An electric truck can cover a lot less ground with a full battery charge than a diesel truck with a full tank am I right? What happens to the price of essential goods like food and medicine since the cost of transportation to poorer areas? Does it prevents more deaths or does it exacerbates issues like infant mortality on poor areas?
That's how liberals fight the second amendment in the US. Continue to pass obviously unconstitutional laws that they know will inevitably get overruled, and then pass another slightly different one once it does. Constant state of appeals. And nobody gets any recourse for squandered rights in the end. No politicians are barred or held accountable for their blatant abuse of the legal system. It's like a DoS attack on liberties.
The apeish immaturity of decision-makers in power that really do too much misleading for being called leaders.

Neither Ukraine, nor Russia, nor humanity as a whole benefits from Russia's actions. Even Putin's legacy doesn't. It's truly a loser's race to the bottom.

But you know, this is still regretfully humanity's doing.
They aren't wrong. Kids in my family wanted v-bucks for fortnite in prior years. None of them ask for cash. It's digital money like robux or clothing from terrible brands like Nike.
Completely agree, that's why this Lago is interesting to me instead of using Stripe services. I'd rather use Stripe for the bare minimum so I can implement support for a backup provider as well.
Nextcloud ecosystem is best of class rather than best of breed. Not every app is the best, but many are under active development and improving rapidly. I might have too many eggs in one basket, the the maintenance is very easy this way.
Sounds like shit to me.

How much time do you spend spinning your tyres and braking so hard you skid?
I do exercise, and that doesn’t raise your protein requirements as much as one would think. It’s only relevant if you’re looking to be a competitive athlete, which I am not.
You're right, Russia is justified in their actions to reclaim Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.
The Tories said no to onshore wind, now solar is getting really cheap they are banning the building of solar on most farms (by reclassifying low quality land as higher quality land that must be used for food).

At the same time they are thinking about allowing wind on land again (probably because it will no longer be the cheaper option).

Given their links to fossil fuel interests it comes across as delaying tactics.
> Because the patches weren’t accepted as is, they hard forked.

They weren't accepted for years, and if you're being honest, they never were going to be accepted. I'm guessing you thought Bram was also arrogant for forking vi?

>If the permissions included "can star repos", instead of just "can read/write repos", then sure.

There could be perfectly legitimate reasons for a "can star repos" permission as well, with no way for a user to know beforehand if it's going to be abused or not. How about a site wanting to ask a user something like "Hey, you've been using this service for a week now. If you want to support us on Github by starring our repository, click here." for example?
It says "volatile pay is stressful and affects health badly".

Not about "stress in a bad way" as opposed to some "good stress".
"Lua itself isnt a very good language" is very subjective.

The API is pretty well documented now I think? If there is a specific area that isn't, then file a bug or write the docs. It is an open source project and thus is heavily depends on people contributing to make things better.
Absolutely. I have an EV that has an "aggressive regenerative braking" setting where pulling your foot off the accelerator slows the car considerably. In that setting I almost never touch the brake.
You don't have to fully skid the thing to see a benefit from better control over the breaking process.

From the skid marks I've seen on the highway, rare skids seem to pull off a significant amount of rubber in one incident.
On a bird's eye perspective... you know as much as I love and enjoy crafting with css/html/javascript ... as I grow older I am not that entertained in having to learn yet another API to do the same thing that we did years ago, only "more elegantly/faster/with less code/etc".

The truth is, if I'm perfectly honest, that to KNOW those APIs in itself, is not real knowledge. It's just empty. Talk to your wife holding your newborn, about the latest tailwind version, or native Javascript additions. Seriously who gives a flying rat's ass?

At this stage of human evolution, we live in a reality bubble where we're told that a life "well lived" is one where you have a "real" job, and one where you "work hard". And your parents tell you to "become somebody"... well maybe it's because they have never know anything else?

Maybe the best thing that will come out of artificial intelligence, is to destroy all this supposed knowledge. All those mountains of nothing.

Imagine you create a new API for a service, and EVEN WItHOUT feeding any examples to the deep learning, it manages to figure out the best way to solve xyz problems using your API, and even highlights inefficiencies in your API. Now we're talking. Why would anybody waste their human potential writing the 1000th tutorial on how to use your API ? That's gonna be replaced by another better API from someone else in 5 days?

I love my work. I love CSS; JS .. I really do but honestly it's also all so empty.

