What really irritated me is that the person has no idea about what they're talking about.

- The color most closely tied to this trend is Nardo Grey, to that point that cars that don't come from the brand that brought it out (Audi) still get referred to by that name: https://touchupdirect.com/blog/what-is-nardo-grey/

- It already has a more suitable disparaging name than "wet putty look", it's the "primer look": Because the cars look like someone covered them in primer, then clear coat, and skipped the paint to save a few bucks. Of course that's not actually how or why it's done, but if you're going to write an article with half empty angst about it, at least use the one insult that actually kind of checks out.

- Murdered-out doesn't mean "matte black" at all, it just means most of the car's parts were made black (by tinting/plastidip/wrap/paint, etc), regardless of if it's a metallic black, flat black, or matte black. They kept on using such a simple to look-up term wrong and it just really grated my nerves each time.

There's a bunch of smaller things that just scream "I googled a bunch of random words, didn't quite get the meaning, but I'm still going to act like I know a lot about this".
Resale value and cost.

Well done car customization is expensive. Poorly done car customization ends up costing more money as you fix it.

I also dislike having my car stand out, but that's a very personal thing.
Housing prices in London, SF, NYC, and most major cities are insane and unsustainable for all but the very rich. The average person should move and live anywhere else where they can afford it.

The US has wide open country areas for cheap.

I think too often people clamor to a lifestyle they can't afford and make believe it will magically workout.
Their metric of "problems per 100 vehicles" is not very well correlated with what we think of as vehicle quality. If your phone won't pair with car's bluetooth, that's considered just as much of a problem as the drivetrain failing. In their survey summary, they even admit that most issues are with infotainment systems due to things like, "not enough power plugs/USB ports". That's how they manage to claim that the highest quality vehicles are made by Buick and Dodge, not brands like Honda and Audi.

Also J.D. Power is pay to play.[1] From the WSJ[2]:

> Each year, J.D. Power & Associates gives out quality awards based on surveys of thousands of new-car owners. It sells the results to auto makers and charges licensing fees for using the survey's rankings in marketing and ad campaigns. According to one car maker, J.D. Power charges as much as $300,000 for copies of a survey, and the same amount to use the awards in ads. J.D. Power declined to confirm its charges.

Reflectors glow only when somebody else lights them up. Background-colored cars makes it a lot easier for two unlit fools to connect. Head on.

Black suffers from this somewhat, but less since backgrounds on the road are rarely black until the hour when headlights become essential. Muted grays are a handicap all day long in any form of suboptimal weather.
> and as each year passes with still no meaningful democratization of this tech, it's becoming doubtful that these limitations are the real issue.

I think it's pretty easy to see that each transaction costing a few bucks (or tens of bucks at it's peak) is a huge issue if you want more adoption.
In a class where we were writing a parser for math expressions, this was my plausible deniability scenario when I named the functions whose job was to analyze characters. Looking back, I'm sure the teachers were not at all amused.
I think that's the main benefit by far - avoid useless debate. The icing on the cake is that I can write code in my style (tabs instead of double spaces, parens on new line, whatever) and then have my IDE or a CLI command refactor to the team style before putting up a PR, so it's really not an issue.

I usually default to some large company's style guide so it's difficult to argue against. For example, for .NET we use Microsoft's style guide for React we use Facebook's, etc.
Still no trace of that feature for me either. Is it officially launched?
To which I have to keep linking this comment[1] which explains why Enron would reasonably take longer than FTX. If you don't want to read it, it's:

A) Massive corporate hierarchy in which to untangle responsibility vs SBF and a few others,

B) Complex accounting subtleties vs "lol we gambled customer deposits", and

C) Lawyering up and denying everything vs blabbing to every journalist he can[2]

In practice, the reason he hasn't been arrested is because of jurisdiction and the delays extraditing him, not because it's just so hard to make a case.

Lol. The USA is the premier terrorist nation in the world, they funded Al-Qaeda and countless anti-communist militias and right-wing terrorist cells across the world. So according to your definition, the USA deserves to be invaded, since they are "a terrorist nation".

Also, Ukraine has not been a real democracy for a long time. The communist party is banned (https://ukrainetoday.org/2022/07/05/ukraine-banned-the-commu...), Zelensky banned opposition parties (https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/3/21/why-did-ukraine...) and opposing media (https://europeanjournalists.org/blog/2021/08/26/ukraine-pres...).

