The engines and planes in general aviation are more then 50 years behind. Most small planes in the air today where made before 1980. They have been rebuilt several times, but the original manufacturing was decades ago.
Similar for me, I’d say it’s actually more like once or twice a year. More if you count sites that are specifically about Chrome experiments, which sometimes get linked from HN.
You could flash headlights probably 500+ times before a healthy battery had even a little trouble starting.

Link-time optimization means that you're probably not going to take that much of a performance hit.

But yes, opaque structs do enforce that it will be treated as a plain pointer, and the compiler (usually) cannot treat it as an aggregate of variables.

I do agree with this, but I'd also add that the actual intrinsic growth itself matters a lot more than either achievement in the long term!

E.g. if you learn and retain a lot in a difficult algorithms course, that's more valuable than either the intrinsic "I passed this difficult course" or the extrinsic "I got an A+" for most cases.
> If a small home run website has good info and gets popular, and has to add more advertisements

More advertisements? Any advertisements make the site worse. More makes it more worse.

It's so inexpensive to have a website these days, even one that pulls in a substantial number of visitors, that it's hard to make an argument that ads are necessary to pay for hosting.
I disagree - many cars are kept in parking lots - especially in HCOL. Access is basically whenever - if someone sees it there, and not moved often and such they know they can most likely attack it.

Stripping an security system is also doable, via the can-bus attacks we see of late, but more personalized can just be to replace the ECU. In many cars this can be done in less than 15 minutes.

Car shopping as presented in gone in 60 seconds is somewht common - ask people on any enthusiast forum and you'll see.

Miatas in Bay area, stolen for the hard top/car itself.
Skylines
Honda Civics - just spare parts basically, though if it's a mint enough model I can see people vin swap because 2000's
Honda S2000 - mint models reach 30K now, so it's own market.

And that's just from what I've kept up* in.

Now would someone pull up to someones garage, open that, and drive out? Probably not - but alot of people do drive cars to a parking space for work, or if they live in a condo - have shared/communal parking, and such.

And to add an extra layer of paraonia, it is very inexpensive to attach a GPS/Air tag to a car and track it - within a week or two you can see a pattern of where it goes, for how long and what amount of time its standby.

The VIN number is also viewable from the windshield, meaning if the thief has any sort of connection - they could even just order a replacement key thats preprogrammed with a base code and potentially just turn up to the car and drive away.

But for opportunistic theft, yes - keys left within car/visible and then stolen but there are many different type of thieves for different markets. For unique/"antique" cars or any cars that were in the first three gran turismo - being targeted is a very big thing now in the community.
I always enjoyed the irony of rigid adherence to agile processes. My philosophy has always been to ask "what are our goals" and then figure out how to make our process be in service of those goals. Scrum does provide some useful frameworks for estimation and planning and continual reflection & improvement.
Agreed. It's surprising how often we are great at post mortem analysis in engineering contexts (asking "why" five times), but we find it uncomfortable to do the same in social contexts. We jump straight to "How" rather than "why", and build locks that inconvenience people in hopes of stopping that one "how" rather than investing in fixing the root causes.
Don't look at it as a suggestion to use gzip in production, but an invitation to reconsider the unassailable superiority of BERT over simpler, tailored solutions.

I took a read of https://web.dev/learn/pwa/capabilities/ since I have no experience building a PWA and it seems quite capable, just wondering what type of app CANNOT currently (or ever?) become a PWA.
That's interesting. I also have never caught Covid despite everyone in family getting it (wife, kids, parents, friends, etc...). And I also take a blood thinner for my heart troubles.
The point is that “public investment” isn’t why transit systems in America suck. The government invested about 60% of Cross Rail capital costs, and the line will likely pay for itself in terms of operating costs. By contrast, the government paid for 100% of the costs for New York’s Second Avenue subway, and will pick up the check for more than half the operating costs too.

The NYC MTA receives over $7 billion in public support annually, and routinely gets billions in federal infusions. It got a $15 billion covid bail out. Transport for a London meanwhile has gotten 3.6 billion pounds over the next two years as it comes out of covid. NYC’s public investment dwarf’s London’s.
I have Cystic Fibrosis, and despite getting ill a few times during the pandemic (which is kinda par for the course with CF) I always tested negative. Even when my wife had it (and we were definitely not socially distancing before, in all the ways you'd imagine), I never tested positive.
A lot of people don't remember how slow Firefox used to be before ~2018. Maintaining compatibility with XUL extensions really held them back for a while.
Maybe I'm missing something, but in some of my international travels, rental cars had a keypad that had to be entered correctly prior to the key working.
No key code entry, no run.

Put the keypad in 3 times incorrectly in a row, system blinks rad, you sat for an hour unless you called the rental place for an override key.

Voltage fluctuation aside, it seems like the same system.
Can you unpack this a bit? What was rough? How much of that was the client not being able to change?

