I ported my friend's programming language from Python to TypeScript[1], and its one of the projects I'm proud of. Another (scrapped) one would be my CLI Jed translation file editor, written in NodeJS. It was scrapped due to inefficiency and the lack of motivation to work on it.

This should be obvious to anyone with eyes too. Go look at a neighborhood with no or low through traffic and extremely old roads are in good condition. Meanwhile a nearby through-fare, unless constantly repaired and patched, will be falling apart.
I do not blame 60 year old laws. At some point before 60 years, voters and their representatives become responsible for not changing the law.
Heavy EVs cause more tire wear. I've seen articles claiming that particulate pollution from tires on EVs is a problem. I can think of a few other reasons to want lighter EVs. But you need a really heavy vehicle to be the dominant cause of roads wearing out.
A lot of things are 'terrible for society' but are extremely convenient or desirable.

Cheap flights, high volume international shipping, social media, alcohol and other addictive substances, high sugar food.

For those of you with comfortable, white collar, first world jobs with strong opinions about large cars--you could reduce your personal carbon footprint by 10-20x by moving to India or Vietnam, etc. Are you going to do that?
>A lot of things that people want, not enough are willing to actually pay for.

Except in a capitalistic system, owners will not be satisfied with ANY price because the number has to keep going up.
I think you want both to be included, but yeah something like SURCHARGE = ((WEIGHT-2500)/1000 + (VALUE-30000)/10000) * CONSTANT. Maybe even make it exponential to discourage upper-middle class conspicuous consumption (think G-classes) since it'll cost them $20k to register a $200k, 5klb vehicle. In the US we actually give (federal) fuckin tax breaks (sec 179) on beastly luxo-trucks to SMBs, that needs to be offset by massive reg increases too.
I (and everyone else) have known that text in VR is really hard and technically demanding since I received my first Oculus from the first kickstarter.

Not sure we can judge how well Apple has solved this extremely hard problem until we actually can put our eyeballs in the product. I agree the MQP is not up to the task.

(also, judgements based on pointing a camera through the lens are extremely uninteresting since cameras aren't at all designed for that kind of use case and do not give a good idea of the subjective impression of the quality of the VR, which is ultimately all that matters)
"I've done the math."
I haven't killed anyone by any means, so I'm not morally culpable of anything. But my moral obligation to protecting my family supersedes any moral obligation I have to protecting strangers.
Probably more practical to rent from your neighbors using something like Getaround or Turo.
You'll have to look at individual crash safety ratings; but, if memory serves me, large SUVs have worse ratings than smaller cars, in general. That could have changed or I could be wrong, though.

Also, large SUVs are waaay more likely to roll in the event of a "dodge to not die" scenario.
The TOS has been updated to state the following:

Rendering your UI entirely in a canvas tag isn't a new idea. If you have ADA compliance requirements or just want to build E2E tests, good luck.
True though but the article does say alternative math classes and I don’t see why to not have an understanding of Linear Algebra when things like number theory and graph theory are on the list.
I wonder if we've reached that point for LLMs/AI/ML yet. Sometimes it definitely seems like the discussion on HN is very influenced by the VC fad of the day.
The poster you are responding to is referring to misdesigned Obama-era CAFE efficiency standards, which created an incentive for companies to build bigger, heavier cars and classify them as light trucks or SUVs, because the customers did not like the cars that met the norms for the “car” classification. This is very much a federal issue.
You mean….Turning your head isn't faster that alt+tabbing?next you’re going to tell me visible, but unnecessary, application windows increase cognitive load! Sheeesh, let me bake my face in several hundred watts of infrared heat 12 hours a day. I look so damn productive!
I often wonder how construction gets done in Europe. Everyone in the US who works construction or even has the possibility of maybe one day needing to carry a shovel claims they absolutely must drive a truck with a 3-ton curb weight everywhere they go. How does Europe build anything, without these massive trucks everywhere?
I must've used this a dozen times in the last few months helping friends. It never fails to amaze me. Has options like a btrfs layout with sane defaults, choice of DE and Tiling, etc.

I'm writing this from an installation I made today using it.
Maybe flip it around then, offer shelter for homeless dogs with a human sized bed attached. Everyone gets to feel morally righteous and hopefully the job still gets done.
Yes, and not only the factories, but the entierty of the supply chain, combined with war profiteers driving prices artificially even higher.

