I find it a lot easier to reason about logical chunks of code that are clearly divided. I rarely want to see just a specific function, but a cohesive unit that can be read in sequence and make sense. You can do that in a single file too, but in my experience, large files tends to lead to code being spread out without a narrative determining order because people (myself included) are rarely disciplined enough. Files act as a convenient clear grouping to me. On the other extreme, when people insist on splitting everything up into the smallest little unit, it drives me entirely nuts for the same reason. I want to be able to read through the code without jumping back and forth all the time.

But when it's just you it's all down to preference, so do what works for you.
He might have separated his personal views from his professional views. He probably did, actually. But I don't think it matters.

Is it just that we haven't seen her posting on social media, or is she officially missing?
Absolutely...I grew up in a rural place and got a driver’s license at 16, but have lived in NYC for over a decade and have thought about this often.

Teenagers here have no need to have a license or a ride from a parent to meet up with their friends. The level of independence is totally different, starts earlier, and is way safer.
> concentration of carbon dioxide in seawater is more than 100 times greater than it is in air

This is straight up wrong. Unless they mean alkalinity, which is carbonate, but not dissolved CO2.

I keep both reef and freshwater aquariums. I have to inject CO2 into my freshwater aquariums to keep the plants happy, and the maximum I can go without killing off the fish is ~30ppm. Given that the PPM of CO2 in air is 4, are they trying to say saltwater has 400PPM of CO2? That would mean ocean water is 0.04% CO2. A wave would have so much foam because of how much carbonation that'd be in the water.

They're doing some funny math.
Just let Japan build US rail, and copy paste Dutch city planning, guarantee it’ll be much better and cheaper than anything anyone in US government would come up with and requires 0 brain power.
I really can't figure out if this is serious or not.
That's really the key point and where a lot of the disconnect comes from.

If I lived in Boston/Cambridge, say, and rarely needed/wanted to leave the city I'd probably be fine with not owning a car. But just 5 minutes ago, I was emailing with some friends about getting together on the weekend somewhere out in the country. Yes, I could rent a Zipcar or a conventional rental but that gets old for doing things out of the city on a regular basis--especially spontaneously.

But there are comments on this thread to the effect of "But I don't really need to go anywhere. I have the Internet." And that's a fundamentally different perspective and set of priorities.

Super cool concept - as someone who is just learning Python I've found Jupyter to be a great way to code and debug live. But yea it's hard for me to share that with someone as a beginner coder - are you planning on having this be a paid feature?
I sold my car when I moved to LA because traffic was so horrible. I intentionally moved into an apartment close to a metro line, which I took into work. For groceries, I rode my bike into the neighborhood city center (which many LA neighborhoods have).

I loved playing Game Boy or reading a book on my way to and from work. Getting around the neighborhood by bike was wonderful with the LA weather. Occasionally I would go somewhere that needed a car such as off to the mountains to ski, so I would ride with my friends who were joining. If no one owned a car, I’m sure we could have rented. I also once got staffed down in OC for work, so I talked with someone on my team and coordinated carpooling with them, which allowed us to use the HOV lane and improve the horrid traffic situation. My coworker was happy to go out of their way to pick me up in exchange for HOV access.

I’ve since lived in big Texas cities and have been able to also live without a car, but I find it much more difficult because there are zero viable public transit options. LA’s public transit is nothing to write home about, but it is usable. You just need to have a good attitude and plan your life ahead of time. Ride sharing and rentals can fill in the rest.

To your point, LA became much more affordable when I got rid of my car. My situation was not perfectly replicable by all, but I do think the issue of car ownership and getting around without one isn’t an all or nothing affair for every citizen. In my situation it worked. For others, it would not. It would be great if more cities simply allowed for the option of getting around without a car and invested in alternative modes of transit. Ideally for me, I’d have a car that I would use for some errands and take public transit for others.
Ask HN: How does copy/paste work on Windows?
Can I somehow see the exact content of clipboard in Windows? What puzzles me if I copy code from VSC or text from Word if I paste it into notepad I get text only.

But if I paste it to some HTML editor/component/blog I get the formatting.

How is this formatting stored in clipboard?
Not just that, cars are boring now .
What changes are the ones that bother you? As someone whose played with neither (though I have played with NetHack's source code) I'm curious.
Who cares?!

You are only correct in a SOCIALIST world where ONE market supplies everything.

Your nefarious visions ARE WRONG in a CAPITALST MARKET where the grocery store must COMPETE with another store down the street and the CONSUMER IS FREE TO CHOOSE where they purchase their goods.

All the regulatory barriers preventing new grocery stores from entering the marketplace reduce consumer's choices and drive the consolidation we see where Kroger buys up regional chains. These activities weaken labor negotiation power and consumer choice but somehow people call out for more intervention.

