects where most of the developers work for a single company.
It depends on your risk tolerance and how many DAU/WAU/MAU you have (and whether you're willing to have an untested experience for X users.) For example, I would test really old browser versions, and if there is a bad experience, you could let the user know to use a different browser or to upgrade.

My intuition says you'd get better value out of testing different browsers shallowly rather than 50 old versions of Chrome, though.
I seriously doubt it is actually 100%... let's verify that number.

Twitter's Suggested Algorithmic Follows on Following Elon Musk
What?

FTX isn't a US security that was traded on any platform. VCs (and accredited investors) are people rich enough, that the USA / regulators have deemed it "fine" if they lose a lot of money.

Accredited investors are supposed to have over $1M bucks not because it proves that they're smart. Its so that when they inevitably get caught in a Ponzi scheme or whatever, USA doesn't have to rush in and save their money.

Welcome to USA. If you're an accredited investor and/or Venture Capitalist, the training wheels are entirely off. You're on your own.

--------

There's no FDIC insurance or SEC governing FTX's deposits. Its wholly unregulated, and in the Bahamas to boot.

Reading this warning, I don't understand why now? Is there a bug with onewheels that are causing this injury/death? Or is it just rider error doing a dangerous activity?

Is the CPSC going to start warning against purchasing Rossignol skis or Santa Cruz mountain bikes because their respective activities are dangerous?

Participation in action sports and high-speed transportation will result in a higher expected mortality rate over the mean. I don't know who in their right mind would think flying down a street at >15mph on a single wheel would be _not_ incredibly dangerous.

Let adults make stupid decisions - whether that's jumping off a building with a parachute, riding a bike down a recklessly steep hill or hurtling my body down Main St. on a sideways unicycle.
Unfortunately we're already seeing new examples of how RCV generates unintuitive outcomes, with Sen. Tom Cotton tweeting[0]:

> 60% of Alaska voters voted for a Republican, but thanks to a convoluted process and ballot exhaustion — which disenfranchises voters — a Democrat ‘won.’

We might dismiss this as self-serving and disingenuous, but I actually have some sympathy for the claim that ballot exhaustion "disenfranchises voters", since it means that voters who have done more research about all the candidates (and can thus express a fuller set of preferences) potentially have their votes included in more rounds than less-informed voters (whose ballots are discarded earlier).

I suppose some people might think that more-informed voters should be given more power at the ballot box than their fellow citizens, but this seems equivalent to (for example) requiring voters to have a college degree, or passing a "literacy" test (which is a barrier that has historically been abused for purely partisan goals).

Anyway, we shouldn't be too surprised that RCV produced a result that was open to such criticism, since a similar thing happened back in 2009 during the mayoral elections of Burlington, Vermont.[1] The unintuitive outcome lead to RCV being scrapped for future elections there, and I fear that failures of RCV for state-wide elections could cause similar disillusionment with the idea of voting reform in other states.

One cause for optimism, however, is that Burlington did end up changing its mind again, and approving RCV in 2021, so perhaps the bad experience was only a temporary setback. It would still be prudent, however, to consider other types of reform, to be tried in different states, which are, after all, the laboratories of democracy.

Fun fact, that's sort of how we got Rye.
While most of the important points have been commented on, I would be really interested in more info about the hack.

It seems like everyone, (even these characters), don’t even care because it’s “only a few hundred million”

And it does seem like whoever this was might get away with it because everyone is focused on the larger issue. Which is understandable.
One issue with the skateboard style of e-wheel is that your feet are perpendicular to the direction of motion. This means when the wheel quits or you hit a big bump you will have to turn 90deg before you can run. The unicycle style where your feet are parallel to the direction of travel is much easier to "run-out" if the motor quits. The unicycle style also allows a larger wheel and larger batteries.

