Replying to remind myself to check back here, because I agree with giaour and I'm curious where the misunderstanding is.

Being an employee is simple - do (good-enough-to-not-get-fired) work, get paid. Entrepreneurship requires you to identify a target market, figure out a product that would work for it, create that product, market it, actually sell it, ship it, do the associated financial admin, and probably a bunch of other stuff I'm not thinking of. The amount of potential gain-per-effort is higher than in employment - but the amount of work you have to go through in order to get to that point is also higher.
Again: not the only complaint about the center console!
why not say sell it and give the money to something you like, like charity.

> Apple has agreed to drop all employee gagging clauses related to workplace harassment

How long before Apple and an employee start disputing about whether an employee’s public comments relate to “workplace harassment” (now allowed) or other matters (still prohibited)?

I’ve heard a number of stories about situations in which an employee says they are being harassed/bullied/etc and the employer insists “no, this is just performance management” or “no, the employee just lost some internal argument over business strategy/technical decisions/policies/etc”. Maybe sometimes the employee is right, maybe sometimes the employer is right, maybe some cases are more grey and it is harder to say.

Oh no I'm accused of being anti-intellectual. Wait, see:

>put the recommendee on the back foot where they're refusing to read a source as offered

Let's circle back--did you honestly expect people to buy and read a 224 page book that you couldn't be bothered to summarize (besides touting the Amazon reviews?)? What's the conversion rate on that? Or is it more that you can recommend a book, people don't read it (surprise), and then it's their fault for not finding out the facts?

Something that bothers me both about Duolingo and Rosetta Stone (and similar apps...) is that they don't let you fail enough. What I mean is - when you were first learning your native language, you probably mispronounced lots of things and didn't understand the grammar. But you kept going, learning as you went. Duolingo et al. want you to get the pronunciation of things correct before they will let you go on to the next step or lesson. They want you to absolutely get it right or else you find yourself in a cycle of trying again, to the point of frustration.

My German was probably pretty bad for a long time. It took a decade+ to get any kind of accent and comfort with the language (especially since I wasn't living there for most of that time). But I was up and running with the language, having conversations, reading the news, listening to podcasts, etc even if I wasn't "perfect." That, to my thinking, is at the core of what I need a language learning app to do - get me to the point where I'm making progress with it and forming my own thoughts and statements, don't hold me back because I mispronounced an accent or missed the gender on a word, etc.

My own experience with Duolingo is that it is ok as a way to memorize some grammar, but the lack of context is a problem. Random sentences just designed to mix in vocabulary don't seem to be as useful as contextualized learning, IE: at the train station, at the bank, etc.

Funny enough as an eng manager and later a product manager, I've argued (and won, once) that my product shouldn't exist. I got promoted for that :)

But more to the point, devs and PMs have managers and at some point, some manager is "paying" for both products and must be weighing the pros and cons of consolidation vs separation.
So uhmmm
As a probably silly idea, I wonder if the panels could each sit on an inflated/foam and buoyant pad, be chained by flexible cables and then be pinned to the ground at intervals. That might give it some flexibility in the event of flooding.
On most solar farms, the panels only cover about a sixth of the land area, or less. The rest is taken up with accessways between the rows of panels, and roads around the outside. Check out some photos, for example https://energy-cc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Benbole-S...

The reason the rows are widely spaced is to minimize shading by a row of the one behind, when the sun is low in the sky.

With the panels being flat on the ground there is no shading problem. Laying them side by side eliminates the gaps and they plug together so there is no wiring to do. Omitting the racking eliminates its cost, the time to install it, and the wiring between rows.

Etc.
Seriously, why reinvent the wheel?
That question goes to what the value of news is. Is it to be an informed citizen? A weekly digest is more than enough then.

There are other purposes though. The news is often the center of important conversations. You’re going to be out of the loop a lot if you don’t at least see daily headlines.

Anything more than that? For the vast majority of news items it’s just not that important. For example, I got a push notification at 3:44 am that Kyrsten Sinema is leaving the Democratic Party. Did I need to know that in that moment? No. Did I need to know it at all? Questionable.

I'm not even sure living in the country helps that much on its own. The issue is that the vast majority of your language intake comes from your immediate surroundings - the media you consume, the friends you have, the books you read, the place you work, etc. I've seen a lot of language learners move to a country, take classes, but get stuck in an expat bubble. The worst part is, when you take classes, you're surrounding yourself with other non-natives.

