I've done little more than a quick drive through Joshua Tree, but I expect that like most national parks there's not a lot of options for how to get from point A to point B on the roads. The vehicle in question is Corolla, so it will not venture far off pavement.

1. You leave a note or maybe several of them. If things go well you will be reunited with your partner soon and you can drive back to clean up your litter. If things go poorly, it's a clue to the search party that you aren't lost in the back country. If it's a popular trailhead, there will be a log book there. Make a note in it with the date, time, your phone number, and your plan.

2. You start walking to the main road but only if that is the same route that you expect your ride to be coming from. Do not accept a ride from anyone except a park ranger that can radio in to head off a search party. You are not the first person that's been in this predicament.

3. While walking, when a car approaches hold up an empty water bottle as a sign you need more water. Decline any offer for a ride, but graciously accept water, gatorade, and snacks.

4. As soon as you get a connection to civilization, try to get in touch with your ride. That will most likely fail, in which case notify the park rangers of the situation. Your ride may need a rescue somewhere too. This is especially true if this not-a-hiker person decided to try to track you down in the back country as it was getting dark.

Is that void(...code...) syntax a good way to execute bookmarks? Also, your code is not urlencoded?

I use javascript:(function(){...code...})() and urlencode the whole thing.

If you need a metaphor to understand this perspective: there's a difference between building a bridge that gets some cars over it, and building a bridge that will continue to get cars over it, in thirty years, while accounting for the expected investment of maintenance over those thirty years, and supporting an expanded pedestrian and bike lane added ten years down the line, to the best of the ability of the engineer during the initial planning, while keeping build costs under control.

Yeah; working only with Good code is a luxury. But simultaneously, admitting to recognize "It Works" as the most important metric to evaluate good engineering practices by is quite literally what led to the East Palestine disaster last week. Being able to abscond from the responsibility of the repercussions of your "It Works" solution is also a luxury; or, charging those "obscene contracting rates" you talk about.

Software Engineering is nascent. We don't always know, and even less often have a good shared language to talk about, what is "The Right Decision" in every context. That isn't an excuse to not try.
Oh? Fascinating how much you know about how I make choices. If you really can read minds from a distance, maybe try poker?

Sorry to be difficult, but the general deterioration of the search experience from "find best thing for the customer" to "find thing that makes Amazon maximum money" is a huge part of the problem for me. I've never received a counterfeit from Amazon, but every time I try to use it I feel the loss of trustworthiness. Maybe trust isn't a big deal to you, but it sure is to me.
> A recall should unambiguously mean that some action from the owner is required to resolve the issue (e.g. taking it to a dealer to get a software update installed.)

Should, perhaps. But recall has a meaning with legal implications, so it matters. A recall requires the fix status to be tracked and reported for example, whereas a random OTA updated does not.
I’m guessing that ForEx ratio is highly dependent upon where you are when you trade it and I would wager the volumes are low or non-existent in any country that has sanctioned Russian exports like oil, gas, and metals.
> I am curious about what scenarios would make one want to use systemd-boot (or grub) instead.

I have Linux VMs which boots in ~2s (to ssh login; ~700ms to userspace). I use systemd-boot because it has nicer integration with my distro of choice than bare EFI stub, and it adds very minimal overhead in boot time.

It's totally reasonable: users would be happier, YouTube can charge more for it (YT Premium+?), and YT analytics can detect when a sponsor segment (which many videos already label, and which are known to be about 60s long) is skipped and pass those metrics on to the content creator so the sponsor isn't being cheated.

Everybody wins. (Yes this doesn't work for heavily integrated sponsorships but it'd still get most of them.)

I believe that is the point he was making. 90 foot balloons aren't exactly discrete and if they were ever used for spying, their shelf life would be extremely low with a high probability of ending up being seized by whoever you were spying on, on top of it. Maybe you have some self detonation mechanism on board, but now you also are sending something which could be perceived to be a weapon. It's just really not a logical concept, at all.
There’s a theory I’ve seen in occasional security related things where you publicly publish your private keys when you’re done with them. That way later on you gain some plausible deniability related to any communications and data found later.

When Facebook was new there were stories about people failing interviews because some employer say a picture of them at a bar on Facebook (as if most people don’t go to bars when they’re young). Obviously that doesn’t really happen anymore, but I consider a lot of AI content generation to be the “releasing private keys” for your digital footprint. Was I at that bar or was it stable diffusion?

Show HN: I made an extension for ChatGPT that lets you track changes
I’ve been using this for my own workflow and friends suggested I share it with them so I quickly threw together my first chrome extension! As an ex-editor, I think chatGPT is overlooked as an editor with everyone jumping straight into writing. Editing is essentially giving it as comprehensive a writing prompt as possible. Playing with the actual prompt also gets you a wide range of different results that grammarly/other apps cant really do. The x% has been changed tool was the first thing I built to see how intrusive chatGPT's editing was at a glance. My biggest struggle was trying to limit chatGPT from doing too much.

