That’s a strong argument against SUVs, a type of vehicle that is notoriously dangerous because drivers can’t see children in front of their hood. It also flips over and kills people inside at minor incidents.

Cargo bikes don’t have those issues.
Sure, but the wear-and-tear on your brain from an office job will always be significantly lower (and thus remain a viable job for much longer) than a job in the figurative or literal trenches.
Back when it made my life better instead of worse.
The actual application appears to be tracking paragliders. Helium just provides the internet hotspot:

> Over the course of a week, supported by Tommy and Ryan at Lonestar Tracking, Matthew at Digital Matter, Travis at Helium, and Jeremy C (@jerm on Discord), I deployed 2 off-grid Helium Hotspots high in the mountains of Utah (one at over 8,000′ and one above 11,000′) to track 30+ paragliders as they flew during the annual Red Rocks Fly In as well as raced during the inaugural X Red Rocks Hike & Fly race.

This explains why somebody would want a hotspot in such a remote, high location.

The race itself is kind of wild:

https://xredrocks.com/

From the Rules page:

> The task is to reach the control and turn-points defined by the Race Committee every day for three days as quickly as possible traveling only by paraglider or on foot.

I imagine you'd want good tracking data to get an idea of where you're going.
.. from a fellow DarkNetizen: ".. we all concur it's either one of the 2 major w coast drug cartels since SLC is smack in the middle of a 'major flight trade route' tho SLC is not a major market in and of itself. A crypto repeater network makes sense, but why SLC? The other assertion is a DOD project since BLM and other vast expanses of open lands are popular test grounds for new comm tech. I believe it's the latter."
This is interesting. They look like roller skates/blades, but if there's really that much tech, they might be easier to use. It's too costly for most, but if they catch on the price could come down.

Bike have advantages, but take up a lot of space at their destination.

Their closest competitor (beyond walking/running) appears to be foldable electric scooters. They take less space than a foldable scooter, but I'm not sure they take up that much less space, and I expect scooters to be able to go further on a charge. It does look like the moonwalkers are much easier to use when switching to/from stairs. Whether or not that matters depends on how often you encounter stairs.
Yep. Got multiple eyerolls when I was checking in to a testing center for a certification when I actually stopped to read the full page of rules presented to me before I signed it.

Funny enough, they didn't even follow the rules themselves. The "end test" protocol was to raise your hand in the testing room and be escorted out, I sat there for a few minutes then just walked out myself and apparently that's what I was supposed to do.
This was considered in the paper: "Some point to a dearth of ‘low-hanging fruit’ as the readily available productivity-enhancing innovations have already been made19,27. Others emphasize the increasing burden of knowledge; scientists and inventors require ever more training to reach the frontiers of their fields, leaving less time to push those frontiers forward18,28. "
I know nothing about the industry, but out of curiosity... what are considered the more interesting jobs?
Ruby on Rails is dead, long live Ruby on Rails
This spontaneous headline makes me think that Rails did die one dead at the beginning of last year with Rails 6 webpack cruelty and resurrected with a whole new framework around handling JS (Hotwire/import-maps) as the default in Rails 7.
Wanna split it? I'll take the left shoe, you take the right?
It is if the perpetrator can "circumvent" the consequences.
Hey, that's a possibility. I am dead sure that lots of folks are figuring out how to leverage ChatGPT to do their work for them.
> any publicly funded hospital in the US must take patients by law, they can not turn away patients except under very specific circumstances

Not all nurses are employed at hospitals. I said paying patient, but I should have said deniable. Someone seeking out the sorts of care hospitals start denying when they face an actual emergency.

> everyone disagrees with you

Oh, I've seen the meme. I'm just casting it a bit more cynically. Nobody wants to pay nurses more. So we need more nurses, whether out of nursing school or through immigration.

> if they're short, why aren't they able to pay traveling nurse rates

They did [1]! When they needed them. Because there was demand for them. When there wasn't, they didn't.

> no reason a hospital couldn't pay higher nursing rates, they just choose not to, because again, that figure is not determined by supply or demand

This is how supply and demand work. They're not paying more because they don't have to.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd be a plumber.

You're not stationary, you're on the move and your day has variety. You spend a lot of time in the physical world and meet lots of people. Your work might at times be smelly but is rewarding in a very direct way. You helped solve a tangible problem and your customers are grateful for it. The range of problems to solve is large, and if you widen your skills, you can grow into a generic handyman that can fix almost anything. Pay should be decent enough and by mid career you might even take a plunge at freelancing.

Where I live, the expensive cars are driven by the skilled trades, not by office clerks. But money isn't my main point, it's physical and mental health, clear purpose, impactful and rewarding work.

Bonus: AI isn't coming for you anytime soon.

Extra bonus: no office politics.

Frankly, it's exactly what Gen Z needs. They're all so cynical and divorced from the physical world and real people. Should they go into an office job, nearly 100% of their life would be digital, perpetuating and accelerating their issues.