Would I do it all over again? I don't even remember how I wrote in assembler on the Amiga and 486. How I used the copper/blitter etc. All vague distant memories. Everything shifting...

edit: I guess this comes off as a mini rant, simplifying. Not sure what my point is, frustrated with what "learning" means perhaps. Frustrated with the notion that knowledge is repeating stuff.

Actually here's a good question : are teachers really necessary or have we yet to envision a world where children, helped with AI tools, can learn whatever they want - as an innate ability? curiosity?
> the more API coverage a platform can provide the better

This is a very common opinion of people who consume APIs, but people maintaining the APIs often feel differently. Every API endpoint is a promise, and it's also a constraint on future innovation. Firefox is a good example, in that their old API allowed extensions to "intimately intertwine" [1] themselves, which proved a huge barrier to improving the Firefox core.

You could just run ICE-powered cars on cleaner fuels like propane.

There's a reason warehouse forklifts - which drive around inside completely enclosed buildings - run on propane.

While supporting a couple of the most common ones directly is worth it, building deeper integration with a specific auth as a service provider is thinking about the process backwards.

The business value for the authentication as a service companies is to make it easy to Integrate with them in order to benefit from the extra capabilities they offer, via standard mechanisms that make their service a drop in component of a larger stack.

Authentication Services are already commoditised, and they are complementary to your business, and you don’t even have to do extra work to commoditise this particular complement! Just don’t fall into the trap of thinking it’s worth doing more. Auth0 can give me SMS based magic links, while simultaneously tying those to an azure Active Directory primary user to determine if the owner of the mobile phone number is authorised to use a given application. I have all that power, all that and more via your tools and frameworks… anywhere that supports the OpenID Connect standards as a relying party. Don’t think “deeper”, just think about getting the standard part done, and leave deeper authentication stuff to the company that want authentication to be their entire business. It’s worth noting that OpenID Connect does enable using almost any other social provider a customer might want, since having a big swathe of social auth options is usually feature #1 for an authentication as a service product or service.

Also it looks like passport.js supports being an OpenID Connect relying party already thanks to a couple of libraries already on NPM. Looks like it was a good choice of JS library/framework for this job, (I don’t live in JavaScript so I stopped keeping up with all the libraries and frameworks years ago, so I have no idea how ubiquitous or obvious the choice of Passport.js is)

The oil industry is throwing stones in glass houses when they try to bring up externalities about renewables. Nobody has ever invaded another country over their solar, wind, or even hydroelectric resources.
Thank you so much! I will definitely have to look into that!
Russia produces lots of these things as you're saying, and as long as they continue to do so they'll be fundamentally fine. I don't think QE will help though.
+1 on the elitism.

This whole attitude that OAuth is some fundamental Law of Nature written on tablets our forefathers brought from the mountains high - oh, the horrors of someone with a GitHub account not knowing it!

These are probably the same people who will interview a candidate and fail them for not knowing something they themselves learned over a weekend three months ago.

Grow some empathy, folks!
If these kinds of diktats will be common, I assume nothing more contentious than sports teams are legal to discuss. There has to be exceptions in the hr area as medical matters and coverage will or can seem political. Nothing like religion, hunting, … and certainly no discussion of appearance or dress or anything re non professional social interaction as all of these will annoy or hurt coworkers.

Companies should publish their newspeak guidelines to simplify dealing with this stuff.
There's an entire universe of people making business decisions who live in excel and "BI" tools. If your thing doesn't speak ODBC / JDBC it's invisible.

Further, the vast majority of workaday devs are stressed out and under tremendous pressure to thing all the things in their ticket queue. They're probably pretty fluent in their thinging language and likely also conversant in SQL. Asking them "hey learn this other query language, because" is just adding stress to them. Sure, some are going to rise above and promql things too, but for lots, it's telling them to "write a distributed map reduce query in erlang."

Try making your own once rather then buying from store. The flavors developed are rich in comparison.
I dunno; the article seems to make the perfect the enemy of the good.

Are most meat substitutes maximally healthy? Probably not. Are they likely healthier than the red meat they're replacing? Yes.
My guess is that it is primarily a cost issue. Beyond meat is 2-3x more expensive than real meat in most grocery stores I have seen. I know we subsidize the meat industry in the US, but it’s not clear to me if this is because of that subsidy or their business model just isn’t competitive yet.
Didn't know about that one.

