Their infotainment system definitely had a ton of bugs, and early versions of the software were glitchy to the point of absurdity.

That said, they have been making consistent, steady improvements to the software, such that over the past 6ish months it has gotten much, much better (especially since the 2.x update which was vastly more stable and performant). I rarely hit software issues these days.
Docker Desktop runs dockerd in a Linux VM with Apple's hypervisor framework. You can also run containers in a Linux VM with Parallels or VMware Fusion hypervisors, QEMU on macOS also uses HVF not KVM. But you can't run VMs inside those VMs as it stands today. This works fine on Intel Macs which means you can't experiment and use KVM - one of the killer features of Linux and things like https://kubevirt.io/ and firecracker. Or VMs running stuff like Proxmox TrueNAS or ESXi (all possible on Intel macs and every x86_64 CPU)
Comm | engineering | NYC onsite | https://comm.app | https://comm.page

We're a privacy startup based in NYC working on scaling E2E encryption with personal, private servers. Our first application is a federated Discord alternative targeted at crypto communities. Our biggest need right now is for an Infrastructure Lead that’s very experienced with Rust, as well as a Chief of Staff and a Product Designer.

Infrastructure Lead - Rust - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/comm/07697269-644c-4913-8ea0-60f7ee...

Chief of Staff - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/comm/662a0026-e2d6-4de8-8686-8981fd...

Product Designer - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/comm/aa297615-4ed2-4137-b8b5-9de31e...

Comm's long-term goal is to build an alternative to the centralized application server model that dominates Web2. Sophisticated apps (like Discord) need a backend, but today those backends are controlled by corporations. Our solution is to replace the cloud with a network of personal, private application servers (we call them “keyservers”).

If this sounds interesting please reach out to ashoat@comm.app!
Founders of startups that didn’t work out have potentially learned a lot of valuable knowledge. This can be very useful for future endeavors if they do it right.

On the other hand, some failed founders get a chip on their shoulder and think that their failures were only due to external factors: Bad customers, wrong investors, a bad engineering team, etc. This mindset sets people up for repeat failure. You really have to understand why their business failed and what they’re going to do differently next time.

It also depends a lot on the economy. During the 2021 boom, I had several friends “exit” their failing startups via acquihires into bigger companies. One friend admitted that his total payout in the end would be less than if he had just kept a full time job during the duration of his startup, but now he gets to be a “successful startup founder with an exit”. In an economy like today’s, that’s not going to happen.

Someone has put some notion of function identity in his head and I don’t know what school taught that notion but it needs to burn.

IBM’s Visual Age tried to behave that way and it didn’t end well. Eclipse dropped that conceit when it forked.
Lol. But really people underestimate how competitive the AI market will be - innately there isn’t a big moat in the long run or something preventing competitive entry. I will be able to choose an AI that is maximally useful to me personally, which precludes dishonest product placement.
So this is why hb started asking for access to my keychain all the time? (macos) Does it need to log in to gh to install open source software now?
I like the theory that musk is trying to win over the truck buyer segment's hearts and minds via twitter anti woke signals before releasing it to ensure there is an accepting market.

If you look at a map of the best selling vehicle by state and overlay who they voted for in the last few elections it's pretty clear who he needs to cozy up to and win over. I'm not thrilled about it, and it solidifies my choice not to buy a tesla, but it makes business sense to my uneducated eye.

Personally I like my nissan leaf and would like a nice simple plug in hybrid truck, not an electric brodozer.
That sounds perhaps normal for New York or California metros. But even in Portland, which is not renowned for it's affordable housing options, a two bedroom apartment downtown can be had for $1800/mo, and a three bedroom for $2800/mo.
Sears Craftsman, obviously.
They have so many issues in their powertrain. I work for a major oem and we chose not to even test the rivian vehicle for competitive benchmarking since the performance was so poor, there was nothing to learn from it.
Demand for luxury EVs is fading, but it is pretty strong for mid market and cheaper EVs like the Chevy Bolt.
Why would you go with "many languages" into a thread showcasing how C++ sucks? I'm pretty sure that had the author of the video done all the same manipulations in Python, the speed difference would've been negligible.

