A lot of gas stations have differently-sized nozzles for regular gasoline and diesel, and the fueling opening in the car is sized so that a diesel nozzle does not fit in a gasoline car. They should do something similar for e-fuel so people don't "accidentally" fuel them with classical fuel.

Migrants to the UK have stayed the same if not increased. It's a misconception they've fallen after brexit.

India is the biggest source of our migrants, specially in London.

I'm pro-migration and immigration but the picture painted by our Government puts all the blame on immigrants fleeing war-torn countries.

Heck I met someone on the train who'd came in via Heathrow and he said the process of getting his visa in India was easier than its ever been for him.

> Flash was the language of web art. I don't know what is the new language for that anymore

P5, which while excellent and better than flash for many reasons it’s not the same thing.

The true beauty of flash was seeing the cool games and animations online a kid could pirate a copy of flash and then the way the tech worked it lulled you in with simple animation tools but you were forced to interact with code to control the play state.

This meant a percentage dug deeper and could eventually make games and more advanced things.
This is really cool!

The 5-10 years away comment hit quite close to home and it's sad that it's a reality for a lot of people.
A right click alters a cell, it's really cool to watch the destruction that altering 1 cell can cause. The only issue is it becomes super slow due to all the irregularities requiring way more computation.
That's a nice theory, now let's look into something called CAN bus load - i.e. there is limited amount of CAN messages which you can ram onto a bus. So adding multiple CAN messages to transfer same piece of information will drastically reduce throughput of the system and make it unusable.
Yeah.

I'm a bit wary I'd get lumped in with the crypto gang. A lot of what I'm doing with the search engine is fairly out there in terms of pushing the hardware in unusual ways.

It would also suck if there ever was a problem. The full state of the search engine is about 1 Tb of data. It's not easy to just start up somewhere else if it vanished.
Electron is better if your only metric to evaluate quality is "can I use it in my proprietary product?".

I work in a company that uses electron. The amount of time the UI guys spend to reimplement things that are already in Qt is incredible (for example a portable tray icon, menus, tabbing).

Yes we are saving money on license (but spending probably much more on developers reimplementing things).

> Who's starting new projects in Qt?

People who want portability and are aware that not everybody has 32GB of RAM like their overly expensive developer machine?

People that do not feel like reimplementing things that have existed for ages is fun?

People who do open source and do not have to pay for a license, and thus have no reason to "save money" and use electron?
Why bring Electron? Qt doesn't look exactly native, and it is a bit slower than native, but Electron doesn't look native at all and is much slower.

Qt is kind of a middle ground between low level / native frameworks and web based interfaces like Electron.

And in the majority of the cases, it doesn't cost money. The open source version is LGPL, which means you can use it for free in proprietary software as long as you allow the user to modify the Qt library you are using (usually, in means dynamic linking).
They certainly lost me. I'd rather write Bash than fool around with Docker. IMO "just Dockerize it!" is a smell.
New spare parts can begin unprogrammed, and then program themselves on first use. This first use wouldn't be secure (it would be vulnerable to MITM attacks), but I believe that would be acceptable to the threat model of a thief attacking a parked car.

Reprogramming of 2nd hand components to a different vehicle might also be possible, but using some procedure which is hard to do from outside the car. For example, short two pins on the back of the lock.

>runs at about 31mpg, which is 13.2 km/l or 15.3 km/kg

The measurements outside North America are reciprocal, e.g. 7.7L/100km (which is awfully inefficient for a diesel, normally it should be around 5L)

So converting gallon to liter, and mile to kilometer is the wrong way to present it.

As for the efficiency in general - of course electric engines have a very high efficiency (in the 90s), unlikely diesel which can barely hit 35%.
Unfortunately, touchpad scrolling on this specific website is basically unusable for what I believe is a very large fraction of laptop users because:

(a) it does scrolljacking, which cannot be done well on the web (it doesn’t expose the right primitives) so sites should never do it¹ but find some other way;

(b) its scrolljacking implementation is considerably worse than is possible; and

(c) it intercepts all scrolling, rather than leaving horizontal scrolling alone and only redirecting vertical scrolling.

Fortunately, I browse the web with JavaScript disabled by default, so I’m fine other than when I’m checking this out!

(I noted this a couple of years back in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27758336, and I don’t think the site’s implementation has changed at all since then; Firefox exhibits the same symptoms, Chromium has changed to behave somewhat more like Firefox now.)

—⁂—

¹ Sites, as distinct from apps; there are a few sorts of apps that can’t avoid it and must do the best they can, e.g. maps; incidentally, Google Maps has the only consistently-decent scrolljacking implementation for web-based maps that I’ve ever found.

From ‘Blame’ to ‘Credits’: Programmers and Their Unique Love-Hate Relationship
I'm not a RISC-V expert, primarily relying on open-source firmware community knowledge and the opinion of such figures as Ron Minnich, but AFAIK, most firmware for production RISC-V deployments is closed-source, so we can't say if vendors use OpenSBI implementation or some modified version for their malicious purposes. If I need to be corrected, please point me to products that state how they transparently use SBI. There is evidence of transparent use of SMM in coreboot. SBI is not the only RISC-V TEE. There are also other concepts, like MultiZone [1] and PMP-based Keystone [2], advertised as trusted execution environments

The openness of specification only matters a little here - UEFI specification about management mode is also open. But IBVs screwed us many times [3] by implementing low-quality SMIs that could elevate privileges, and the spec does not guarantee that implementers follow it. Lack of tooling makes compliance difficult - it slowly changes with various startups seeing that as an opportunity (e.g., Binarly, Eclypsium?).

