What Brexit? Nothing changed. In facts things got worse. 15,000 dinghy divers per month. Northern Ireland effectively under EU control, etc, etc, etc. UK is turning into a bananna republic.
It’s kind of funny, the stock market won’t react at all to global warming until the electrical grid of some major city collapses and people start dying of heatstroke. That’s the point where the cost of fossil fuels will suddenly start getting priced in. (Oopsy daisy!). The market is blind to anything happening farther away in time than next quarter’s earnings reports.
Just curious, could you give a concrete example of what waf provides that CMake doesn't?
This has always confused me. I knew FSD wasn't feasible, I knew Tesla was selling a lie. I also knew it was an incredible investment opportunity. I passed on it because I envisioned a bunch of lawsuits destroying the company.

Obviously, I was clearly wrong. While the stock is way down from peak it's clearly been an amazing investment for those that invested early. 2020/1/10 $31.88, 2021/11/30 $381.59 (peak I think) and around 122.81 at close Friday.

Normally, I can look back at an investment in mistake and the issues are obvious in hindsight. With Tesla, I still have no idea why the company still hasn't succumb to lawsuits.
Yep, I work in this area and museums/libraries often believe that they have the right to prevent you from using the creative works whose originals they physically hold. This is usually not the case. And in the vast majority of countries, digitizations of at least 2D works aren't able to be copyrighted.

I think it's highlighting that most people don't give a shit about art. I'm not making a judgement, it's just how it is.

Art (I know this is a massively broad term) I think has suffered from a lot of gate keeping due to having to practice motor movements. But, we can all see. Take the motor stuff out and anyone can become an artist.

Artists do not like this because now they aren't as special. And if you know any artists, you know they love being special.
This reminds me of the trouble they've had upgrading Air Traffic Control systems.

I grew up in Manhattan and rode the subway constantly. I remember sometimes taking the front car, looking out the window and wondering what the odds were of a collision. Then a friend explained how the red light control system made it physically impossible for one train to crash into another.

Ha! Glad I didn't know the truth back then, I might have developed a phobia about using the subway.
If you mean Caesar and Augustus, they are actually the reason we don't have even more badly named months, like Quintilis (July) and Sextilis (August). December was the tenth month simply because each new year started in March. This likely changed long before Caesar was even born. They also, allegedly, had only ten months, but the second king of Rome changed that, but it could also be just a legend.
Sure, if you have patience and energy for those sorts of tug-of-war type conversations.

Meanwhile, with an ICE car, you don't need to worry about having a garage, nevermind a heated one; the right charger, warming a pack, losing fuel overnight, or taking three hours to fully charge. I can pull up to any gas station and fill my tank in 2 minutes. And my gas isn't magically evaporating if it's a little chilly.

The 30 different requirements for EVs to work in cold weather are too complex and prohibitively expensive. That 2035 deadline is never not going to be pushed back unless the EV industry pulls a rabbit out of a hat.
Seemed fairly obvious to me just skimming.

I actually really like the idea. Makefiles always seemed a bit wrong to use for utility scripts, and a folder of sh files also seemed a bit excessive to me.

The makefile sections + argument injection is very clever. I hate looking up how to parse argv in different languages all the time for simple tasks.

I have just a few nit-picks that would stop me from picking it over a directory of scripts, however.

1. It would be yet another dependency to worry about. Maybe instead of it's own executable, it could be a script you add to your repo like how java's gradle works (maybe just an executable sh file called "shmux"?)

2. I'm not a fan of relying on environment variables for it to work. It's just clunky and I know I'd have to look up what to put in if I switch between projects a lot. Perhaps consider letting this "shmux" executable look for a "shmux.*" glob, then run the first one it finds. Then let a #! define what language to use.

Just speaking to my own workflows and tooling expectations, you're definitely getting there for something I would personally use on my hobby projects.

Why introduce "hate other people" into the discussion? Would you maybe allow that what some people actually "hate," are jammed highways and thoroughfares, not enough parking, and everything crowded? To the extent that people have a say (a vote) in zoning regulations, people are entitled to voice their opinion about the population density of the area where they live.

Saw him at V Fest circa early 2000’s. Just amazing. Sad news.
OP should have gone by percentage of battery left, and just left the car plugged in.

