It‘s fine in practice because most things are automatic or only needed when parked and also because the lane keeping and adaptive cruise control aka Autopilot makes a very brief distraction less of a problem in most situations. There are with two exceptions:

- Opening the glove box. This should be possible by pressing the box, it could visually look the same. Instead it requires drilling into a touchscreen menu.

- Music pause/like/seek. The buttons are too small to easily hit them while driving.

Yes, they are. If you think they're scientific, do the work to demonstrate it to modern levels of rigor.

> The concept of "wage slavery" is basically, "you are not free to not earn a wage because you will starve".

This is the baseline for basically pretty much all life on earth. You will die unless you perform labor to interrupt death. Your body itself must perform labor in order to generate the energy and to allocate the resources you provide it to survive as well. If you expand the definition of slavery to encompass labor, then all living things are inherently enslaved until they die. Philosophically that might be interesting in its own right but it's not actually a very cogent critique of labor nor does it justify the use of the word, "slavery."
Is SWR so well-known that no definition is needed at the beginning of the article? I have no idea what it stands for or whether it's an open-source library or some vercel-specific optimization.

EDIT: Nevermind, the entire subdomain is about SWR, you can just go to the homepage.
That was my take as well. I don't intend to adopt passkeys until they have been around for a long time, and hopefully some of those growing pains will be teased out or it is apparent that its a walled garden.
Gladwell later changed his view on the 10,000 hours thesis. In the foreword to "Range: Why Generalists Win in a Specialized World" by David Epstein, he openly says that.

I don't think this is a failing of Gladwell, though. He truly believed the Outliers thesis at the time and was, in fact, partially true.

"Range" by David Epstein is a fascinating book.

Being too lazy seems like a waste of potential.

Not being lazy enough is also not good; you burn out or lose perspective.
Of course not. 99.999% of the "daily news" or "social media" content is not so time sensitive that one needs a constant feed of it.

I don't do any social media. Well, okay...there is my occasional jaunt (like weeks or more between logins) into the fediverse via Mastodon. But it's not really "social" the way I use it.

And HN is about the only news I ever seek out. And even that is a low-priority task -- like right now I'm here for like 10-20mins because I have some time to kill before kicking off the release of a product update.
The issue with ground based traffic is that you have a lot of non-moving objects around you, like trees, walls, animals, etc. So even if all cars drive at 250 km/h, those non-moving objects still remain there and pose an ever increasing risk with increased speed. Furthermore, curves are more dangerous at higher speeds.

Roughly how much "work" does every person in the world need to do so that every person in the world can live a minimal but decent lifestyle?

Of course, some people will want and take more than "decent", some people are disabled so its unreasonable to expect and unfair to demand for them to contribute the same amount, some people genuinely like to work all sorts of jobs (including hard labor), and speaking of, there are different jobs and no one way to quantify their "work".

But this is a good starting point to answer the question: how much work is "enough"? With modern knowledge and medium-scale factories, can people spend 15-hour weeks producing enough to live comfortably, or do you need the average person to work 20-hour weeks of hard labor (or have 1/3 of the population work 60-hour weeks)?

The two time periods you have quoted are not necessarily non-overlapping time periods. Nothing from your quote implies that the couple of years begins at 2021.

Falling between two dates does not imply that it fell uniformly or that it fell for every year between those two dates.
That doesn't seem to be the case at all? The windscreen complaint is about what happens when the vehicle is parked. The baffling "seat is in the middle" decision affects all drivers, both when passing (ever driven in the UK for the first time and tried to pass?) and at toll booths. The muddy floors are worse with short-haul drives, since you're in and out more often. The tablets impact anybody driving at night. The only long-haul thing I really see here is the bed thing.

I don't think Tesla knew all of this. I think they just fucked it up.

What's your source for this? Most sources I'm finding say alcohol-impaired driving is involved in about 30% of US traffic deaths.
>Once again, everything said here applies to the minimum wage too.

Yes it does. Minimum wage is a stupid policy for the problem it's trying to solve. We should do better, and the fact that we haven't done better isn't an excuse to keep making new stupid policies.
Yep. I always say “oh, I’ll keep my leet code skills up!” But I can’t for the life of me reason that it’s a better investment actually building things and by the end of the day I’m too burned out.
Melting 2" of accumulated snow from a 2m^2 area would take ~2 kWh which is roughly 1 mile of range or 0.2% of the battery, if my very approximate calculations are correct. Or, exactly 0 miles of range if you are plugged into a charger at the start of your journey.

