Your characterization of tinted windows seems to be draped in generalizations and anecdotal evidence(as you stated) rather than an exploration of their practical applications. You draw a line connecting the aesthetics of darkened windows with reckless driving and assert a sense of assumed arrogance on the part of the driver. Yet, you overlook the practical and safety benefits that window tints provide.

Let's disentangle the aesthetics from the usage. To claim that a tinted window is a symbol of militancy or a display of superiority is to judge a book by its cover. A film on glass does not a character assessment make.

Now, onto the practical side of things. It's not merely about beating the heat - though in regions where temperatures soar well above your mentioned 105 degrees, the difference can be crucial. Window tints can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, offering significant protection against skin damage and eye ailments. Furthermore, they reduce glare, enhancing driver comfort and safety.

Your anecdotal observations of tinted-window drivers might be biased by a confirmation bias. You remember the reckless ones because they fit your preconceived notion, and you discount the countless tinted-window drivers who operate their vehicles responsibly because they don't fit the narrative.

There's also a point to be made about privacy - not in service of "militant badassness", but for the sake of personal comfort and security. And while visibility for pedestrians and cyclists is a valid concern, it's worth noting that there are laws stipulating the extent of tinting precisely to address this issue. Complete blackout windows are generally illegal for this very reason.

Finally, to characterize this discussion as a matter of 'rights' may seem overblown, but it highlights a broader point about individual choice and autonomy. It's about finding a balance between personal preferences, public safety, and common good.

How does the fairness of this deal depend on negotiations between Amazon and its drivers?
Perhaps that's also due the lack of a proper standard library like every other language on this planet has.

Great news for the Teamsters, but how much more inflation is this likely to cause?

UPS has to pay for all of this somehow, which means we have to pay for it.
I've been playing it for 20 minutes. It's fun so far.
One good approach is to have separate "byte array" and "string" types, and say, "Strings are always UTF-8. Anything else is a bug. Deal with it."

Then you can have a nice, user-friendly string class for basic UTF-8 text, which is pretty easy. Ignore sorting and grapheme clusters (those probably belong in libraries, and they require fairly large tables). Consider providing a library function to iterate over UTF-8 "characters" (as unpacked 32 bit Unicode code points).

This is one of the sweet spots in language design, and it provides enough structure for third-party libraries to work well together, without everyone reinventing their own string type.

For another good alternative to this approach, see Ruby.
Thanks a ton! Love this community :)

Much better to spend that money gainfully on bomb cores that will never be used, than wastefully on roads, schools and hospitals.
Annoyingly, Java, JavaScript, Windows file paths and more don't quite use UTF-16 (well, even if they did, that would be annoying) — they allow unpaired surrogates, which don't represent any Unicode character. So if you want to represent e.g. an arbitrary Windows file path in UTF-8, you can't; you have to use WTF-8 (wobbly transformation format) instead.
I think you're trying to somehow include fancy concepts and bending your arguments to fit them, which is becoming a bit silly (No, Poe's law doesn't relate to the current conversation).

No, it isn't. Details matter, and if they hiring even 1% too many people, then what else are they getting wrong by 1%? And how many of those things?

The key is that they wouldn't know either. It could be a slow 'death by a thousand cuts' and they wouldn't even know they were bleeding.

This is why companies, even massive companies, generally die eventually. There are very few that last even 50 years without eventually being acquired or bankrupt. And how does it start? Little mistakes, lack of focus, everywhere.

This is what makes it a fair deal. Give and take. A maximalist position from labour would demand UPS churn or retrofit its entire fleet overnight. That's obviously not feasible, even if it makes for great PR.

I can't imagine that Amazon pays any workers well. (They wash their hands because the delivery folks are independent contractors.)

I would imagine that people drive for an Amazon affiliate for a couple years with the goal of being hired by UPS for the higher pay and better benefits. The result is that Amazon will always have a lower quality of service than UPS. (I am sure HN hates UPS, but every driver I've interacted with has been super friendly, and they can sneak packages into buildings like they're ninjas. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for, and honey attracts more flies than vinegar. https://xkcd.com/357/)

I'm more familiar with DuckDB and they've also been doing some great innovation on the SQL front. I don't know offhand if they can also do the forward referencing thing but they allow putting the FROM first and having GROUP BY ALL etc..

It's great to see all this innovation happening in the SQL and Query Language space more generally at the moment.
I agree that it's not a strong win. But from this:

> All cars get two fans and air induction vents in the cargo compartments.

