Nope. Don’t fill them up to spec while cold, otherwise when driving they will be overinflated - possibly dangerously so.

As you run on cold tires, they heat back up, and the tire pressure comes up accordingly. At moderately cold temperatures (20 or so), that can be about 10-15%. At -20 or so, it’s almost 25-30%. Potential blowout territory depending on your tires condition and age.

In more extreme cases, the tires may look dead flat while cold, and perfectly normal once warmed back up.

The volume of air in the tires hasn’t changed, just it’s temperature. And they’re easy to get back up to temp with some easy driving for a few miles.

Safety is overrated. If safety is the most important aspect of software then we should have been using Ada for everything by now.

The same with idiomatic, in order to write code in a language idiomatically, you have to spend a lot of time using it, and much more time for a huge language like Rust.

Usually people can't afford that, they want to rewrite the extension in a more performant language because they want the speed, not because they like the language they use to implement the extension (may be they do, but that's not the point). So simpler language like Zig is definitely better, the developers can just look at the one page document, implement the feature (with testing and all), then forget about it and come back to the language they are using daily.
More or less. When I first encountered Mastadon, I hoped that one day I could jump from FB to that and not lose everyone I know. Now I'm kinda past the whole "scrolling" thing entirely so I don't think I'm gonna use Mastadon at all. I do think I'll eventually put up some sort of activityPub blog or something though.
I don't know the situation in the US and I don't think EU administrations require firmwares to be locked at the moment, yet I can tell that requesting locked hardware/firmware is a recurring debate within RF administrations since there were too many abuses (cf. this thread "just tell the hardware to lie" or "just use openwrt to disable DFS" above...) and too many interferences to other services (such as wifi-DFS-disabled interfering with weather-forecast radars). The 6 GHz wifi 6E has to coexist with fixed links, and administrations obviously don't want to repeat the mistakes and issues that are happening today at 5 GHz with radars...
I was just reading an interview with Eben Upton about RISC-Vs potential, and his response was that there aren’t any competitive-to-Cortex-A7 chips out there, and the OS support isn’t there. I guess we gotta start somewhere. Looking at the product page through, it seems like the designers are positioning this as a networking peripheral (at least with the expansion board)

I’m surprised to see how little speed-up have happened over the years. Especially when you compare it to something like PHP which has massive gains.

Seems like most of the Ruby gains are related to memory usage.

Another possibility here is that you're own perspective may be biased more than you appreciate. 99% of media content is left leaning? Really? You would really have to do some work redefining the left/right spectrum for that to be anything close to true. What about financial institutions, police forces, energy companies and other mega corporations. Where do they list in your rankings? Are you worried about ideological uniformity there and advocate that they work to be more representative of leftist ideals in the same way you want tv networks to do for conservative principles? When employees at starbucks or amazon get harrassed or fired by their employers for engaging in constitutionally protected activities like organizing a union, where was the right in saying that although they may not agree with them that they will defend their rights and that they don't support cancelling people for expressing their ideals. Was the right there on the side of railway workers who keep the economy running supporting their rights to strike or did they try and cancel them by forcefully taking those rights away? Which side was the media on? The gender and race thing gets a lot of air time on Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiros shows, but there is a hell of lot more to the world than that.

Quite wrong. The market is efficient at solving simple issues.

On the other hand a smartphone has pages long list if specs. And users have divergent preferences for those specs.

The market is only able to find a common denominator that makes everyone equally unhappy. In doing so it transfers power to the few manufacturers who now make choices for the users. Even worse, manufacturers copy each other and follow fashion trends.

It is almost impossible to find a phone that has a replaceable battery.
It is very hard to find small phones.
It is very hard to find phones with headphone jacks.
It is very hard to find phones without a punchhole or notch for the camera.

These are all things people desire, but either not strong enough or not enough people or both.

I like the iPhone mini but not enough to sacrifice the flexibility of Android.