Not plugging in when arriving and letting the battery freeze (cold soak) overnight, unplugging after 30 minutes of 1.5kW level 1 charging and basing his entire decisions on what the car's guess-o-meter says for remaining milage is pretty crazy IMO.

Seems like OP chose to do the worst thing possible at each juncture to ensure a bad charging experience.

It is normal for cars to use 2 or 3 kilowatts (an hour or two of charging) heating the battery up to temperature in freezing conditions, but once the pack is up to temperature it charges close to normal speed.
Oh drat, thanks for pointing that out.
GM (Chevy) actually excellently engineered packs for cold weather. But what you might be seeing here is in fact the result of their attention to battery longevity. The packs in the Volt & Bolt have a lot of systems set up to maintain temperatures optimal for battery lifespan (in both cold and hot weather); one of the things that distinguishes them from the lackadaisical engineering in e.g. a Nissan Leaf.

Lessened range may have more to do with the system spending energy to keep the battery at optimal temperature.

Contrary to what others are saying here, Tesla had no "head start" or lead. The Volt came out the same year as the Model S (2011/2012) and the battery pack in there (LGChem + GM) is extremely well engineered.

(In general GM is far more cautious about many aspects of battery life than others. One of the reasons the Bolt has weaker/slower fast charging. They also have tended to focus on a lower segment of the market than others, too. Comparing a luxury vehicle Tesla against a Chevy Bolt is not exactly apples to apples)

Say what you feel, be genuine. Be curious about them - including, read the situation. If they are anxiously texting, or looking otherwise like they wouldn't want to be disturbed, don't. And don't force it - there's not always something to say. It's not hard, there's no secret code; it's very basic.

Most of the problem is anxiety. As with anything new, you'll get over it as it becomes familiar. Be patient with yourself.

This is a very large comment, filled with legitimate observations about how Rust (and most other programming language communities) choose to defend their name, logo, etc.

It has absolutely nothing to do with how "proprietary" is used in the open source community. To make it as simple as possible: if your use of the word "proprietary" includes Python and Rust but excludes Borland C, you've failed to use to word in a way that is substantive and useful to everyone else in this community.

The implied risk of Rust's trademark terms is entirely ahistorical: C did not win as a systems programming language because it satisfied FRAND or any other standard for openness. It won because Worse Is Better, in spite of onerous licensing restrictions by companies with extremely expensive and proprietary C compilers.
> a Tesla autopilot can track the rotation of each wheel independently

But most humans can in most cases feel when there is a loss of traction on the road. Although agreed it comes nothing close to what the car knows.

That said I am not sure that this is a core feature needed to make FSD work.
What a windfall for Tesla! They get to walk back their absurd claims while pinning the blame on someone else. They're still probably going to face massive lawsuits when they fail to ever deliver full self driving, but this might at least limit the size of the class.
Part of the problem is that for most people the subject of legalizing cannabis is considered only in the context of "more people are going to use drugs". It needs to be framed in how much it costs society to enforce those laws (both in money and freedom).

Someone being good at async runtimes does not mean they are versed in security. Also you have no easy proof the code that the Tokio team wrote is what actually made it into the binaries hosted by the Nix project. That is the nature of increasingly common supply chain attacks. The Nix tooling and package definitions themselves have very minimal supply chain integrity evidence. No author or reviewer signing, etc.

As for my peers, I work with some of the best security researchers in the world, and I myself have found and filed critical CVEs in widely depended on and trusted software like gnupg and terraform. I am not an expert by any means, but just a technical person willing to actually read some of the code we all rely on.

No one bothered to carefully review openssl before heartbleed.

Everyone assumes someone else is reviewing critical code with a security lens. It is always a bad assumption and it gives dangerous people that actually -do- review code a massive advantage.

If you ship you copied off the internet for a critical use case without ensuring it receives qualified review, then you are as responsible for any bad outcomes as a chef who failed to identify toxic ingredients.

The current industry standard on software supply chain integrity is about as negligent as the medical industry before the normalization of basic sanitation practices. Yeah, it takes a lot of extra work, but that is the job.
Former commissioner and champion of the Stanford IM Beirut (that's beer pong for the uneducated) here. The university repeatedly threatened to shut us down, but since we weren't an official group that was tough. They did ban drinking games in dorm rooms, which thankfully wasn't enforceable, but things were headed in this direction back in the late aughts.

