It is some unwarranted psychological condition that can be fixed with education though, because of the unrealistic high standards for EVs that people still hold. If you won't buy an EV because you're scared you'll run out of juice picking your daughter up from her recital, when it's only 10 miles to her practice, and your EV has 250 miles of range on a full charge, that's what makes for "an unwarranted psychological condition". 250 miles (for a Chevy Bolt), or 402 miles (for a Tesla Model S LR) for a full charge isn't at all a short leash, and with quick chargers, it's a 20 minute stop to get a hundred miles of charge. If you're at the point where you're sitting at home, just thinking up scenarios where some hypothetical EV is going to fail you, that's range anxiety. If you're having to keep your battery status in your head, that's range anxiety. If you're avoiding errands and family functions because of you're worried about your battery, that's range anxiety. If you're 100 miles from home and you've got 50 miles of charge left, that's a realistic worry - go to your nearest charger. Range anxiety is a real thing and the faster we can educate people that dropping off a friend on the way home isn't this impossible 200-unplanned-mile detour where there are no chargers scenario (if it is, then your friends need to get their own cars), the better EV adoption is going to go.

That's true, and that's true of other first-world nations, too. America has plenty of problems. However, this fire brigade isn't one of them. It they work through insurance then, if you havent paid the insurance, you shouldn't be suprised when they don't put out your fire.

I was a volunteer fire fighter for a while, and I did it because 1.) I'm kind of an idiot about danger, and 2.) I think it's important to help others.

There are many other people in the US that will go to ridiculous lengths to help others.

> Not only that, the fire department

>refused to accept money to put it out.

It that's how it's supposed to work? Your building catches fire, the F.D. rolls up, and you hand them $75 right there? Are they supposed to carry cash in case you don't have exact change? Set up a stripe account so they can take credit or debit?
We help developers build and scale multiplayer games (https://rivet.gg). Our backend has a lot of moving parts, so we spend a lot of time dealing with moving secrets around. We recently joined the YC W23 batch and launching an open beta next month. Cheers!
But you don’t need any cloud provider other than AWS, so why worry about that?
> But most simply see increased TCO long term on product they are sort of 'stuck' with, in sense they have workflow and tool they are good at, fast, and understand it

This is my exact issue with lightroom. I have 9 yrs of edit history, and workflows setup + a mobile app that seamlessly imports everything from my phone into my main catalog alongside my "big camera" shots. If there was a competitor that migrated all of this cleanly, I'd be happy to modify my workflows to break out of the lock in.
Fully electric buses are pretty common in the UK now and a lot of the rest are hybrid, at least in cities. It makes a huge difference to the air quality when you're on a narrow street that has a bus every couple of minutes like in parts of Manchester and London. I imagine as the fleet turns over they'll get ever more common, although I imagine the lifetime of a bus is pretty long so it won't be overnight.
Cheers, this was a typo - just updated.
Also an NFL fan in a different market than my team. This year I ended up paying for Sunday Ticket, Peacock, Paramount+, and Fubo to actually watch my games. Each week there was some wrinkle that made a game unavailable on ST.

Next year, screw it, I’m just not watching the games. Maybe I’ll hit a bar for one or two. It’s not even the money, which is annoying, it’s the hunting for each game and what service to watch it on. That was really aggravating.
The TV app on iOS and macOS already has a unified search and discovery mechanism. The only content seller missing is Netflix, because Netflix chooses not to participate.
No one needs one. Trivially proven by the fact people had two kids before SUVs existed. And all the people who currently have 2 kids without an SUV.

You chose to prioritize your comfort over other peoples safety.
Yeah, but what if that decentralized network of trustless computers already exists, and transaction costs relative to costs you would otherwise incur are very low?

The premise of your argument is that building a clearinghouse is cheaper and easier than using a blockchain. That seems laughable, honestly.
Of course it's subjective but my feeling is Photoshop hasn't added anything of significance since they went subscription. The majority of new features have been cloud intergration (something not even many of Adobe's employees want) and UI tweaks

They're even removing features

ChatGPT is surprisingly good at synthesis. For me that's where it provides the most value. You can ask it write an essay on a novel prompt and it's able to spit out something decent, if perhaps factually incorrect. A lot of work still to do here, but the progress leads me to believe that a decade from now essays written by people will be considered novel.
I can’t find the Weissman score on the page, anyone know what it is? 3.8?
Maybe you live elsewhere, but in the US it's common for statements to be available for only seven years, and if you close an account, its online statements are gone for good. Bad marriages and good investments can last far longer than that.
According to spotifyd/Cargo.toml is uses both librespot and rspotify.

Librespot is the a level playback client that reverse engineered what the native Spotify desktop apps do to get, decode and play a music stream as a connected device.

RSpotify is a high level client that uses the Spotify Web API which can control what is playing on any connected device.

Neither of which should be confused with the Spotify Web Playback SDK which turns your browser into a connected device provided it supports the right DRM bits.

What ist you question about?

Is it about how to run cron? This is a thing of the past. As you are asking for 2022, look at systemd timers.