I like displays without cutouts, but not enough to sacrifice the 4 years of updates Samsung offers.

Yeah, sometimes when I'm having a shower a random thought pops up from my childhood.

Brain: Remember that thing you did when you were a kid? You effing idiot.

Me: Thanks, brain. I was a child back then. We've gone over this multiple times. This is not constructive. I've a meeting in 4 hours I need to prepare for and there's nothing in that memory helpful to the current situation.
How do they measure the number of cases that go either way? I assume this excludes settlements? If so it would explain the discrepancy. Arbitration is so much cheaper than going to trial that it would make sense to try a weaker case just based on risk vs reward.

It's a group that took statistics from Wikipedia articles of famous people to then run the headline "rock and rollers twice as likely to divorce." That headline is misleading. They didn't study rock and rollers, they studied celebrities.

This older survey similarly has them playing fast and loose with the statistics to get a flashy headline. In their own data it's clear that online dating has cannibalized dating at bars, and shares a near identical divorce rate - 20% vs 19%. In other words the survey is a nothingburger. All it shows is a shift in dating channels. But that's not the headline they pushed.

If their clickbait strategy isn't clear to you yet, don't take it from me. They claim this is their goal on their own website: "Time and again our research department has injected reality and hard evidence into this debate with eye catching research which the media have broadcast."

Yes. If only people read TFA (which was very thorough) before opining at length:

> These altruistic acts are typically not done consciously, they have simple been formed by natural selection to act in this way. For instance, your neutrophils do not consciously commit suicide, they have just been shaped to do that by evolution. And of course you don't go out thinking "Hm yes I will save you two from drowning because you are each 5/8 related to me." Although maybe one biologist did actually think like this.
I am very politically aligned with the reigning opinions in the sub centered on my hometown/nearest urban centre. Nonetheless I managed to get shadowbanned for reasons that remain unknown to me. Being that that is the only place where local matters get discussed, that was the beginning of the end of my relationship with the site; any place where whoever happened to get there first is able to erase whomever they want with no accountability is a non-starter as a public square of any sort.
I know a reasonable amount of game theory and I think you're looking at the wrong field for insight. The stung animal isn't making a strategic choice to carry pathogens around which might "payback" the some hypothetical bee hive which may or may not sting them. From the bees perspective the choice of strategy is independent of any other actors strategic decisions. Its just a normal optimization problem, not game-theoretic coupled optimization problems.
One major aspect that tends to be underrecommended is using money to save money. Cash buy a car. Prepay your rent for a discount. Buy an annual supply of cleaning products, drygoods...

For businesses, this is well understood. An old school CFO/controller will be all about paying later, collecting earlier, negotiating discounts, consolidating purchasing, etc.

Generally, anything like this will yield a much higher return than any kind of investment.

Tech seems somewhat unique because you can start a new company and within a relatively short period of time (<10 years) you can threaten the eventual existence of Fortune 500 incumbents. The entire venture capital/startup ecosystem exists to identify these upstarts and help them obtain unstoppable momentum as quickly as possible. If the incumbents want to survive, they usually have to pay up, and the longer they wait, the more expensive it will be. This is why Adobe pays $20 billion for Figma. Greed is good, but fear is better - for the startup looking to be acquired. There are a handful of other Figmas out there (and more will be started) and that is part of why tech has so much value.

You submitted two links, both to an industry group headed up by Guus Berkhout:

[quote]

Berkhout founded the Netherlands-based organization Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL).

Mid 2019 plans of CLINTEL and Berkhout were leaked showing that they were organizing a campaign against political commitments to net zero carbon emissions being made into law. The campaign features a number of academics and industry figures with ties to climate change sceptics groups, as well as members from oil and gas companies.

Berkhout claimed the ideal of the organization was to provide an alternative to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

In late September 2019 the group produced an open letter which presented a European Climate Declaration, stating that there was no climate emergency and repeating a number of claims that were inconsistent with the scientific evidence on climate.

