Once again, everything said here applies to the minimum wage too. The minimum wage kills jobs. A position that provides $5 of value per hour can exist if you pay people $4, but it can't exist in the US because we have a minimum wage above $5. As you say, that is a pure numbers question and I have no problem with the math. I would have a moral objection if someone proposed that we abolish the minimum wage to fight unemployment because I think a job should provide for a certain quality of life in a developed nation. Jobs that can't provide that quality of life shouldn't exist.

The motivation behind the minimum wage is so people can supposedly afford all those things that you highlighted as things people "deserve". The reason employees "deserve" to get benefits from their employer and not housing is because we as a society have decided that an employer's role is to provide things like health insurance and not housing. That decision is mostly arbitrary in hindsight, but it is the system in which we live. I would be happy if we decided to change that and disconnect health insurance from employment, but that is a harder fight than just mandating employers provide it. You are making perfect the enemy of the good in this situation. When the difference between the two is millions of people continuing to suffer for years if not decades, we should go for the quick good over the hypothetical long delayed perfection.
I think the hackery's necessary in that it's necessary in order for him to have completed his books with as little effort as he did. Writing as well without the hackery would require coming up with better theses (which would mean jettisoning weak ones when you realize they're weak, and starting over, rather than plowing ahead regardless—this could be a long process) and a lot more time finding and evaluating evidence.

Good writing ability (for certain definitions of "good") plus hackery are necessary if you want to make the economics of your writing work as well as he has, writing airport nonfiction books. Writing non-hacky nonfiction is takes a lot more time and (perhaps) more talent.
> We can only assume they overlooked it.

I don’t think they overlooked it. I think they designed the cab to be as aerodynamic as possible, so as to squeeze out every bit of range they could … and this dictated the driver position.
Hence the big "IF".

Still, some companies will be able to realize the gains. They can invest in solar on site. The people purchasing these often have warehouses with 1,000,000 sq ft of roof space.
I cook afterwards. The bean starter raw, it contains live bacteria and yeast that help to break down non digestible starches, etc.

There are similar methodologies where you ferment cooked legumes, like making natto, miso or tempe. These do similar things but have entirely different flavors.
I disagree, the success story has details that reveal lots on what's going on.

> The team uses software to prototype their instruments before implementing hardware designs. With the basic software platform already functional, developing the wavestate using Compute Module 3 took a fairly modest year

From that I would assume that software is developed on regular PCs and it took a year for them to get the software running on CM3 and hook up the CM3 to the two circuit boards and various systems. Which is super fast.

> The setup has two circuit boards. The main panel board contains all of the user interface elements, including display, buttons, knobs, wheels, and other synth-specific controls, along with MCU microprocessors to support them and communicate with the CM3.

Main board has all the physical buttons, knobs wheels, displays etc and MCUs are used to communicate with CM3

> The other circuit board has subsystems for audio, MIDI, the musical keyboard, and power, plus the socket for the CM3

The 2nd circuit board has D/A converters, midi connectors, keys and power and the CM3.

The CM3 is basically responsible for all the computations on the device. It gets inputs from various sources and outputs constantly digital audio to the DAC, midi to the midi out, data to the display etc.

I guess this would be the part where details would have been nice, but there's probably lots going on. How they ensure low latency function of the synth platform, how does the development process go, how does the CM3 integrate with the various systems. Each of those would be very indepth stuff, but imo the HN relevant part how they sped up the overall development of the platform and that is covered by the article.

Anyways, the cool part is how the three devices use the same hardware, so Korg can basically recycle both hardware designs, components and software from synth to synth. This speeds up development and reduces costs. Super cool.

Comparing that to how synths were made in the 80s, where you had to have a separate board per voice and replicate all the analog components between voices and keep their power usage and heat in control.

Thomann has nice pictures of the synths. The reuse is very obvious:

Yep we do it every year. It's also super expensive though, basically $50 for 2 minutes of time and a pic. Growing up my family could never afford it and I was sad as a kid that I didn't get to talk to Santa.
I mean, its normal to use the instructions for floating point math even when its not actually vectorized, so they are in there all the time. And a 64bit target will tend to enable SSE2 which will get you quite a bit of auto-vectorization.