I think reason the unicycle configuration is less popular is that it does not look as cool as the skateboard style. My wife calls mine the dorkmobile.
A couple theories:

* You're a Musk fan boy and want to be noticed by him

* Lots of people leaving creates a power vacuum and (in theory) a chance to get that next promotion with less competition

* You're close to retirement/ you find the process of assimilating into a new company to be more exhausting than just sticking it out where you're at.
Isn't half the point of "crypto" to have an unregulated financial market? FTX operated out of the Bahamas for a reason. How can regulators fail to regulate a company that's not even based in their jurisdiction. You might have a point with FTX.US though.

Solidity implementations of sealed-bid Vickrey auctions
I strongly disagree with this recall.

I own a Onewheel (XR) and have ridden nearly ~1,000 miles on it in a variety of conditions.

I've only had one incident and it was entirely my fault (riding at night without proper lights and hit a pothole).

The Onewheel definitely has a learning curve. Like most things in life if you are patient in learning it and respect the limits it is entirely safe.

I think the safeguards Onewheel has implemented are completely adequate (primarily pushback).

I think the big problem is people not wearing safety gear and/or maxing out the board (speed specifically) too early.

Seems like a terrible idea. As others have pointed out, there are plenty of alternative platforms at hand that you can use for videochats, and I can't think of any that show intrusive video ads like this.

That looks really cool, I was actually searching for something like this. I'll be sure to give it a try over the following days.
I've been using https://cuckoo.team with a friend over the past weeks for a couple of sessions every day as a way to motivate and keep one another accountable.

EDIT: On a closer look it appears more of a social network where you can meet people, than a productivity/motivation system. I expected small/private rooms and more control over the start time and the duration of pomodoro's.
I'll still try it out to test how it works during the day.
We are going to see how long it can sustain the temperatures. They are not repairing the mini-split heater until Friday. But it's been amazing how performant it has been without having the heater on despite it staying so cold. We haven't used any heating or cooling (other than induction stoves, oven, computers running, body heat) for about six months now.

It got warm in the summer. The main floor got to about 80 while the pitched roof in the upstairs got warmer. The house really wants to retain heat. But it's been incredible in the winter so far with it barely getting above freezing.
Oh good. I live near the beach where a lot of people ride and I've seen a few people take nose dives on them when they suddenly stop for no reason.

Elon Musk says he will find a new leader for Twitter

> I didn’t realize these one wheels have top speeds of 16-20 mph. That’s faster than most people can sprint. 16 mph is a 3:45 mile. 20 is a 3:00 mile.

Those numbers are somewhat relevant but shorter sprints are about 50% faster than a mile pace.
The developers seem to be proud that their shell is “Rust-based”, they write it several times on the main page. But why would I care what a closed-source application is made with? Sorry if it’s blunt, but I just don’t get it.

You haven’t heard of any of these? How are you even on HN? J/k.
I picked up grains from a farm in Dwight, Illinois that makes very limited use of herbicides and pesticides (it seems like oats are all but impossible to grow economically without some use of a weed killing agent). The farmer made the transition for his health and the health of his kids, because he was intuiting that certain health problems were the result of agricultural chemicals. I was struck, walking in their corn field, by the abundance of insects and weeds, and the absence of these quantities in standard ag corn fields struck me as alarming.
>I'd actually force myself to write even trivial code on weekends to ensure my ability to develop didn't atrophy as a result of lack of use.

I figured this was pretty common. I've only had one job where I didn't feel the need to do this.
I personally don't like fangs as when the bumper drags on the ground during a nosedive it slows the board down quickly, when I first nosedived at 3k miles the friction caused me to slow down to about 5mph before I had to run it out, I was going downhill and if I had fangs I would have continued accelerating, eventually you need to bail and with fangs wouldn't have been able to run it out.

Yes.

I should have explained this more. There are whole threads on YT on how these things are super dangerous and causing a lot of injuries. Especially with random lockups.

There are videos about the poor construction, lockups, dangerous to self repair, etc.

I found them when I started to look into buying one of these myself.

