Following getting laid off in June of '09, I did my "great unemployed road trip".

Starting from SF... Seattle; Pacific City, OR; (up the coast) Astoria, OR; (down the coast) Bandon, OR; Lassen, CA; Crescent City, CA; Astoria, OR; Pendleton, OR; Mt. Hood (Romana Falls); Forks, WA; Mt. Rainier; Seattle; Banff, AB; Waterton, AB; Glacier NP; Yellowstone NP; Salt Lake City, UT; Vernal, UT; Moab, UT; Denver, CO; Taos, NM; Aspen, CO (car broke - got a new one in Glenwood Springs); Lake City, CO; Steamboat Springs, CO; Devils Tower; Mitchel, SD; and then to family.

This lasted from June through October and had two oil changes on the way... and a new car (the old car was repaired and my family took the train out to pick it up and drive it back - just that I wasn't going to sit in Glenwood Springs for a week while the part was ordered).

It was just me, my camping equipment (went camping in some locations), and my cameras.

No responsibilities, no job, no apartment, no dependents.

I'm glad I did it then - I was younger and had the energy / endurance to do long days of driving and/or hiking with a heavy pack. I wouldn't have quite the same freedom now (house and cat) or endurance (I did a too long day returning from the eclipse in '17 that would have been OK a decade earlier).
specifically, they are one of the coolest features in postgres. Have you ever wanted to pretend that a CSV (or your filesystem or google) or basically anything else was a SQL database? With a couple hundred lines of code, you can do this. The performance won't be great, but it's ridiculously flexible.

Er, what's wrong with command+tilde exactly? command+tab and command+tilde seem like they'd combo to solve the author's issues pretty completely.

That said, I have 5 workspaces bound to command+1 through command+5 that I flip through on my macs, and that works pretty well. Honestly I find working on a Windows machine to be much worse for multitasking due to its lack of that functionality.

I also used to use Divvy with some specific keybinds to organize my windows, but Divvy is no longer supported and I haven't yet found a tool that makes it easy to replicate that functionality quite the way I liked it.
I like your self-awareness.
To start ask what is populism? From Google:

> a political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups.

I find the more educated you are (read: elite) the less you like populism. Funny that.
I'm not sure of your math here.

Assuming Google is accurate and the average American is similar to the average Canadian.

> The average American uses over 100 gallons of water per day

100 gallons/day * 365 days * 3.78 liters/gallon = 137,930 liters

Isn't that just 8 or 9 people's drinking water?

If you disagree with that, work backwards from your answer.

950,000 liters saved divided by 40,000 = 23.75 liters per year? That seems too low.

This does not even make sense, even beyond the weird strawman. If the "Tesla fans" think the superchargers are their most competitive advantage... Why would they want other automakers to adopt it?
No, my paycheck is why I show up at all, it's table stakes. Carrots are things that show I'm appreciated, and the bare fucking minimum to keep me there isn't a show of appreciation.
Julius Caesar demonstrated some characteristics that could be associated with narcissism. He had a strong desire for power, a high level of ambition, and a considerable concern with his public image. We should also take into consideration that these traits were common among Roman political figures and military leaders of the time.

Additionally, many of our understandings about Caesar's personality and actions come from historical accounts, some of which were written by his contemporaries who had their own political agendas, and others were written long after his death. Therefore, these accounts may not provide a completely accurate or unbiased view of his personality.

I'd like to note that the moral and ethical standards for the upper echelons of Roman society was very different than today's western standards. Different traits were championed. For example, "De Bello Gallico" (On the Gallic War,) is not a neutral historical account; it was written by Caesar for a Roman audience and aimed to defend and promote his actions. His conquest of Gaul would amount to genocide in a modern context but the Roman Public (the common people), at the time didn't seem to mind too much and thought his actions heroic.

Implying it had ever not been terrible compared to other options
Well C# is strongly typed so that’s punted to the CLR type system (assuming you’re not using raw sql to insert values via other means/frontends) - but it isn’t too hard to forcibly to cast a raw int to an enum in C# which doesn’t actually contain a definition with that integral value (unlike in even stronger typed languages eg in rust where it’s a lot more work).

I “manually” add a check constraint (via EF, so it’s not so much manual as it is “remember to copy and paste this in your db.cs) to assert the value is greater than or equal to zero and less than the number of inhabitants in the enum, but this fails if you manually code the enum values (eg for flags, legacy interop, etc).
NACS doesn't have a standard for vehicle-to-home (or vehicle-to-grid) charging. When they opened up the standard, Tesla said that it was allowed, but they didn't specify any standard way to do it. So it might happen, but there's potential for incompatibilities between car manufacturers and charging systems.
I see it differently: I'm running it just because of their IoT solution. Offline, super long range (DECT ULE) and being updated for 10 years. The latter amazing, there is other vendor coming even close. That alone is reason enough to have (self owned) Fritzbox.

