The problem is modern attempts to birfurcate UX into silos of efficiency-agnostic design art + implementation-only engineering.

If you call designers artists, remove objective KPIs, and give them free reign, you get one-button mice. Similarly, if you let engineers build something, you end up with git's cli.

Once you commit capital to a VC fund you generally can't pull out. VCs don't take the money immediately, but eventually they will issue capital calls, which require you, as an LP, to wire them money. Your commitment amount is basically the most money, in total, you're willing to wire them over the course of an entire fund (10 years).

It's important to note that most of the time when VCs do poorly they still find a way to return most of the original investment to the LP. The downside is not nearly as pronounced as the potential upside. So you can invest in several VC funds and if only one wins the math will still work out in your favor.

LPs know what VCs are. LPs have risk spreads and VC is (IIRC) the riskiest legal asset class. They expect to (on average) lose money on VC commitments, but the upside is much higher when a VC hits, meaning a single win can make up for a lot of losses. Picking VCs that win is one way LPs generate outsized returns on their assets.
totally agree. In our previous apartment we had an oven with a touch screen and a stove with touch controls (no screen). They were our least favorite items at home. In a kitchen setting especially, it's very hard to operate touch interfaces.
Also still using a X220 (X230 motherboard swapped) with Debian and a T430s (with 1080p swap) with Windows.

Agreed that the X220 form and function is excellent. The 7-row keyboard is amazing. The IPS screen is serviceable. The swappable 9-cell batteries give around 10 hours of battery life each. The i7-3520M is noticeably faster than the i5-8250U in my surface pro 6, even though benchmarks suggest it shouldn't be.

Just tried a new T14. The keyboard is decent. I haven't found any laptops with a keyboard as good as the 7-row.
I find that having an up to date year on a copyright line (pref a range from first pub to now) is a "remove the brown m&ms" signal (https://www.thewrap.com/van-halen-brown-mms-remove-concert-r... or a zillion others). If a person or team didn't catch this, what other details did they miss?

So, sure, not required, but helpful to show someone either a) sweats the details or b) knows how to put the year in a generated text line... but at least they took the time to care, once.

(Edited to mention range. Seeing other folks mention hassles of code history just to change year will temper my use of this signal)
Maybe she knows herself, hopefully she isn’t getting pressured to do something she doesn’t want to do. Ask her what, instead of talk therapy, she thinks would be helpful. The answer might be enlightening.
For corporate "authorship" (i.e., a work made for hire), the term is not to exceed 95 years from the date of publication and not to exceed 120 years from the date of creation. 17 U.S.C. § 302(c). https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/302

In the tech world, it's hard to imagine that software or content published today will be relevant in a century, but by not updating the year, you are risking the possibility that copyright protection will be cut off sooner (or more likely and more subtly, future infringers will have an innocent infringement defense).
YNAB supports auto imports. They use both Plaid and MX. Initially they only used MX, but then for whatever reason there was a point where they were trying to drop MX but they gave up when plaid proved to be more (or just as) unreliable, now they use both. Each user is only supposed to use one or the other. You don’t get to choose they assign it to you randomly when you sign up, you’ll know based on the UI which you got. If a specific bank is having trouble connecting, support can manually set that bank for that user to be through the other service, I’ve had to do this a few times. Their support is stellar, still I wish banks provided better APIs.

They’ve raised their prices recently which got a lot of people very upset. A few went off on their own to create a new budgeting app, but since then most of those efforts died due to the giant undertaking it is as mentioned upthread. I don’t think any of those efforts made it to the auto import stage.

I really hope that'll be true for me as well. (still have a few years left in that age span)

Each time I go to bed early and get enough sleep, I just love the morning hours and being done with the day's work while the sun is still shines is really nice.

Yet no matter how hard I try it seems the temptations of the internet get me every time and with a blinks it's 3 am :(

It's probably easier if you've got a partner who is a natural early bird.
One wonders about the future when Gangs could be leveraging big data and machine learning to track police and predict where they will raid. "Predictive policing" indeed.
My impression is, that 90% of people don’t understand classic climate controls and always use them wrong. And in the end they are not satisfied with the result.

That’s probably why car manufacturers nudge the user to only chose the temperature, and try to figure out everything else automatically. For the remaining 10% of power users, they hide the settings in some submenus.

This leads probably to better overall customer satisfaction.

And i have to admit that I also mostly use the automatic settings. If the automatics are good (and Mercedes does it well), that’s usually enough.
For what it's worth, Washington, DC, has an Office of the Tenant Advocate.
Here's some good examples of what climate controls looked like before computers took over; automated, yet easily operated without even looking at them, and with actual text labels instead of confusing pictograms:

When the sun is hitting me, I need it to be about 5 degrees cooler. Does the climate control account for that?

I believe the layoffs were in response to the stock prices and the general market sentiment that the fed caused.

The rates will come down at first because inflation has been beat. Then it will come down more when it becomes clear that the fed screwed up both ways and now has to try to fix the economy.

