Americans on HN like to pretend that transit is a magical unicorn fairy dream in other countries, especially Europe.

America has a long way to go, but people who work in this space know that every country has its problems.

There's a passenger rail magazine available at larger American bookstores and sometimes model railroad shops. It covers passenger rail news around the world, and really lays out some of the massive problems that exist in every country.

You cite Crossrail as an example, but Crossrail was notoriously plagued with problems and controversy. It was first labeled a "high priority" 1974. It opened 48 years later.

Britain's train system is so dysfunctional, it's being re-nationalized. Train companies are bailing on their contracts because they can't make money. And the entire country is littered with hundreds of abandoned train station and rail lines that were discontinued, cutting off many towns and villages.

It's also comical that you state that "bulldozing the poor away to build infrastructure" is an American thing, and then turn to China as a shining example. You can't be serious. China has displaced millions of people (bulldozed) because they were in the way of transit projects. If America could employ construction workers for China's meager wages, America would have trains everywhere. Perhaps if it brought back slave labor, like China has, that would work.
My understanding is that outside the US there's not the whole dealership model with it's associated markup as we have here in the US. You still have dealers but buying a car is just picking off a menu of options, pay the same price at every dealership and wait a few weeks for your car.

I got a 2015 Volvo with their "European Pickup" option and even though you went through a US based dealership that was how it worked. Also they didn't "package" options. You didn't need to get some "Cold Weather Package" to just get heated seats for example every option was ala-carte at a fixed price.
I was under the impression that hardware RAID is generally considered unreliable.
It depends on whether your problem maps well to PID, or whether you need to adapt a lot of expert knowledge on a more complex control curve.

How did your story end? You got your money back immediately or it took a while?
Yes stopping crypto shilling spam that that lies to users is the same as banning books, got it.
This wouldn't be so much of a problem if at the same time the amount of results Google gives per search hadn't shrunk to 200 at most.
Ah. I'm lucky to live somewhere where that's not really an issue (in 15 years living here we've had a total of 40 minutes of power outages, according to my UPS logs), so I forget that IS an issue for a lot of people.
The end-of-life problem seems like it could be solved, depending on the specific model.

Many Chromebooks can have coreboot installed (https://mrchromebox.tech/), turning them into regular PCs.

And since Google bought Neverware, a regular PC can be turned into a Chromebook by installing ChromeOS Flex.
XSLT is just XML with pattern matching and no side effects. Lisp-ish in a way

That said XML is like violence, if it’s not solving you problems you need to use more.
I was using "investment" as a catch-all for both speculation and use. As in one "invests" dollars into BC with either the intent of selling it for cash later, or the intent of eventually using it. See "with any significant use" in my second sentence.
Victorian Occupations (1891)
> Most of these answers were not just wrong, but obviously wrong to anyone who had paid attention in class.

Already accounted for per the article.
Hey folks - I worked on this. AMA
That could be true, tbh. The fact that this agreement only mentioned Ford made me wonder if there's a period of exclusivity for the supercharger aspect of it.

Its also possible that Tesla is just opening NACS->CCS via adapter to everyone. Given the mentioned stall counts, it'd at least be limited to V3 stations, though.
Would you prefer that Foo who (let's assume) doesn't know how to solve this in kubernetes would have stayed quiet?
WASIX – WASI Superset
Puerto Rico is amazing in a million ways... Butttt, there is a lot of government corruption and misallocation of funds for infrastructure among other things. There is a burgeoning tech scene and a lot of well educated folks here to do the heavy lifting. The taxes on locals are too high and there is a massive hangover from government pensions of yesteryear.

The amount of grifting that goes on focusing on PR being a 3rd world hellscape for their own views/clicks/etc is insane.
Talking about Math Acceleration is hard
Every Windows release since the dawn of time have been hated up until the next release was made. Windows 7 was hated until Windows 8 was released, then suddenly Windows 7 was great. Except Vista maybe, which was hated no matter what.
I’m not understanding the point you’re trying to make here. An employee will receive minimum wage from their employer if they don’t receive enough tips to exceed it. This is required by law.
If an LED fries out, then the current will change across the other ones. If they're all going through a single current limiting resistor, then the current across the other LEDs will change, potentially frying them all out due to overcurrent scenarios. This is the case for many different areas of PCB design.