Back then, this stuff was theoretically in the name of safety, though that was totally misguided. When I got to my freshman dorm, the RAs told us to leave the door open if we were drinking, so they'd know if anything was wrong. In return, there would be no trouble. They held up their end of the bargain, and everyone was drunk but safe and free of administrative trouble. Even the Stanford sheriffs were well known for not giving you trouble unless you were flagrantly drinking in public or causing a real problem. Forcing people to hide their drinking didn't make anybody safer.

It's really a shame that the administration has chosen this direction. I genuinely don't know what the point is.

The idea of describing an opposing view as derangement is disingenuous because it implies you know the mental state of the person, and it also completely avoids having to discuss the merit of the argument by derailing it. It is also questionable because your post history is full of dozens of pro-Tesla/Elon posts which are mostly trolls or memes. That makes me wonder what you mean by "derangement" because I consider doing that on a discussion forum that seeks knowledge as antithetical to its existence. But since people aware of news coverage for the past decade, this is a term that was popularized in the US during the 2016 election cycle, it has been used to shut down any rational debate. It is effectively name calling. Which is the opposite of the purpose of HN and makes me wonder why you are even here. To troll or to learn or to help people learn. Again from your history, it seems to be the first option.

Whether or not someone took donations from an opposing industry, and using that to dismiss their argument is one of the classic fallacies of reasoning.

To me, naming a deadly product something it is not seems worthy of regulation, because it is lying. If you prima facie consider me deranged because of that, I do not understand your world view and would like to understand it better.

Also, I'm not a he.
As a Veblen good, why do you think being unable to buy one is going to hurt sales? That's just going to make it even more exclusive to own one. A $20 Casio watch is going to keep time just fine, you don't buy a Rolex costing thousands or tens of thousands because you need a watch to keep time. You buy one as a status symbol (which is up to you, it's your money after all), and sorry to say, but a Zenith or Omega watch just doesn't have the same cachet.

You get good at this from a long life of curiosity in the subject. Basically, if you spent your life testing many different ways to do things, think thousands of different ways to compute or parse or view data etc, then you have that huge knowledge bank to aid you when you see a new problem, so you compose a few of those things to solve it.

It is the same process as learning the elementary algebra in math. You learn a few basic techniques, like moving numbers and variables from one side to the other, and then you compose those to solve expressions you haven't seen before. The only difference is that algorithms is a much larger space, there are way more techniques and problems there so it takes longer to get to a point where it is useful to you.

>If so then you can work out the cost of Brexit by subtracting that figure.

If only it was just easy, and outcomes from multiple factors could just be isolated and "substracted from the figure". Even the sole "cost of covid" alone, with just the regular uncertainty of measurement would be disputable (whatever it was) - doubly so when it coincides with two huge other affecting factors...

Heck, even good old GDP measurements border on charlatanism - and that's under fair weather..
It's hardly crazy to expect that the car should display an accurate range estimate based on the current temperature.
With the amount of theorising and handwringing people do wrt Elon’s motives or reasons for having this view of FSD, there seems to be a lot of people that don’t want to acknowledge him for the boring stereotype that he is: a manager / salesperson completely out of his depth making wild unsubstantiated claims. It’s just that the autocratic role he demands within organisations, and his relatively newfound publicity fuelled by his legion of fetishists, means that we all hear about it.

I only vaguely (for a developer) know about AI / computer vision, yet I’m still made deeply anxious by the implication that we will somehow in the foreseeable future be able to pull this off at ALL, let alone with 1.5 hands tied behind our backs as Tesla insists.
My take, as a developer and a manager: everyone sniffs this out. It's a well known marginal dev archetype. For now, this behavior can be compatible with stable employment, but the tension around accountability sets a ceiling in career advancement.

If we experience a white collar recession, the toxic players will have to reevaluate their behavior.

IIRC in real-world testing on actual consumer hardware in the field (sample size in the hundreds of thousands), we found fbdev was better supported than vesa (with more restrictions, of course).

Inability to change EFI resolution is OK except with high-res (4k) discrete GPUs running without scaling. But that’s ok because you can do fake DPI scaling in software - the actual tissue is performance at 4k sucks if not hardware accelerated.

Bigger problem today is that EFI fb support is still in its nascence both manufacturer- and software-side. Manufacturers ship crap that’s not up to spec while some EFI FB handlers are too strict in what they expect or haven’t added quirks for some of the very common hardware you might run across.