Then the consumer will stop buying things because prices are going the other way fast. AKA a deflationary bust which can be much worse than anything we have seen in our lifetimes.

What is the resilience of these things like? Currently, and potentially? Sounds like a really cool technology, but if your self-illuminating running trousers only last ten minutes, or can't be washed, not actually very useful.
From what I understand, currently, if the font (actually: the parts of it needed to render the PDF) isn’t embedded, but you have the font installed, the renderer will use that font, an you’ll see the document as intended.

When support is removed, the renderer will look for/guess at the best replacement you have installed. As the article says, that may have subtle or not so subtle differences.

I don’t think it will be that bad, though. If you care, I think you’ll already have embedded fonts in your PDFs for decades, even for fonts that ‘everybody’ already has, because the probability that ‘my Font’ is exactly the same font as ‘your Font’ is fairly slim.

To the extent that you can put your functionality as a dependency in a container, that's not what I'm talking about. If you can do that then we are all hunky dory.

The problem is with functionality that is only available as a remote API, because for whatever reason we wanted to be cloud native rather than rely on free and open source libraries. I cannot pin that dependency version, as best I can choose which version of the API I am talking to, but if they have changed the underlying implementation then I can't request them to roll that back just for me.
hashnode.com checks all the criteria you mentioned. Worth checking about.
FDA no longer functions to protect consumers.

It's there to protect industry against consumers and any defeat of profit.

The wild wild west of the food and supplement industry where anything goes, what's on the label is not only self-reported, it is virtually never verified and even if "caught" the penalties are trivial.

Goes right along with the EPA etc. which have all been "kneecapped" by congress and the political agenda of "deregulation = profit"
Hempcrete.

Large scale hempcrete use will require large scale hemp cultivation, and large scale agriculture requires large scale application of nitrogen fertilizers. Which requires large scale industrial manufacture of ammonia from fossil carbon sources (which produces waste CO2). Is that input factored in to the net carbon budget of this product?

There must be some bummed out designers in these companies who know better than to mediate all these tactile controls.
Pretty much. I’m bipolar and every moment I need to have some awareness of where my mood is and do course corrections to head off episodes or emotional overreactions.

I quite literally can’t trust how I feel from minute to minute. Knowing my logical analysis of situations can also be compromised causes me to run deeper mental self-tests several times per day.

I’m used to this but it’s a constant low-grade drain on my attention.

Meditation is dangerous for me as it quickly leads to dangerous psychosis. (Life is a video game and I can’t really die.)

Some actual feedback about the product instead of just the marketing website:

- You need to make it possible to clone an existing template that shows of the features, see Notion as an example of where you almost always start from a template. (I see this is a paid feature maybe, but if so then you need a trial because it's not complete without it)

- When creating a project I'm not likely to know why I would want a label text and color.

- There is a lot of functionality and that makes it hard to make a path through the app (UX flow)

- For some cases, like Software Development estimating the cost/time is hard. Part of the reason that we do Fibonacci story points as a measure of complexity. This isn't going to apply to every type of project, but if I'm modelling out a tech startup using your tool then it's going to be an issue.

- Features, Pricing, Contact Us, How to's should not be in the top menu after I'm in the app.

Overall I think you have a solid problem that you're trying to tackle but it needs to be a lot easier to approach than it is currently. That means making it much easier to add common types of things (if it's a wedding the interface could look quite different, to planning a trip), it's the same mechanics under the hood but I'm not left drowning in options.

As I said in another comment. Congrats on launching.

Surely it’s straightforward to use templating and always pull the year from a date library. No changes to source control needed.

Edit: as the article mentions open source documentation it’s possible the repo itself is what needs the year, and there’s no way around hardcoding it in the included licence.

I eventually did what you suggested. The issue I found with this is that usually across from the copyright is our attribution link, and we'd often have clients that didn't update their website's "look and feel" for many years. The year would be current, and it could make it appear as if an old design was "current".
That's one way to do it, but not the only safe and effective way. Also some injuries will prevent turning the body around in the seat.
The warning is fine, the warning while playing Pollyanna is annoying and disingenuous. To put it in a more constructive way - the author should be proud of the hack and all the fun and turmoil it could cause.
I bought a new car last year, and I didn't set out to buy the cheapest car on the lot, but I ended up buying an ecosport partially because I really liked that it has buttons for everything. This is probably because the car came stock with a 4" screen (the minimum required for the backup camera), but it's really nice having physical buttons for climate control, since pretty much everything else I looked at had touchscreen UI for nearly everything.

Plus, thanks to the excellent folks at cyanlabs[0], $150 worth of parts from a junkyard and I was able to get the larger screen so I can use Android Auto with the map at a usable size. I don't mind the touchscreen UI for something like selecting audio or map destination, since I can do that while parked. The only feature/option I actually miss from a higher optioned car is seatwarmers, which I'll probably add before next winter.