But for more advanced users openwrt offers additional features. But worse wifi, no IoT, etc.
Sure. But consider that not everyone is like you. There has been a normalization of nature lovers in our time (mostly correlated with upbringing and environment, but in some cases possibly partly correlated with affluence ironically — most of my nature loving friends like spending money at REI and posting nature photos — if that was my hobby I would too — yet I notice that there’s a kind of mimesis going on where it’s now cool to love nature) and it’s an interesting reversal because in my day the opposite was true in my milieu (in a big city, so self selected population).

I come from survivalist stock where my parents escaped smaller more rural places to make it in the city hence the opposite orientation. When my family moved from the downtown core to a more sparsely populated new development closer to nature (forest preserve next door) for my dad’s job, my grandmother and rest of the family felt it was “too quiet”. They missed the connections they had with the fishmongers and shopkeepers and the thriving commercial activity and convenience of being able to buy stuff.

I suspect there is a bias that we see online because those who comment on sites like this and Reddit tend to be introverts and there’s an intrinsic bias toward solitary activities like being in nature. I find the numbers to be more even in the non tech forum population.
Rivian to Use Tesla’s EV Charging Standard
> Blocking charges to your card, chargebacks, cancelling your card, changing the number etc. are all pointless.

Pointless would imply useless. It’s not though. I have never in years had a problem with expiring virtual credit cards (effectively canceling a card). These are usually for prepaid services with no term contract. The company can’t charge, they cancel the service automatically, none of my time wasted.

> You signed a contract and owe them the money regardless

Thank you for your expert legal advice.

> If you can't do that, you really deserve what you get.

You are a total piece of shit.
We do not need to future-proof languages, we need to make them replaceable and able to interact with each other.

I believe the biggest problem to be environment/io access. It will be the bottleneck of most new language implementations and encourage people to update the old instead of creating the new. A simple fix would be to separate both, like in this blog post having input/output instructions and leave the actual environment interaction to something else.
Both of which are customer nightmares?

It's also easier to reproduce, for sure. This goes for QA as well as customers, that may not be casually accessing the request (or have access to the logs) for reproducing problematic requests.

And/or, since automakers evidently need some sort of agreement with Tesla[1], if it takes a while, it could be due to negotiations.

For example, if there are fees for using the connector (not sure), an automaker might hold out to get the best price. There may be terms related to the rates that will be paid for using Tesla's charging stations.

There might be other issues. Maybe Tesla wants to qualify automakers' designs so cars don't cause problems with their charging network, or vice versa. The automaker might want access to Tesla engineers or facilities for help with designing or testing stuff.

Also, I don't know who's supplying the connectors (that will be built into the cars), but if it's Tesla, the automaker may want commitments about how many will be delivered by what date and at what cost.

There could also be some sort of IT integration, like charging location map data or maybe allowing customers a different way to pay for charging (through the automaker's app or something).

lua has decent string lib in the stdlib, you can also use 3rd party libraries such as https://github.com/stein197/lua-string, I'm not familiar with tcl, can you elaborate why tcl is much better than lua in string manipulations?
Yet another stats page, this one includes kbin too:

https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse

Lemmy and kbin are theoretically both compatible with each other, as well as with less-closely related projects like Mastodon, because they are all part of the Fediverse using the same ActivityPub standard protocol. (In practice, there are bugs because this is alpha software, and some aspects of running a link aggregator aren't in the ActivityPub standard and thus implementations differ, but it's really cool when federation works between different codebases.)
The good news is, you absolutely can tell a total stranger about your recent mishaps, or worries or problems or whatever! Services like The Samaritans exist just for this and many people find them extremely beneficial.

I am going to use public Searxes for comparison.

The difference is that there is less noise from other users as it is limited to Mullvad subscribers, and there is presumably a smaller user base.

Otherwise, there is probably little to no difference, considering that Searxes are not used by many in the same vein.

However, self-hosting is the equivalent of directly using the search engine under your own IP, just without javascript. There is no noise from other users looking up unrelated queries.
If you are really lonely for a long time, you can very easily loose social skills. Effectively you become simultaneously lonely, simultaneously avoidance of people and simultaneously sabotaging potential relationships.

Your example is incorrect.

} finally {
await lineFileHandle.close();
}
}
} finally {
await fileListHandle.close();
}
console.log(totalSize);
And there's nothing special about Tcl the language that makes it special for scripting GUIs -- some people just put in the work to make a cross-platform GUI library and now everyone using Tcl benefits from it. I really wish Go had something similar to Tcl/Tk. I know making a cross-platform GUI library is hard, so how did Tcl/Tk's authors do it? All the way back in 1991, which still works even today?
Consider if out of N they saw and attempted to speak with, a single person had "a switch flip" in their head to give the conversation a chance and they ended up forming a deep connection and lifelong friendship, perhaps going on to turn their life around completely.
Would the "Ew. they don't actually care, i'm going to ignore them, feel bad about it, and complain to their bosses" of the %Depressed*(N-1) others outweigh that?