But I think the original thread is right that you'll need to manually clean ice and snow off the windshield which, unlike the AC thing, definitely seems like a legitimate complaint against sloped windshields (though I have no personal experience on this point).
My panels were cheeper than the mounting equipment... If I had tons of space I would scale up panels and put them on the ground instead of mounting/tilting gear.
I think "couple" is pretty typically accepted as being "two", at least in most US settings; I can't speak for international variations. In my home area of central Pennsylvania "couple" is a more general, meaning anywhere between 2 and 4, but I think that usage is rather the exception than the rule.

Nonetheless, we can probably give them a pass for saying "couple" instead of "nearly three" since January 2020.
Ask HN: What are people's thoughts on product tour builders?
My PM is trying to bring either Pendo or Appcues into our product so they can add tours by themselves when we launch new features. I'm a bit wary about 1) having them attach stuff to random elements that I won't really have visibility into 2) having 3rd party code executing in the client

I also think most of those tours kind of suck, and that they probably won't be that effective.

Anyone else have experience with them? Am I off base? Strategies for pushing back?
> A lot of Tesla vehicles feel like they value form over function.

I generally find Teslas to be pretty unattractive from the form perspective. Body-wise, the Model 3 looks too "tall" to me from the back. The interior doesn't look spartan to me, it looks empty in a cheap sort of way. For the models where the touchscreen is on a mount rather than embedded in the dash, it looks bolted-on rather than designed.

Sure, these things are subjective, but I don't really think Teslas look all that nice, inside or out. My feeling is that much of the drooling over Tesla aesthetics is Musk's version of the Jobs Realty Distortion Field. Sure, early Tesla models had body designs way better than any other EV out there, but other manufacturers are catching up, and IMO the Model 3 is a step back, aesthetics-wise, from the Model S.
But still better than growing corn or soybeans on the ground.
I've seen that as a meme and/or talking point, here on HN, far too many times.

Your alternatives are to be independently wealthy, own your own business, to be a subsistence farmer, to work in a co-op, to be on welfare, or to work for wages. Those who trot out this line never specify which option they think is better. Either they haven't thought that far, or they're thinking we're all going to work in co-ops, or they're thinking the rest of us should support them. But that just turns into more slavery for everyone else...

(I will give the more thoughtful ones the credit that they seem to want co-ops, or full-on communism, which could be considered co-ops on a larger scale.)

In the meantime, we are also doing research on how to improve SWR with these new abilities of React.
I use a Raspberry Pi as my backup orchestrator. It backs up my Linux desktop, my wife's Windows desktop, and a couple of other Linux based devices including itself. Every night, it:

* Mounts the external drive.

* Starts Restic's Rest Server.

* SSH into each machine to be backed up to kick off the script that will backup to the above server.

* Stop Rest Server.

* Rsync the external drive to my office (which is a 25 minute drive away) for off-site protection.

* Unmount the external drive.

* Emails the results of it all to me.

Has been working really well so far.

Notes:

* The RPi has limited SSH access to each machine. The only thing it can really do is start the backup script on the machine.

* The Linux machines are on all the time, but the Windows machine sleeps. So first it sends a wake-on-lan. Using Cygwin for SSH and scripting on Windows. The script on the Windows machine sets the power configuration to not go to sleep during the backup, and restores the setting afterwards. Restic's ability to create a VSS snapshot on Windows is awesome.

* I still need to incorporate my two kid's Windows laptops into the backup somehow. I doubt the wake-on-lan tricks will work reliably with them. I've yet to explore Urbackup which I think I can use to have them backup to my Linux desktop periodically when they are awake.

Maybe it is just because I learned to code back when people learned from books (sometimes even textbooks!), but I think the fastest way to learn to code is to get one good book on whatever language you want to use, and just start coding. Videos and tutorials are so low bandwidth, hours of videos and tutorials == the intro chapter to a book. If anything videos are eating the time you could spend reading and coding.

Yes, very much agree. If I get sucked into HN and blow a big chunk of the day on stuff like this, I feel quite terrible at the end. I feel so much better when I can look back on my day and see accomplishments.
> I guess the author wanted the pile-on a bit, but the rest feels a bit more like "this isn't how we are currently doing it so it's just wrong", especially when it comes to the shape of the truck.

I got that impression, too, but in more ways.