The author of the video discovered that C++ compiler is dumb when it comes to optimizing virtual method calls (that instead of bare virtual method calls he had to help the compiler to guess the right conditions where these virtual calls could be replaced with guessed static calls). Essentially, all that his video is saying is: "virtual calls bad if-else good". Which is like what every C++ game-dev thinks after few years on the job. Which is amusing in how short-sighted it is, and sometimes even more amusing to discover the "solutions" created by such C++ game-devs that are aimed at replacing C++ objects, but do it in a way that's even worse than C++ original design (who would've thought that to be possible!?)
> killing ALL telemetry is bad for everybody.

I don't think that a good case has been made for this. Telemetry does bring benefits -- it's cheaper than the old way, and captures useful things that couldn't be captured without it. But it also comes with some costs that are far from insignificant, especially for users.

I don't see any real reason to think that on the whole, telemetry has been beneficial for users. I think a stronger case can be made that it's beneficial for software makers.
The very act of asking at least shows SOME modicum of respect for the user, which is a big sign in their favor.

If they try to hide it? Huge red flag.
> The only way this kind of research could be done "in the open" is if it was funded by taxpayers' money.

Not really; the founders had plenty of money to fund it in a way that was truly open and did not generate any returns for themselves. They're choosing not to.

Silicon Valley still seems to have a huge problem with the concept of user consent and giving users meaningful choices. If "Silicon Valley" was a human being, it would be that creepy guy in the club hitting on everyone, saying "Do you want to be my girlfriend? [YES] [Ask Me Again Later]"
Those take more time and money to set up, host, maintain, and use, than a single provider. Maybe more than it's worth to avoid occasional downtime.
I wouldn't say that's GFYS, depending on how the dealership staff handled it. Supply issues are everywhere, but I agree that not letting people even sit in a car is crappy customer service.
This is not the real deal.

I found a another source by searching github(hint: search for the domain name) and it has many US live streams in HD and it's not even geo blocked.

Thanks to whoever decided to streisand this, would not found this awesome service without you.
You can set a minimum price- I’m not sure the market wouldn’t be extremely competitive for the foreseeable future.
I'm not from the US so I can't just go to Walmart and see. What are these non-standard parts? I'm aware that cheap shock absorbers can be quite wild but what weird parts would a non-suspension bike have? Of course you don't have threaded headsets or freewheels on nice bikes but those are still available and don't have many variants.
2.x to 3.x was like that too, I basically had to start over.

If you're starting a new project (like I am) I think 4.0 is the only choice. 3.x has awful 3D and even worse presets, GDScript can only be used realistically without the static typing features since they break all the time (for 4.0 they rewrote the whole thing just so they could fix static typing). C# really feels like something that was bolted on even years later.

It's not hard to see why 4.0 is such a breaking upgrade, many of 3.x problems aren't surface level, since those were ironed out long ago.
Anecdotal observation.

I strongly suspect the Black sea fleet would be the principle target of interest for the Allies if Russia used a nuke in Ukraine.

The Kerch bridge might also get a good kicking too.

Then any targets of interest in Crimea, and a no-fly policy enforced over Ukraine.

Byeloruss might also get the internal coup they so badly need as well.

Yeah, surprise surprise. Akamai will ruin everything good about Linode.
Same here. Not a single interview in 3 months. Normally by three months I’m starting a new job.

I’m probably about 50/50 ATS rejection/no response so far for submitted applications and recruiters have mostly stopped contacting me except for one or two spammy ones blowing up my email with roles completely unfit for my experience.

I’m not exactly worried about not finding a job yet, but the lack of anything to do during the day is starting to take its toll on my mental and physical health.

SkyGeo | Scientific Software Developer | Delft, Netherlands or REMOTE | Full Time | https://skygeo.com/

We are a young and dynamic data-driven company with the goal to measure the world. We use advanced satellite technology, InSAR, to detect the slightest movements of the earth’s surface anywhere in the world. Our in-house technologies are used across various industries from mining to civil engineering to give customers ways to monitor, alert and quantify their assets.

