Why does it make you laugh when the automotive industry literally brags about it?

Here's an article covering how pickups are becoming more deadly to others in crashes, becoming more common on the road, and being purposefully styled to look aggressive:

https://theweek.com/articles/929196/case-against-american-tr...

"Furthermore, the specific design trend of the massive hood sticking way out in front of the driver, with a cliff-face front grille obstructing the view several feet out in front of the wheels, is entirely a marketing gimmick. The explicit point is to create an angry, aggressive face that will intimidate others, especially pedestrians. Don't take it from me, take it from the guy who designed the latest GM Sierra HD: "The front end was always the focal point... we spent a lot of time making sure that when you stand in front of this thing it looks like it's going to come get you. It's got that pissed-off feel," he told Muscle Cars & Trucks. "The face of these trucks is where the action is," marketing expert Mark Schirmer told the Wall Street Journal's Dan Neil, "a Ford has to say Ford from head on, a Chevy must shout Chevy. Every pickup has become a rolling brand billboard and the billboards are big." And as Neil discovered when he was nearly run down in a Costco parking lot, that massive grille creates a massive blind spot."

The article continues, discussing how actual commercial work vehicles (sprinter vans and cab-over box trucks for example) don't show the same styling trends.
Clearly, you’re one of those that feel like facts matter. This feels like one of those battles to be fought in the court of public opinion and not a court of law. In that type of fight, suppressing facts while speaking your narrative as loudly as possible is a winning move

Ultimately the only viable plan is going to be severe care rationing. In most developed countries we have an aging population with an increasing incidence of chronic diseases and a shortage of physicians. Regardless of whether payments come from governments, employers, or individuals the reality is that we simply won't have the resources to care for everyone.

> So why does this topic have such poor comments?

I’m sure this won’t be a popular opinion, but I believe it’s basically class warfare at work. You have, here, a lot of upper middle class engineers whose egos are protected if they believe that the richer class is greedy and unethical.
Grav is my favorite CMS. It’s a perfect fit for my use cases: side projects that often take unconventional formats.

Dubos' "second thoughts" may have been lacking in practical application or perhaps even totally pointless, but:

Is our vulnerability to bullets a deficiency in
the host? If we had tougher thicker skin we might
be able to withstand at least lower caliber shots.

For the bullet analogy to be apt, we'd have to have a reality where nearly all people have bullet-resistant skin and only a small minority of the population could be injured by bullets. Then, yeah, it would be worth looking at why those people had malfunctioning skin.

The reality is that the vast majority of germs do not cause disease. Most people with latent TB do not develop TB; most people with latent herpes zoster do not develop shingles, etc.
> I don't want to redo a bachelor degree, so I'll have to stay close to engineering.

Many master's programs allow entry without an undergrad degree in a related discipline. Some of the classes may be more difficult, but this can be addressed by getting recommendations on which undergraduate courses (far less than a second bachelor's) to take to fill in the gaps, or just studying harder and using office hours with the knowledge of the professors.
Interesting thoughts but I don’t see any as ground breaking. The author correctly points out that there are clear genetic conditions that predispose someone to a disease or protect from one.

Germ theory correctly describes infection as a root cause of illness. It is true that most people who are infected do not show develop disease symptoms and this does mean other factors are at play. Stress, environment, age, and genetics all play a role in whether a person develops a disease or just maintains a latent infection with no symptoms.

This article adds a genetic component to a previously published host theory printed in 1955. In todays world I think the idea of germ theory and host conditions including genetics is well understood by most in the medical community.

Reading through the responses, it seems like a good idea to have pgautoupgrade containers pinned to vMajor too.

So (for example):

pgautoupgrade/pgautoupgrade:15-alpine3.8

That one would upgrade the database to PostgreSQL 15, and not further.

Simultaneously, there would be other other versions available too. For example:

pgautoupgrade/pgautoupgrade:16-alpine3.8

This one would upgrade the database to PostgreSQL 16, and not further.