Digital sucks. It has no soul. Chose wisely.
This is a very cool thing that I would genuinely want to try, marketed about as far away from me as possible.

Why do they spend so much of their first-impression marketing copy repeating how they aren't skates no less than five times on the homepage? Because people fall over when they wear skates? Because my first thought was, "Finally, heelies but for adults! And also for any shoe, and also motorized!"

Why is going off-road with them an option, much less a desirable feature?

Why does this need "AI machine learning algorithms" to implement a PID controller?

Why are they $1,400(?!?) but only come in one size and ship only to the US?
I think this is where NFT could actually be useful. Buy a video, and you have a license for it. The money goes to the people who made it. Maybe you resell that license sometime, whatever.

The point is that you can get the actual video file from ~wherever~ and you're legally fine because you own the license.

Now the streaming platforms compete for being the best video delivery service for the array of things you own a license for.

Movies Anywhere is the closest thing to this I have seen. It only works for movies though, and it's a centralized service.
Your son might really enjoy programming language theory and construction. There's a lot of active research into programming languages, and even full-time jobs creating new programming languages!

One of my first jobs out-of-college involved making a small language for loan origination. And a few years ago, I got an offer to design a language for a quantum computing company!

Even if your son doesn't get a job designing languages, programming really scratches the reading/writing/lexical itch. I suspect that he would be a very happy developer :)

Trades are brutal on the body and don't pay very well. Few people with viable alternatives would choose such work.
A high school friend became a plumber for the City of New York. Retired at 45 with 1-1/2x pension. I believe it’s about $150k a year.
You are only considering decent sized web development in your considerations. There are many more JS users out there. People doing shell scripting (the ZX folks dor example), people doing some data science, or who have a js engine embedded in their other project for scripting. Or hobbyists or small site operators. Or library authors! None of these people have the same complex pipeline you are assuming. They might never have to transpile at all, with these changes, might not need any build tools. The simple cases get orders of magnitudes simpler, and that counts for a lot.

Making it so that the js runtime can handle modern code as it is authored- versus having to preprocess- would be a great relief to many.

It would also help library authors, who are today tasked with authoring code in one style, and writing tools & config to allow type-users or regular users. The regular users, and often accidentaly typescript users, get code which has lots of additional processing they may or may not want, depending on what module outputs & setup the library author picked when they ran typescript. Ideally most of these decisions should be deferred as much as possible to the end, to the consumer, and with this proposal that becomes possible. Library authors could just release tbeir code as is, unmolested. That sounds like such a huge breath of fresh air, that allows just in time decision making at the end, versus forcing projects individually to tackle these questions & somehow work cohesively.

Generally yeah, web projects will still want some processing, probably. There's probably a couple KB of code we could shave off, post-compression, and we (very arguably) should. But the overall toolchain complexity experienced by so so so many users, by library authors, by newcomers... it could be greatly greatly simplified, by not needing each library, each link in the chain, to have to face transpilation challenges. This vastly improves & simplifies the js universe.

Software developmemt is bigger than industrial scale web development. This greatly eases the burden in many many many areas of JS dev.
If this is true and if framework would and if it would run Linux well, I would move. Until then I am a happy m1 user.

>where to learn

chatGPT. In my case, "I have experience with Unity game engine and C#. I want to host a web forum. Can you please assist?"
I started with an ASP.NET server at chatGPT's recommendation (which would have allowed my C# to translate) but soon found that only Linux servers allow SSH, which seems very very important.

So I asked some more, and wound up with a Linux provider, using nginx to host.
chatGPT was pretty helpful with Linux permissions, owners, fixing 404/301/403 etc

Be wary of talking in circles about something chatGPT is unable or unwilling to tell you - Google and Stack Overflow are still here as backups when the chatbot doesn't "get" you.
Plus, Google forces you to dumb down your questions, since chatGPT is perfectly happy answering to essays and short stories.
I was more hoping for the arcology building from SimCity, not the space solar plant, but pretty cool.
Sounds like more reason the call by many here to stop complaining and pay more seems spot on.
I’d be more interested in a managed SQLite database accessible through the web. Basically Hasura but for SQLite.
D is realistically somewhere in a middle ground between C and Rust for kernel work. It leans more toward familiarity for C programmers with some added safety checks (indeed, you do lose something by not using a garbage collector, but you can still go a pretty long way without it thanks to auto bounds checks and such) but does not enable as much static checking - nor require as much new learning - as Rust.
They can in the current state of the Wild West that is the WWW, and also in the payment processing networks, and it's wrong.
I’m in two minds

I got so frustrated with a cross platform technology i just wrote a native app to get away from it which the company later adopted. It implemented all latest native features, was tiny in size, and code base was easy to understand.

