Yep, I switched from Tesla to BMW EV and am happy, but I don't road-trip much & can charge at home.

The problem with EA (and CCS networks in US in general) - 10x more likely to encounter a broken stall, and that stall will be at a station with 1/2 to 1/3 the stalls of a typical Tesla station, and if the whole station is out.. the next station is probably 2-3x as far as the next Tesla station would have been.

I find EA roadtrip planning to be more nerve wracking than Tesla was 5 years ago, and Tesla continues to build more stations at a rapid pace... so the lead is not closing.
I do have a home charger, but I also take more road trips in the Tesla than I do in my ICE car because the Tesla is more comfortable. The Tesla is quieter, the seats are better, and with occasional use of autopilot I can stretch my arms and legs while driving. In addition, if I get sleepy I just pull over and take a nap in the back (Model Y here) in air-conditioned comfort. Can't do that in an ICE car without running the engine and generating CO.

Trips do take a bit longer but only because refueling typically takes 20 minutes rather than 10. It's a non-issue. There's no "make it work": The Tesla is an easier road trip car for me than my Audi, full stop.
I think this it. In Michigan public schools at least there are mandatory language courses for 2 years but these do not get most people anywhere close to fluency. Apparently I'm qualified enough to get a 4 on AP German but at my peak I could only get about 60% of your typical Der Spiegel headline. Everyone I know that knows another language at at least roughly a C1 level knows it because of family. But I imagine there are some people with tutors or better schools who start early with a language and probably end up pretty good at it.
Right, and to those who might think "hey 90% isn't so bad".

Imagine a light switch or sink faucet working "90% of the time".

Or the gas pump working "90% of the time", knowing that there are no other pumps in a 30 mile radius.
>it doesn't seem to help them at all in day to day communications with people in other languages.

Humanities sorts are terrible at communicating with those who are not humanities sorts, just as most doctors and lawyers are terrible at communicating their specialties to the laymen. I am not talking about studying linguistics to the ends of getting a degree in it but in a more pragmatic sense, if you want to learn a bunch of languages than it is very useful to learn what all those languages have in common so you do not have to relearn the same thing in new contexts, you just learn the contexts.

>Language and music have a lot in common in that respect, it's perfectly possible to be proficient at either without having a very deep understanding of the theory as long as you are willing to put in the hours

They do but becoming proficient is different than success. Satie and Bukowski were proficient but not at all ignorant but plenty have success while being ignorant. It is that pragmatism thing again, what are your goals, learning music theory will probably not help much if you want to become a success in a popular music genera but it could be very useful if you want to become a success across genres. Where do you want to shift the ignorance and the knowledge? what will be of most use to your goals.

What percentage of what sections/components of the kernel are covered by some kind of CI/CD-equivalent test?

Compile it, load it into qemu, do a sanity check... Obviously that's useless for drivers.

The remark was written in a way that doesn't inspire much confidence? lol I'm just it's just being silly but I also know that it isn't like a normal codebase where you strive for 95% unit test coverage or whatever.
It will be interesting. Discretionary funds being spent on virtual hats, instead of 'granny bait' catalogs. eBooks instead of physical books (bigger text for aging eyes!). Subscription services instead of vinyl records and VHS tapes. More interesting is if this will hit the property market, as will less physical stuff you need less space. My parents had to have a big house for all their stuff. I recently retired and and most of my stuff is in boxes in a shed awaiting sorting and donation to charity, the physical books I will never read, the DVDs I will never watch, the CDs I will never play, the obsolete electronics.

I doubt that any non-toy anti-cheat system can run on WINE and not notice that something isn't quite right.
The proposition that people think Duolingo is the only option is absurd.

Duolingo is slower than other methods, and it only progresses through the basics of any language. It only covers the fundamentals of some languages. Fluency necessitates other mediums, and this is obvious to any user. Nobody thinks they’re fluent after Duolingo. Duolingo covers the hardest part, the beginning, of learning a language.

If at this point you say that you have met Duolingo-ers who claim fluency (but lack it) then we circle back around to the top-level comment. It’s your word against mine, and I say there’s no way you know many people who have spent the hundreds of hours required to learn a language. 10 years of daily lessons for an English speaker just to learn Spanish. (Spanish is the only Duolingo course that holds a candle for any level of fluency.)

The point is that nobody would adopt Duolingo when they needed to speak well quickly. Its target audience is people who casually want to learn a language and don’t have the motivation to use better tools. These people effectively have no other option, and shitting on the only thing that works for them makes you a gatekeeper and a snob.
OP's point though. The YouTube comments used to be an absolute joke and disaster. I'm sure it came at the cost of some non-insignificant revenue and engagement but there's a model where it works, that Twitter could emulate perhaps (if they cared).

Vouched as this seems like a question others who use Stripe could sort out.

As little as I know about check outs, (I know nothing,) I'm unsure why a public key would be used to pipe the request to Stripe? Surely any request to a third party needs an additional security measure apart from being merely being logged into the site.

Weirdly, initializer indentation is controlled by `ContinuationIndentWidth` rather than by `IndentWidth`. That one I would agree is a clang-format bug, or a mistaken policy decision.