That should be pretty straight forward to do. :)

How is this effective? Wouldn’t the creditors pierce the corporate veil of this obviously transparent and self-serving setup?
Neither. There's an association of state DMV/RMV heads, and they have apparently decided that we shouldn't have these.

A lot of state RMVs are starting to refuse to register these vehicles, and that's why you often see them being sold for very cheap.

Unfortunately I know exactly what CORBA means. Helming a legacy project that still contains the requirement of using CORBA is a real bugbear of mine. It takes non-trivial effort to even build the ORB we use (OmniORB) for each platform we support (the number is low, currently 4) that its effectively the only library we don't build from source each time. Every now and then, someone struggles to build it, we then check in the built libraries and forget about it for as long as we can.
Thanks @dang for posting the # of comments. The exact same content received only a few comments whenever it was posted, but once received 84 comments! What happened that time which didn’t happen other times?

Among other things the list you posted illustrates a counterpoint I often made — that engagement on HN is often not due to how compelling the actual content posted is but rather is highly dependent on “group contagion” or serendipitous factors, like a few people coming to comment and upvote early on.

That’s why there is a large incentive for people to “astroturf” their first few comments and votes, by asking friends to upvote, or something. Having posted on HN since 2009 without any such “cheating” I have seen it get harder to “go viral” than in the past, it’s basically the Red Queen theory.

I also noticed that posting long videos or long thoughtful articles that take a while to read results in far less chance of it being upvoted — by the time people finish reading it, it has been “outcompeted” by shorter and more shallow content - because more people come back and upvote it sooner, so the algorithm prioritizes it.

I would suggest A/B testing other algorithms for ranking on HN, like Google did with their search engine, rather than just using pagerank as a single signal.
I really appreciate not only stating that the dependencies were, but also the a brief description of why they were necessary or helpful.
In Britain, citizens have a hard time getting basic dental care that they can afford: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-13/uk-dentis...

The demographic explanation simply does not hold water when routine healthcare is not available.
Just because a judge says something doesn’t make it true either. I’m sure the case will be appealed and, until a final verdict is given, nothing has been settled.

> The thing that boggles my mind his how this 25-year-old grandfathering thing works. I think it's totally fair to allow old vehicles on the road that may not comply with today's standards, but did comply when they were originally made and titled (in the US). But there's no good reason we need to allow people to import old, unsafe vehicles like this.

If safety was a primary concern for U.S. regulators, large consumer SUVs and trucks would not exist in their current form. As of ~2019 (the last such study I know of) trucks killed occupants of other vehicles at 2.5x the rate of cars and "SUVs" (an increasingly useless category as it includes everything from small unibody crossovers to enormous body-on-frame Canyonero-style monstrosities). I am not aware of any comparable headline figure for how pedestrians fare against them but I would put money on their pedestrian safety performance also being atrocious.

They are quite literally an atrocity against the American people, a public health hazard of the first order, and our regulators evidently do not give one single shit.

Through that lens the opinion you've expressed here—that people should not be allowed to drive cars that make them more unsafe—is extremely ironic, because the semiliterate chuds who support the unrestrained escalation of larger and deadlier and larger and deadlier vehicles on public roads make the exact opposite "argument" as a justification of why they should be allowed: freedom, personal responsibility, etcetera. I elide the details because it's mad-libs anyway, not any kind of coherent position unless one discards the notion of a social contract entirely.

I'm not suggesting you yourself hold an opinion like that, but it seems a uniquely American dichotomy that one is not allowed to drive a car that makes oneself more likely to die, but there is absolutely no problem with driving a car that's several times more likely to kill somebody else.
There are rental multi family units and single family homes.

Dense multi family units - companies can go crazy building and renting them out.

Single family homes is a special American dream. Having them subject to rent seeking greed is not great.