Also, can you get more sadistic in your message? Afghanistan and Iraq also had million of people who suffered tremendously from the criminal, genocidical invasion of their homeland. Ukraine is a developed nation, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, all the countries that the American Empire invaded were poor, underdeveloped and were already suffering without a war. Is disgusting how little value the lives of "poor brown people" have in the eyes of "the West".
Agreed.

In fact, I had an instructor in college that would have marked you down if a quiz/test asked this question and you wrote an entire paragraph describing call-by-value versus call-by-reference.

On the final, he said "Each of these questions is answerable in 1-3 sentences. If you're writing 1-3 paragraphs, you're wasting my time and I will subtract points even if your answer is correct."
The energy stored in your walls is much higher than the energy stored in the air. Swapping out all the air for cold one will reduce the total energy stored in your house very little. The walls will reheat the air. Same with letting AC air escape for a minute or two.

Ask HN: How do you cope with existential threat regarding career?
With the recent development in AI, for example stable diffusion, my hobby as an artist has been almost non-existent. No matter how much time I spend on my art, I will not be able to compete with AI models. These things are not going to slow down. Often times, I feel like the process of using AI-generated art and augmenting it with my own projects is more productive than creating my own art from scratch.

Adding ChatGPT to the equation, the threat has doubled. It has just started, yet it can do remarkable things. This is like the AlexNet moment in the field of computer vision. There was a time before AlexNet. Now, most research and implementation involved using deep learning in one form or another. I have been in this field for a long time, but I don't have any substantial work to show for it. I feel like my effort wouldn't make a difference. As long as I am improving, these models are able to improve at a faster rate. Of course, I cannot compete with the top researchers at these big labs. So whatever I do will be insignificant.

I have been trying to change my field from AI to something else, but it feels like that would be a wrong decision. However, just being in this field would make the problem even worse because I would never be as competent as the quality demands. The skills that I learn from AI quickly become outdated compared to other skills like management and software engineering. Whenever you involve humans in the equation, you have to learn different things surrounding it. But if you are just doing AI research for a long time, all you get is the ability to read papers and perhaps implement them. It's always a rat race where you are constantly chasing something new. I feel that doing a regular software engineering job would be much easier and exciting because it's just a job and you can have other hobbies. But with AI, you have to read relevant papers on your spare time just to keep up. The innovation and progress are so fast that it's almost impossible to catch up.

I feel like my career has ended before it even started.
One small spark of reality is voiced in this comment ^^

Life HAS NO MEANING

Who ever started this idea that growing out of the slime mould on some obscure planet implies "meaning".

WTF is "meaning' anyway?

Isn't this just another way of asking "How does all of this affect me?"

The incredible level of a self centered view of the universe is one of the human primate's most distinguishing features...

BTW, I have one son, in his 20s. It's been both fulfilling and excruciating. I'm happy he was born, and I love him very much.
Encoding and compression also have the property that they vastly change the data _representation_ of information (often changing it completely). Yet, the underlying thing reamins the same in a way that's easily recognizable by a human. This is similar - sure, a transform is being applied that changes the representation of the data. But, ultimately, it's just mashing together large chunks of other people's IP.
I don't believe this. Almost all mainstream languages use pass-by-reference by default. Java, python, javascript all pass objects by reference.
> the language toolchain is still a singleton. You can't easily use multiple C++ compilers in the same build. This doesn't feel like a language limitation

If you're still struggling with this, a solution is to use ExternalProject to create a "superbuild" top level project that has various subprojects being built with different toolchains.
I'm curious on why you think reporting has been abysmal in Ukraine?
Official word on Linux and Mac support is soonish [1]. They didn't have any experience with packaging on those systems, which seems like a totally fair prioritization to me.

I was personally able to download on Linux (Pop!OS) and run it without enabling proton experimental or installing anything else. Worldbuilding didn't seem noticably longer than classic.