Further, all LEDs have different responses to current (as LEDs are non-linear components and thus ohm's law doesn't apply) and thus usually require different current limiting resistors to achieve similar brightness or in some cases color.

Also, switching LEDs on an off will affect the cathode net and anything connected to it, so it'd also affect the other LEDs in parallel depending on which are on and off at any given point.
The author runs a debate league in Florida where judges are recruited from "faith-based leaders." I'd like to see their paradigms. Funny how he doesn't share them for us to compare.
I guess you missed the etc. But the fresh vegetable market is a 3/4 of a trillion dollar industry [1].

This is not true. There is plenty of capacity at night and stations can store capacity at night locally at the charger location, no stress on the grid, for use in the day using batteries which can be scaled up massively if needed. They may not cover the full day, but they can smooth the curve enough to solve the problem you have in mind. And if it’s not enough, again just add more batteries.

Not sure which planet you've been on these past 3 years.

But on mine, the appearance of QR menus has been paired with a disappearance of paper menus, about 50 percent of the time.

It's really quite obnoxious, actually. But that's modern tech for you.
> I miss XP because of its stability

Ah yes, the grand stability of plugging in the wrong USB accessory into the wrong USB port and the computer crashing. Great times :)
"...but with remote you have to poke someone"
This example does not make sense because in both scenarios, in person or remote, you're 'poking' someone (aka disrupting someone) to ask a question.

Also physically schlepping a laptop around to show someone is way more work than a simple screen share....and in either scenario here you're needing to 'carve out time'.
I think Martin Fowler's on record... somewhere... saying that his sites are that sort of thing. XML, XSLT, and a Makefile.
This is a chud "Dropbox is just rsync" attitude.

There's value to some to having networking config centralised like that. It allows things like auto adding certain clients to certain rules/groups automatically.

Not spending time cycling through each server to poke iptables.

Citrus taxonomy is fascinating. Of all the citrus that we have, there are only three "natural" plants: the mandarin, pomelo and citron. Everything else is some cross between these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_taxonomy, in particular, this graphic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_taxonomy#/media/File:Ci...
People with wrong names should be encouraged to change them to something correct.
Psst, the joke is that it's a "comma separated variable" file.
My question is: What of people who have never had chickenpox in the first place, and have never been vaccinated for it? A substantial fraction, though still merely a fraction, of the UK population is in this category. (Back of napkin calculation, more than a million people aged 60+ in the UK.)

If herpes zoster is a causative factor behind Alzheimer's, and if the vaccine merely dampens the viral load (or some such thing) in people who carry it, then people who have never had it -- and have a HZ viral load of zero -- should exhibit a dramatically lower rate of Alzheimer's.
You have to be careful how you read that. The researchers did not find that the shingles vaccine does not protect men (from dementia caused by Alzheimer's). They failed to find statistically significant evidence, in their studied population, that the vaccine protects men.

As the preceding sentence says, this can be plausibly explained by the fact that shingles is more common in women, so whatever protective effect the vaccine has is larger and more measurable.
"say might be true, or it might be false"

So you don't bother to google and check if the Ukraine has a habit of lying too, and prefer to believe anything coming from Kiev only because Russia says the opposite.

The word 'whataboutism' is a form of dishonest debate and used to distract from critique of double standards.

"guess who invented it? russia, of course."

I'd say it was invented during Cold War by some American in search of rhetorical device to distract from their double standards.
It might not be xfs - it could be the hw raid drivers.

I get that the poster wanted to get the word out - but this (for now) only affects opt-in testers; some due diligence is expected.

Additionally, that doesn't change the fact that hn frowns on editorializing titles.
In my experience GPT/Copilot cannot handle difficult programming tasks that have not been addressed before. Moreover, when it comes to utilizing modern technologies that are not covered in the model's training data, they become unusable in my opinion.
Huh? Sex is usually a positive healthwise no? Just being around people, and getting human contact in general.
LLM Functions: Integrating LLM Technology into the Wolfram Language
Nothing I said implies I think education only teaches fact. Obviously I believe the contrary, as evidenced by my comments. As far as education teaching people how to be net-positive members of society, I agree that's what the education we subsidize is intended for, but that doesn't apply to this situation. A mid-level psychology course at a higher learning institution. If you honestly think that the GOAL of that course is to teach children not to cheat, I think you're grossly mistaken. First and foremost by the fact that not all students are "young people". And then by the fact that we have other courses, even in higher learning institutions, that deal with teaching the students ethics. In the other classes, as with all other areas of life, you're just expected to employ the ethics of the society. It's a meta-reinforcement of those lessons, but the reinforcements are not the lessons of the other classes. If a student fails in their ethics classes due to their ethical decisions, that makes sense. If a student fails math with the right answers but the wrong "ethics", that doesn't make sense. Unethically sourced math answers can still provide the solutions to problems. Just ask NASA.

