> 90% of what is on Reddit is (in my opinion) crap

And most people would likely agree with you, however they'll have labelled a different 90% as the crap part. It's the bleed-over between those different parts that makes Reddit's huge user population effective at keeping up momentum even in smaller backwater subreddits. (e.g. "I'm already here reading r/funny, so I happen to see when occasional new stuff gets posted on r/obscurethingnobodycaresaboutbutme too")
My friend who is not an EV driver got stuck with an EV rental (Bolt) for a semi-rural trip and boy was that a ton of drama.

I’ve been thinking hard about an EV myself and now I’m looking at PHEVs instead. I’ve gotten a crash course in EV charging around here and it’s not good. Level 2 chargers are not for spontaneous trips and level 1 chargers are fucking pointless. It estimated two and a half days to charge from 40-80% at my house. My house was wired for level 2 charging by the previous owners but the plug is 220 3 prong rather than the NEMA 14-50 plug that seems to be de rigeur lately. At least I could probably get an electrician to fix that cheap.

If anything the non CCS chargers are made by idiots.
Right, Wikipedia lists LD50 of 90mL/kg (~5.5 liters for topical human). I am incredibly suspect that a single glass of pure water would do anything measurable. Hell, you can drink substantial amounts of D2O for a significant duration before metabolic processes begin to be impacted.
Most EVs charge at home most of the time, so there isn't that much money in the "fuel" industry, they are mostly needed for long distance trips (and so crowd up on holiday weekends), not daily driving.
Agreed. 'Just' is code for 'I don't understand the nuances of the topic at hand' in my books too, and it was here on HN in particular that I came to realise that.

I now actively try to avoid using that turn of phrase, and when I catch myself about to say/saying it, I check myself and remind myself that I'm also susceptible to this blind spot.
I haven't used any routers like that, and I don't know about vanilla OpenWRT support for RUTx devices, but RutOS is free and open source, continually developed, and they provide an SDK for customisation [0]. So far RutOS firmware updates have been frequent, something like monthly, and there has even been some modem firmware updates for my 5GLTE router (never saw a modem firmware update for any other modem/router i used).

They are marketed towards industrial not consumer and come with the associated price tag, so maybe that has something to do with it. They also use the same OS across all their devices so it makes sense that it's in continuous development.

I was specifically looking for a 5GLTE modem/router when I came across teltonkia, at the time there was no other 5GLTE modem/router available that could run OpenWRT or similar, it was closed source unknowns all around except for them, so I was pretty happy to find them.

Insights into the Mind of a Highly Sensitive Person
I believe these studies to be problematic for many reasons. The first is because they measure owner satisfaction, but they make zero effort to measure owner expectations. Are the expectations for people buying Teslas much higher than people who buy from other manufacturers? Are they more sophisticated of a buyer and think more deeply about their car?

The second issue is they also do things like compare the Rivian R1T to the Model 3, which is half the retail price and less than a quarter of the manufacturing cost (Rivian takes huge losses on their sales).

The final issue I'll mention is that JD Power makes almost all of its money from traditional car manufacturers. This is a huge conflict of interest and there is zero legal accountability.

In terms of performance and memory use, LuaJIT beats every other JIT out there. Lua is a much smaller language, and Mike Pall is a cyborg, so it's an unfair comparison when compared with such a huge language like JS.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Mixpannel
We are an early-stage startup with 4 million active users. We have been using Mixpannel for two years now. It has worked beautifully for us to understand event funnels and has helped us in product decisions and understanding user behaviours.

Lately, due to the high volume of events fired, it has become quite expensive for us to afford.

I am looking for some open-source alternatives we can deploy in our cloud.

Features that I am looking out for are:

1. Funnel analysis like Mixpannel
2. User events like Mixpannel
3. Simple UI to understand and create funnels.
4. Near real-time events like Mixpannel
5. Support for SQL-like syntax to create complex dashboards(Add On and not necessary)
In 2023, not counting x86, I'm still using seven of these great processor architectures. NetBSD support is quite good :)

I'm not sure I could agree with that statement. Regarding global warming, sure, although we can't be certain to what degree. But many other aspects, such as treatment options, simply weren't available before - and for sure many other will appear (as will new diseases, but still...).
that's fine! I'm happy with heavier views. The thing i'm arguing against is the Rails pattern of having FooBarService classes that are effectively just a single method and cobbled together in completely random ways instead of using actual model methods.
thanks for you feedback, there is more feature on our roadmap and it will always be local friendly and easy to host. I'll consider to switch undb to MIT someday.
> "The people" is not a single entity, and does not "want" things. Individual people want things. So if democracy is "what the people want", then democracy does not exist

Congratulations, you’ve found the fatal flaw in millennia of thinking on the topic.

What “the people” want is unknowable. That is the point and paradox. Democracy is a system for balancing individual wants against individual needs, enabling each majority while protecting every minority. It’s a system of trade-offs which eludes poetic summation. It dies when we get caught up in word play over pragmatic concerns, or when someone claims to speak singularly for what “the people” want.

I'm sure I'm dumber than I would have been had I avoided the exposure, although I also grew up in the era of leaded gasoline. Based on what I've read, I'm more likely to experience Parkinson's, anemia, and various cancers in the future.

Okay, I did a double-take and tried to parse "covaries" as something to do with "ovaries". Also I commend the generous citations of "N. Barber" in a facial-hair related study.
Absolutely.

But, it is a problem that needs solved. We're firmly within the "buy a new EV" demographic otherwise, but the cost+hassle of installing a charger at home definitely contributes to our "meh, we'll keep the ICE another year or two" mentality.