It sounds like all existing vehicles at least get a retrofit to have fans / air in the back?
Well I get that, but I'm curious what would be the "government employees' work product" in this case, using the Supreme Court's chosen phrase. The case you linked is about someone doing their job in a way that his bosses thought was wrong. It just happened to involved speech. I don't see the connection to this case. To the extent that the criticism of the politician was related to that person's work duties, it's because they're paid by a public university to share opinions related to their expertise.

> Taking your word for it regarding HN not liking unions

Don't. HN is far from a monolith on this issue.

To the degree I've seen even a semblance of consensus, it's in animosity towards public-sector unions and gentle support for blue-collar private-sector unions. Where it turns to total anarchy is when we debate unionizing tech workers. (They tend to be fun reads.)
I really hope we see some verification (the opposite) in the coming weeks/days. This is huge!

Love the fact that people still think and work on human centric computing.

There should clearly be some low hanging fruit in revisiting the hypertext concept with the benefit of a few decades of further tech development.

Its not clear though which aspect(s) would be the most beneficial. Eg when scanning text for information and connections, our context is frequently an important factor, but that context is not available to the computer.
HN (generally) doesn't like unions because we're highly paid software engineers who think we're better at negotiation one-on-one than in a group.
I checked my records. I bought it in 2020. So it was the “new model.”

The keyboard Unicomp sold me was complete crap. It failed after a dozen hours of use (just being plugged in to an rPi is in that number) over a few months. Otherwise it sat in its box on a shelf.

It didn’t feel like quality.

It didn’t perform like quality.

Unicomp didn’t stand behind it as if they believed it was quality.

Let's wait to see what the maximum number of A/cm^2 is before determining if that is even necessary.

It's possible that they already normalized the figure, and if that's the case then 125 mA/cm^2 would be 'bad news' in the sense that even though the temperature and pressure are much better than other superconductors the critical current is much, much worse. But given the way the paper is formulated I'm not sure if that is a proper reading and it is very well possible that they are talking about a particular thin film sample (which would make it a small fraction of a square centimeter in cross section) and how much current they passed through that sample. In which case the situation would be much better already, especially if it turns out that the sample was extremely thin and/or narrow.

Too early to tell without more information.

Right, because Tesla is the only company that sees individual car owners as the target market for self-driving, everyone else in the business sees institutionally-owned robotaxi fleets as the target market. Actually, so does Tesla, fairly overtly—though they are behind at actually having auch a thing—they just see individual vehicle owners as a way to defray costs, especially development costs.

They aren't ahead at self-driving, they are just more creative at how they are financing it.

That astrology managed to result in a significant loss compared to "buy and hold" shows that astrology is very effective, unlike the suggested "SMA crossovers" technique.

A strategy that is based on pure chance is going to make, on average, as much as the "buy and hold" strategy, for the time you actually hold the stock. Looking at the "SMA crossover" graph, it looks like the stock is held for about 80% of the time, so, the result is about 25% better than 100% "buy and hold". Good but...

The "moon phases" technique gets zero benefits even though the stock is held for 50% of the time, seems bad right? Now think about it, if it made nothing during the time you held the stock, it means all the valuation must have happened during the time you didn't hold the stock. So all you need to do is to do the opposite of what is suggested: buy on new moon, sell on full moon. In the end, you should get as much as the 100% "buy and hold", but because you only held it for 50%, it is actually twice as good.

So to summarize, here is the ranking. The number corresponds of how much better it is to "buy and hold":

- buy on full moon, sell on new moon => 0
- buy and hold => 1 (reference)
- SMA crossover => 1.25
- buy on new moon, sell on full moon => 2

So, the article got it wrong, done right, astrology is clearly the best.
While this essay serves as an interesting critique of the current state of operating systems and their development, it perhaps falls prey to the very flaw it seeks to highlight - the tendency to oversimplify the complexities inherent in systems software development and to yearn for a 'perfect' solution that is largely a figment of the author's imagination.
You're comparing apples to oranges. Typing is much harder to relearn due to muscle memory. New well designed programming languages become quite popular quickly and go viral when they solve the right problems for developers.

SQL is a very sound querying language originally based on relational algebra and tuple relational calculus. Many attempts have been made in the past to come up with better syntax but they don't go far which might have to do with the fact that authors realize later that SQL is just a thin layer masquerading the mathematical concepts required to retrieve relational data and make certain assumptions without breaking set theory axioms.

One common mistake I see is that developers attempting to create an SQL replacement often approach it in the same mindset as creating yet another general purpose programming language.

Edit: The above is not in reference to PRQL. It's just my anecdotal experience working on several SQL engines, building ones from scratch and working in this domain for 15 yrs.