Contrary to the freshwater meme Inflation is rarely primarily a monetary phenomenon, but it's even less the case during a war.
It was intended by the car companies. As usual, the regulatees understood their business much better than the regulators.
It takes would take some strong avoidance of reality and logic to clamp down on people's individual safety (by mandating smaller vehicles) to 'help save' the ~ < 50 children that get run over (BY ALL VEHICLES, incidentally) every year.

The biggest driver of SUV purchases in my social group is mothers who are keenly aware that more mass = more protection for their children in the event of a collision.

Of course, this makes things worse for the other party in the collision and leads right back to the same arms race in car size, or worse since a hollow shell can win an ego display but only a wrecking ball can win a collision. We should probably tax this, but I expect that people with big cars will kill the tax before the tax kills big cars. The eventual answer will probably lie in city centers or neighborhoods that ban or heavily disincentivize big cars within their borders.
Because we can safely assume that under normal atmospheric conditions and within the distances we are talking about, light travels in straight lines and the SUV is too high thus blocking some of it from reaching the drivers eyes. I can't pull the sources now, but there was a study discussed here on HN a couple months ago showing an analysis of how this plays out.
How in the world would any common Russian trust an airplane in this current sanctioned state in Russia and fly in one?!
Are people that brainwashed to trust their leader to get on a plane that doesn’t have brakes?!
I've been thinking of upgrading it to E5-2xxxv2 as well, for years now heh. BUT, I think I'll just let it slide for maybe another half a year or year and retire it altogether. It has been really an amazing run also since 2011 and I am quite positive I could still get maybe few to five years out of it.
sadly yeah
I built a two-story straw bale house with lime exterior stucco and clay plaster on the interior walls.

Many details in the house use reclaimed/salvaged lumber (fake box beams on the ceiling, deep window sills in every window, wood paneling, fireplace mantel, pantry shelves, etc).

I had construction skills at the start of the project due to my dad who is a contractor. But through the project I started doing some finer woodworking and ended up with some hand tool woodworking skills and was able to all the trim: recessed baseboard (bent around curves some places), door casings, window details, some custom cabinetry, etc.
Yeah, it’s basically not a real concern compared to semis.
Great, EV taxes can pay for EV infrastructure and contribute towards road maintenance!

Nothing unfortunate about it at all. Why shouldn't an EV Hummer or Ford Lightning pay up for the weight on the road?

This is significant because historically the most common way for men to avoid conscription was to emigrate for school/work and just not come back until they'd acquired dual citizenship (which usually* exempts you from conscription).

A nice side effect of this is a pretty significant brain drain, when your people are motivated to leave because they want to avoid 1-3 years of military service for basically no pay (3 if you're selected to serve as an officer, so Doctors, Engineers, and I believe certain other specializations, 1 otherwise).

It's funny (and depressing) to think about how were it not for some luck and some hard work, I'd probably be in my first of 3 years of conscription right this second. Instead I'm on HN :)

Not immoral, just more culpable. Is it immoral not to kill oneself as being alive makes one more likely to kill someone?
If I could guess, the gift is in a box somewhere in her garage/attic/etc, too nice to throw away but too awkward to display.
Get to know the product's hidden faults better than the devs - that way when you come to tell me how awesome it is (because it IS awesome, right?), you can start by telling what sucks about it

Sounds great! I’m glad my family and our disabled daughter will have to pay more because our wheelchair accessible vehicle is so heavy. I really appreciate your opinion here.

After all, my wife is being very selfish to want to get a terrible gigantic minivan so my four year old can visit with friends and so my wife can transport her without literally popping a hernia (has happened once already!) to move our daughter in and out of the wheelchair on a regular basis.

Maybe I’ll encourage her to get a basket to transport our kid on our backs to get around in a convenient world where we don’t have parking spaces, or perhaps we can have a top unloading vehicle to get her out since the minimum width has been reduced when a handicap spot isn’t available (which considering how many elderly people there are is quite often when we go shopping).

I’m glad developers are forced to make the USA handicap accessible, and would encourage you to consider the knock on effects of the less advantaged when heavy handed legislation is passed to ban “wasteful” vehicles. Minivans and SUVs being mass produced and thus relatively affordable (although still quite expensive) are a ticket for people like my daughter to be able to even leave their houses on a regular basis.
I welded a huge bike trailer out of old bikes and EMT. For the coupling between the bike and the trailer I used a two bike forks, and JB welded the hubs together to create a universal joint. It worked wonderfully and I could haul 20 or more bikes on it.
It's a strange mixture, and it's anticipating future needs as well as current things like malware scanning. Probably Zoom and all the other mainstream meeting services will have to use AIs on audio and video streams in due course, in an arms race against other AIs being used to generate audio and video spam, fake job interview candidates, scam calls from people that look and sound like your own family, and such things. On the other hand, who wants their daily standups scrutinised by facial sentiment analysis and posted to monthly management reports, which is the sort of thing it seems Microsoft might do.