I note that the successful argument was based on the imagined impact to the tourism industry, rather than the visual effect per se.
The hilarious part too is that the same contingent also ignores the screenshots showing that the "Libs of Tiktok" account had special rules around moderating it. So much for "silencing conservative thought" (if you can call that Twitter account "thought").
oh yes, absolutely. fixed my comments above.
I do believe you. But is there a link I can check, or someone besides you who has researched this?
Yes exactly. But I don't think QE will help.
We bought our Electric (a 2012 Nissan Leaf) in 2015 - after it had come off of a lease and the owner didn't want to buy it out. There were piles of early Leafs on dealer lots. Drivers had finished their leases, which had been incredibly attractive, and they all came up at the same time. So the prices were reasonable, and the cars were really nice (all top trim)

I don't think EVs have commoditized and hit true economies of scale. Aside from the supply issues related to the pandemic, the only thing I see slowing it down is if governments fail to push Automakers to start making more.
despite knowing about what Kiva robots do at Amazon, apparently I've been living under a rock for how things got along since. Fun trivia from that video: Ocado is using off the shelf xbox 3d cameras to check the packing grocery box.

I'm unsure if I personally am in need of prepackaging an order living in a city. Having 5 minutes on foot to the next market I like to see it as a break. But different lives, different needs.
If you were starting something like that today you might have GPT-3 write the posts. That's one case where you really might not care if it is right or wrong.
Something that makes this a little harder to analyze is that there is robust demand for the "Russia will collapse tomorrow" thesis, and pushing back gets coded as pro-Putin stooging. I worry that it makes the public conversation a little unmoored.
The deadliest war before WW1 was the Napoleonic Wars (which essentially set up the then-existing European system), and before that, the Thirty Years' War and similar wars of religion were incredibly destructive.

When were "the good old days" you were referring to?
>She especially disliked the fantastic lies told to children – the tooth fairy and Father Christmas and stories with talking animals. She saw them as an indulgence on the part of adults:

"We are amused by the illusions, the ignorance and the errors of the immature mind, just as at a not very remote date we were amused to see an infant laugh when it was tossed up and down, a proceeding now condemned by infantile hygiene as wrong and dangerous in the extreme. In short, it is we who are amused by the Christmas festivities and the credulity of the child."

I mean it's pretty strong viewpoint to have but there is some validity to it. As a parent I have this low-level guilt to the day when we have to explain that or that they discover on their own Santa is a well intentioned fictitious character. It does feel like this Santa / Tooth-fairy thing is created for the benefit of adults with children getting some value out of the exchange (and some cost as well).
> Why the fuck does my car need an internet connection when nav isn't being used?

So they can update the firmware to fix (recall) issues instead of having you go into the dealership and pay someone to hook up a device to your car to do the same. This counts as 1-4 hours of labor--depending on how much of a pain in the ass it is to access all the car's ECUs/MCUs/systems.

I think it's important to note that the car only needs to be online for this to work. The automotive manufacturer does not need to know a damned thing about its location or regularly track your car's movements for this to work. A simple wifi connection to the Internet would work for the same purpose.

You should also know that newer electric vehicles have built-in Wifi for communicating with charging stations so they can keep track of various data fields about the batteries (e.g. temperature, charge state, etc). No reason why they couldn't also use that to download firmware updates when necessary.
Not really. Biden just asked twitter take down his sons dick pics.
> Most people don't mind the ads as well.

In my experience, non-technical users dislike ads as well, they just don't know there's something you can do about it.

You need an instapot.

It won't make it faster (wall time), but it reduces your effort to virtually zero. Dump the steel cut oats/milk/water in, push the magic button, and come back in 25 minutes. I've been eating this daily for breakfast for a couple years and it's great.

No continuous stirring to prevent scalding the milk, no slightly burned milk welded to the bottom of your pot, etc.

The recipe I like, fwiw: 2 parts (I use 1/2 cup) Bob's Red Mill steel cut oats; 3 parts whole milk; 2 parts water. 10 minutes on high pressure.
I wonder when we will start to feel guilt for supporting these businesses that run exclusively on the desperation of giggers.

I come close when I order food on rainy stormy nights, I sometimes think about the person sent to fetch me my meal; the risk they put themselves in and the meager pay they get for it. I tip, but just the average. I won’t tip extraordinarily because I use these services too frequently to make it practical.

Indeed, it seems for us to live luxurious lifestyles, an entire class of people must be held at the edge to fulfill our whims.
Nice to see this trending up the page today. Neovim has a great active community and is a very fun application to use and work on.
> Ford won't even sell anything smaller than a compact SUV in North America.

It's easier to meet US fuel efficiency standards with larger cars. There's ramps on the standards, so small cars are disappearing; small trucks are already gone.

