I on the other hand, I applaud the politicians who had the guts to push the ICE car sales ban against the push-back of the established cars manufacturers.

ICE cars are such a nuisance in cities by polluting the air. I look forward to a time when my children will be able to enjoy clean air in the cities.
> FWD cars have a huge advantage over anything RWD: traction going up hill.

You got that backwards.

Forward acceleration transfers weight to the rear axle. The harder you accelerate, the more weight transfers to the rear, which means the more traction is available to the rear wheels, less to the front wheels.

It's easy to visualize if you think of the case of extreme acceleration such as in a motorcycle or drag race car - the front wheel(s) lift off the ground entirely and thus have zero traction.

Going uphill only accentuates this even more, so FWD is going to be at an even greater disadvantage.
I was asked one of these questions at a publicly owned organisation about 10 years ago, I told them I could do it, but I'd use a specific Apache library, and answered on how the library is used, I also have a second choice of library and illustration.

I failed to get the job.

That company has a massive staff turnover, and as well as other high profile foul ups, has recently been responsible for updating the details of hundreds of benefits recipients with identical address values.

I also had this same experience with another company 15 years ago that is what recruiters call evergreen (always hiring). This is because they have similar archaic practices and I've been told the turnover is because they have a huge mashup of custom code and implementations.

> On the downside, you now need to heat the cabin manually, rather than reusing the ICE heat.

Most modern airliners do not use bleed air for climate control in the cabin anymore.
How outrageous, they want to use the infrastructure like they're people?
This helps somewhat, but there might be many original sources of the same thing, more or less depending on what we are talking about ?
This might be true in USA where society have built itself to be almost fully dependent on cars. As a non-american: I have not owned a car in 10 years. You are not forced to have to own a car by some force of nature.
Someone should do a followup on all the batteries break-troughs on the front page of HN over the last 5 years and count how many got into production.

Still, an announcement from a big company like this is a lot more credible than from research labs or small start-ups, IMO.

I’m afraid these bans get systematically sabotaged by well funded ice lobby groups.

Just look at what happened to the EU’s ice ban for personal vehicles.

Spoiler: while new gasoline burning cars are technically banned after 2035 it will be completely legal to sell new gasoline burning cars by labelling them e-fuel only…
I'm with you on this. Running Flash as a plugin in a browser is not something I want at all. Flash Player was awful.

But...

The Flash editor/IDE was brilliant, and that's something that the web sorely needs. There's a few libraries that can do similar things (eg theatre.js) but they don't do enough. Flash's editor was genuinely easy to use once you'd mastered a few things, and if you remembered to save regularly, and it enabled people to make fantastic games, sites, experiences, etc.

I suspect the lack of a really good animation and interaction design tool is one thing that's lead to the homogenization of the internet.
Unfortunately that has always been the case when it comes to applying for EU funds, unless you're a very big company and you have a dedicated department for that (and even then I'd say in some cases it makes more sense to outsource this process to companies which do that for a living).
Yep, absolutely true -- I worked on the project ("FDR / New Deal").

It was originally supposed to prevent a repeat of the Hon Hai Zhengzhou incident where a team of line workers mixed/matched parts from units that failed QC and sold the Frankensteined units on the grey market. (Massively oversimplified, but that's the general gist)

The resulting near-total inability to swap screens/buttons without knowing someone with FDR update access was seen as acceptable collateral damage.
In ~15 years if you buy an ICE you also need to afford the gas.
I grew up in agricultural rural America in the 80s and 90s. Tons of pickup trucks and, later, SUVs! Subjectively, though, I'd say:

* The real farm families would have a pickup for pulling a horse trailer, moving mulch/manure/hay bales/equipment, but also have a regular sedan for, like, driving places.

* The suburban families would have a pickup or SUV as a daily driver.

A quick Google search seems to back my impresssion:

"According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less."

As you say, taxing the externality is reasonable (and currently imperfect, in a few dimensions). One reason to look especially hard at SUVs and light trucks is that they have externalities in a number of dimensions (road wear, emissions, accident safety for other cars) and seem to have very limited utility (most people who buy them aren't really using them for their supposed purpose).
> If the owner was in control of the kill-switch, it would still have all benefits of theft protection, without the problems that arise with a manufacturer controlling devices indefinitely.

Apple has a similar feature for its devices that is in control of the user, but ultimately it's still depends on the device connecting to the internet and getting a ping that it's "lost" from Apple's servers. There's not really anything stopping Apple from locking people's devices, either.

I just feel like "self hosting" isn't a real company solution to a kill switch, so I'm not sure how you have a kill switch without interacting with the company in any way, even if you're not John Deere.
Asking LLMs why they made a specific decision is a very common misconception.

The state that lead to their previous generation was GBs of floating point calculations which were discarded as soon as the output had been generated.

If you ask them why they said something they will generate a brand new explanation based on the previous text they generated, but any relationship to their actual decision process will be entirely coincidental.

Update: I just noticed that the article uses this:

> If you cannot return executable python code return set the reason why in the description and return no code.

