Only if they are in our own Solar system. But you can easily imagine a supercivilization visiting lots of solar systems, but not establishing permanent colonies everywhere. As I said, what if 5% of the solar systems are teaming with life? That would still be tens of millions of solar systems in our galaxy. The diversity of life could be something to make Star Wars look unimaginative. And we'd have no idea they are out there.

I’m not sure what these rooms control, but it’s possible the control room is simply part of a greater facility that has a mandate for this. Which makes sense, since there’s something to control here that may be more sensitive / dangerous than the control room itself.
Not the OP.

You're right, it was always 1.9. They're still talking out of their backsides though. If the Rimac supercars can't do it without a fan to suck the car to the ground, Tesla sure can't.

Without a fan you just can't get the traction you'd need. There's no tyre on the planet which could grip that hard.

Additional detail - I suspect with a one foot rollout, on a VHT surface, on a hot day, in ideal conditions, they might be able to get down to a 1.95/1.93 sort of area. But on actual normal road surface, from stationary, with the tyres it comes with? Not a chance. I'd be astonished if they got to a 2.05. 1.90? Not a hope.

Source - knowing far too much about tyre/road interaction.
Do you know how slow all of that is? Do you want to run all of that per every commit? The result would be people making a monocommit rather than incremental commits that is easy to review one by one.
Also, when our bodies store calories (de novo lipogenesis), other forms of calories are converted to saturated fats. It doesn't make sense that our bodies main calorie store would be basically 'poison.' Is starch poisonous to a potato?
> Adjustable wrenches exist for situations where you don't have the proper size on hand.

I would say convenience and use case are just as important. A crescent wrench is non marring unlike alligator jaws or vise grips. It's also perfectly fine for low torque applications. It isn't for torquing lug nuts.

I have a wonderful wrench and socket set in standard and metric measures. It's in a nice case on a shelf in my garage. My crescent wrenches are hanging 5 feet away on a pegboard.

I needed to loosen an RP-SMA connector the other day. What size is that nut? Do I want to break out my wrenches and fiddle? Nope, the nut is only just beyond finger tight so two crescent wrenches and 5 seconds to get it off.
Ask HN: Does TypeScript live up to the hype?
I’ve only ever used vanilla JavaScript ever since I got into WebDev and while it can annoying to work with at times, it’s really well rounded overall in my opinion especially the current version of ECMAScript. Combined with svelte it’s absolutely delightful.

Then I started hearing more about Typescript on Twitter and such and I got really curious because everyone had at least one good thing to say about it - mainly the data types aspect of it. Which is the only benefit that I can really wrap my head around.

Syncing bytes is easy, many solutions exist (and syncthing / syncthing-fork is good at it).

Syncing by merging changes and resolving possible conflicts is a much harder task. Theoretically git has all the right bits, including the pluggable diffing and merging. In practice, I haven't seen it seriously used in this capacity.

This is to say nothing about files you only want on one node but not on another (heavy stuff lives on server and laptop, but not mobile, etc.)

This is why special-case syncing tools that know how to sync semantically are indispensable.
Us being (one of) the first species is the most likely answer IMO. It violates the anthropic principle, but that doesn't account for everything.

By all estimates of the age and expected lifespan of the universe, we are extremely close to the beginning of all existence. We know that life takes an extremely long time to evolve, and life on Earth is young compared to the age of the system.

That we don't see a sprawling galactic civilization means one thing: there hasn't been enough time for one to emerge.

All the great filter arguments fall apart when you consider the nearly infinite nature of the universe. Given enough life supporting planets, at least one species would emerge, pass the great filters, and become large enough for us to observe.

That we don't see anything just means no one is there, yet.

Being alone in this universe would be terrifying and frankly untenable. Being first, however, is exciting.

I doubt that we are the first and only life in this universe, but it seems obvious that we are very, very early in the life of the universe, and we therefore are one of the first species to ask this question.

It's actually better to NOT have this uniformity, so issues can get fixed before the end users complain about them.

I’m curious whether Rivian has an exclusivity deal with Amazon or if they’re totally maxed out capacity wise just producing the EDV.

Watching the YouTube videos about the EDV I was thinking of that dogshit diesel Oshkosh thing the USPS ordered and shaking my head.

The EDV is very Amazon tailored but if the USPS could front some cash to get another factory built and have Rivian produce a truck based on the EDV there I feel like that would be better than getting some electric motors bolted to an armored car like Oshkosh would provide.
What I'm not seeing anybody mentioning is how hard that kind of stuff make it to speak English for non-native speakers.

Coming from French, it's already weird enough that you're allowed to say "n word" or "s word" but not the actual words, as if it was some loophole. That's just not done in French, at least in Quebec. In Quebec, you say the word, you don't or for swear words people use a slightly transformed version of the swear word (like saying shout instead of shit or Oh my gosh instead of Oh my god), but mentioning the word indirectly just isn't a thing.