An 80s s-10 or similar with a regular cab and small engine is low weight, fairly small footprint, decent mpg, etc. A 2020 small truck built in the same footprint, but with a 40 year newer drivetrain would be pretty useful, but nobody will sell those in the US. Yes, you couldn't fit more than two people comfortably and three if you squeeze; yes, you couldn't (or shouldn't) tow anyhthing of stature; but it would be great for people who need an ocassional truck for furniture or dirt or etc, and don't need people carrying capacity. Light pickup truck hybrid could sip gas, and stuff the batteries under the bed for plug-in range, and also keep weight on the rear.

Kei trucks look fun too, but hard to import them.
Whenever I make the mistake of discussing anything political on Hacker News, I remind myself after that I appreciate HN for its purely technical discussions.
The cost per mile for electric vehicles is lower, not higher, and improves the more miles you put on them.

I had an innate negative reaction to your post and had to spend some time thinking about why that is the case.

I think the biggest thing that caused it is the implicit assumption that increased fear for leaders would lead to better government outcomes. I'm not very confident that this is the case.

I think the other part that triggered me is that an implies some singular authority that is determining the value of human life and doling out justice, but choosing not to, when in fact there are practical considerations. Who would hold these leaders accountable, and how? If leaders flee to venezuela, should Iran declare war on venezuela? Should the US step in and attack venezuela?

Overall, I think civilization benefits more from a population that cares about the impact leaders have on them when in office and are satisfied when they are out of power. I don't think an increased amount of bloodlust and revenge in society is ultimately prosocial.

Bloodlust and focus on revenge is a genie that's hard to put back in the bottle once it's out. Endorsing it at a state level can trickle down to how individuals behave. I wouldn't want disenfranchised voters or employees murdering anyone that they felt wronged by in the present or past
> An electric truck can cover a lot less ground with a full battery charge than a diesel truck with a full tank am I right?

No. The 500ish mile range on these roughly corresponds to the maximum amount of time drivers are legally permitted to do in one go, and most trucking is short-haul routes.
I dont question the teaching of 'goodness and culture', but how deep do you teach it? Imagine our ultimately technical society manages to build an education system that is so personal that it directly reprograms you. You go to school, hook up your airpods and get the program.

How will culture change if everyone has exactly the same culture and goodness?
Mostly... unless you get a few servos and an Arduino. That's all I needed to start down my path from my "below the glass" 100% software job to working in robotics and making the magic work "above the glass".

This was, in my experience, not true. Ask most Tesla owners as well.

The heavier car + much better acceleration created more tire wear than any improvements to traction control from faster power response (though I'm not sure intrinsically why that would reduce wear - ICE cars can apply brakes to a slipping tire just as well as an EV, and instant torque doesn't feel like it would do anything positive for tire wear).

Fitting lower rolling resistance tires on ICE cars would provide any of the same benefits that EVs receive.
Russia’s been threatening to nuke everybody on a regular cadence for a decade. What’s different now is their threats are being broadcast more to western audiences who are not used to nuclear threats. Nobody in Eastern Europe has been phased by the threats for years already, so Russia’s been trying to find a new, more “naive” audience.
I agree, but the reality is that the most egregious offenders of consumer rights tend to control the markets they exist in, and the diligence required to effectively "vote with your dollar" is enough to overwhelm even the most staunch among us.

I've always found Ivy Lee's essay "Mr. Jones' Dilemma" to be a great summation of this problem. I'm having a hard time finding it online, but I'll link to it if I find it.

Edit: can't find the essay anywhere, but it's the intro to this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36077624-mr-lee-s-public...
Scotland has one of the biggest gas fields in Europe, why should it rely on ugly and unreliable Wind turbines? Esp Global Warming probably makes Scotland's climate more comfortable, and its proximity to Greenland means sea levels might even fall.

after a few dark months of largely staying at home and watching youtube all day, he's doing great now, working at a game development collective sort of thing making stuff with other creative people. I'm actually a bit jealous of his situation now, because I had to leave that career behind, but I'm really happy that he got out of the depression-hole ("bad stress") and is now actively working with other people directly (in-person, in an office!) making cool stuff and vibing with other creative minds, even despite having deadlines to deal with ("good stress"). he seems happier than he's been in years and I'm glad things have ended up working out well for him after a period of darkness (something which pretty much happened to me just a couple years ago, too).
Fair point, I might be wrong there. Intuitively I would think of them as indices rather than delimiters.