It’s along the same lines of cities saying - in this zones you can’t have Airbnb short term rentals, in this zone primary home owners or second home rentals only, in this zone go crazy capitalistic do whatever you want.

I honestly don’t care about billionaires. But if they are taking a huge pie away from finite resources like livable land/housing, then that is a problem.

Focusing on income inequality or giving free money as universal income is wrong way to look at it.

We just need a healthy distribution of finite resources that yield supply of basic needs.

Needs being Food, water, electricity, internet, housing, clothing, transport, electricity, healthcare etc.

Price gouging of utilities is restricted, no reason why we can’t encourage building more homes and ensuring a healthy gradient of distribution.

These don't usually take off because people who use vim and emacs are people who insist on customizability and aren't into all the bloat that comes with IDEs. People who want IDEs aren't interested in an editor that lives in the terminal. There is a very limited market for something like this.
but how are they getting a bonus if the deal is bad? Esp. if it has gone on for a while?
In most places all of this is still illegal, but then again, is the person with this mindset who you want to pull over today?

The active community for kirby is bigger than grav's as the following shows:

DCE/RPC is used today! Lots of factories running this crusty stuff to interconnect PLCs:

https://wiki.wireshark.org/PROFINET/IO

My favorite part of RPC is that it has a header with switchable endianness and a field for what floating point encoding you would like to use. For when your machine encodes Cray-compatible:

FWIIW, I would’t be shocked to find out these have worse emissions.
...or when my local inspection station, and the cops, don't even blink at a Ford 350 with a huge-ass lift kit, mud tires that don't grip for shit and extend inches (or more) past the fenders which is insanely dangerous, a front bumper that has been replaced with a thick sheetmetal version, and the rear plate is covered by a tinted, a glossy plate cover that makes the plate virtually impossible to read, and the cherry on the pie: a "DPF delete" which means the guy is belching diesel particulate everywhere he goes.
The draw of these imo is as a framework for building my own config. Something as relatively niche as the lua config for NeoVim is hard enough to find good code examples that nicely flushed out configs like this are a goldmine.
The Howey test isn't an SEC construct, it's that of the Supreme Court.

As it is, the SEC has been implementing the Howey test as a result of that precedent.

Now, you can certainly argue that the Howey test is flawed or incomplete or... but that's separate to arguing that the SEC is misapplying the test.
You mentioned the population growth but what about aging population? Because of that wouldn't funding need to be exponentially increased each year. At the same time a smaller working population and who are against tax increases would make that difficult.
There were some research in the past where they can turn WIFI signal into video (seeing through walls, detecting humans...).

I really haven't experienced this. There was one time i noticed vim slow down, and that was related to a relative line number bug specific to Mac, but that was fixed a while ago. I've used many of the ide type neovim premade configs, and i use my own which has a lot going on. None seem slow to me. Guess it has been a while since I've used a vanilla config. Full ide setups in neovim don't seem slow to me, especially compared to other full ides or vs code.
Using LazyVim got me over the hump to switch to neovim from vscode. My previous attempts failed when it took too long to get an IDE-compatible setup. I suppose I am the type of person that wants and IDE/editor that lives in the terminal!

I love using the official copilot plugin with neovim. It has easy rebindable keys and a pretty nice set of features.

As you said though.. It won't compete with 1st party love given to VSC. For example, I have no idea if "neighboring tabs" is a feature in neovim.
It’s arguable how much, if any, Forth is in PostScript. It is, indeed, a stack based language, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end.

There’s more to what makes a Forth a Forth than a parameter stack.

I for one think it used to be very different.

That is, there used to be some pretty universal, trusted sources of information. Encyclopedia Brittanica, for one simple example. And I'm not saying these sources never had errors or they didn't embed some of the societal biases in their reports, but they clearly had an institutional desire to report facts correctly, and pretty much nobody questioned that intent, regardless of political leanings.