Is it about cheap hosting? The are lots of answers here already.

Or is it about how to monitor a site for changes?
> You can use the "browserless" docker service which contains a headless chrome browser in a docker container.

A lot of websites can detect the IPs from this and block it, basically almostly like a CAPTCHA.

I had other needs like Postgres, etc.

Scraping data is one thing, actually doing anything with it is another. I quickly hit the limits of a $50 RaspberryPi 4 or whatever they're going for on Amazon these days with the gouging, etc.
Also factor in the health and psychological benefits of walking or riding a bike.
Yes, that is true.

But there is quantity and there is quality.

So surely there would be also some gifted people who happen to have the luxory to focus completely on the music they want to make, but those would be the exception.

Proof of work is to prevent double spend, not provide value in some other way--it wastes lots.
it’s also a conflation of two things that are each much more sustainable if kept independent. You don’t want a particular compression pattern becoming part of the S3 standard IMO
People seem surprised by this. Have a cursory read of the terms and conditions - you're an Apple hostage, at their mercy.

Why do people accept this?

There's a million different ways around it, but none of them involve accepting Apple and their bullshit.

I buy CDs and rip them to flac, or buy non-DRM encumbered files and sync my music to my own storage.

Looks like a truly solid spec'd firewall | router for me & I'd like to get my hands on one of those.

I have other application requiring at least a display - so exposure to what's out there/coming would be appreciated. Or if I could just get one of those bedrock's w/PCIe slot - that'd sound ideal for me.
I compress things with zstd solely so that I can find out if anyone's trying to consume my stuff with ancient tooling.
That's a great point.

It's remarkable how there are still industries that don't know how to take advantage of the internet to give a great user experience, and whose greed only hurts their bottom line.

It's very simple: I want to watch any content from wherever, whenever, and however I like. Make it cheap and high quality, and I'll pay you for it. Screw this up, and I'll get it from somewhere that offers this experience instead.
I suspect we disagree on what a normie is.

I do a lot of tech support for the elderly in my family and they don't grasp concepts a hundred times simpler than a server/instance, and they're in their 70s. It's not an age thing, it's an education thing. The vast majority of the world is lowly educated.

Besides tech skills, the additional issue is that some people are entitled. They reject any service that adds friction, since they're used to zero friction. The Tiktok effect.

The world, it turns out, contains more than just hammers.

The fediverse, it turns out, isn't primarily a messaging service.

So yes, if you define X as "a messaging service that intends to connect people across the world," then X must support as many people as possible. But if you don't define X that way, then not supporting 100 million people isn't such a big deal. Millions of people are already happily on fediverse servers despite the lack of any current or former presidents there.

People who want to follow whatever Obama wants to say can do so in any number of ways. The Fediverse might be one of those ways, or not, and it wouldn't really detract from the Fediverse if it weren't.

I mean, I see stuff from the most recent former president all the time, and he's on neither twitter nor the fediverse.

Ask HN: Do you need a CS certificate to work in programming field?
I have an elderly acquaintance who is a retired informatics teacher and Windows user and, as I've told that I have been teaching myself CS, he offered to attend some of his private online lessons for free and sent some of his lectures. What's funny: 1) I've heard from him that he taught C++, data mining etc at various local colleges and some universities and about his students, but he never told what he has _built_ with his code; 2) he wrote some article of type how-the-brain-works + fuzzy set theory to explain how the brain recognizes speech phonemes etc, but he wasn't able to pronounce "Ruby" correctly; 3) despite teaching programming languages he is not able to learn English proficiently enough, saying that he is too old to learn any other language.

When I told that I want to build a website, he sent me some master's degree paperworks of his students who built sites for some bs companies, but I am not interested in their industries and would never be fully motivated to build any websites for such companies. One of the advantages is that he may have some connections regarding the local work opportunities, but some of his connections keep reiterating that to get a programming job you always need some certificate of completion of some locally (Baltic EU) tought courses. When I told about HackerRank, numerous online CS learning platforms etc, there was no reaction.

Should I waste my time and attention on this? How can I stop this idiotic circus?

I am tired of all this idiotic circus. I am happy enough by teaching my self CS myself, despite that I havn't made any money with it. I know exactly why it is so, and how to change it. I love my own original interpretation of CS foundations and concepts. I think it is very unique and you won't find it in any current textbook. I can design enough interesting/useful coding tasks for myself by using online resources and I have more than enough free and paid resources online and offline textbooks to teach my self CS myself seamlessly.
0. It almost entirely depends on your attitude about how you move forward. (Edit to be very clear: this is an assessment of what you’ve described, not a generic platitude. I hope the points which follow will give the impression that I do not think you’re an impostor, but that it sounds like you may have room for growth which will make you feel happier.)

1. This is an excellent opportunity. Take as much as can and want to from it. My experience felt a lot like what you describe, moving from a design shop which mostly specialized in brochureware websites a little on the advanced end, to a smallish startup which had more tech talent than it probably should have. After I got far enough into processing my impostor syndrome, I decided to swim (vs sink), and became much more comfortable admitting when I was inexperienced, or ignorant of even “basic” stuff, or just felt intimidated by my preparedness for a given challenge. This had the wonderful benefit of freeing up the “syndrome” portion and allowed me to accept the due praise I did get and see where I did actually contribute value in the ways I expected or better. Then whatever “impostor” was left… I was surrounded by talented people to learn from!