1. The interior shots I've seen show blind spot cameras (on the tablets that he doesn't like). That seems like it would address the problem with visibility from the center driver position, and probably goes a long way to addressing the mirror-cleaning issue he mentioned.

2. Why couldn't Tesla just have a little wiper-fluid squirter on each mirror to clean it off remotely? (and do we know they don't already have that?)

3. Tesla already coats their glass roofs with something that blocks lots of IR and UV, but little visible light (and makes the roof of older Teslas a very strange color when viewed from outside). I would assume they are aware of the HVAC issue and apply a similar treatment to the Semi windscreen.

Tesla has been testing these things for like 5 years now, and the Semis have been seen at Pepsi warehouses for about a year. It seems unlikely that Pepsi would take delivery of a truck with such obviously fatal flaws after a year of acceptance tests... so I bet there are mitigations for most or all of the issues identified.
The UK was until very recently part of the same market, with no reason to change all their truck design rules after Brexit.

The US/Europe scenario is not the same.
I really like Fireship. I don’t think I’m in the market for a sub-based learning product but his YouTube videos are always incredible
Can you define "private informations" and "need" in unambiguous ways, please? In my experience it's shockingly hard to do so once you get beyond the basics.

Even when you have clear legal obligations to collect a bunch of private data, you still have to figure what reasonable measures to protect it are. What's a reasonable measure when you're obligated to keep seven years of financial records about your customers in a way that lets you produce ready reports for regulators? Complete with mandatory personal identifiers for tax purposes?
I'd say one of the worst things about this truck is you cant bail out of the thing as the door is behind the seat. Ever see that video where the tow truck driver bails out after the truck he is towing slides off the icy road and down a steep hill and takes the tow truck with it? You don't have time to walk around the seat.

The driver sitting in the middle makes it clear no on at Tesla ever drove a truck. I have and the driver sitting in the middle does will not help with visibility. You want to be able to stick your head out and look right down the side of the truck. This is important as you cant see everything from the mirrors and in addition they can be broken, missing, iced up, fogged, etc. Same with cameras in case you thought they are solutions.
I was a very early adopter of AWS back when instances did not have permanent storage options. AWS and other cloud providers were a huge part of my career for over a decade.

I have found myself shunning them in recent times. Not only for the cost, but the excessive complexity. Not every application needs to hyperscale. Most of the time a simple server takes care of it and we can move on to better value adds.

With the commonly available gig+ fiber plus good open source tools I find myself hosting things myself at home or on simple clouds like linode, digital ocean, or ovh.

Recently got a NUC i7 with dual 2TB SSD, 8/16 cores, 64gb of ram for $1200. I run proxmox on it as a hypervisor and management. I front it with a $5 haproxy on linode and connect it all up with Nebula mesh vpn. It works really well.

Xcode didn't work out that well under those circumstances, which was one of the driving forces to create uxn. Another is the desire to make programs that can run pretty much anywhere, and will remain possible to run in the future. Similar to how you can run NES roms on lots of devices.

Great work.

Sorry side track totally. as part of my degree is under a Chicago School professor, who I respect but still his work find puzzling. Can this be a counter-example … just like many others open source project. The problem of public good i.e. those unlike fish cannot be eaten. He went on to do work on trademark, copyright and patent. Well copyright is what open source rely upon he would say. But what is the incentive of doing it. Would the total output less because of this … he would ask.

The question as normal here: why not say sell it and give the money to something you like, like charity.

What you say is true but I interpreted his complaint as being about the increased sunlight heating up the cab, rather than changes to insulation or air volume.
Yes, that's what I said. Do I seriously need to explain words?
I have seen a bit of that, but no more than in other language 'communities' (I mention Elixir and Clojure a few times here, because these are the most recent languages I've been a beginner in).

But that's not what I mean. I'm referring to the denial in the Rust community that it is difficult, when people are expressing the difficulties they are actually experiencing. The default position amongst Rust enthusiasts is simply to deny that the difficult thing is actually difficult. I have not experienced this anywhere else. You can even see it to some extent in the official tag line "A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software". As this axiomatically applies to 'everyone', it logically follows that if you can't use Rust to build something or you're having difficulties doing so, you are either a bit dumb or lazy.

Now of course, if I really drew this inference merely from a marketing slogan, it would be a cheap shot. But I find it pointedly representative of the Rust culture at large. It is polite, and often fairly helpful, but there is a sort of glassy indifference towards struggle or friction. Asking questions online about Rust often feels to me like talking to a corporate rep.