I don't think Zoom is at fault for wanting or needing to use AIs or plan to, on the streams. They might even be ahead of the game. But their communication about it is rather weasely at the moment, and their COO and CISO comments on here don't help with that.
I cannot argue with bad token, premine - I have not researched but I believe it. "VC coins" in general have these issues it seems. Just trying to say that not every shitcoin is trying to get people to give them their biometrics, that is a separate issue in my opinion.
Trucks are not stupid, they can tow. I don't want to be a european pod dweller, I want to have an RV, a boat and get the most of my life.
And in CA, they are generally required to do so (though sometimes have to be sued to comply — see PAUSD's recent experience: https://padailypost.com/2023/03/25/lawsuit-sparks-debate-ove...).

I think it's monorepo vs multi-repo, and since Linux maintainers update the drivers (I believe) when internal APIs change, and the internal APIs are not stable, monorepo seems more practical.
I am a heavy UHaul user, and at least here, it is crucially important to know which location to use. Where I am, some locations are consistently fine, others are okay but busy, and some are busy and atrocious.
I'm interested in learning how to do this kind of work. I ultimately plan to install it in a van or trailer, but I'm thinking of starting with some kind of portable solar system to use while camping. Do you have any recommendations for resources to learn about these types of systems?
Considering how gun ownership makes you more likely to be killed by a firearm, I'd say yes, it's very rational to not own one.

That is the key. Start with something simple. Yes, a template is a good idea. If you want to go just one step farther, a static site generator may be better. There are dozens (hundreds [0]) of them, from quite simple to more complex. Start with something simple where you write your content in Markdown and you can easily change to a different SSG if it turns out you don't like the one you chose.

(Note: that list is overwhelming; you don't need to go through it. Order by popularity and look at the top 3-5 at most. Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby... Personally I'm using Zola [ https://www.getzola.org/ ] for a couple of sites, but that's just me.)
counterpoint: yes it will
Agreed, especially if those people are my grand grandchildren, its my responsibility. And if I need to live in the 70s for some aspects of my life well so be it.

I don't want future generations role-playing Fallout. So I try my best to reduce the emissions.
Bike, have less and smaller cars.

Its not the middle ages and you still can have a quality life.
isn't rust kind of a nonstarter for cfg representations which are irreducibly cyclic? yes, one can use the pointers are array-indices thing, but ..
Some people also actually need a large car. If you have a 6 person household, the only thing everyone will fit in is an SUV, a minivan, or a full size van.
would you consider sharing the python code?
Im just not on board with this at all. Ive driven for 35 years WITHOUT an accident, and I dont look at my phone while driving. IF EVERYONE DROVE WITHOUT A PHONE deaths by car would DRAMATICALLY DECREASE. Yet we are yelling that cars are too big, completely ignoring the design decisions made when building the cars. Even "small" cars like the BMW 3 series have grown into large cars now mainly so that they will pass crash tests. Cars are markedly safer now than in the 1960s and 1970s when cars were enormous boats, look at the 2005 impala vs 1955 impala video for a great example.

I cant drive even a small trip without someone on the road causing extra traffic because their IG or whatever is too important to ignore, but big cars are the problem... OK...
LOL. notepad.exe too. now that you mention it, the command line allows you to select text with the mouse. so technically cmd.exe is a GUI
1. Books or e-books, send books to countries with low literacy rates.

2. Get non-fossil fuel energy to poor countries. They are burning coal or without power due to cost/availability. They still need to go thru all the ages richer countries have gone thru.

3. Clean water. Feel free to research water wars and Wikipedia doesn’t list all of them.

4. Weather forecasting. It is not great especially for disasters. I think the goal is 2 weeks of accurate forecast globally.

5. Getting people together without social media. Like a church but not religious, it is good to have a network of people to speak to.

6. Wicked problems: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_problem

7. Natural language processing. We are repeatedly doing work that has already been completed or solved but we do not know about it. Ex: underground flowering and underground fruiting palm “discovered” but known to locals for a very long time.