So then, if a professor of an unrelated or tangentially related field takes it upon themselves to make a lesson out of what should be a meta-reinforcement, in a field that they readily admit that they are unprepared to work in or do data analysis for, that is not a reasonable source of ethical education. Especially not when done without prior social experiment approval and safeguards.
The stability only came with Service packs though. Initial XP had terrible security. I remember installing an out of the box xp in early 2000 and without doing anything it was infected by malware within 15 minutes of being put online.
"When a thirsty time traveler gives you the idea for lemonade, make lemons."
Despite the use of the term by out of touch politicians, knowing what is really going on was the original definition of woke as in “stay woke”.
Counterpoint: They have the stability of the US dollar and financial system, protection of the Army, and no Federal taxes.
I don't remember this being the case. Keep in mind driver issues are not XP specific.
Ouch indeed. I've been wondering why it seems to be taking longer than usual for ZFS to build against the new kernel. Guess I'll be on LTS kernels for awhile yet.

For once at least I feel like these changes aren't just the Linux devs breaking ZFS for funsies.
Thanks for confirming it works in Orion too, that nudged me to try it.
It's a gotcha because it looks wrong. The surface syntax looks like a tag, which prompts the thought "class". You've got to have additional information to know that's not what's needed.
They generally use fuzzy logic to better drive various components with minimal BOM. You can easily encode a bunch of rules from expert on best decisions given certain conditions (for example for motor control for best efficiency, or heating, etc) and use fuzzy logic to switch between modes smoothly.

I remember reading about dedicated fuzzy logic circuits which essentially gave you simple fuzzy state machine programmed with cheap ROM, and it was all you needed instead of MCU for many tasks.

In a way cheap powerful MCU are biggest killers of the technique.
I had other things going on in my life that meant I couldn’t do what I needed to do in a reasonable amount of time - and unfortunately just got screwed.

I couldn’t charge back on the card without a police report during a specific time window (30 days). Filing it after that might have resulted in some action, but I wouldn’t likely get my money back.

I suspect it was the store manager, and I wasn’t the first one. But I had no real evidence, just a pattern of shifty behavior and lies.

They’d conveniently avoided having cameras in the areas to document what actually happened, and my pickup code had been used to pick it up, so definitely an inside job. I had video evidence I was at home when the supposed pickup happened, but that was it.

So the thief won.
Get it anyway, you don't want shingles.
How the Triads (Hong Kong Mafia) Work – Insider [video]
As an EV owner with home charging, fast charging cost pretty much doesn't matter. The only time I ever use a supercharger is when I'm on a road trip, which happens just a few times a year. The rest of the time, I schedule charging at home for off peak hours. My charging stats for the year from the Tesla app are 96% home, 4% supercharger.

What does matter more than price to me is the speed of the fast charging experience when I'm on a road trip. Tesla is not perfect -- I've been to chargers located in mall parking lots, which are an absolute nightmare in the holiday shopping season. I've been to chargers in airport parking garages, where you need to pay to enter the garage, etc. Most of Tesla's newer locations are better than this (like the ones at Sheetz gas stations just off the highway). But whats a real nightmare for me (and which has never happened to me with Tesla) is most of the chargers being down, or running at severely degraded speeds. This DOES happen with EA. So after hearing terrible charging experiences from friends with CCS cars, I'm pretty much tied to the Tesla supercharger network.
Can you explain how?

If someone is paid to dig holes and fill them up right after, the country is not any wealthier even though GDP is increased, in fact slightly less wealthy because of wear and tear on the shovel/excavator.
How would I know? I know because if such a competitor existed, you would have mentioned them by name.
Glad to see we're back to being OK with corporate cronyism.
Glassdoor encourages employees to review their company, then tells the employer (point 4) to take the employee to court?
It's a wonder Glassdoor don't get themselves sued with that policy.
This is one of the reasons I was always a bit annoyed with WhatWG splintering from w3c. If we had bitten the bullet 20 years ago and stuck with xhtml then I think we would be significantly closer to people using structured formats for web documents by default. HTML being loosely structured was a conscious choice - not a mistake.