And in a few years, charger availability might start to impact resales. Maybe. Mostly just thinking aloud.
Exactly. Judging from that video their approach to designing and building that thing seeks very amateurish, nonchalant, and lacking an eye for redundancy and safety.
Yeah, that's fair. I get the frustration with that sort of criticism.

imo that this feeling comes up in most marriages. might be a good idea to get some third-party feedback on your reflection(s) to asses whether there is as much basis to it as your feelings suggest or if it can be worked out.

a long relationship has some value in itself, so the opportunity cost of a unneeded divorce could be huge.
Maybe if you drank only ultra pure water and ate no food. The osmosis story is clear BS. The instant the water hits your mouth plenty of bacteria and electrolytes from salivia are reintroduced, not to mention all your digestive juices.

If you injected the pure water directly into your bloodstream, you'd have an osmosis problem, thus the need for saline in IVs.

> Binary replication only works with DBs of the same major version. If you want to replicate to a different version, well… you can’t.

Is this true? I thought they fixed that at some point after PG11.
The gist of those examples in TypeScript:

EXAMPLE 1: Echo command-line input

console.log(process.argv);

EXAMPLE 2: Count duplicates in a file

import { readFile } from "fs/promises";
readFile("0.txt", "utf-8").then((text) => {
const frequency: { [line: string]: number } = {};
text
.split("\n")
.forEach((line) => (frequency[line] = frequency[line] + 1 || 1));
Object.entries(frequency)
.filter(([key, value]) => value > 1)
.forEach(([key, value]) => console.log(value, key));
});

EXAMPLE 3: GET request

fetch(process.argv[2]).then(console.log).catch(console.error);

EXAMPLE 4: GET parallel requests

process.argv.slice(2).map((url) => {
const start = Date.now();
fetch(url).then((res) =>
console.log(
`${(Date.now() - start) / 1000}s`,
res.headers.get("Content-Length"),
url
)
);
});

Using the author's criteria, relative to Tcl, these implementations (to me) are:

1. Significantly shorter, just as expressive, and familiar to millions of (JS/TS) devs

2. Fast, owing to Node.js/V8's insane optimization level

3. Strongly typed

But you know what? I don't care much about terseness or speed when writing scripts. Honestly, the real reason I use TS for scripts is simple: comfort. I'm comfortable and productive with it. Everything else is just post-hoc rationalization. I'd wager it's the same story for many of these "Why <language/tech>?" posts.

It's perfectly fine to use something simply because you like it -- you're in good company. :)

“If ultrapure water was consumed continually, epithelial cells would be steadily leached (or perhaps instantly in the case of the goldfish’s respiratory system).”

Musculoskeletal overuse injuries requiring some level of medical attention are pretty common in every endurance sport, including swimming.

We usually have a few deaths every year in open water swimming and the swim portion of triathlon races due to medical issues like heart attacks and immersion pulmonary oedema.
There are a lot of patterns similar to this idea of recycling water that is usable for agriculture.

The main thing with agriculture is managing ground water onsite with rainwater harvesting. By that, I specifically do not mean holding it in tanks. I’m talking about things like on-contour swales to slow down water so some of it recharges groundwater, or use of percolation ponds upland from the crop area.

These work in arid climates. You have to use a different set of patterns for wet places that can receive too much water. Many of the patterns can be found in how beavers instinctually manage water.
Damn straight. A structured environment that doubles as a boarding school is exactly what some children at that age need.
Luckily horses do not _need_ alfalfa. Farmers love growing alfalfa because if you give it sun and water in the right setting you can get damn near 14 cuts off a field of it in one year. This by comparison puts a grass hay field or even a nice neutral horse feed, Timothy grass, to shame. Alfalfa is a nutrient dense power bar that is given to horses kept in boxes. I would argue a happy horse would have a range of grassland to graze on, vs compressed cubes or squares of dense, sugary alfalfa that is replacing a normal ration.

tldr: alfalfa is an unnatural food for unnaturally kept horses

Side note: reverse process happens when you drink seawater: it sucks the water out of your cells, making you die from dehydration faster than if you hadn't drunk it.

> Would a standard US 8 fluid oz glass of ultrapure water kill? If it would, this seems like a good mystery novel gimmick.

If the pure water gimmick doesn't work out, then maybe for your mystery novel switch over to heavy water, which is known to be toxic iirc. Eccentric, recluse, rich person decides to drink nothing but heavy water for the exotic allure and then dies on the eve of a corporate merger or something. Bonus points, heavy water ice cubes will sink in regular water but over time they will float because they melt off the heavy ice and refreeze regular water, changing their buoyancy. Something the eagle eyed investigator can notice in the 11th hour.

There are also explicit laws forbidding telling your customers of your suspicions ("tipping off" in the context of money laundering).

My understanding is merely pouring the water into the bowl stirred it enough that it should have had sufficient oxygen.

We want to change this. In order to do so, we have built a suite of mechanisms aiming to offer cash to either people in need to finance their projects or investor looking to invest over the next years to build a salary supplement.

Umm, there's a significant chunk of the world's population who will likely never be able to charge at home, because they live in apartments and park on-street.

We can talk specifically about bicycles. You don't need to buy one and lock it outside. You can get a Lyft Bike membership which would probably come out to about $5 per daily 4-mile commute on an e-bike, and much less if you qualify for their low-income program. And you're constantly within a couple blocks at most of one of those bikes.

There's also Revel scooters if you need more power and space for groceries, Lime scooters if you like getting injured, and there are plenty of tiny electric vehicles now that you can buy, wouldn't call a bicycle but can easily be brought into grocery stores etc. They're all over SF. I don't think it's exactly out of place to call out alternatives when discussing whether biking is a viable commuting option.