I'm lightly looking into alternatives to WordPress. Obviously CraftCMS come up, but being a paid product - nothing work with that per se - does limit its appeal for some projects / client. So maybe there's a place for Kirby?
That value was calculated and verified using Wikipedia?
Same! It’s why I stopped doing client work more than a decade ago!
I've been in death valley at 121F for hours at a time outside. So long as you have a hat, hydration and salty snacks it is surprisingly bearable. I would rather have that than even 85F with 100% humidity any day.
My question was about CPUs. I am pretty certain my M2 CPU doesn't produce the heat that a GPU does.
Of course. Most thieves break in use the time honored "brick + window" method.

But I was refuting the specific idea that house locks are a tamper evident seal. They are trivially easy to bypass in a tamper evident manner.
The GM EV1 had this solved early on: they didn't use keys at all - just a numeric PIN that you entered on the door and on the center console to start. ;)

Slap your PIN in and hit the RUN button and it'd fire right up.
Startup waste is generally funded from investors though. This seems like it might be funded by government grants which are funded by taxes.
Another reason you have locks is to show intent to keep others out.

You can't shoot someone that walks into your home through an open door.

You can shoot someone that rams your door to open it.
Chicago for example has both. Phoenix, las vegas. As do a number of medium-large cities in the southeast like raleigh, tampa, charleston SC. Maybe not cities that come to mind first when talking about urban centers but they are million+ population agglomerations with plentiful parking and serious pedestrian death problems. Tens of millions of americans live in these "small" cities of around a million, so trends across them end up affecting a huge population.

Another factor is that urban speed limits vary widely in how much they are actually limits. Research is clear on the fact that road design has at least as strong an influence on driver behavior as posted limits do. Without rigorous enforcement & given the wide streets common in these places, driver behavior tends towards interpreting the limit as the minimum speed they are entitled to, rather than the maximum to be attained only when safe.

And finally neither I nor anyone else here know what you've seen so that's a very silly limit to place on the conversation.

> So, you profile your program, and it turns out that 95% of the runtime is caused by malloc/free in tight loops, which you can't get rid of, because they're hidden behind an API which had to choose between encapsulation and efficiency.

I have literally never run into a library that was written so badly that using the library encouraged you to use the API to create millions of small objects. That's what I'm saying. Sure, this can happen, but in reality I've never seen it. Can you show me where this hypothetical scenario is occurring and trashing people's performance? We probably want to avoid using those libraries.

Instead, I usually see encapsulation used like it is in GLFW, or libcurl, or stbi. The encapsulation covers systems and not tiny objects, which encourages the user of the library to not make API calls millions of times or construct millions of tiny objects.

> You don't seem to realize that the StringBuilder was just an example to illustrate this style of encapsulation? Oftentimes you want to encapsulate actual "value structs", where it is sensible to create millions of them in an array.

I did realize this. Encapsulation is typically useful on larger systems. Once you get to the point of millions of objects, you usually have a larger system managing those millions of objects. And ideally, those millions of objects should be POD. If they're POD, encapsulating the data makes no sense at that point, because it makes more sense to encapsulate whatever is managing that data.

> In C, you're forced to choose between following good software engineering practices (=> encapsulation) and getting good performance.

This is a false dichotomy. There are plenty of large C projects that follow good software engineering practices (which is entirely subjective, what is "good"?). Look at any OS kernel, or the libraries I mentioned above.

So, once again, I'm curious if you know of any C libraries (ab)using encapsulation in the hypothetical scenario you've laid out. If there aren't any libraries that do this, then this is a non-issue and attacking the competence of C developers is entirely unwarranted since you've built up a strawman that doesn't exist in reality.

My wife has been making Russian buttercream lately, which uses sweetened condensed milk added to whipped butter. It tends to be less sweet than most varieties which I count as a plus.

I mean, it was probably all in great shape 40 years ago. But 40 years of missed opportunities to replace cabling failing quality checks (if they were even done) is probably taking its toll. I know of many anecdotes of poor quality lines where trouble tickets end up with a pair swap which works for several months, and then you need to swap to another pair. There's only so many spare pairs, but the silver (lead?) lining is that enough customers leave that you can take their good pairs to serve the remaining customers. I've personally experienced the poor line records that mean connecting a new customer might disconnect an old customer, leading to a service call down the street.

> No, its because the west rejects the "wooo" and makes a pill out of the part that works.

No, the west makes a pill out of the part that's commercially profitable, which is a very different set of criteria than "works". Things like shelf life/stability, cost and availability, dose:response curves that are very predictable for the entire human population, etc.

What goes into pills has far more to do with what works for business than what works for people.
As always I think your best move if you want to read a work with many translations available is simply to read the first 2-3 pages (or some other short identical segment) and see which one feels best to you. I have read several and I value them all for different reasons.

I love Pope but wouldn't read him for an "accurate" translation (he didn't know Greek!) and I like Butler's prose but it's a total transliteration, not poetry. My go-to recommendation is Lattimore (not Fagles, which I found dull), but now we have Emily Wilson in the mix too (with a great preface to boot).

Taste them all and go with whichever is best for you - you can always read another later, but your first time for a classic should be enjoyable and natural. Only you can say which one you enjoy most.

A commonly held position is that your existence is meaningless and no one else owes putting some “greater good” on themselves to validate your sensibilities or shield you from growing your own potatoes.

“Commonly held position” is a terrible metric. Look what the primates are doing to their environment due to commonly held positions.