People pay to live in urban centers to not sit at home. They're there for that aforementioned action! But on a more practical level, a lot of people enjoy being able to walk to the gym, supermarket, cafes, restaurants, etc and when working from home you get to utilize that luxury even more often. My days are often littered with short-to-medium walks
Normally it’s important for karaoke that the singer’s voice is amplified to (above) the volume level of the song, and from the description they don’t seem to provide that.
I don't know man. This feel like the biggest leap to me personally as I'm using it since when I got my first DSL connection circa 1999. I didn't feel that way about Wordle, even though I played it and all the fun variations.
Heat pumps have come a long way. https://youtu.be/MFEHFsO-XSI gets into the energy efficiency of heat pumps and their temperature tolerances.
Yep. That sums up all the words of the post. What a waste of time it was to read that.
>they are consistently the fastest streaming devices I've owned,

As someone that works on set top box / streaming chips, I don’t think you realize how low that bar is :P

The prev gen ATV 4k is clearly superior, I’m not disputing that. But ‘snappy’ is a relative term. I expect a lot more out of a device sporting the chip it has. I regularly get input lag, stalled apps (that the system cannot recover from for some time), bursted input (like it doesn’t debounce queued remote inputs after stalling)

There are systems level issues that remain unaddressed, and I speculate they are due to hardware bottlenecks somewhere .
The divide in expectations is funny. Non-Apple-user: "ML stuff? Must be 'in the cloud'." Apple user: "ML stuff? Must use a special chip in the device."
Imagine that from 2035 onwards, only EV will be sold in Europe and now we are banning the use of them because of potential black outs due to high energy costs.
No, she can't. For the simple reason that it'll risk getting hacked the moment it's connected to the Internet.
This is a deep topic. But the short version is that let's take a paint called PR4 from the factory. If they were spraying this color in the morning in the winter, and or afternoon in the summer, even at the factory it won't perfectly match. Now give the recipe of PR4 to a body shop and it doesn't matter, they'll need to match it anyhow.

As to why panels aren't replaceable. It's cost and weight. If your panel just unbolts, you have the weight of bolts and fasteners, durability of it becoming loose, assembly time at the factory, etc. For modern vehicles, a lot of the class-A body panels you see are structural components. Without these, you would need a stiffer unibody or frame. Cost and weight top to bottom.

Environment would be better off if it was much cheaper to repair things instead of just buying new.
How is this hypocritical?

Thesis 1: I wish to consume meat/animal products

Thesis 2: I want to avoid animal suffering wherever possible

It would be completely consistent to only consume small-farm-raised animals which live a content free-range life, up until the moment it is quickly and humanely slaughtered.

My grandmother raised sheep and chickens. I don't know how the sheep met their end, but the chickens were slaughtered by a quick snip with very sharp scissors to some neck arteries; they were dead in seconds. The most suffering those chickens experienced was annoying grandchildren who loved to chase them.

If, hypothetically, all meat was sourced this way, the subjective experience of those animals is no worse, and most likely far better, than their wild life.

Personally it looks more like a no-code tool as it doesn't really focus on the code aspect.

An IDE should have the text in the forefront, enable all the things an IDE normally does, as well as have a preview mode where you can visually edit.

A Dreamweaver for React.

In their defense it looks like they expect you to focus on the text part in your normal editor.

But at that point they should make this a VSCode extension or something.

Having your source being modified from two programs is... silly.
Ancient human relative Homo Naledi used fire, cave discoveries suggest
Universal Basic Income would only work if it were truly universal, as in everyone in the world would get $2/day rather than Americans getting $40/day. The alternative is that a small in-group outsource all their real work to an out-group that doesn't receive UBI, so they are incentivized to stagnate and keep working conditions low for this out-group to make the most out of their UBI.

This is exactly what is happening in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The government employs people who have zero-accountability (often not even requiring attendance at work), so it resembles UBI much more than a bullshit job. Saudi Arabia has actually recently been transitioning to true UBI with their Citizens Account program

I don't really think this is on Apple, but I find it funny that you need to pay Apple (by buying an iPhone) in order to get their anti-stalking features. My grandfather, who never used a smart phone, would have no way of knowing an AirTag was being used against him.
That's generally true, but I don't think it is in this case, as when I argue about this I argue in good faith. When people downvote someone for saying that one cannot claim to care about animal welfare while paying for their exploitation, I can be generally certain that the reason for the downvotes is because they don't like having cognitive dissonance pointed out.

