It feels like a simple thing but I also suspect it is effective from my personal experience.

We have automatic braking (fixed: breaking) on my Toyota Rav4:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbnoFbb8G8Q

It is a simple thing but the PCS has been triggered 4 times in the last 5 years and never incorrectly. I think I would have stopped soon enough without it (as I've never hit anything in my 20+ years of driving), but it was always in those unexpected situations like a car rapidly slowing down in the middle of the highway for something I can not even see.

It feels like initializing values to 0 automatically. You shouldn't need it if everything else goes perfectly, but it doesn't hurt to have it.

You should check out Kotlin. Design-wise, it's very similar to Swift, but it has a bigger userbase on the backend and an (imo) more promising future.
If each manager should only manage 15-20 people (https://www.yourerc.com/blog/post/span-of-control-how-many-e...)

Do the math. Amazon also has at least two major verticals - retail and AWS. Within AWS, Amazon has multiple departments and markets.

Without giving too much away, let’s start with the obvious (and I’m just guessing, I am not looking at the internal tool to see the hierarchy right now)

CEO of Amazon -> CEO of AWS -> Manager of my specific department worldwide -> manager of specific geographies -> manager of specific verticals within that market -> my manager.

That’s 6. I’m sure I’m missing a few and I just completely made up that hierarchy. But it is a logical division.

A typical McDonalds worked in a corporate owned store could probably go up 6 levels

- worker

- shift lead

- store manager

- regional manager

- district manager

- two more levels

- CEO

>Those folks, if they have any sense, have a dedicated device, as you state.

You'd be shocked at the number of people who carry their beacon, probe, shovel, etc but not an InReach or Spot device. With that said, most groups have at least one and are playing the odds game that it won't be them that has an issue and can't access it.
You're missing out on the fact that the de-facto standard which is disappearing is HTTP+HTTPS. Not one or the other. Together they provide security and choice. This is what I hope we all chose to continue supporting. I am not anti-TLS. I'm not even anti-CA TLS. I just think HTTP should be an option.

The only situations where HTTP has reason to be removed entirely are government/corporate/institutional sites with a genuine risk of MITM attacks on login/etc processes. For normal websites (ie, not web applications with accounts) created by humans this makes about as much sense as wearing a bullet proof vest while on the phone; yeah, you're more secure but... it's not actually helping.

I think you're misinterpreting the direction of Rust.

Rust 1.65 didn't add a new feature, it removed a limitation on an existing feature.

That's the direction I want my languages to be going in.
Forgive my naïveté, but aren’t you describing a decentralized exchange (DEX) instead of what FTX was? Looks like Uniswap, a popular DEX, is still alive and well.
Getting that sort of range is not common. Most of it is line of sight. Sat comms work far at sea where VHF is useless. With ARES, you are relying on an inconsistent volunteer network with spotty results by location and time.

I'm a licensed ham and have worked emergency events. I would not rely upon this if my life depended on it.
I think it's similar to how injury stats are up in auto accidents. It looks bad if you misread the data, but it's wonderful with proper context that safety features, first response, and treatment are saving more lives. So many of those shouts are people who would have died in an earlier era.
.edu is associated with the greatest source of debilitating debt the world may have ever seen, all to prop up a jobs program for the administrative class in higher education and to pile more billions of dollars into their endowments.
It's not just furthering the culture war; they've even funded an organization (SeRCH) that's all about peddling unscientific, unencyclopedic woo-woo (about their "intersectional scientific method" and "hyperspace") to vulnerable minority folks who are trying to get involved with real, actual science. An outrageous betrayal of Wikipedia's core mission.
Glad you found it useful! I highly recommend the Teams Topologies book cited in the article. Its a bit dry at first, but the solution leverages everything you learn in the earlier chapters in a jujitsu-like "use the enemy's power against itself" way. (Hope that makes sense)
I think it's a pretty bold exaggeration to go from "banning books from school curricula" or even "from school libraries" to "banning books period". Conservative attempts to restrict sex education are misguided, but no books are actually being banned. Personally, I tend to feel betrayed when I'm warned of a horrible thing happening and investigate to find out it just isn't so.

Are you saying we shouldn't donate to Internet Archive? Why?
There's a huge jump there. I don't agree that the average person donating to Wikipedia through these ads thinks they're donating to "ensuring there's an environment of well educated people", above and beyond providing a neutral, comprehensive and universally-editable encyclopaedia.

You're absolutely right I don't know how much it costs to operate in perpetuity. If your point is about building up a trust that's a great idea. I can't see anything in the plan about this: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_...