While we are not a start-up anymore and fully fund ourselves we still value creative problem-solving, flat hierarchies, and everybody having a voice to build the best global monitoring product possible.

Our primary language of choice is Python. Being a geospatial company, we use tools such as Rasterio, Pyproj, GeoPandas, and PyGEOS.
We process large amounts of data, which means we have to be very deliberate about performance and scalability. This means we do vectorized operations using Numpy, compile with Numba where possible, and utilize lazy evaluation solutions, such as Dask provides.

Since we are dealing with complex data, a (geo-)scientific background is a plus. As a Scientific Software Developer at Skygeo, you will be operating on the interface between mathematics, geo-data analytics, and programming.

We are looking for both mid-level and senior engineers to help grow and maintain our scientific software toolchain.

If you have deployed apps to the cloud, have worked with large data sets, and value to conceptualize and build features for a growing product in a small team we would like to hear from you.

Our team is somewhat distributed between Europe and the US, while we value office time in our HQ in Delft, we are also open to remote work or hybrid in our NYC office if you can overlap with the rest of the team at core hours of 13:00 - 17:00 CET.

The entire python package management situation can be summed up with "we have no clue".
This thread isn't about any backend migration, but the switch from Comixology's own app to Kindle. Apparently it was a disaster and people were unhappy, but there's no indication in these tweets as to why. Was the engineering not good enough? Bugs? Bad product management? Unrealistic deadlines? Were the acquired engineers just waiting for their lock up periods to expire so they could quit? Was Amazon management deliberately sabotaging them?

I have seen all of these situations (and more) play out before, so it's never as simple as blaming a tech stack.

He is, but it is weird given the history he has. He was kicked out of Paypal because he wanted to use the MS tech stack instead of LAMP at the time. Now some decades later here he is.
GitHub uses pools of mirrors, too, they're just transparent.

twice this year I've had to spend an hour or more with a user because a mirror was down. that's one more time than I've had to deal with a GitHub packages outage this year.

the latest was yesterday. they chose another pool of mirrors and the mirror continually chosen from that pool was down as well. finally I manually checked a mirror, made sure it was up and that signatures matched, then gave them that specific hostname.

the Linux package distribution system is not better. it's just different.
Well, in Europe, if you want to know how much a user pays, you need to tie telemetry to their account containing personal information, which is forbidden by GPRD unless they give their explicit consent and they have a process to delete/rectify/download all of it.

Since most telemetry are optout and don't bother about giving users access to their data, they can't legally do it.

That's my point really: useful telemetry is really, really invasive. So just ask consent, and accept most users will tell you no.

If you chose what's convenient instead, you will not only have a mixed bag of data, but also you have decide to basically force yourself on people, in an age where a part of your userbase is getting upset over things like using the wrong pronoun on them.

I tell yes to Firefox and VLC to report on my usage. It tell no to Google and Microsoft. They want their cake and it it: behave badly, and then have we trust them.
That analogy is pretty pointless, anyhow. I trust a desk made by a carpenter not a writer. I don't expect a kitchen made by a cook.

Show HN: Our Favorite Websites Are Contributing to Climate Change
If the internet were a country, it'd be the 7th most polluting. In the past 10 years alone, websites have grown 320% heavier.

This website presents an analysis of the hidden cost of the internet's top 250 websites, comparing their carbon footprint & their yearly environmental impact.

Our analysis shows that 40% of these websites generate significantly more than the global average of 0.5g CO2 per page load — some up to a whopping 16g.

Compounded by millions or billions of visitors, they unnecessarily generate about 234,342,373kg (515M pounds) of CO2 every single year. This is the same as a gas car driving around the Earth 23 million times. We'd need around 4 billion trees growing for 10 years to absorb this amount.

There are plenty of ways to reduce a website's emissions. For example, if all the analyzed websites were using a green host, the overall emissions would be 76.15% lower. That's a HUGE reduction with relatively little effort.

However, most companies choose profit over the planet.