Every single thing the author said seems like it would apply to drivers who don’t need sleeper cabins, other than the lack of bed space of course.
> Automation, which had already come a long way in Lafargue's time, could easily reduce working hours to three or four hours a day. This would leave a large part of the day for the things we really want to do, such as to spend time with friends, relax, enjoy life, and be lazy. Lafargue argues the machine is the saviour of humanity but only if the working time it frees up becomes leisure time. The time that is freed up is usually converted into more hours of work, which he compares to more hours of toil and drudgery. Working too many hours a day is often degrading, while working very few hours can be very refreshing and enriching, leading to general advancement, health, joy, and satisfaction.

Doesn't seem like a privileged argument. If the needs of a society can be met with 3-4 hours of work a day and automation for the rest, fighting to work only 8 hours a day does seem to miss the mark. Whether 3-4 hours of work a day is actually enough is a separate discussion worth having. There is good evidence supporting the idea that with more free time employees could get done in 30 hours a week what they are currently doing in 40. But he's been demonstrated to be absolutely right with regards to where the spoils of increased productivity go. It rarely if ever materializes as less work or better pay for the masses and always seem to be funneled to the moneyed class instead. I hardly think it's privileged to believe that the progress and advancements made in a society should benefit everyone instead of a handful of already extremely wealthy people.

This reminds me of something like what was written when various other Tesla models came out with tons of people complaining about the design, only for them to go on to sell extremely well.

The vehicle had been in testing with real drivers for years. This is one of the longest development periods for a new Tesla vehicle ever. I’m much more likely to trust that over someone on Twitter who starts his first comment with a clown emoji and makes large parts of the post about Elon. He won’t buy it but plenty others will.
Not that strange IMO. This is the same guy that wanted his own boring machine. I don't really have the impression that he's a sports car guy.

I don't think they were saying they are mediators or settle feuds. I'm sure a bunch of people at the companies are pissed at the conclusions they come to. It's moreso though that precisely because they aren't tied to any feudal relationships within the organization they're able to be more impartial with their research and cut through bureaucracy.

Certainly though if all they're doing is parroting back conclusions backed by "research" that the exec who hired them wants to hear then they aren't providing much value, other than perhaps providing air cover when some decision, any decision, is better than no decision and gridlock.
Amazing! Care to elaborate more?
You can't simply expect truth to win. History shows time and again that a lie can circle the world a hundred times before the truth even gets its shoes on. Misinformation is viral, information is not. Lies are simple, the truth is often complicated. Charismatic con men and charlatans appealing to base emotion, rumors and conspiracy theories often short circuit reason and rationality in ways that a presentation of facts to the contrary can't repair.

If your top priority is ensuring the playing field is always even between truth and lies, and that lies are always given a fair shake, then you're just rigging the game for lies. The truth only wins and holds precedence in an environment where lies can be recognized and fought against, and prevented from manifesting their own reality bubbles.

Banning misinformation alone isn't enough, and yes it can certainly be abused, but it is necessary.
A larger but well insulated cab could have a lower A/C energy cost than a smaller but less well insulated cab.

More air volume doesn't dramatically change the energy footprint when a stable temperature is being held for a long period of time. With sufficient insulation, the main consequence will be greater hysteresis, i.e. bringing the cab to temperature might consume more energy.
Author here, while us-east-1 has disproportionately bad uptime that's not our biggest concern (two nines is actually okay for our use-case!).

Nah. As the sibling says, these types do heap allocation, and a lot of embedded programs simply don't have a heap.

As esteban says, these types do get used more often in async code, which I don't write a ton of at the moment.

But more importantly, I think that if a beginner tries to use arc/rc to "get around the borrow checker" it introduces even more pain. It's not a beginner's tool, it's a possible misleading path. I left a comment a few years back with a practical example here; while the root cause isn't refcounting, look at how much ceremony they add https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24992537

If we were talking about clone, however, that would be a different story: clone is often a great tool for beginners who are struggling with a design that fits into what Rust wants.