I love the idea that neutral means "status quo" and not the absence of bias, which is far from being the status quo in most cases.
Come on, real organizations aren't asking senior engineers to spend all their time on teaching juniors. It's like 10% time on average.

Growth and turnover is a fact of life for any healthy organization. Someone has to teach the juniors or else forward progress will grind to a halt. And usually the senior engineers are the only ones with the skills and knowledge necessary to do that teaching, even if they don't particularly enjoy it and it impacts their other work.
Garmin has already released the new GPS chipset that uses multiband (similar to Apples).

Been thinking about this too

What would be the drawback to just show the page as it was without reloading? Too much memory consumed when retaining too much state from previous pages?
DON'T.

I read news daily (tech and general) and it is a) unhealthy, b) not useful in the long run. As for the "creating a better worldview", well it's a good thing but the price is too high for too small benefit. Price is a wasted time and mental impact. And dropping binge reading is probably as hard as dropping smoking.

JUST DON'T.

aarch64 is only targeted at higher end devices where you'd expect to have at least 128 megs of RAM, enough to make the memory savings from Thumb2 not noticeable in practice.

Thumb2 was remarkable for getting so close to the performance of regular Arm code, but it was always still slower for almost any task even with the reduced instruction cache pressure.

Best I've done so far is to just add the labels it gives to the overlapping segments whisper spits out, which means some sentences have multiple speakers, but that's mostly the case because of cross-talk.

Ask HN: Hourly billers, do you bill for only focused work?
I have noticed that trying to bill at higher rates has been becoming more difficult and if I don't work a full 8 hours it appears that I am slacking off. The vast majority of software engineers do not do 8 hours of actual work, even including meetings.

However, I sometimes notice other contractors billing a full 40-hour work week and clients not batting an eye.

Am I being too honest, and should I continue billing for the fifteen minutes I go off reading HN, having lunch, or any other short break?

Edit: I guess what I meant to say, is lowering my rate by around 25%, but also being less picky on what I should bill so that I can earn the same amount, acceptable?
There are some gains from being able to adjust, and some other gains for being able to use any computer with the same shortcuts and the key where I expect them to be.

Personally, I prefer the gains from the latter approach: for example, I use ThinkPad bluetooth keyboards with eink tablets and Termux when I want to switch to something easier to my eyes.

Keeping the same environment (ssh + tmux + bash + vim) with similar keyboards layouts means my workflow and habits have become very independent from the hardware: I only have maintain separate shortcut remapping solutions based on the OS (AutoHotKey for windows, sds100 keymapper for Android)

VLIW works _really_ well on a deterministic ISA. As in when you know how long a load is going to take at compile time because you know it's N clock cycles from that type of memory.

Otherwise I really like the GPU derivative form where N instructions are ready to go and the hardware picks one where the prerequisite memory access has completed, despite that being variable.
Echoing others, I don't think this will have a huge impact as iPhone SOS is a last resort for those who are unprepared

Garmin inReach is a robust and rugged satellite communicator that out classes iPhone emergency SOS greatly

- inreach doesn't require "tracking" the satellite as it has a stronger antenna
- inreach is more waterproof, dust proof atd shock resistant (no touch screen)
- inreach has higher battery life, SOS can be activated while the device is off
- ability to send messages, which can be critical if there are no cell towers that can be boosned/activated

That said, it is a great innovation; I think the Apple Watch Ultra will cut more into the diving watch market than the iPhone into the satellite communicator market

Excellent idea. You can later search through your logs in the future for reference. As it's all in text.

Prior solutions posted on the net, had this take photo / record audio 24/7 features, but then those were stuck there. What next? What would anyone do with these data?

But this Hi Jarvis styled recording of text on the go is a very useful feature.

Another step ahead.

There's been very little communication from Contabo, but it seems there's an outage at their Duesseldorf DC (https://twitter.com/ContaboCom/status/1592536281170333697).

Status suggests 04:03pm (UTC+1), however my alerting was triggered at 11:29 GMT, 4h and counting with 100% packet loss and unable to restart instances.
Mbps/Gbps/Tbps is the bandwidth speed, instead of the physical speed of electromagnetic wave. You can always make more fibers and codecs and have them in parallel to get a greater bandwidth speed, which has no maximum limit. It all depends on how fast we need and how economically effective it is.
Assumptions are immaterial, however. Etymology of the term is as noted in the article. It is more likely that this use (as on water heaters and such) derives from the same typesetting usage.
With Discord separate threads aren’t supported as well as they were on phpbb forums. They’re not prominently displayed and the older ones (a couple months old) fail to load at all. So channels play the role of a small static set of threads, not of old forum sections. Without separate channels everything is intermingled into one big mess. I’d prefer phpbb. Alas we’re in a race to the bottom since the naughts.