That DOES work - getting it to generate justification during a single response isn't affected by the lost state issue I'm describing here.
This[1] is a great video on the topic of cutovers. Not quite downtime-less, but seriously impressive little amount of downtime in any case.

A thought I’ve had for a few years now is that the loss of the Flash runtime (and the rise of mobile) might have been the proximate cause for the end of fun small web based videos and games but what is really missing is an authoring tool as good as Flash was for HTML5. Virtually everything the flash plugin could do, a browser can do with canvas and whatnot. But the magic was really that the Flash authoring tool opened up to a canvas you could draw on with tools most kids knew from Paint. With a little experimenting you could figure out the timeline and start animating things. If you wanted to go even further and add interactivity, you could edit ActionScript again right in the interface. It wasn’t easy but the visuals-first, almost but not quite WYSISYG aspect made it pickuppable instead of like learning to wrangle a text editor or whatever. The closest thing now is Unity but to me it misses that immediacy and simplicity.
> eBPF was linux-only in such a way that loading eBPF program into

Copyright doesn't work like that:

1. If some particular eBPF program is a derived work of the kernel, then whether it's loaded or not doesn't matter. Distributing that program (such as embedded into an ELF binary) would still require being accompanied by its source code (/ a written offer, etc).

2. If some eBPF program is not a derived work, then loading it into the kernel doesn't cause the userspace program to become a derived work. Programs distributed as interpreted bytecode are not automatically derived works of their interpreter.

3. Even if a program depends on GPL'd code in such a way as to be a derived work when compiled, its own license only needs to be compatible with the GPL, it doesn't need to be GPL'd itself. For example, it's legal to write and distribute a Linux kernel module licensed under various permissive licenses (MIT, 3-clause BSD, etc).
It was three to four people who were poring over packet analysers, so probably a similar number of man hours.
That's pretty impressive. What model are you using?

France hasn't spent the last 60 years building their tourist and media complex around living royals. Sure, France does fine with museums alone. Would England? Maybe. Maybe not.
Probably a bigger reason to use MTA less than 64k (9k-16k) is than 64k frames can quickly fill up small buffers in switches and routers and memory allocator in OS kernels may also be optimized for lower values.
The Senior Inkscape developer post seems to be one of those postings where a company already has someone in mind, and phrases the job listing to be specific only to that person. (But hey, good that an FOSS dev on the project finally gets paid!)

The GTK post seems more real, and I hope they find a good candidate
I'm seeing quite a few startups who seem to focus on helping people document and discover their environmental footprint more so than changing it, often with a focus on compliance. This is obviously great if it does lead to real initiatives and changes in the companies and the markets they act in, but there is a hint of bureaucratic busywork to it. A focus on papers over improvements.
No, there are now CGMs that are available without a prescription as an assistive device for sports. You're not supposed to use those for medical purposes, but you can get them without a prescription.

Heck, you can even get medical-grade Freestyle Libre CGMs without a prescription, if you know where to look -- see https://agelessrx.com/cgm-sensor/ for one example, or https://beyondtype2.org/cgms-without-insurance/ for another.
In a high level 3d engine like this you do not need advanced math. You basically only need to know about coordinate systems. Linear algebra is good if you want to make your own 3d engine from scratch. Just start with something simple and learn along the way.
You weren't kidding about it chugging on mobile. I'm on a Google Pixel 6 and it crashed my browser :'D. Perhaps it can be used as a nice stres test for Ruffle. Also, I would appreciate some screenshots showing where and how Ruffle differs from Flash, it's not like I can install Flash plugin on a current browser and check for myself.
There may still be a choice, I'm preparing to go carless in a few years.
curious if this is just against legacy car makers or whether it also works against tesla, rivian, lucid (or any other almost software first car company). presumably not?
These companies are not doing any lobbying though, they are helping with the huge amount of paperwork and compliance work that needs to be done.
Yes, it would seem preferable to reuse the same energy storage over and over again, as opposed to digging it out of the ground at huge expense, shipping it across the world, and then spreading it out into the environment as a cloud of toxic particles after one use.

Well, no, but

“More is Different” the 1972 article Stephen Wolfram plagiarized
>Airline travel is only better than cars if you compare it to a 1-passenger car

Why would you compare it with anything else? People don't actually fill their 5-8-person vehicles, almost ever, and certainly not on longer trips. I don't have any sources handy, but I'm pretty sure an airplane is significantly more fuel-efficient (which also means less CO2 output) per person for a NYC-LA trip than a gigantic pickup truck with even 2 people.

Comparing air travel to a fully-occupied Prius is a ridiculous comparison, because Americans just don't ever drive that way. They drive huge trucks and SUVs and they drive them with 1, or at most, 2 people.
If it was cheaper now for people to buy EV over ICE upfront (externalities be damned because "loin des yeux loin du couer" [not like most people buying EV now give a damn about the supply chain for the minerals that go into the batteries...]), there would be very little push back. It's really not that difficult to understand.
In much of the world, owning a car at all puts you above "poor people". While owning a car is sadly needed in some parts of the world to get to work or even the stores (US..), it's a massive financial burden for most people. If you care for poor people, thinking about how people can go about their daily lives without spending thousands of dollars each year on owning a car would be the way to go.
Good, lobbies are a constant. So, it's nicer to have lobbies obsessing about renewable tech and solutions to climate change rather than actively working to promote the burning of oil and coal. Nothing good has ever come out of that.
Human intelligence is social (and some animals' as well). The majority of your knowledge was distilled by the previous generations, not you personally.