The ease with which anyone can publish anything on the Internet is a double-edged sword. It makes it more possible to challenge the status quo, but it also means that some crackpot can produce a slick video that, to many people, is just as valid as some well-researched documentary that at least attempts to be unbiased.
If they literally mean safety then perhaps Golang fits the bill but they said safety _like Rust_. They probably still want the control that Rust provides.
Because it's cars that kill people and ours are too big, too many, and driven by every idiot.

Washington State legislature was going to reduce the number of DUIs before prison from FIVE to FOUR (not 1 like it should be), but they chose not to because it'd be "too expensive". Yup, keep feeding us into the orphan killing machine.
I went to several Siggraphs in this timeframe. It was so exciting watching a new technology that grew quickly every year and enabled graphics like this that were like nothing we had seen before and that improved massively year by year.

There was always a big presentation in a theater in the evening where they would debut dozens of animations like this, many with “behind the scenes” looks at how they were constructed and rendered and notes about the new techniques developed to generate them.
Ya pretty sure using copilot only applies to personal projects. To my knowledge, you can’t use LLM’s while coding at work due to CCI.

However, there are plugins to use LLM’s while coding with Neovim and Emacs, so, you can still use these editors for that if you want.
>I think it’s amazing that a solid system can be defunded like that until it just sorta crumbles under it’s own weight

"defunded"? Maybe if you're comparing post pandemic budgets to pandemic budgets, but spending is still way up compared to pre-pandemic levels.

After curating my own vim customizations for years I switched to this and have been happily using it for about 6 months now. It was very easy to change any settings I didn’t like and/or port over stuff I couldn’t live without. It opens lighting fast too despite how fully featured it is. Highly recommend.
>1. Why is private equity ending up with all these resources? Who is selling to them and why? Why didn't this happen before? It's not like PE is new.

Centrally planned benchmark interest rates below market equilibrium took capital away from activities that produced value today and handed it to people who promised unrealistically optimistic future growth. Central planning doesn't work.

I deal with D3 pick and the fear I have of doing select bp and catalog bp is insane. The entire system is a mess so wiping the md would be catastrophic. :)
(I'm only pointing this out)

There's also the issue where people believe that everyone, regardless of age, should be treated to the maximum level possible (or what they can afford in the case of the US).

If you publicity suggested that someone who is 99 years old and in poor health shouldn't receive some treatment that costs a massive amount of money/resources you would be looked at in disgust. No politican would even dare. Combine that with the selfish nature of most people (of course to be fair the instinctual desire to avoid death) and an aging population (as you mentioned) and it seems like a few generations are going to be weighed down to extended the lives of the least productive members of society.
One more thing. You can start neovim with different configs, so if you wanted to launch neovim with a super light config, it is possible to have both. Need to do some trickery with env vars, but it's not hard.
I agree, I’ll take JavaScript over TypeScript any day. I work on massive codebases and have never had bug related to type safety, or any issues scaling.

I don't put Facebook on my phone. My friends there are a close circle of trusted family and friends that I want to keep up with. But it's a dumpster fire.

My feed is clogged with ads, suggestions, thirst traps, quintuple posts, and spam. Any content from a friend or a page where I willingly gave consent, that's lost in the noise. And yet I persist in trying to follow along. I doomscroll repeatedly through the same posts (there's no way to mark everything as "read") and sometimes the landscape looks a little different, so it's definitely got its addictive hooks in me.

I try not to engage with posts that are not something I've subscribed to. If you comment on weird pages, you are likely to get in some drama or get a creepy friend request from a bot.

I don't fall for phishing emails or common scams elsewhere, but at least twice, I've fallen for a Facebook scam where someone impersonated/hacked a friend's account.

I feel like I don't spend much time on Facebook because of this, yet I'm collecting "Top Fan Badges" from little pages where I just "like" their every post.
copilot works wonderfully inside NeoVim; I use it daily. You are right that some of the more advanced integrations (Chat, direct analysis/explanation) aren't ported though. I use shellgpt in tmux for a (not as good but almost) experience.