Increasing competition always and everywhere lowers prices and increases choice leading to higher living standards for consumers
Depending on your company, you might be able to start a project within the company that is either open source, or will be open sourced and work on that during slow times.

It can be tricky to find meaningful jobs but with open source it flips the other way around and it's actually hard to ship open source at scale without people using it to help others (though seldom the only use).

Bonus points if you spend time thinking about what would be the most helpful as well as what would be the most interesting to work on (to keep your interest through the boring days).

FBI Hit with Some Sort of Hack Attempt, Says Incident Is 'Contained'
You'd be surprised if you lived in Copenhagen for a while. About 2/3 of the population commutes either on foot or through public transit.

Personally, I am walking 40 minutes each way to go to work, or uber in the morning and walking in the afternoon. It's not that I can't afford a car. I am just not interested in owning one.
This is it right here. Works fantastic and its just a pipe of 2 commands.
I've been using Kiwi browser on Android for years. It supports like 80% of chrome extensions, never breaks on updates. The only major issue is that extension settings pages are rarely optimized for mobile.

So I think this excuse is BS to be honest.
If you peek at that third party OAuth library, you will discover… it's complex. This is what I mean about pushing the complexity around on your plate. You can make it someone else's problem (and become dependent on them), but the complexity is still there. There is a minimum level of complexity that any OAuth system needs to have in order to function. QED

Wages have gone up with inflation where you live?
I think this is correct. So a DS does a bunch of stuff.

- Some of the stuff becomes diffused and common. Anyone can do it.

- Some of the stuff becomes data engineering.

- Some of the stuff becomes fitting a model -- anyone can do it.

- Some of the stuff ends up subsumed in a cloud providers offering and mostly automated.

- Some of the stuff becomes a SaaS (e.g. A/B testing).

Death by factorisation.

Specialisation is another sort of death, where X doesn't need a "Data scientist" any more, they need a "X data scientist". A bit like how "scientific computing" is just programming, except you wouldn't hire "just" programmers to do it -- you hire programmers who specialise in scientific computing.
> Putting an unpredictable chatbot in a safety-critical loop is simply deranged in a very strict sense of the term.

How is this different to self-driving cars. They already killed people, like when uber self driving car killed a pedestrian

Whwther the driver should have reacted is not relevant - you put AI in anything safety critical, they will kill people
Generalising from the centre of a city to the whole country is a distortion. Last time i was in the Netherlands, i arrived in Amsterdam, then went out to the countryside, somewhere near Dedemsvaart. I looked at doing the trip by public transport, but it would have taken forever. Instead, we rented a car and drove there, along wide, fast, busy roads. The Netherlands is indeed a heavily motorised country.

Yeah. Owning and driving a car is becoming really expensive. It's understandable that people will avoid it if they are able to.

Also, I'm pretty sure that many "anti car" teens still know someone, like their parents or a friend, that owns a car and can help them out occasionally.
This is a super important point. I'm a super analytical person and have spreadsheets for most important things in my life. So a real outlier in terms of recording data. And STILL i find it hard to keep up with my manual budgeting app that I have.

Integration is super important and imo, the real opportunity is improving the auto-tagging and sorting functionality. Mint for example is pretty terrible at handling things like venmo or one-off transactions
Yes but they use the Bing API. If their costs per search exceed their revenues per search new users won’t help them
Sure, but it’s wildly counterproductive. The result is free-floating negativity about all the possible solutions. Until we’re meeting the scale of the problem, we should all be focusing on “yes, and”
Maybe I'm the exception but I had a driver's licence about that time and I didn't own a car because as a teenager neither I nor my parents could afford one. Even now I've never actually bought a car myself - my wife bought one early in our relationship and we've yet to buy another and I'm now pushing 40.

> However I also think Science does need oversight and agreement from society on what is acceptable or not, as history has often shown left uncontrolled bad things can happen.

I'm curious as to what you mean by this. Are you talking about avoiding doing or publishing research that could have undesirable social effects? E.g. in the hypothetical world where it had been discovered in 1980 that there was a gene that made African Americans less bright than white ones this research should not be published?

Or is it that you are worried about biased scientists faking results to harm disadvantaged minorities?
Thanks for sharing. I've posted bench_sort results in another thread.
vqsort is about 1.8 times as fast for uniform random, a bit more of an advantage than your results here.

Note that there appears to be some bug because our benchmark's verification fails.
germany is also weird in this regard, but I believe as of recently most of the current german Maestro cards are actually on the Mastercard network.
> It really feels as if "Never outgrew junior high school" was an unwritten requirement to be a municipal official in the U.S.