Completely agree. Interesting how the internal dev satisfaction polling always shows that the vast majority of devs just absolutely love the internal tooling and processes. Might have something to do with the polls not actually being anonymous. When hr/polling teams are asked about anonymity they generally skirt or ignore the question, but I've learned that enough metadata is collected to identify any responder in pretty much any internal poll.
you can get a kit to put little casters on ("fangs") but since they lower the front end they can snag on stuff that wouldn't be a problem otherwise
Android has been ported to RISC-V. I'm sure chinese companies like Oppo that use qualcomm would love to switch to RISC-V at some point, although this is admittedly a bit too soon.
I don't like web apps and don't want my life in Google. Also I had been a paid user of Evernote for a few years already when Google Docs came out, I had already learnt that "if you're not paying for it, you're the product".

I'm not a fan of Microsoft, either. I've never had to swap Word documents around so that's not in my lie at all.

Evernote was on my computer, and on my phone; it's where I'd note down an idea when I had it, and since it was there I may as well just expand on it in there. When I'm doing solo comics then most of my notes in EN were collections of vague outlines, dialogue fragments, and photographs of scribbly sketchbook pages; actual writing mostly happened in Illustrator. It was easy to expand that to have a script sitting there in EN, since we were both already used to using it. Plus since EN is about keeping notebooks rather than files it's pretty nice to just have one place that holds all the various words and pictures related to getting from "some ideas we've kicked around" to "a script that I can turn into a bunch of Illustrator files on my hard drive".

This is similar to how there are a lot of programmers who do everything in Emacs. You're already there all the time, and it may not be perfectly built for this, but you can do most of what you need in it, so why not?

If you want to be totally anal about doing it The Traditional Industry Way then you can use a complex word processor template adapted from screenwriting templates and deal with rigid page counts. If you are not working as part of an assembly line with distinct separations between Writers and Editors and Pencillers and Inkers and Colorists and Letterers then your script can a pretty casual thing with simple formatting, and Evernote can handle that just fine. Or at least it could before v10 threw all performance in the toilet for that shitty Electron rewrite.

Lately I have been vaguely fiddling with using Scrivener for roughing out scripts of short pieces, and really need to get my partner on this long-brewing GN still kinda trapped in Evernote to give it a shot. If we can get a decent sync pathway to bring the .scriv files between our disparate devices then maybe my dusty Evernote notebook exports will turn into a handful of Scrivener projects, along with the scattered notes in Joplin and Apple Notes that have happened since I finally said "fuck this abusive relationship with New Evernote".
In 1970, there was still a middle class. Income was distributed according to the classic bell curve. Today, income is strictly bimodal. The lower-income lobe is the permanent underclass. The ragged tail of the upper class manages assets of ten million dollars or more.

Politically, it has been very useful to convince underclass voters that they are middle or even, often, upper class, and get them voting against measures that would benefit the underclass including themselves. Trump supporters helped institute policies that massively benefit the actual upper class, at their own expense.
This is the general feeling of what I see from AWS support as well as a consumer of the platform.

I'm battling something for weeks now which is a completely broken ass piece of shit inside AWS. I spent the first 3 weeks trying to get attention for this via support tickets and someone to take it seriously, resulting in escalating to account management. I've been on calls with the programme managers, been apologised to constantly and absolutely nothing has been done that is productive. Not only that they sheepishly suggested other customers were in the same shit.

My conclusion at the end is that critical bits of AWS are held together with only a couple of people who actually know how it works and they don't even have the ability to do fix anything...

Not that the consuming company I work for isn't a complete mess either but I expected better from AWS.
Yeah I completely brought my quite powerful machine to a halt at the time, it would eat up resources like all Electron apps do - and I'd hate to think of the potential security exploits with a Electron / unsandboxed chrome that formats clipped websites and attachments etc... - not good.
It's the single point of failure with no preventative maintenance plan that makes it more dangerous. When the power suddenly cut-out on my "one wheel" (it was a different brand) I was instantly airborne.

I can inspect my skateboard periodically to ensure the wheels don't fall off. If my dirtbike engine suddenly cut-out I still have momentum and brakes. But with a onewheel the wheel slips behind you and you are smashing the pavement when the electronics fail. For the record, I love my recently purchased Onewheel Pint and installed fangs in case the power cuts out unexpectedly.