And even then, the comment didn't qualify as "beginner code" or "expert code": it said that Rust programs generally "make heavy use of reference counting" and that's simply not my experience, nothing more, nothing less. Not only with my own code, but code I see others write, and libraries that I and others use. YMMV, as always.

I wonder what happens after a major rain though. I suppose the panels are weatherproof. But they lie directly on the ground, and I did not notice any mention of a drainage system. The panels will eventually sag under load from rainwater, preventing it from flowing off them.

They mention that their installation can withstand a hurricane. I understand how it works for the wind load, but every hurricane I witnessed brought a lot of rain.

EDIT: Apparently they embrace flooding, and say that their panels and connectors can withstand being submerged in water. That's the spirit.
At some stage there was a squad on StackOverflow who closed all Rust related beginner questions and it was impossible to get started. Most devs new to Rust do not understand &str and String and 99% of the content about is how implementation details backing those types are different. I have not seen any blog post, documentation about how and WHEN to use &str vs String.

I want to have a function that returns the UTC now as a string. Now what? Opening a question on SO -> question closed, here is a question about &str and String that has nothing to do with the use case and everything about the implementation details of &str. Good stuff.

I think the creator of Rust assume that if they explain where a piece of data is allocated suddenly everybody is going to be on the same page about the use of that data.
This seems much easier to clean? A gigantic flat slab is pretty easy to automate something vs disconnected racks.

It shouldn't matter what it also is. There's plenty of illegal drugs that you could give to kids that might give them a high but would also help them stay focused in school, that doesn't mean we should be ok with drugdealers pedling drugs to children.

It is consistent with the meaning of bourgeoisie then, which transposed to modern systems means more like "the owner class" than the contemporary social connotation of well-compensated professionals. Owners benefit from more/harder work, both their own and that of others, and so it (reasonably) becomes a class value for them.

A non-owner worker doesn't benefit in the same way, but many still value work in the same way the bourgeoisie do. Workers don't benefit like owners do and so they shouldn't want to work like owners do. That's the point being made.

You reply makes no sense. On a grammatical and conceptual level.
I don't know if this is related to your experience, but one thing I have noticed a lot is that new Rust programmers experience some friction point with the language and suggest some sort of change to address it. This sort of feedback almost always seems to be rejected by other Rust users.

I don't believe it's out of a sense that Rust is perfect as it is. There are loads of discussions about where it does a poor job and how it can be improved. The problem is that the feedback from these new users is usually poorly received because the person has an incomplete understanding of the language. They may not understand that there is another, easier and more idiomatic approach to whatever problem they experienced, or they might not understand the values that underpin the language (Bryan Cantrill has a fantastic talk on this [1]). Others being uncompromising in these respects might come across as elitist or condescending.

You are talking punish first, then have a trial later. Regardless of the rules of evidence, or who is suing who, the reason we have courts and trials is to allow both sides to be heard, and a decision be made on who violated the law, and then on how to remedy it. You cannot have justice if one side is not heard, or is put out of business before getting to make their case.
>I argued this law is a bad one, and your defending it by arguing that we should have labor laws. I agree, I just think this law is a bad one.

Yes, because your argument is not specific to this law. For example:

>And this law does not make all workers better off. It makes some better off and other worse off.

I can't disagree with this. It is true. It is also true of the minimum wage. If you want to argue that these jobs are good for society, you need a stronger argument than people will work these jobs if they exist.
I didn't say shut up, and I didn't say your opinion is invalid. Your opinion is valid. Please stop putting words in my mouth. All I'm saying is I don't feel there's a need to come to any conclusions about the design until we've had feedback from people who have actually used the product in the real world. I can't believe anyone would consider this an unreasonable stance.
The amount of power landing on an acre is fixed, what you can achieve by tilting is having less solar panel surface area per ground cover area. If solar panels are cheaper than the mounting hardware (wow) then there is no reason not to let them lie flat on the ground (it's not as if the racks were holding them above tree shadows, or anything).
This is false.

My residential retail electricity is 0.098 per kw-h. Midwest prices are generally decent, but the town is buying from ~1 large utility to get that rate, with a few solar panels perhaps lowering costs some of the time. Seems like there is room to do better just going to market, and there is certainly room to do better by buying directly from new solar installed in the next few years.