I haven't myself worked on a tabbed code base during clang-format's existence. You might want to look at Linux's settings for ideas, although they clearly differ from your preferences in other ways. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...

A fifth is enough to kill a person if they drank it fairly quickly.

Also I’ve never heard of someone addicted to psychedelics. I’m starting to think you may not know what you are talking about and are just being judgmental.
I’m 61, and play a fair bit. Usually, it’s when I need a break from coding.

However, it’s definitely a “side gig,” for me. I don’t have a console, or a PC gaming rig. I’m also not into MP gaming. I don’t like being fragged by a 15-year-old kid, yelling physically impossible suggestions at me.

Just my Mac, and my iPad, with a couple of rather old games.
That depends on the game. Does it need location for something like Pokemon Go? Does it want to access your contacts so you can find them in the game? Microphone for voice chat?

In some cases those can be justified, but that doesn't work in a sandbox that prohibits them.

> The main benefit of knowing multiple languages is eavesdropping on people in the street speaking their language, but that's about it.

Hah, that's the least of benefits IMO. I'm not sure if you have no interest in the following or just forgot them, but these are things I enjoy: literature in the native language, comparing words and idioms and understanding how different languages influence each other and also how different cultures led to the creation of certain idioms. Conversations with people in their native tongue when I travel and the stories, adventures, and knowledge that unlocks.

To anyone reading this who only speaks English, while I agree with this person and the study that I don't necessarily feel smarter, learning another language is absolutely worth it for the advantages I stated above. My life is more rich because of it.
> If the federal government isn’t arresting folks in legal states,

They are, though, and enough that there are circuit court cases as recently as last year addressing the limitation of the funding prohibition Congress has established since 2015 on federal interference with state-legal medical marijuana programs.
> hacker news just coffee shops and bars

Ok, I really follow you on the rest and the overall point.

But this one … hacker news is how : delicio.us/Reddit/digg/slashdot used to be, before the network effect.

I rarely talk about BRNF at bars and I don’t use drugs while reading HN.
Sure this works for simple stuff like this.

It does not work when one state wants to keep slavery legal.

Like everything, a balance needs to be made.
One thing that comes to mind is function application, which begets recursion. This is the last quarter of the example program's encoding, while the example TM has enough space for 6 states and no concept of a "goto" or "jmp" that would simulate recursion.
Completely agree with you, I have the same experience, just that instead of French, it's Spanish for me. In French I am not fluent, but it still adds up to the mess.

p.s. adrenalin from IRC?
The problem I described was the opposite, actually: We often couldn’t tell what upper management wanted or was upset about because the manager was too “nice” to communicate it. We had multiple situations where something we built was unsatisfying to upper management for some reason, but couldn’t address it because the manager was avoiding negative communication or anything resembling confrontation.

Getting it out in the open so we could at least do something about it would have been better.
YouTube is like 10% of Alphabets profits and there are thousands of creators relying on it for a living. Anecdotal but the creators I follow all talk about YouTube giving them a much better monetization strategy than any other platform. So I don't think this will be any time soon

I've experienced this unique "dread" twice. Once when I was around the same age as in your story, but I had a fever. I saw a dot moving from one corner of the ceiling to the opposite corner, and somehow I knew that if it got there, the world would end. Not in a dreamy way - I knew.

The second time I experienced it was during a weed "overdose". I will never do edibles again, nor will I ever do any stronger psychedelics. These two times were among the worst of my life.

This is also why I have a strong reaction when people are kind of dismissive of bad drug experiences. It was very much like a kind of torture.
...and thus, the next round of the cat-and-mouse game begins.

Things like this will only make WINE's own compatibility and indistinguishability from Windows increase, so it's not all bad.
Yeah, just define a 1-bit type of the values {0, MAX}, for some very large number MAX. And now we‘ve represented a very large number with a 1-bit value!
I am looking from the point of view of physics. Transit runs buses and trains, each making frequent stops to load/unload passengers, and, busses, at least, obey the same traffic laws the cars have to obey, e.g. they cannot run red lights or drive against traffic on a one way street. Even not counting the suboptimal route, a bus will always be slower than a car, it's just physics. Trains might travel faster since they don't use roads but their routes are even less optimal because the railroad is a giant nuisance on top of being expensive so you are likely to spend more time getting to/from a station than you can win on a faster travel.

But I see that your suggestion is actually to degrade the infrastructure to the point that you need to spend a lot of time to park. That's quite an "improvement".
> Caveat is Congress enjoined the DOJ from enforcing against medical marijuana use. Get a medical card (suuuuuuuper easy) and you’ve derisked

Caveat to the caveat is that DOJ keeps pushing the limit on the medical marijuana prosecution prohibition, and that in California (and the rest of the Ninth Circuit), the controlling case law is that the prohibition only applies to strict compliance with state medical use rules, and that even minor technical violations (even in states that also allow non-medical use) allows federal prosecution (the First Circuit last year established a slightly different rule).