>Some genres are formulaic by design, but the draw for so many others is the human experience and the inventiveness.

Those genres are safe (for a while), but they're also a puny portion of the market. American pop music is totally going to be replaced by AI. It's been nothing but awful, formulaic crap for the last 25 years, so there's no way that AI-generated music could possibly be worse.
You're being pedantic. Sure, there's zero chance humans will actually go extinct; instead, the climatic effects and then the ensuing breakdown in society leading up to thermonuclear war will "only" wipe out 99% of the population, leaving some bands of survivors to live in the rubble. In 10,000 years, humans will still be around, living in small tribes just as they were 1M years ago, and unable to regain ever regain the level of technology they had before because easy-to-access energy sources are all depleted so a new industrial revolution is impossible. For all intents and purposes, humans as a global society will be extinct, even if the species itself isn't. Perhaps our descendants will evolve into aquatic creatures with smaller heads and brains.
Yeah, walking from Rosslyn to Mt Vernon would take a really long time. Walking to Old Town Alexandria, however, is pretty doable for a day, though you'd probably want to take the subway back home afterwards.
Trust in a bank's stablecoin obviously tied to trust in that bank's stability in general. So this particular problem is reduceable to the one we've been having all the time banks exist.

My blood sugar goes below 60 but I am not hypoglycemic and no, the alerts are not useful. And yes, the measurements are correct -- I have more than one way to measure blood sugar level.

Hypoglycemic means your body is dependant on sugar, can't get sugar and has adverse reaction to it.

My body can't get sugar, true, but is not dependant on it (fat adapted) and I have no reaction to it.

As I have not eaten any carbs for about two months any notion of hypoglycemia due to not eating sugar is a bit meaningless.

I know people who get much, much lower blood sugar levels and feel fine. The levels they get would (below 40? below 30?) would be lethal to "normal" person, if sugar addiction can be called normal at all. But they all feel fine and are probably healthier than most.

I put CGM on my arm to learn how my blood sugar levels look when on my diet and then what happens when I switch carbs back on -- I expect my body to "freak out" a little bit and then stabilise within couple of days and that's what I would like to see in a bit clearer detail using my CGM.

As to driving the prices down... nah, I am not making a dent. These devices are too expensive to use regularly even for me (software devs salary). I will just put a couple of them to learn a bit about myself and then stop when I got what I needed.
The websites I linked above show prices in the $60 range for Freestyle Libre 3.

I have mine by prescription, so I get them through Walgreens and my insurance covers the majority of the cost. So, this isn't a problem for me. But you can get them relatively cheaply.

That sounds tricky. How do you decide where a piece of unique content in a longer text, fits best :-)

Hmm, if it's related to bigger workplaces, then I guess, LinkedIn? If it's applicable to one-person-projects, maybe IndieHackers? Flamebait: Reddit? (Or how do you decide)
It's almost like, in a society, you sometimes give up some of your personal entitlements for the greater good.

It's why you'd also be called entitled for using an elevator for your personal enjoyment, for defecating in a public pool, for playing around in a turnstile or for refusing to get vaccinated during a worldwide pandemic.

Yet, millions of people in every one of these cities manage to live there, often even in the central urban districts, without making anywhere near $100K, let alone $300K. Yes, some of those complaining about the cost of living at these salaries are self absorbed to the point of absurdity and could really just stop spending so much on so many luxurious things, or if they can't forego those, there's the option of, you know, just moving to a cheaper place.
A bunch of reasons (non-exhaustive):

* Much better options for flash storage; it's real easy to buy an extreme high endurance m.2 with the device, vs constantly rolling the dice with a microsd card on a raspberry pi. The APU also has a SATA port and an SD card slot (which they also provide very high endurance SD cards for).

* x86 + coreboot means the device is well understood and open, and will run basically anything you want unmolested. No need to deal with crazy Broadcom firmware.

* High quality Intel Gigabit NICs mean they always "just work" in Linux, and work well.

* Expandable with m.2 pcie cards instead of relying on USB...PC engines will sell you a good vetted 802.11 card that basically just drops into their existing chassis.

* I think all of the APU2s have ECC ram.

* Before the Raspberry Pi 4, the APU2 had significantly more compute power than any prior RPi. I don't own a Raspberry Pi 4, so I have no idea how they stack up.

I've had a bunch of these for years now, and they all run unmolested basic Debian, and I've never seen one of them fail (I've seen an Alix fail, but it was recent and that unit has to be very, very old at this point). Every Raspberry Pi I've ever used has felt like a gamble whether or not it was going to die (I've lost a few, not being abusive to them either). In a router, it's absolutely worth it to know that every time that device powers up, it's going to work.
What makes you think that software companies would do better?