My point is that SMM as TEE is not a unique x86 feature, and other significant architectures have similar mechanisms. OS has a means of figuring out that it was in SMI, so it is not entirely hidden but still has superpowers. In the CNC world SMI latency is measured from OS [4].

Trusted execution environments are hammers and can be used for a good purpose in a transparent way and for malicious purposes. Further typically depends on the trustworthiness of mechanisms implemented and used by vendors, but thus keep the fact that TEEs and peripheral MCUs are everywhere, which may lead to the extended attack surface.

Why do we see those TEEs, peripheral MCUs, everywhere? I like the explanation in this lecture [5]. No architecture can quickly fix that problem.

one of the founders here. This is helpful to know! we need to work on clarifying positioning it seems.

The idea is to facilitate ci/cd for Terraform without a dedicated ci/cd stack. Tools like Atlantis or Spacelift are effectively alternative CI systems with compute, orchestration, UI for logs etc. Why not reuse the infrastructure of your existing CI system for that? So that terraform binary runs in managed compute just like any other ci/cd job. To achieve that we've built a thin wrapper atop terraform that reads config from your repo and manages locks in your cloud account. This way you don't need any manual trickery to set up ci/cd for terraform; it's just a drop-in Github Action.

As I had to explain to the execs at a lab on a chip startup I was helping to put together, you're generating the proposition of what the data might be that still needs to be qualified with physical testing, and not actual data.

The point isn't necessarily to equal or beat kerosene in terms of weight and range, but rather to be good enough that electric aircraft are usable for many or most use cases.

Planes tend to be very expensive to operate, due to maintenance and fuel costs. Some people would be happy to trade range for dramatically lower operating costs.

Thanks for your post.

Something I think about a lot is that fundamentally people don't treat physical activity and their diet as seriously as they would if it were really a priority. I include myself in that even as someone who works out often.

A software developer might sit in a chair for 8 hours a day on mental pursuits. But on the main page of HN, there's a "15 minute stretching routine" for people to do to help with pains. Not so they can be fit mind, so that they can manage sitting in that chair.

The whole mindset is bonkers. If you manage to get the balance of physical to mental to even be 20%/80%, hell let's do 10%/90%, and you treat your diet even 50% as well as you treat your financial budget, you will almost certainly be in fantastic shape compared to most of your peer group.

For a direct conversion you could just look at the Alpha Electro

324 nmi range for the regular variant. Around 65 nmi for the electric version.

This is with older batteries, probably with very bad pack-level energy density. The battery pack can even be swapped. Great to avoid having to wait for charging, but probably terrible for weight.

If you design the aircraft for electric flight from the ground up (see Maxwell X-57 for how you could do that), with a structural battery pack, and with 300-500wh/kg batteries, I'm willing to bet a 2-5 times increase in range is viable.

Inside the living room was a bright, colourful room with a big glass-walled window overlooking the landscape. He had been exploring the grounds, admiring the flowers and trees. Suddenly, the curtains were pulled back, the bed was made, and the room was in a festive mood. The boy knew that a magical evening awaited him.
Your proposal seems to me to put socio-economic problems on the back of individuals. Imagine what they would have to do. For every line of code they would have you predict all the socio-economic consequences. I rather think such problems should be solved politically.

Charging goes like this:

- AC converted to DC (with power factor correction, usually means AC stepped up 1st)
- DC converted back to AC (but higher voltage) and MUCH higher frequency
- AC transformed to lower AC voltage (still higher frequence)
- AC rectified to DC (filtered and stabilized), DC voltage lower

If there is DC, the very 1st part can be omitted.

It's not going great. I was made redundant a month ago. I've been in software almost 12 years and this is the first time I've been unemployed. I knew the search would be tough but I didn't think I'd still be looking a month later.

I've done a lot of phone screens, first interviews, and coding tests plus a few second rounds. I've gotten the whole range of responses: ghosted, received useful feedback, and feedback that makes me doubt the interviewers were paying attention at all.

I don't know if it's just the redundancy vs. deciding to search while employed or the general mood in the industry but it feels a lot tougher this time. I'm also the main breadwinner for an immigrant family in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I've got a bit of runway left but I hope I find something soon. Good luck to all of us!

LLMs in general have a tendency to go along whatever you say.

Well, isn't it then peoples choice to do that? Or do you instead argue for a ban of EVs? I don't get this point.

I've never heard an electric car making more noise than the road noise. Which of course is annoying in itself going at high speeds, but still less than an ICE. What you're describing is absolutely not something of the ordinary. ICEs revving their engine in residential streets, however...
The same used to be true of the Romanian Principalities until the middle of the 19th century, when we switched to Latin alphabet in order to underline our Romance-language roots and to culturally distance ourselves from the expanding Tsarist Empire.

Of course, the Soviet Republic of Moldova used the Cyrillic writing for Romanian throughout most of its existence, the people over there switching to Latin alphabet in the dying days of the Soviet Union was a prelude to their independence (I have two books in Romanian and using Latin alphabet published in the Soviet Republic of Moldova towards the end of the ‘80s - 1990, priced in rubles and all, really cool).

Thanks for the link, that's is so cool! Wikipedia says it was decommissioned "due to the test site's bad weather" (PNW). I guess one benefit of doing this on the moon is no weather, or atmosphere at all to contend with. You essentially build an optical space telescope that only gets to look wherever the moon happens to be pointing. I suppose lower gravity also means that the mirror could theoretically be made much larger, since it weighs less and therefore conventional support structures and materials can go a lot farther.