Nothing inherently wrong with that line of text besides the KKK hashtag (a dead organization). All cultures should stand up for themselves, no? The average nationalist Jew in Israel says things much more extreme.
This study seems to focus on acquired languages and ignores mulitple languages learned in childhood. As someone who grew up speaking three languages (German, Hebrew and English) I feel as if this has expanded my ability to conceptualize and form abstractions because I know "what it is like" to think natively in languages with different vocabularies and syntactic structures. That comes naturally with no effort when you're young, but is nearly impossible to acquire later in life.
Companies usually do focus groups for this kind of thing. And that kind of research usually involves a consent form and a research firm independent of the company...

Mixing all these metaphors isn't helping. It's like you're flailing for some justification. You act like you're sure you're in the right, but you keep fighting with people. You could just move on without digging any deeper. It's long past obvious your arguments aren't persuasive. This isn't the behavior of someone who's genuinely that confident.

You might not think a thread deep in HN matters, but I will remember it if any teacher friends mention your app.
I use LLMs in much the same way, but lately I have been wondering how good I will continue to be at thinking, verifying, or communicating in code, if I stop writing as much of it. I suppose time will tell...
There is a large increase in mental health admissions in young people, including those put under medication to battle depression. There is also a larger increase in youth suicides, some at ages which baffle me that they can be so young.

When times get tough on people or a wider generation, where the future looks bleak due to costs of living, education requirements and competition with peers.

It would make sense to me (with no evidence) that people start to hold onto a faith or a higher power to help them deal with these challenges. The harsh realities of life for some people are hard to deal with.
The linked study shows the opposite. Bilingual cohort was twice as likely to be low socioeconomic status. This is likely dominated by lower income immigrants.
My YouTube subscription is worth 2x what I pay for Netflix and recently costs half as much. I'm happy YouTube figured out their algorithm.
The weak argument in favour was the ability to apply two (or more) linguistic models to rationalisations about things, and potentially uncover more in the distinctions between them. So on the abstraction/synthesis side of things.
This sounds like the words of an a good manager, simply because of the healthy amount of self-doubt. It’s a strange status quo that management is something you’re expected to handle simply from experience as an IC, which is absolutely not a guarantee. The predictable result is that only those with great mentors or willing to self-learn the hard way actually become good, after much trial and error. It’s unfortunate and borderline insulting to genuinely good leaders to say that popularity, company loyalty and/or domain experience is enough. So we end up with what we select for.

Otoh, what ICs often overlook is that managers often lack the hard and soft power to manage effectively, which of course is a leadership problem in itself. I’ve had well-meaning managers who still were bad for me because they didn’t have enough influence or respect in the greater org. Just like with engineering, even the best can’t do a great job if they are unable to access the right tools.

Gaps do exist but you also mentioned camping. For me camping means a national or state park that has RV campsites. I plug in the car at such a site and wake up to a fully-charged car.

If you prefer more primitive camp sites this isn't an option but for some kinds of camping an EV is kind of ideal.

Twitter's recently rolled out their ad revenue sharing arrangement and it's a 20% margin (under $50k is 3%) vs YouTube's 45%. Maybe low balling the early days to build traction? Also people probably aren't consuming 1 person's Twitter the way they consume Youtube channels.

“legal” and “de jure” are synonyms.

Something that is true de facto is true in effect despite not being true legally.

Why do you think no one would adopt Duolingo to speak well quickly? Because that's definitely not the case.

I am telling you that I personally know many people (10+), who said "I saw that you can use this Duolingo app to become fluent in French/Spanish/Japanese, and all it takes is 15 minutes a day! That's perfect!" Because they saw it in the advertising. They did not look up how many years that would take, they did not grasp the fact that they are being gamified, they did not grasp the fact that they were learning in a slow and inefficient way, and they were 100% excited to learn a language quickly and painlessly entirely because of Duolingo's promises. And cost ("why would i pay hundreds of dollars for a course when Duolingo is free!").

So yeah, Duolingo's marketing definitely makes it seem like becoming fluent is "easy" if you use their app. And it isn't. That doesn't make it useless, that doesn't mean it's a waste of time if it helps you learn things about the language or move on to a different program.

I am not "shitting" on anyone, I'm pointing out a pretty obvious marketing angle by Duolingo that does dupe people, and I really don't see how that's gatekeeping.
My daughter recently had an unplanned "remote learning" day because of snow.

One of my daughters assignments required her to log into an app. At school they do so by scanning a QR code they keep in the classroom. The teacher sent a picture of the QR code.

I found myself in the hilariously absurd situation of needing my laptop to scan a QR code it was displaying on its own screen. I took a picture with my phone and then presented the QR back to the computer.

Your comment reminded me of this.
To me second language added ability to express something better. I also noticed that depending on a subject I subconsciously pick one or another language when thinking about the subject. Perhaps that's not what measured in this paper, but it is certainly an advantage for me.
That's still equivalent to an martian atmosphere above.
Thanks to the author.

This resonated with me.

It was helpful to see here a couple of the same issues I grappled with (to know "I'm not crazy"): feedback loops, prioritization / importance, communication.

On the topic of the dreaded Micro-Management, I read recently somewhere, "better to micro-manage than to not manage at all". That also resonated.