Some example prompts

Proofread this but only fix grammar: (10% change)

Proofread this: (20-30% change)

Proofread this, lightly improving clarity and flow: (30-40% change)

Proofread this, improving clarity and flow: (30-50% change)

Proofread this, significantly improving clarity and flow: (40-60% change)

I never know what I'm about to say, but somehow coherent sentences come out.

I certainly don't know what words a sentence is going to end with when I'm thinking or saying the first words in the sentence. I just think or say the sentence from start to finish, never knowing what the next word is going to be as I'm thinking the current one, and by the end of it I've thought or said a full sentence that makes sense.

Trucks have had reverse beepers for a very long time, because the drivers can't see behind them (though modern remote back-up cameras can fix this). Car drivers didn't need this because they had good visibility to the rear.

These days, everyone is driving around in a gigantic off-road vehicle with terrible rear visibility, though again the back-up cameras mitigate this.

As for common sense and regulators, decades ago it was considered perfectly fine and normal for people to not wear seatbelts, and to be regularly impaled on the steering column in a crash. Regulators eventually decided this wasn't good enough, but it took them a very long time. Seat belts were offered back in the early 60s I think, maybe 50s, but people didn't use them. Any idiot can tell that a seat belt keeps you from being impaled on the steering column, but obviously much of the population didn't have much common sense.

Halogen headlights were significantly lower lumens, lower color temperature and more diffuse. That's not rose tinted glasses. It's fact.

I tend to take the view that thoughts are very similar to sensory input. if you sit in silence for 60 seconds, you literally do not and can not predict what thoughts pop up in consciousness. You can actively focus attention on a thought, but if you try to find the source of the thought, it disapears. Thoughts just appear, just like sounds, sight, etc just appear.

If you put the bike thieves in jail, sure. And when your e-bike gets stolen, you may well think you want them in jail. But the next week, the New York Times writes an article about how there are too many non-violent offenders in jail and the incarceration crisis is a national shame. Now the e-bike owner is outraged and wants the thief out of jail. It's not trivial to come up with a punishment that will deter the thieves without also deterring the voters from seeing it administered.

return el

Usage:

'Ding!',
])

Makes me wonder, at what point will people start self hosting again, instead of getting dragged around by large companies like Google and Microsoft? I manage my own email server for myself and family. That, plus Next cloud gives me everything I'd need from Google/etc. Plus I host a few extra sites and services that GSuite/365 can't replicate. I'm fairly confident I could scale to a few hundred users if I took it seriously. Even more if I had someone else as a backup. The reliance on vendors and sass products for everything kinda baffles me.

"Recall" with cars is a legal term that means something specific.

That's not a criteria for a recall. A recall can be for a small thing completely unrelated to driving safety. Someone else mentioned having a recall to replace a sticker. My most recent recall was to replace the trunk lifts.

"Recall" for a car just means a specific procedure now has to be followed, tracked and reported. It says nothing about the safety criticality of the fix.

No problem! Just take up two spaces, or park in the way, if that what it takes.

On the one hand, parking is not a big issue in most places where this is a thing (though injuries resulting from vehicle collisions are.) On the other hand, this is the reaction of a culture that suspects it is being screwed out of something it thinks it is entitled to, but has no understanding of how or why it is happening, and responds through meaningless acts of somewhat aggressive defiance against responsible civil behavior. Yes, it is juvenile - welcome to the second millennium!
Yeah I feel like there’s a corollary to Eternal September where while the common areas of the Internet might be flooded with n00bs, the places that are less than user-friendly may remain intact to the curmudgeonly and the niche.

I simply won't take the job if someone demands I do a rush job of programming train braking systems.

It seems like you're reading into what I'm saying a commitment to "not trying" and "[a] metric for evaluating good engineering practices". I'm absolutely not, I'm arguing against the kind of sneering belief in self-superiority that leads some software developers to feel like someone who uses a particular method or way of making working software, "sucks".
`const` prevents surface-level mutation (though you can still modify the parts of the thing). `let` has sane scoping rules. Sadly neither has both: `let` is fully mutable and `const` has crazy scoping rules. So using `const` over `let` isn't a strict improvement.

So... these products all were made in the same facility with sesame seeds before. But the FDA won't accept the voluntary "made in the same facility" warning as a disclaimer to waive liability; products must contain sesame to be labeled as such. It's a badly written law, and companies are just complying with it to cover themselves. Rewrite the law and you'll find that all these things already contained trace amounts of sesame. Then address that problem if you need to.