It was once a commonly held position humans serve god kings. Where do these commonly held social norms come from I wonder? Feels very top down and intentional.

Who cares Harvard even exists is a commonly held belief. People just don’t speak such things because of the abuse they take to maintain society.

Please, primates who are destroying themselves; bleat and bray at me more about your moral high ground.
Good on you for following up on the nest to determine the potential aftermath.
Running public services "at a loss" (= tax funded) is the entire premise of a government. Some as wealth redistribution schemes, but most of them because society as a whole is better off if we do so.

If we only put out fires if the property owner has paid their fire fighting fees the fire might uncontrollably spread to other properties, so we are better off just having a public fire fighting service. Every trucking company paying for their own armed escorts is much more expensive than taxes financing a police force that ensures safe travel. Transportation infrastructure, no matter if that's streets, subways or airports, promotes trade and efficient resource use by allowing people and resources to get to places more easily.
A foreigner studying Spanish repeats an insult commonly thrown at Spaniards. A Spaniard very politely informs them about it. The foreigner doubles down instead of, saying something like "Hey, I didn't know that. Sorry for repeating a common misconception".

Mozilla Foundation is a nonprofit whose job is to make the internet better. Part of that is the subsidiary Mozilla Corporation, which makes money and develops Firefox, but the overall nonprofit can do other things. Think EFF, not Google.

While it is a bit weird to be pushing for a proprietary product (Slack) to add a certain feature, I suspect that this was done to 1) make the web better and 2) as a PR act to show off the work they are doing in advocacy.

Your points are valid. But its also valid to say there may be a narrow path towards stopping bloodshed sooner rather than later. The only reason Russia is still fighting in Ukraine is because they believe they have a chance to outlast Western social willpower. Russia would be more willing to accept defeat if NATO gave more open support to Ukraine. Increasing carrot (sanctions relief, oil deals, Crimea compromise, etc.) and stick (supplying more advanced weapons, NATO membership) at the same time might end the war sooner and stop pointless death.
What about an old fashioned mechanical key?

Car manufacturers are directly to blame for the increased theft of cars. It is a win win for them, as it results in higher car sales. If a dood manufacturer would sell doors that can be easily opened, everyone would complain. Far less so with cars.

Well, since tons of open source projects and foundations unfortunately use Slack already, they are being pragmatic, it makes sense.

> Congress is too insulated from their constituents.

+1

When you're running for a district you can slice the population up into various causes and then run on that. It doesn't matter if your platform is "far-X" because if you can scoop up 20% of the population that's a win at the ballot.

Congress really needs to be larger than it is, the citizen:representative ratio should really be fixed at a ratio and not fixed at the #of representatives. Plenty of other countries have more representatives than the US despite a smaller population. Assuming that we picked say 150k citizens: 1 representative then you should also be able to forfeit your vote along with ~150k other people to select a representative.
I'll add onto your list of recs with https://bearblog.dev/ in case someone else sees the comment and would like to find possible hosts for their own blog.

Thank you for your comment. I take your word to heart, I've thought about throwing in the towel and letting someone else do the worrying about hosting but then again, I find it fun to play around with a personal page and if there's ever a need to scale outwards it would be incredibly easy (like if I ever end up wanting to host my own Nethack-server).

Leaded gasoline is an issue because it's a very bioavailable form of lead. It contains tetraeythyl lead, which is extremely volatile and likes to absorb into your cells.

Solid lead, on the other hand, is much more inert. The main danger of working with elemental lead is breathing in dust if you're grinding it.

1.2 million grant for this?

Now I’ve seen grift, but come on. I want to hire their grant writer.

Literally a relay in the starter lead. This looks like one of my afternoon projects, and I’m not even joking. I have a 1990s montero diesel and it leaks power, and I often forget to disconnect the terminal.

So I bought a relay from AliExpress (same one shown in this photo but one size up) and hooked it up with an esp32 and some discrete components.

It senses my phones Bluetooth radio and energises the relay if I turn the key on when I’m within a few feet, as well as any other Bluetooth radios I authenticate.

I can also just turn on the wipers momentarily and it will latch the relay. If the vehicle is not running, the relay unlatches in 15 minutes.

That way I can basically forget that it exists, problem solved. It has been working flawlessly for two years now. The whole thing took me about 3 hours to put on strip board and program, another half hour to enclose and mount it.

Give me an hour more in micropython and I could make it require a passcode entered on your phone with a secret wiper switch sequence as a backup. If I threw a five dollar Hall effect current sensor (as shown in their project) it could require a whole dog and pony show of switch activations to unlock it. Adjusting it to different vehicles would be a one- time calibration sequence like I use for my water flow meters.

I guess I should have applied for a grant.

When I first encountered mini-maps (in Sublime Text, which I still use), I just thought it was just a gimmick that looked cool, but that's about it.

Now, I use it all the time, that's essentially a better scroll bar. In fact, the moment I saw the mini-map on the linked websites, I instantly tried to use it as a scrollbar, and was very disappointed to see that it didn't work.
FWIW, it's only mid July. Not the hottest part of the year typically. Yet we're hitting historical records.