In other words, what's P & Q here:

for personThoughtVec of peoplesThoughtVecs:
impact += P * dot(personThoughtVec, thought2vec("switch flip..."))
- Q * dot(personThoughtVec, thought2vec("Ew..."))

Personally, I'd put them orders of magnitude apart.
Submitting this article from last year on the hopes that someone from Apple reads HN. I would say macOS shouldn't be this hard. I have to write multiple properties to make facetime work on my MBP? Have to use a third-party app to replicate the "window on every virtual screen" feature embedded in every x/windows window manager (except TWM)? I have to edit properties through the command line to get wired ethernet to work with a third party dongle? Reboot my machine three or four times before the MBP recognizes an external monitor? And I'm not paying $99 for a dev account so I can find the docs that tell me how to turn on logging. And it would be cool if ANY of the #a11y features from several years ago still worked with modern apps. And the latest OS update broke compatibility with THE CHARGING BRICK? I have to buy a new charger so I can use the latest OS? What? (fortunately I figured out where in the properties tree to point the defaults tool to fix this.)

But now I'm just ranting. As best I can tell, the only reason to use an MBP is so you can write iOS programs. But my customer really thinks the Apple ecosystem is cool, even though we target Linux in the cloud. Oh. Also. Why/how does macOS break BOTH parallels and VirtualBox between revs? Fortunately the latest VirtualBox works with the latest macOS.

I will be very happy to leave this engagement in the past. Seems like I'm spending 20% of my time keeping a terminal window working on the mac.

And I'm coming from a position of really loving NeXTStep and Classic Macs. In the classic era, we had consistent design guidance. Now it's a mish-mash of random recommendations which may or may not carry on to the next OS rev. And NeXTStep had it's problems, but at least it booted consistently.

I know there are a lot of apple fans out here, so go ahead and down-vote me. Sorry for bruising your ego. But the objective of this post is to try to reach someone at Apple who has the ability to make things better for non-fans.
The whole "Chromebox" nomenclature is about as meaningful as the "Steam Machine" or "Mac" designations. If you build a designated gaming PC with Steam, it's a Steam Machine. If you've got a device running MacOS, it's a Mac. There's no real fanfare to the thing, it's just a nominative way to cover the base specifications of a device.

> It's hardware in a form factor I like. What can I use it for? Can I install any OS I want?

I'll be damned if a single product page for consumer hardware tells me any of those things anymore. I'd happily support legislation that pushes manufacturers to disclose that info, though.
I'm really wondering what kind of downsides you see to WFH; to me, there are only upsides:

- no commute

- being at home with the people you love and miss

- not getting distracted by office drama

- simplified work/life integration

As a company we're using WFH as a selling point for engineers - they love it.
Also, I don't think it's calories that we're really short on.
I don't like to shame people usually, but this article reads a little something like "Boomer tries something different, is upset by differences."

I very productively multitask on my Mac and have for decades. I wouldn't personally want to go back to a Windows environment, but I'm not so arrogant as to claim multitasking isn't possible on Windows.

It's just a different platform and there's a learning curve whenever you have to get used to any new platform.

But I would argue that it's much easier for a Windows person to learn a Mac than the other way around. I may be biased, but it's my honest opinion.
I never understood why front-center didn't become the standard here. That would obviate more stand placement and cable length issues.

Dying because no code is written in it, or dying because nobody is able to run it isn't the same.

We shouldn't prevent language from dying, but they shouldn't either due to lack of maintenance.
I wonder what this will do to crypto - my guess is that it will result in a lot more crypto trades and be bad for crypto exchanges

Many institutions want to trade crypto but don't want or can't use the crypto financial system without a lot of effort. If they can buy coins and use the same (trusted, separated, and audited) exchange, clearing, and custodian systems they use for other trades then crypto trades can be added with little compliance effort.

If retail traders can buy and sell bitcoin using their existing retail broker they'll do so rather than open accounts on a crypto exchange.

A USD tethered coin offered by a major institution that used this would likely kill tether etc.

DC charging stations sometimes have batteries on site so that they can charge up from the grid and then deliver bursts of power from the batteries during charging. Apparently this is often worth it to avoid the high demand fees that utilities charge when you draw a lot of power at once.

I assume this will become more ubiquitous as charging speeds continue to increase.

(You're right that a megawatt is a high power draw in the context of normal household electricity usage, but keep in mind that if you can pump ten gallons of gas in a minute you're effectively drawing the equivalent of something like 20MW, so in the context of vehicle refueling it's not so crazy.)