Do you have specific suggestions for what would be a more reasonable way to point out such dissonance?
Here are some of my current material:

- I have a great time listening to "Software Unscripted" podcast.

- On youtube the channel "code opinion". Although I don't like or use DDD and C#, I think that it has high quality and rewarding content.

- I am currently finishing "A Philosophy of Software Design" by John Ousterhout.

- Regarding articles, I read stuff related to my day's obsession or problem. I can't point you out to one. I mean, what do you need to evaluate/learn?

If you need something more specific topic-wise I am glad to share with you

> Can you explain how Founders are employees in this context?

When founders start, unless they're hands-off directors, they'll be CEO/CTO/etc, which are employee positions. They'll get a salary, because they're employees.

> I read this as pg being focused on justifying post-acquisition wealth.

I don't see why. It makes more sense to focus on founders if he's talking early stage, where you can string a load of systems together to produce a business process. As you get bigger you'll probably regress to the mean of driving processes through admin and management staff, unless you stay laser-focused on keep automation around.
Sure, SQL knowledge is helpful but optional.

There are ways to import CSV or other flat files, either on the command line or on dolthub. You just need to make your file's schema match the table's.

Did the government sell these technologies? If not then how do the people make money from it? Sounds like the government gave it away for free: how can they now charge for it? Especially since tbe government mainly researches ideas rather than products. Should we pay Gutenburg's estate every time we print something? Perhaps Feynman gets a cut from nuclear power plants? Last I checked patents expire after 20 years. If the government has patented any technologies that are active, sure, let them charge for it.
Do you have any evidence for what you are saying? It sounds like the rabbit hole I went down after watching the recent Netflix series Ancient Apocalypse and discovering pretty much all of his assertions can be refuted by just reading the Wikipedia for each “ancient” site such as this.

It is an interesting design problem for sure. I'm not expert on this stuff, but the first thing that comes to mind is gravel roads. Plenty of moon rocks would be available to be crushed into gravel. You might not even have to do that. Robots might be able to rake up enough material of suitable size.

Once you have your gravel, use robots to make a path and compact the regolith. Put down the gravel over the compacted regolith, and there's your road. I have no idea if that would actually work or not, but it's interesting to think about.
We also need to start acknowledging most medical care is urgent and not a choice.

I grew up under the thumb of Christianity; the form that only thinly veils their contempt for most of the world, and disguises hate as piety. I mention this because it absolutely colors my view of that community, and I want to acknowledge that up front.

With that said, what always struck me as odd is that Christians seem to believe Christianity is the source of their desire (and all desire) to do good. The source of morality, good will, selflessness, personal sacrifice, etc.

When I escaped from the bubble, the first thing that hit me like a train was that I saw all of these qualities - often in an even purer form - in people from all walks of life, including many atheists.

Over time, I came to realize/believe that these qualities are deep within humanity, and probably have a large impact on why humanity has progressed in a way that is unlike any other species alive today.

Religions are implementations of these underlying traits, not their source. It is for this reason that many religions share so many commonalities. They are invented by man, and stem from the same underlying realizations that many thinkers have had throughout history, spanning civilizations and geographies. And as man made concepts, they are just as susceptible to corruption and misuse as any organization.

With this framing in mind, I try to interpret the world views of religious folks much like I would a developer who centers their life around a particular language or development stack. There's often a lot of truth in what they believe, even if that truth is not unique to the particular implementation they chose.

The difference is that devs generally acknowledge that their path of choice is just a preference and not some absolute truth. Choosing Python over Ruby isn't going to send a person to hell, although you'll still find those "this is the only way" tendencies from the most devout.
Living in the rust belt, I have come to enjoy owning gray (or at least mid-tone) color cars. In the summer, we get dust and dirt which looks bad on light-colored cars and requires frequent washing. In the winter, we get road salt which looks bad on dark-colored cars and requires frequent washing. Neither is near as pronounced on gray, meaning I literally never wash the outside of my car. Rain and snow do it often enough for me.

I find myself usually telling the kids in the car to pipe down and let the artist sing.

It seems that your kids are the intended target.

Kids love to sing along with music. You've already discovered that.

You must not have 10 to 12-year-old girls. Put a couple of them in a room, and eventually they'll start singing.