I'm also surprised that TypeScript finally managed to sway people. I would bet a large number of people here won't even remember the whole ES4/ES5 debacle. There was a time when types (and much more) were being added to ECMA Script proper through the standards process before Yahoo and others killed it.
> Experienced people who really have the question, understand XY just fine and start off with the context, but are happy to provide more; experienced people who say they are offended at common assumptions of XY tend to be in complete denial about legitimate cases of XY.

That's not how it works on Stackoverflow and similar sites. Here's what happens when an experienced person who really does have the question, understands XY just fine, provides context, and is willing and able to provide more context is needed tries to get an answer on Stackoverflow.

1. They do a search and find that people have asked X before on Stackoverflow.

2. They read those questions and answers and find that in all of them the answerers decided that it was an XY problem and answered Y. Maybe the answers were right or maybe they were wrong, but in either case nobody answered X.

3. They post a new question asking X, explaining that the existing questions and answers do not apply because the person actually needs X and provides sufficient context to show this.

4. The question quickly gets closed as a duplicate of one or more of the others.
File Structures: An Object-Oriented Approach with C++ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/614858.File_Structures
My advice is simple: write code. Implement toy systems that use these things, and begin exploring how they work and their inherent trade offs. Don't read about it, do it: practical learning is always 1000x as valuable.

Books can't get you very far. All they're really good for is informing that exploration.
When you begin to interrogate the origins and history of everyday things, you’ll quickly notice how “New” and tailored to extremely modern humanity it is.

Broccoli for example is only about 2000 years old via an aggressive selective breeding of mustard/brassica, and no modern grain genetics are more than a few thousand years old with the last known distinct genetics being only 12000 years old.

Hi. I see no information about a privacy policy, so I'm asking directly: Who are you and how do we know we can trust this extension?

Why are the last reviews from 2012 to 2014?

I'm asking, because people posting tools here usually have a link to a GitHub profile and I can't find any information on who created this extension. Something like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/georgify-plus/epgj...

Other than that, thanks for this tool. Apparently it only requests access to HN, so it should be safe.

Setting aside the historical veracity of this nonsense, are you suggesting that it was appropriate for US citizens to pay the price of that decision because of their ancestry? What is wrong with you?
You also have to keep in mind the mood of nation after this attack. The USA lost it's invincibility. At that point in time was by no means assured that the allies would win the war. In fact, we were losing it.
XSLT has a steep learning curve and it’s extremely verbose. But my main problem with it is that (as far as I know) XHTML isn’t being updated alongside the current HTML spec (with semantic elements).

Related: I’ll admit that I used to use XSLT for my static site generators [1] and now I’ve switched to string interpolation (with conservative escaping as the default) [2]. Edit: In my case, the goal was to simplify and reduce dependencies.

Gastropod has a great episode if you're into this kind of thing:

https://gastropod.com/museums-mafia-secret-history-citrus/

"A slice of lime in your cocktail, a lunchbox clementine, or a glass of OJ at breakfast: citrus is so common today that most of us have at least one lurking on the kitchen counter or in the back of the fridge. But don't be fooled: not only were these fruits so precious that they inspired both museums and the Mafia, they are also under attack by an incurable immune disease that is decimating citrus harvests around the world. Join us on a historical and scientific adventure, starting with a visit to the ark of citrus—a magical grove in California that contains hundreds of varieties you've never heard of, from the rose-scented yellow goo of a bael fruit to the Pop Rocks-sensation of a caviar lime. You'll see that lemon you're about to squeeze in a whole new light."

Cicada: Private On-Chain Voting Using Time-Lock Puzzles
Cicada is a new, open-source Solidity library designed for private on-chain voting on Ethereum. This system leverages time-lock puzzles and zk proofs to maintain voting privacy. Current on-chain voting systems are vulnerable to manipulation due to lack of privacy, but Cicada aims to mitigate this risk by offering running tally privacy, ensuring vote counts remain confidential until the voting period concludes. The tool also provides a framework that can be combined with anonymous voter eligibility protocols to enhance ballot privacy.