For most major languages, a heavy immersion is possible in your home country, especially with the amount of media that's now easily available. Heavy immersion is very effective, but it's also extremely difficult to pull off. The AJATT guy[1] was a big advocate for it and was extremely successful with it when it came to Japanese, but even he couldn't replicate it for Chinese from what I recall.

If you're not going the heavy immersion route, I guess the best thing would be to just have fun with the language, pick up what you can, and accept that you'll never be great at it.

Given the post here a few weeks ago about tracking people through writing style I actually wonder what the point of usernames is.

Maybe it should be possible to have a username so people can activity follow you and see other submissions?

And maybe it would be nice if each time you posted it generated a unique username so that it's anonymous? You could still keep e-mail registration/verification. And perhaps still give moderators access to the master accounts in case they need to see if a user is constantly promoting a company or constantly engaging in anti-social commenting.

My information appears to be a few years out of date - probably from the last time I had this debate here on HN. 2021 does appear to have been a particularly bad year...

Regardless, the numbers are very good for the US, compared to the rest of the world. iihs.org[1] indicates the US is averaging somewhere around 1.5 fatalities per 100 Million miles traveled.

Compared to the rest of the world... that's pretty decent. Most of the places with significantly high fatality rates are not the places that will be purchasing self driving electric vehicles anytime soon...

Actually, a luxury combine would be a good idea. You're spending 12+ hours a day in the thing at harvest time; you should be as comfortable as possible.

It's the one you brought up, so I responded to it :)

The two major complains about the center position that I recall from the Tweets are having to get out at toll booths and to present paperwork, and the inability to reach the mirrors to clean them. I address both in my post.

I don't recall the other complaints but even assuming they are legitimate minuses, at some point they would be legit tradeoffs vs fuel economy right?

I've come to a very similar conclusion. The absolute only way to learn a language is to have an incentive to learn it, IE: to be exposed to it constantly by work, daily life, romance, friendship, IE: whatever it is that is providing the regular need for the use of the language. People who say they are bad at languages might be surprised how fast they would learn if they were suddenly forced to learn by necessity.

I'm sure keeping the flow as smooth as possible starts with the shape of the nose. A flat brick of a cab will make the effective cross-sectional area larger.

I also just tested now and reproduced the bug. The key thing is that you are pasting back into the calculator – which presumably is just stripping letters.

The behavior is maybe a bit surprising, but I could also see it being defensible. You can't type "1e20" into the calculator, so why would you be able to paste it in?

Outside of plain text, I don't think clipboard operations are necessarily expected to be reversible.

I have spent a lot of effort in Duolingo in multiple languages, that I now use daily. Imo it's a mediocre but _extremely_ convenient way to build a base of vocabulary, but it is completely different to seriously learning a language (unfortunately). As far as I'm aware this applies to all the apps - real human conversation is very hard to usefully simulate.

That doesn't mean Duolingo isn't useful, it's definitely helpful, even if you're living in a full immersion environment, but the map is not the territory. If you really want to learn to talk to people, you have to talk to real people. It is a completely different thing to just learning all the words and grammar, far more than I realised before seriously getting into languages.

Alas, I've had to sit through "contrarian" nerds regurgitating various freakish takes that typically drift towards the same ideological valence. Because of this, I quite enjoyed an hour of rather well-informed dunking on Freakonomics.

To an extent, it's salutary: the whole TED-adjacent ecosystem favors storytellers over actual expertise, and it's helpful for me [an author of grant proposals] to review cases where compelling storytelling went too far.

Funny, I've been using the MDN docs and took a look at the Chrome docs today. Some of the conceptual info was easier to track on the Chrome docs where the Mozilla side seemed to jump too low level too quickly.

> give us more cores instead

That should be a pretty obvious conclusion--higher-clocked cores is better than wider cores, and wider cores is better than more cores.

This is kind of like what LLVM MCA does.
The very first complaint about the center console is neither of those things (and the mirrors are actually about the shape of the cab, not the position of the seat; that makes sense, because the standard position of a driver's seat doesn't make it easy to clean the passengers-side mirror.)

The 3 is the most functional car I've ever had. It's stripped away all of the repetitive and unnecessary stuff I had to do when I'd sit down in a car. Yes, it's made accessing buttons more difficult, but those are (personally) all buttons for things that I don't need to touch while I'm driving.