As it grows and our teams grow it does get harder, but also, if you’re using bleeding edge features, cross platform solutions can only cater to the lowest common denominator
The same thing happens with displays. Designers and devs are using things like high-end Dell Ultrasharps, LG UltraFines, the integrated screens in MacBook Pros, iMac 27" displays/Studio Displays, Pro Display XDRs, etc but in reality a huge number of the screens in use are things like those terrible 1366x766 TN panels that dominated budget 10"-17" laptops for over a decade. I'm fairly confident the low-contrast flat design trend that's been going for a while now wouldn't have been a thing if it were a requirement for UIs to be usable and reasonably good looking on a crappy $250 Walmart special Dell Inspiron from 2012.

> Try using it for a week, and count for me how many times it segfaults on your face. (That is not to diminish Grigory's work, which I have nothing against.)

Hi, Newsraft developer here. Not that I was offended, but I just wanted to let you know that I use it daily and don't encounter segfaults with builds from release tarballs like at all. I'm trying to leave tag commits as clean as possible, but I admit that logical bugs can slip through :)
You can use C++/C to do this but depending on what you're doing it probably won't save you much time. You could also use JS to share code since both platforms have JS interpreters you can run arbitrary code in - but the ergonomics of this would likely be sup-optimal. For most apps, the vast majority of the work in mobile is the front-end - so sharing code this way would just end up being a headache.
Wow, whether or not this is helium... I just learned about this thing and I'm like "okay, so you have LoRaWAN and blockchains and yes I can see how you could combine these together but what's the effin point?

<< "It's a more expensive version of Transferwise that's only useful for criminals, but isn't useful for them because their transaction history is public and forever"

That is is testable. I used it and whether it is more expensive appears to depend a lot how/when/what you use to facilitate it.. not completely unlike Transferwise, which is basically a broker of such services, which is how they can offer them at a relative low cost.

If I used it and found it useful, does that make me a criminal?

<< only useful for criminals, but isn't useful for them because their transaction history is public and forever" should be good enough.

What you seem to be saying is that crypto has properties that are useful and properties that are not useful. In a practical sense, that means it is just like any other payment type ( fedwire has speed over ACH in US; Zelle has convenience over SWIFT in US ). All of these leave some of sort of trace. Crypto's differentiating factor is that the ledger is public. It is both good and bad depending on what you want to achieve.

So, allow me to reframe the question, if only criminals use it, why do they do it if it is not useful to them. Your argument is a little flimsy.

<< That and "it doesn't get any more useful as you add nodes, but you still have to add them or people can hack it".

I agree in principle, but between all the hacks we have seen from all the other non-crypto companies over the past few years, I am not willing to hold crypto to a higher standard.
"White people are all wrong, so lets just do the opposite" is far from perfect as well. And I can't think of any culture in the world which is free from all kinds of internal oppressions, white people don't have a monopoly. Corruption and oppression pretty universally descends from greed, wealth and power. The particular people who have the wealth and power and the ones that seem shittiest at the time though. And that begs the question of if democracy would work a lot better without all those forces. Policies that the powerful don't like are often very popular, but are undermined by (typically) racist us vs. them sentiment--and is claiming that this is a "white (etc)" problem just playing into their hands...
> You get overtime.

I think this comment represents a fundamental disconnect in cultures. The days of people "wanting" overtime are kind of gone. If I saw "overtime pay" on a job description all I am seeing is "work long hours, never see your kids, no time for hobbies, etc".

Maybe that translates to me "not wanting to work", but that's the situation.
Audiobook narrators generally find that it's better not to use very different voices, just variants of their own. You can use different speakers to voice different characters in the book, but it's usually distracting and jarring rather than immersive.

Perhaps AI voices (and their directors) will find a new approach and create a whole new kind of narration. Perhaps it would be possible to merge a wider diversity of voices if they're all controlled by a single narrative "thought". That would be nifty.
They will shut you down at any time, for any reason, with no recourse.

I think you can also do the second in Go with named returns, e.g.

No clue if it's an idiomatic usage, and named returns always felt a little too magic for me.

I will agree with your last point. If I had bought this machine for doing seriously development I would've gone for 16gb. Saying that, I've been pleasantly surprised with its power. I've been playing with Metal, throwing together a native version ShaderToy, and it hasn't felt unpowered once. Even when running the iPad emulator.

I did feel a little duped when I learned that some M1/M2 machines can only support one external monitor. Now I have to replace my two monitors with a widescreen.
Ask HN: Thoughts on ARM vs. Qualcomm
January 13th will mark the start of the discovery phase of the trial. I am curious what your thoughts are on this particular case as it could have rather serious and broad effects on the industry.

For those not presently in the loop, I will summarize.

Qualcomm purchased CPU maker Nuvia and in the process gained access to IP developed under a license for ARM. As Qualcomm already possessed a cheaper license for custom ARM designs, they felt that they had a legal right to continue developing Nuvia IP, and to sell hardware resulting from it. ARM says that this is not the case, and wanted Qualcomm to pay higher royalties for Nuvia derived designs. The two could not agree and the two are going to a jury trial.