A fact check performed by climate scientists for Climate Feedback gave the letter an overall scientific credibility of "very low", and tagged it as "Biased, Cherry-picking, Inaccurate, Misleading".

The analysis also added that, out of the roughly 500 signatories, only 10 self-identified as climate scientists.

The document was later rebranded as the World Climate Declaration.

[/quote]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guus_Berkhout

Climate Science (as laid out by the IPCC) is akin to Foucoult's Pendulum; the earth rotates, and human activity is altering the atmosphere in a measurable manner that traps more heat energy than is normally retained.

You may have a contrarian opinion about measurable facts .. but there are bars and cafes for those.

I think this is the key problem. It seems you assume I have a particular position on climate change, as opposed to my actual intention of making people aware of this declaration. Those are very different positions.

Also, my second submission was a link to a specific page on the site where I copied/pasted the title verbatim, and it was flagged immediately.

This leads me to believe that my post wasn’t flagged because of an inaccurate title, but because someone really didn’t want (and didn’t want others) to see the post.
I lead tech for a 30-person startup doing ~10m/yr revenue. We are about to embark on a rebuild because things are breaking now - and I have been on a charm campaign to build it with HTMX. Development was outsourced before I came and we ended up with SPA and microservices galore. 10 repos, 5 development languages, 4 lambda functions - text-book JS fatigue.

If I make it happen, the rebuild with HTMX should be a lot of fun!!

"The American right's inability"
In Supreme Court terms, 1973 is eons ago - there has been a consistent and very fruitful effort to change its thinking on a range of subjects since then, and as a result, I no longer really understand much of their previous rulings as having much relevance today.

This is already a growing norm among academics. "Renaissance" is often now prefixed by a region and refers to art movements. The time period is more often called "Early Modern." Similarly, "Enlightenment" refers to a specific intellectual movement and not a time period when people are being precise.

In search results, you can at least evaluate how trustful the document is, based on various factors. This resembles how academia has evolved: you can dig into all the references, see the author's publication history and even their reputation. How would you do this with ChatGPT? We can't even verify the sources of its claim and it sometimes even makes up non-existent references in a very confident tone.
You can opt out of a class action that doesn't satisfy you.
This is not the default mode of browsing facilitated by HN, so the system inherently lends itself to killing contrarian perspectives long before there can be any meaningful discussion about them.

To me, there’s nothing more powerful than someone posting a contrarian perspective and there being a highly upvoted, well-reasoned/cited response as to why the contrarian perspective isn’t valid. This I would prefer over having those contrarian perspectives suppressed, and I never get to see or engage with them.
> This is my point: ChatGPT was trained to produce text, not to produce facts.

That's only because it was trained on non-facts also.

But that holds for Google Search just as well ...
Open-source SaaS boilerplate built with Node.js and React
Hi guys, I've open-sourced the SaaS boilerplate I used for my technology startup. Since there are no similar open-source projects, I've spent a lot of time on data modeling and choosing the right libraries to make the app scalable.

I'm sharing the project with you, so you can learn some things from it and hopefully build your SaaS project faster than me.

Here's the GitHub repository: https://github.com/dimimikadze/fest

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
I’ve received a ton of medical advice from people in the field, and it varies - some docs say “do X”, some say “no, do Y”. Probably the only unanimous medical advice I’ve received is this: if you live in a non-rural area you have one or more orthopedists nearby specializing on the hand. Call them for a hand emergency first.

The hand is a complicated appendage. There’s a ton that can go wrong treating it or things that can be missed. Early intervention from a hand surgeon could potentially make a significant difference in long-term outcomes.

Honestly, you might take your X-rays & get a second opinion. Don’t mess around with injuries to your hands, especially if you use them to make your living.
It's interesting that Ruby now pulls Rust as a dependency, since YJIT is written in Rust [https://github.com/ruby/ruby/tree/master/yjit].
> Also, please review the HN guidelines.