That said, I'm not sure I'd buy it again due to (effectively) political bullshit. And the choices for this semi do look like they're the opposite end of usability compared to the 3/Y.

I gave a talk about the various options I considered in the beginning, it's linked up on top of this thread by someone. In short, I didn't really care to have to design a CPU, I just wanted to drive a framebuffer. The PIC was a pretty poor target for what I had in mind, but I did nearly settle for the J1 which is a gorgeous design, the 4kb program limit was pretty tight, and it ended up being quite slow when emulated on the NDS.

I wrote a couple of notes that might interest you:

https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/devlog.html
Actually, the '816 segmentation model is worse than the 8086. For one thing, code can't overflow from one 64k bank to another. Once the PC goes past $FFFF, it rolls over to $0000 without changing the bank.

The only new registers are the code bank and data bank registers, and I think the code bank register can't even be directly set. You have to do a 24-bit JMP or JSR, and that automatically changes the bank.

The A/X/Y registers all get extended to 16-bits, but A can be addressed as 'A' and 'B', two 8-bit registers. A mode change is necessary for this.

It's a particularly hard CPU to generate code for. There's a commercial, free to use for private use C compiler, but most people use assembler.

Pointers are a pain in the butt... You have to use a direct page memory location to fake a 24-bit pointer. On the 8086, you could at least use the ES register to point anywhere without a DP access.
Yes!! itertools. Always be aware of itertools.

The web hasn't removed anything and it's still going strong despite dozens if not hundreds of deprecated features.

Windows has barely removed things and similarly is going strong.

Backwards compatibility is an extremely powerful and desirable feature. There's other ways to keep the working set of complexity in check without losing compatibility (eg linters, modernizers, or profiles)
Meta-analysis of the heritability of human traits based on years of twin studies
I agree. I've had an open mind to the possibility that Twitter's policy was inconsistently applied based on political affiliation, but I have yet to see event one piece of evidence that's held up under scrutiny. At this point you have to conclude that it's simply a conspiracy theory.
I agree about the cloud having the potential to be a good fit for CI builds, but I don't think it's there yet as there is a time overhead with turning on and off a cloud VM.
Ideally, we would have serverless functions doing this, but most cloud providers limit the run time for those.
Another problem is that a lot of build systems are single threaded, and the chances of finding a server CPU that runs outperforms a 5Ghz home CPU are very low.
This opens the door to unscrupulous apps that deny you access if you are using fake data, in the name of tracking you.

Also, an app is merely a suggestion of what to run on a CPU. What actually runs, and what data is provided, is my decision, since it is my hardware.

I was trying to build a B2B sales/marketing app and all the ML stuff we wanted to do required business data, which was too expensive for us. Long story, but after a cofounder blow up, a failed acquisition, then covid being the final straw, I started poking around during lockdown on how to get business data at scale.

I ended up building an API to look up any business by domain/name, which has been particularly popular for fintechs. It's more or less fully automated now and is a nice income stream.
Agree. It’s hard to have a conversation here, but I don’t know exactly why. I suggested once that if usernames were just bolder it would make a difference. Avatars seem like fluff, but I think they really do make it easier to spot a familiar “face”.

Oh, also… I do check “threads” sometimes if I want to keep up with a conversation.
Your critique makes sense, it reminds me of an electric truck startup called Edison that was started by a former truck driver: https://www.edisonmotors.ca

Basically the exact opposite approach, they started by bolting together mostly commodity parts. It's not pretty in a consumer product sense but for industrial users I get the sense that sleek is not good if it comes at any cost to serviceability, durability, parts commonality, etc. I don't know if that specific company will go anywhere but I like the approach.

My first thought was "what about the Halifax explosion" but they mention it, and also a bigger WWII explosion, both of which were bigger but with fewer casualties:

On December 6, 1917, the French vessel Mont Blanc accidentally collided with the Belgian relief ship Imo, in Halifax Habor, Nova Scotia, Canada, and exploded with the equivalent force of 2.9 kilotons. In another wartime accident, on this occasion during World War II, an underground munitions storage depot at RAF Fauld, England, saw 3,700 tons, or 3.7 kilotons, of bombs explode en masse — leaving a crater that was 130 feet deep and 0.019 square miles.