So yes, part of the reason I ended up in the cheapest car they sell is the better UI of the controls (that, and I liked the smaller physical size of the vehicle). I ended up spending ~20k less than I was originally budgeting for the edge. Sure, this is anecdotal and I realize I may be an outlier, but the UI was a major part of the purchase decision and I know enough about the industry to confidently state that most of that extra money is pure profit margin for Ford. BOM cost on an optioned up Edge isn't significantly higher than the base ecosport, so that is way worse profit margin for them.

> If you call designers artists, remove objective KPIs, and give them free reign, you get one-button mice. Similarly, if you let engineers build something, you end up with git's cli.

Am I in the wrong to think both of these are plenty functional to the point I like them?

A one button mouse functions a lot like a touchbad when you factor in meta keys (at least to my memory -- I've only ever used one in conjunction with schooling years due to low-Apple footprint). And having learned git cli recently, it seems to make sense to me.

But I agree generally -- silo boundaries can lead to poor results due to ignoring second order effects and holistic user experience (your users aren't siloed).

I am, yes.

However, I did initially misspell the prompt to say "heaver", and with the misspelling it had answered correctly. Once I corrected it to "heavier", it then came up with the wrong answer.

Looking at it with fresh eyes, it's possible that my methodology was flawed. While I only ever intended to showcase the first response, I did also try regenerating the responses a few times. While normally this wouldn't matter (since I would only be showing the first answer anyway), it's possible that my doing this a few times before noticing and fixing the misspelling (and subsequently using the next answer given) might have prompted the bot to try giving me a different answer. (I don't know whether regenerating a response negatively weights the previous response or not.)

I apologise for not mentioning this! In my defense, I was tired.
Something few people know about: Haiku adopted openSUSE libsolv, built for zypper, to solve dependencies even before Fedora.

libsolv, created by Michael Schoeder at SUSE, has two innovations:

- a memory optimized format to represent packages and its dependencies, using hashed string pools
- a SAT solver able to operate directly in this representation, battle tested in this particular scenario of complex upgrades, including hundred of testcases.

Haiku uses mainly the solver only, as far as I saw in the source.
Alternatively they "sweat the details" to such an extent that they even understand this aspect of the law and therefore know that it isn't necessary and don't do it. The m&m thing isn't relevant here, the situation is different.
I'm very happy to see that the author has included more than one factor in their analysis:

> "The main goal of climate controls is to make the passengers comfortable. PO Fanger defines thermal comfort as being influenced by six factors: air temperature, heat radiation, air flow, humidity, activity level, and clothing. The car can control the first four factors."

I would like to point out that direct conduction is also extremely important, and that radiation is generally more important than air temperature in daily life. However, it is difficult to directly control conduction and radiation - those are generally changed by changing air temperature.

In fact, liquid water is a bigger factor than any of the named factors, but we generally do not try to control how wet a person is with our HVAC systems.

Here's one tiny case study: A person is cold, because it is wintertime, and it is cold and overcast outside. Their windows are cold, but do not leak much air. After they pull the curtains closed, they feel warmer because their body is no longer radiating as much heat toward the window (you feel the relative difference in heat radiation).

They turn on their home heating system, which increases the temperature, but does not add total humidity. Thus the relative humidity and vapor pressure of water decrease and they perceive that the air has dried out. The home heater raises the air temperature relatively quickly, but their outside walls are cold-soaked and do not heat up quickly - they still feel a chill.

They turn on an oil-filled electric radiator. The radiator consumes 1400 Watts, much less than the home heating system (over 5,000 Watts), so it does not change air temperature much; but it does give the person some comfort.

They turn on a heating pad on the couch. It only consumes a few hundred Watts, but all of the heat is transmitted directly into the person and they warm up quickly.

The person also consumes a hot drink and dries off from the drizzle they walked through. As they dry off, they feel much warmer as their skin is no longer losing heat to water phase change (evaporation).

----

Now, do I expect a car climate system to handle all of that? Not a bit. But we are always telling ourselves simplified stories. The actual story of comfort is very complicated.
I loved this!

Good automatics often use AC and heating in parallel, to dehumidify the air (to prevent foggy windows). It may be a waste of energy though.

And good automatics won’t crank up the heat if there is just one degree difference. Except electric cars heating is usually for free, because you just use the available heat from the engine.
> I experienced a deep realisation that our thoughts manifest from nowhere and not from ourselves (words fail me here) and that the construct of 'me' was completely false and was just a reverberation of my environment.

Scott Alexander had reviews of Dan Ingram and related 'modern day enlightened'. I seem to recall a suggestion that these people could be considered to have developed something like a self induced, positive version of dissociative personality disorder.

They would get angry or hungry or grumpy, but 'they' were a step away from this person that was hungry or angry or whatever.

It's like they had zoomed in and drawn some separations between the various layers of consciousness that we consider all one and the same.

Fascinating, but not something I'm interested in doing.