Yeah, I know, you downvoted me, I don't mind, enjoy yourself.

But, again, to the point (because you still missing mine): I don't argue libraries shouldn't be subsidized from taxes, I even clearly stated it's the mater of personal opinion (if you read carefully you'd know), I argue that you just cannot mention libraries and the police in one breath like you did, simply because they are not of the same kind - the library (again - kinda tired of repeating myself) CAN be subject of discussion, but police, army, justice system - CANNOT.

My observation is that people's personal views on the matter depend not so much on statistics, but personal experience: how bad was their COVID, whether they had taken the vaccine or not when they fell ill, what kinds of symptoms they developed afterwards, whether they know some people who died from COVID or sudden heart condition some time after COVID or taking the vaccine etc.
The only thing I see is unscientific content that was released by Guus Berkhout. The site was flagged 3 times before so maybe it's even autoflagged because it's been peddling bullshit since 2019 but who knows.

I don’t have a ton of love for Python now that I’ve moved on to static typing but it’s hard for me to see myself choosing Ruby over Python for anything.

Python has gotten significantly faster, has static typing built in with an ecosystem of static typecheckers, and async is an ergonomic first class language feature - sure async can have rough edges but the 99.9% case is dead simple with no surprises.

Obviously packaging for Python is still a pain but I don’t see Ruby being better
There is a massive difference in language stability, compiler stability and ecosystem maturity between Rust and zig. You can use Rust in production for multiple years and many companies do. The same can’t be said about zig.
Never hear people talk about it but Upstream Color by the same director is also excellent. Probably more bio-punk than sci-if though.
I usually tend to get to learn languages based on projects, applying to companies without previous experience on their stack hardly works out, unless coming as reference from someone else.

On which case I expect being offered enough time and training opportunities.

Otherwise the languages I know are more than enough, what you need are soft skills, domain knowledge and architecture design.

Getting yet another way to write the same algorithms is kind of focusing on the tree instead of the forest.
Two biggest quality of life improvements for me would be:

Fixing very slow intellisense in VSCode when large numbers of types are imported. Such as from AWS SDK or CDK.

Show resolved types ie {...A, ...B} vs A & B.. There are hacky workarounds that shouldn't be necessary.

Issues open for years on both.
I had to troubleshoot a microwave link about 15 years ago, where it would just stop passing traffic every so often. There wasn't any monitoring on it but if there had been they'd have spotted that it was running into DFS channel exhaustion. Of course, by the time I'd got to site the fault had cleared itself, but a bit of poking around and sitting on site all day eventually revealed the culprit.

Not a bad day too, nice and sunny, drinking a coffee from the burger van, watching the boats racing up and down the loch (one end of the link was to the "timing tower", a cabin with all the timekeeping equipment at the far end and built a couple of hundred metres off shore), watching the planes stacking at the Lanark holding-point for Glasgow airport, wow look, there's three of them just circling now, isn't that cool? Anyway no signs of bother from the netwo<PLUNK>

Scrolling up the logs, an error message about "cannot allocate DFS channel", and lo and behold all the channels are flagged as "RADAR interference".

I dialled the DFS hold time down to five minutes from an hour, and the problem went away. The spot wasn't usually that busy with planes and they typically weren't stacked for more than about ten minutes ever.
I guess you couldn't call it underrated (93% rotten tomatoes) but Vast of Night was my favorite sci-fi movie I saw this year.
Why would honey bees evolve to leave behind an autonomous pump with their stinger? I don’t think the article suggests that all stings result in suicide, it merely answers the question of why it happens at all, and why it is peculiar to only a select subgroup of species in the entire animal kingdom
I learned this from Alex Hormozi.

I now have a photo of myself made with one of these make-yourself-old online apps. I printed it out and have it on my desk. I glance at it every now and then when I have a hard action to do. How would 55 year old dalys behave in this situation? What kind of person do I want to become in 20 years?