You're considered evil if you refer to a non-binary person by he or she... but in French there is literally no polite non-gendered pronoun. Our "they" is also gendered. The result is you're seen as mean for thinking in French and just translating as you go. You basically have to think in English to be politically correct, which is pretty hard to do.

Or even the fact that in English black people can say the n word but not white people.
Or the fact you can call Australians Aussies and New-Zealanders kiwis, but calling Japanese people Japs is super racist. I haven't ever seen seen something like that in French so it gets really confusing.

I feel like keeping track of all these intricate rules is basically harder than learning English itself and by adding even more, they're accentuating a class divide between native and non-native speakers.

We got big packs of 11 wolves here in Southern Sweden now and immediately they're talking about hunting them.

I understand, the sheep farmers are getting a lot of sheeps killed.

We've had wolves for a while up in Värmland and those northern parts. So maybe it's not completely necessary for them to spread down here to be preserved.

Once we're gone, they'll come back out and spread south.
Thanks. I understand your position better now, and agree with more of it than I first thought. I don’t think our positions are so divergent as to be problematic in real life - though I suspect I will continue to monitor my speech a little more than I you think is advisable.

I agree, don't underestimate the power of a piece of paper and a pencil. I'm a network engineer and and a very visual person. It's a heck of a lot easier to dump the contents of my head onto paper first than fiddling around with some app. If I need to make something professional to share with others (like a diagram) I always make a rough draft on paper first before using an application like Visio.
> Because materials and labor costs have increased quite a bit.

Obviously housing value increases with inflation. The question is why it increases so much faster than inflation. Yes, there are some natural reasons like land scarcity in the face of demographic shifts toward urban areas, but the biggest reason is laws that have been passed by local legislatures that are captured by homeowners. I think that's a conspiracy.
No, it's ginned up nonsense that appeals to people who are looking for a justification for their anger and sense of grievance.

(just my opinion)

I find java mentally exhausting. I have only ever worked with java once, and it was long ago when I just began my career over 6 years ago.

Since then I mostly work with typescript and go on backend, and the languages are quite simple and strange code can be understood quickly without having to dive too much into documentation and navigating a million folders/layers of OO abstraction.

I've tried getting back into java and each time I just get exhausted looking at the code.

But I think the parents 4 questions are still an appropriate starting point for productive discussion. Are these rights that an individual or organization has? Technology is secondary.

If your answer is yes to all 4 is yes, the answer to 5 is also yes.

If your no or conditional to some of them, then you can discuss where the line should be drawn (e.g. numbers, characteristics, or technology allowed)
for the typical level of work expected, or (as most Americans do with their vehicles) the "max" level of work expected?

This was true during the dot com bust as well. Basically good technical talent is good technical talent right? If things are similar to the dot com post partum it won't be as great for middle/line managers. Those folks often found themselves with a management practice from a company that failed, and that sort of tainted them as well seeing as "management" was considered the reason things failed at the company. In the early 2000's I saw a lot of resumes of "engineers" where their last job was management. Sometimes that was fine, they had kept themselves fresh while managing, sometimes not so much.

It's a hard question to answer. TypeScript catches a certain class of bug, but requires a lot of extra work creating types and essentially over-specifying things. Personally I don't think it's worth it.

Attempts I've seen to quantify it have found that you hit a productivity peak in a team of 5-8 people. Then you need to add processes to avoid n^2 communication overhead. You don't get back to the same productivity until you have a team of 20-25 people.

If you've never worked on a small team, the productivity difference from staying small may not sink in. But they are real and large. And companies should not lightly cross that threshold.

I agree with you that, on a large team and in a large organization, terseness and dynamic typing are bad. But I don't agree that verbosity is not a problem. It absolutely is. It makes you have to go to large teams sooner.
I got laid off twice during the Dotcom bust. Remember that it dovetailed into the post-9/11 stuff too. In Q4 2001, there was just nothing.

I ended up cold-calling various local businesses, got a freelance php/mysql contract for $20/hour, found a different perl/oracle contract for $55/hour in May of 2002, and worked my way back up from there.

> Since all lists are Iterables but not all Iterables are lists, Iterables are necessarily more ubiquitous than lists.

Yeah, that's what I meant by being pedantic :)

Here's a question: you receive a JSON payload that contains a list. You will then pass this list to two functions, one of them only iterates, another one uses list interface (let's say checks length among other things). Should you mark the argument as a list, or as an Iterable in the first function?

Solely from the code perspective, it's definitely an Iterable. But in my mental model it still remains a list. I don't like it when code deviates from my mental model. Forcibly treating it as an Iterable only makes it more complicated, while not giving anything in return.

Sure, you could say that callee should not have expectations of the caller, but what if those functions are already coupled? They are in the same module, and argument names clearly denote a collection. The fact that in certain scenarios it is "technically Iterable" serves nothing but pedantic value.