2. Most software engineers are far less productive than one might expect, particularly coming from a high output background. Again in my experience: this is probably a good thing. What’s better than moving fast (regardless of whether you break things)? Moving slow with clear intent, clear understanding of the value of your work, and the ability to sustain it. In other words, you’ll achieve more by being methodically circumspect, and you’ll be less prone to burnout by having realistic expectations.

3. While point the previous might suggest some degree of comparing yourself to others, please resist that urge or at least temper it with permission to be imperfect and frame it as a tool to determine how and what you could improve on. Otherwise you’ll always come up short, especially going in with self doubt.

4. Your self-expectations are different from your employer’s, and from those of your teammates. Seek feedback, often enough to know where you stand in their eyes. You might find that you’re already exceeding expectations! You’ve done this with your somewhat nondescript superior, but it’s good to get feedback from peers too. This is another good opportunity to assess whether (a) you’re working too hard, (b) your priorities are what you [or others] want them to be, or (c) whether you might at some point actually be outgrowing your role.

5. Take a vacation. It’s holiday season most everywhere. If you’re inclined, do a side project that focuses on whatever interests you but might feel a more slight challenge; or just chill because it sounds like you’re doing fine but stressed. Either way give yourself a win.
How can Twitter make money without high engagement scores? Do you know of a profitable social media platform with users that do not partake in content creation and commenting?
I agree that the thing preventing people for years from making their own Twitter Clone was never the technical hurdle of replicating twitter's microblogging platform, but the network effect that Twitter had. Twitter at its source is a simple CRUD system. Yes it encounters exciting complications at scale to manage that amount of data, but its still a CRUD application.

However, if there ever were a time when the network effect could shift enough to "cross the chasm" to public adoption, it is now (and quite literally TODAY).

People are looking for an alternative. Mastadon is the closest to achieving it. There are plenty of things I don't like about Mastadon, but unfortunately I think thats what we have. I do believe that the time is right for a clone to exist and actually gain significant adoption. As more and more prominent "influencers" (i hate that term, but its the reality) move off of Twitter and onto Mastadon, the masses will move where the influencers are. Remember that something like 95% of social media users are "lurkers". They don't create content, they only consume it. So they will move to where the creators are and if their creators are on Mastadon, then the masses will move over there.

Note: "Crossing the Chasm" is a marketing term that refers to the inflection point where early adopters and mass minority have joined a platform, and then majority mass follows. For example, when your parents started joining Facebook, that was Facebook "crossing the chasm".
I'm getting sick of news sites feeling like they have to add their own color commentary to articles.

The title: "American EVs reduced gasoline consumption by just 0.54% in 2021"

Not Bluetooth, but you need(ed?) location permission to send/receive some broadcasts. I have a remote app that needs location permission to send a broadcast searching for TVs, so I have it set to “ask me every time” and imprecise location. (Which on iOS is about a whole city wide)

There’s a specific “local network” permission nowadays so maybe it was the older permission API because you can deduce location from MAC addresses?
sincere question about medical costs of that cancer survival: it seems like a standard thing to compare. if we just look at the non-experimential stuff, is there something interesting? are US treatments better? even if adjusted for costs? can we even compare them somehow? purchasing power parity, sure, and cost breakdown of states/regions, differences in coding, market sizes and thus market efficiency, regulatory compliance costs, cancer base rate (age, obesity, socioeconomic status, air quality, other factors) ... ?

We train AI's by giving them flawed objective functions as well. Nobody is impressed if you are able to copy an image, just use ctrl c and ctr v! All imagines the AI is trained on are worthless, we already have them, why train the AI to generate images we already have?

Too little, too late.

I've been struggling with Spotify's messed up developer experience for years. They deprecated libspotify years ago without an alternative, promised an upcoming alternative for years, and they eventually pulled the plug last year without even bothering to provide an alternative.

I've tested Librespot in the meantime, but it proved too cumbersome to configure and use as a non-standalone executable.

In the meantime mopidy-spotify (the project I've used for years on my RPis) has gone all the way to adding a Docker image just to support Librespot and the whole Rust environment that is required to build it. And, of course, it's not guaranteed that these projects will survive - Spotify can easily snap their fingers, change their API in a breaking way, and we're forced to play a catch-up game again. They have already done so in the past.

I therefore decided that a company that doesn't value my consumption use-cases, doesn't bother for the time I waste to adapt to their changes, and has a bad record of developer experience, is not worth my money. I wish the best of luck to the guys behind spotifyd, but I'm personally done after 10 years of chasing Spotify.

I've moved to Tidal in the meantime. It's still far from perfect, it still lacks an official Linux client and it's more buggy than Spotify. But at least there's a reversed engineered web API that so far they haven't bothered to fight nor change. And that's really all I need to build my music experience.