Ask HN: Why do smartphones and SoCs require a custom build per model unlike PCs?
Take Linux distros for x86: there's a single .iso for all devices Linux supports at all, be that laptops, desktops, servers, etc. And my 10y.o. PC is still getting updates smoothly.

But then if we look at say Armbian, that seems to offer a custom image for every board supported, and those images are sometimes outdated for that specific model.

Same for Android, there isn't just a single Lineageos image, every device needs its own, and all devices are always outdated because vendors forget about them in 2 years at most. Question is, why is it the vendor (or custom LoS maintainer) that determines when and if my Android phone will be updated, but it's not up to say Asus if my laptop is going to get an update?

With Android I'd almost think it's done intentionally as part of planned obsolescence, but then why is it so with SoCs too and not so with x86?
> Privacy will probably not be such a big thing as now given most people with each generation are increasingly becoming more and more comfortable sharing their whole lives online

That's not quite right. People are just unaware of the power of what they share and usually react quite negatively if their data is used against them and start shielding themselves from surveillance of the sort that might affect them.

So predicting "people won't care about privacy because they share their whole lives online more and more" is a bit disingenuous.

It's what the tech companies like Facebook want but it's far from the truth.

Electric cars are better than petrol cars for sustainability, but both are bad long term. While I generally feel fewer cars overall is the goal, incremental improvements to cars don't hurt.

Electric cars have long had a reputation of being slow, golf cart like, and generally a silly idea. Tesla snapped that perception a bit, but built the idea that electric cars are for tech bros and bougie folks.

Cars like this help break other reputational barriers to the adoption of EVs. Someone sees this and it puts to rest the idea that EVs are slow or ugly necessarily.

Isn’t this also a win/win ? The dealer still gets their financing kickback?
I'd disagree.

A dealer buys an unregistered car. Registers, checks, sorts finance, offers after sales support. That is their value add.
I suspect the algorithm is just the frontloaded questions they ask you -- of course they can shrink all that down into a handful of bytes and unpack it on the other end as "car crash, 3 people, injuries reported, lat/long".

So the percentage "works", in a way, until you get to the freeform text.

> Annual Internet Energy / Annual End User Traffic = 0.81 kWh/GB

> Carbon factor (global grid): 442 g/kWh

Probably just checking how many bytes the response is. While that's a good idea to remove unused data from your response, this test may promote wrong patterns such as spreading data over multiple request/response. This would consume more energy but won't be visible with a naive CO2 computation.
I have no idea what you can or can't easily do in Rust. Here is something many languages can't do succinctly, without closures and code-as-data. From Paul Graham's book, On Lisp, modified to work with Lisp code as keys.

(defun make-dbms (db &key (test #'eql))
"Make a database, db should be a list. Test determines what keys match."
;;Three closures in a list to make a database.
(list
#'(lambda (key)
(rest (assoc key db :test test)))
;;add
#'(lambda (key val)
(push (cons key val) db)
key)
;;delete
#'(lambda (key)
(setf db (delete key db :test test :key #'first))
key)))

(defun lookup-dbms (key db)
"Return the value of an entry of db associated with the key."
(funcall (first db) key))

(defun add-dbms (key val db)
"Add a key and value to db."
(funcall (second db) key val))

(defun del-dbms (key db)
(funcall (third db) key))

In use with code as the key:

CL-USER> (let ((db (make-dbms nil :test #'equalp)))
(add-dbms '(+ 1 2) 3 db)
(lookup-dbms '(+ 1 2) db))
=> 3

It wouldn't have worked. What the people quitting twitter want is a "safe-space" for whatever ideology they believe in. As long as these people controlled the platform, why would they go anywhere else?

These people don't care about decentralization, only controlling the message and prevent opposing ideas to foster on their platform, nothing more.

I use my phone's flashlight a good bit, it is very useful. That said, if I was going on some away mission where lighting was going to be questionable, I'd probably bring some kind of dedicated lighting equipment like a flashlight.

My flashlights have adjustable beams. They throw out many times more light than my phone's flashlight. Using the dedicated flashlight gives a way better lighting experience than using my phone's flashlight. But it is like cameras, the best flashlight is the one on you.