That’s because the people doing their job properly don’t get noticed, except maybe by the people directly served (and most of them just take it for granted) while the ones like those under discussiom get covered in national news and discussion sites with a global audience.
It's a risk that is so low that if I were to invest time in reducing the top risks in my life, it'd be far outside the top 10. Put another way: The odds of me finding myself somewhere where I can't easily find someone to drive me somewhere is near zero.

Note that this is how I evaluate my risk. I absolutely accept this will be an issue for people who live in places where getting transport might be a problem. If that's a problem here, civilisation has ended.

This is really great news for the Lightning network, if that is your thing. There is a Lightning wallet, called Mutiny Wallet (https://mutinywallet.com) which is an entirely web-based Lightning wallet/node (using WebAssembly, etc) under development. A Lightning wallet PWA is a great boost to censorship resistance because no one can be cut off from their money because of oppressive government or App Store policy.

One of the challenges of Lightning usability on mobile wallets is sending payments when there is no guarantee that the user's mobile wallet is getting the CPU time necessary to receive the payment without having the app directly open. Allowing push notification for PWA is a potential way to make sure that a user's wallet gets some CPU time for incoming payments!
But it won't be $30M for long. It's be $20M, then $10M, then $5M including your house.

And wealth taxes have failed miserably everywhere they've been tried. France instituted one a few years back and it failed to capture even a small percentage of expected revenue - people just do whatever they can to avoid it, including leaving the country.
It doesn't refute it because I think it's a mischaracterization of what "anti-car" or bike/transit/pedestrians advocates are typically asking for

What I and many other advocates in the US want is for anything besides cars to be even considered in public infrastructure and urban design. Living without access to a car is near impossible in lots of US cities.

The default is to design around the car, if bikes or pedestrians are mentioned it's tacked on as an afterthought.

An example I had just last night was my US city presented their first phase of the "bike master plan". Essentially the engineers told us they didn't want to maintain protected bike infrastructure or interfere with traffic. About half of the "improvements" they listed out were "sharrows", bike symbols painted in the travel lane. The other half were striped bike lanes with no protection from vehicles.

And this is in a city that's inherited some bike/ped/transit friendliness by the nature of it being built pre-war.

Good luck in the exurban sprawl, South and Sunbelt - you'll be lucky to even have a sidewalk, nevermind a bike lane on the 8 lane road. The car is default in the US.

Car-owners can still come there, just not in their car.

Amsterdam has slowly tried to move cars out of the city center over the past couple decades. Residents can still get a parking permit, but parking space has been reduced to make more space for people, and visitors had better park their car at the edge of the city and take public transport into the city center. Or just come by train.

Autism as a general topic should not be called a disease. As said so well in this article: https://novaramedia.com/2021/11/25/autism-is-not-a-disease/

"Treating autism as a ‘disease’, rather than a neurotype that exists as a result of natural biological variation, paves the way for a level of discrimination and stigmatisation that would not be acceptable if it were applied to other minority groups. At worst, it raises serious fears of eugenics. But the traditional understanding of autism as a deficit also plays a huge role in day-to-day discrimination against autistic people..."

> - serves to potentially split NATO members (Hersh's story is obviously part of that)

this is the big one. I can't see a reason why the US even the UK would blow the pipelines, esp. when they already have a very strong NATO rallying cry, and Putin turning off the gas already means N. American Oil & Gas will be making big money.

Like, you're already winning, why risk a disaster and blowback? Meanwhile Putin has shown, consistently, that he's capable and willing to play dirty like that, and can actively spite the Baltics and Scandinavia.
> I don't really grasp why understanding people is any different from analyzing any other kind of system.

It's not, but people tend to be able to spot the difference between studied and natural behaviour if you know them long enough. Studied behaviour is called 'masking' and has a tremendous mental toll. Over time, someone will eventually see you tired, and therefore unmasked.

As a seven year old I studied Peter Curry (the most popular boy in school) and Michaelangelo (the most well liked ninja turtle) because it seemed everyone else had been given a set of social instructions and I had not, and that by adopting their behaviour I would be less isolated.

It was still a nine year wait until I had a friend.

It's meaningless to talk about prices over time without normalising them to something like income of the group over that same time or at least inflation. E.g. if you look at the price of gas that way it really hasn't changed much in the last 50 years but mpg has gotten a lot better. I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar "not really that different" story for new cars.

Used car prices have really went nuts since mid 2020 though, well beyond what can be normalised out. I'm not sure that's long enough to explain the phenomena on it's own, it certainly started before young people wanted to buy cars in 2021, but if you're looking for where it got more expensive for young drivers the very recent used car price explosion is it.