8. Communications. It seems to be the problem almost always. Too much data to digest, not enough, frequency of data, etc.

9. tried to get to 10 but just search: difficult problem, Unsolved problems in (math, physics, philosophy, etc)
That’s not often true in sex work relying on a venue, and certainly not nevada, and the few women run organizations have the same power dynamics and labor problems as all the others

All this conjecture that its exclusively a male run coercive trait exacerbating anything
We could make it more expensive to think that way for sure.
The article has fair points, but after trying OCaml and Rust... I chose Rust. Without going into huge amounts of detail, a compiler is more than simply a parser/ast/code generator and there are other aspects to consider such as the richness of the ecosystem, editor support, etc. Also, I suspect the author is more familiar with OCaml than Rust as you wouldn't typically box everything but likely use an arena for the AST. In the same way, I am more familiar with Rust than OCaml, so some of the warts I observed may be to lack of familiarity. As such I suspect the authors perspective is biased...as is mine. Nothing wrong with that.
I find it interesting how cars and athletic shoes have both enlarged.

Modern SUVs have become oversized and even look like the oversized basketball shoes.
I feel like the perspective is off. Sure people are trading cars for SUVs and trucks. But does anyone else see that they don't really make full size cars anymore? Cars have been shrinking for decades. Even the "full size" cars today have cramped interiors. Perhaps if consumers had better options for cars, then they wouldn't be buying larger vehicles. Cars like my 89 Caprice were a nice size.
How does one exit out of 3d vim?
My point is that American laws encourage large cars.
I think it's simply normalisation of deviance.

At N=4, I have observed substantial reduction in required average per unit parental engagement. However, we found that parental unit genetics increased the probability of encountering a different instruction set (autism), which involves recompiling a large fraction of the standard library for one unit.
I ended up going the opposite direction. My 11th grade trigonometry teacher forced me to repeat trig despite my having gotten a B. I was angry at the time! She did me a favor because by the time I got to Calculus in University it was very intuitive and I didn’t have much of a problem with it.
Consider the larger vehicle shown in the picture at the top of the linked article; now imagine a child before the adolescent growth spurt standing in front of it — how far away does the child have to be, for any part of them to be visible to a driver sitting in the driver's seat?
Yup, He's also a person who's spent an hour talking (on Cortex) about how much he and CGPGrey enjoyed using the Meta Quest Pro for having work meetings together virtually. So he understands the comparisons fairly well.

His review probably made me more excited than anything else to give it a try.
Fleet economy standards are based on the footprint of the vehicle. The bigger it is the lower the MPG has to be. It’s an unintended side effect of regulation.
Have you read the book? What is your experience?
Most of the world's bandwidth is being used to stream Netflix and Youtube. I think the web will be OK if my site sends a network request for an 87KB script every now and then.
I don't mean to sound glib, but for basically every subject on that list (and then some) there are multiple instances of video lecture series on the topic on Youtube. I could recommend some specific ones if I had my list handy, but it's a Google Doc and our work network blocks access to Google Docs / Google Drive / etc.

Just try searching Youtube though, for "<subject name> lectures" and then sample what you find to see if you like the instructor's style.

Along with that, there are those "Schaum's Guides" for all (or nearly all) of these subjects as well. Go through a lecture series on the topic and follow along in the corresponding Schaum's Guide and you should be able to make quite a bit of progress.

Brilliant might also have some useful stuff.

And lastly, check Alibris for used copies of older textbooks. A texbook that costs $150.00 for the "current" (in use) edition can often be found for like $10.00 for the previous or earlier edition, since there is no real demand for those anymore. And if you're not in a formal class, you don't need to care about the specifics of the edition. So save some money and find a nice cheap copy to use.
Can it run untrusted worker code in "sandbox iframe" mode? Something like jailed. Or do these both go together?
Many roads in rural areas are unimproved and the extra clearance is a necessity. Towing moderately heavy stuff like boats also work better with the higher frame of an suv. So, about the same internal size plus these benefits makes it the best choice for me. Mine is 20 years old though, so I suppose I’m in negative status territory.
I’ve noticed the same actually, it started about a month or so ago.
I hate the mentality of "bigger car is safer for me and my family". It is safer because you will have more mass and in the event of a collision likely do more damage to the other vehicle. It is a mass/kinetic force arms race when people are using that as a reason for vehicle purchase. Similar logic can be applied to why many US citizens buy guns.
Or humans thought it was a gift from god and immediately used it to make a weapon
