It's certainly not the origin of "you can't manage what you can't measure". For a start, Deming is almost a century too young for that.
Oh, yeah, I was. While underground parking does certainly exist, it’s not all that common yet. (Again, quite a few old buildings and lots of smaller housing units …) I’m actually not sure how this would go down in an underground parking structure.
Firefox users don't use profiles, we use something much superior: multi-account containers.
Microsoft could ship its own Python distro within Excel. The biggest problem is that historically Guido / the Steering Council have avoided being involved in how py libs are distribuited, so there are many ways to do everything. But if you do have an opinion and means to enforce it, mantaining a Python environment can be a quite smooth experience.
I began my addiction to a particular game, Island of Kesmai, on Compuserve back in the 80's. It later became Legends of Kesmai (on Gamestorm and AOL) and has since been reborn with several remakes. The current, and best, is Stormhalter (http://www.stormhalter.com/wiki/Main_Page).
> will dump in extra fuel under load to ensure the cylinder doesn't melt

They dump extra fuel to prevent knock. It's hard to melt cylinders.

> can't park in an underground garage with LPG

And yet people park. I haven't heard about an accident in the last 5 years. Maybe it could be managed by an extra detector?

LPG engines could be excellent generators (back ups or range extenders for cars and trucks). The emit less particulate matter and NOx.
In the interview I asked the technical lead, "So, what sort of version control do you use?"

Absolutely. My employer had an influx of GE refugees about 15 years ago. They would pursue this nonsense with considerable zealotry.

>~2/3 of people in the US support single-payer health care

I think that support massively goes down when the likes of fox news runs FUD headline about how people in the UK are dying due to long waiting times, coming to the conclusion that single payer systems are BAD, private-only healthcare is GOOD.

People can easily be manipulated by mass UFD to vote against their own best interests.
Yeah. Swings and roundabouts though; most of the truly long-held property of the royal family has become the Crown estate, and over time the family has had to make much more of its income from that wealth due to the contraction of the Civil List.

Charles himself will only have income from his estate (whereas his mother had income from the Civil List)

What I meant to say is that in the blink of an eye, realistically -- in a couple of generations -- you could and probably will have a situation where a single land-owning family in the USA could end up with a very similar proportion of a _vastly_ larger country.

It's probably in the nature of land-owning for this to happen: someone ends up with all of it, then can't maintain it, and it ends up being sold off or dispensed to the state, then sold off, reaccumulated, and the circle continues.

And I think it's a mistake to see the royal family's land ownership as a source of power and influence. Unfortunately we give them the power and influence for no really good reason; the land is a side thing.
I built a "Control-P" feature for fish that would also be a good trigger for this tool. Basically, you activate the shortcut to run the program, then it will change the directory based on the selection, but restore your original command line after. So you can be halfway through a command before realizing you are in the wrong place. Also, can cd with one fewer keystroke. My version is at [0], but obviously modifiable for other tools like this one.

Seriously? How can it be fully-determined by things we can't detect, let alone measure?
Anyone complaining about STCube has never used anything worse.

My nomination for worst code generator would be MPLab Harmony. I was unfortunate enough to be one of the first victims of the PIC32MZ line, which didn’t have a middleware library, or non-harmony code examples. It was autogenerated code, or read the data sheet and figure out every peripheral yourself. The code generator was so broken even the most basic modifications to get example code running on a custom board would result in non-compilable code. The experience was so frustrating I just respun the board with a different micro.

I’ll never touch any MCU that uses MPLabX again. Bonus points to Microchip for destroying atmel studio in favour of MPLab, now I have yet another family of microcontrollers I will not touch.

One thing I can say about STCube is the code it generates works, and you can always use it as a jumping off point for tweaking the generators code for your exact use case.

One genuine complaint is that the catch all interrupt handling is often too slow actually use, so you end up overwriting the default handlers, or becoming very proficient with DMA.

Another very important thing is to never intertwine your code with the autogenerated code. Keep the application code and the hardware code seperate, and have an actual “HAL” layer in your code. It’s an easy way to prevent your code from getting nuked when you reconfigure, and if you’re not happy with the autogenerated code just sub in your own functions. Best of both worlds.
Curious if these old email addresses that became a tech embarrassment will see a rebound in cachet. "Ooh, a résumé with @compuserve.com. This guy was there at the beginning."
This is easy to demonstrate as false. The US Revolution and many others that followed put far more power into the hands of the average person. And unionized workers earn more almost everywhere you go. Union leaders probably do take more than they deserve, but not as much as the company owners would if you were negotiating as an individual against their organized management and legal team. So yeah, you do have to pay someone to lead your organization. But going without an organization is kind of nuts when the other side pays for one.
It sounds like you have a dysfunctional organisation as much as KPIs are a problem. KPIs and everything around them have been studied to death in more than the last 40 years, so there should be few surprises around when they are useful or not. People and politics are the constant so we never get away from organisations like the one you describe.

Ask HN: What happened to SecuriCAD and what are good alternatives?
I'm looking for best possible solution for building threat models and attack path analysis. I watched few presentations about SecuriCAD by Foreseeti which looked very impressive however their website seems to be down for sometime and looks like they disappeared.

Did they rebranded or dissolved? Are there any other threat modelling tools that have similar functionality to what SecuriCAD was offering?

Well you have to think about it from the company’s point of view. I mean, if you start treating one employee as a human being with emotions and needs, then the rest of them are going to want the same treatment, and then the whole balance sheet immediately gets shot to hell.
That’s also lower than inflation (napkin math) over the same period. Unless you’re already adjusting for it.
> The majority ~70% of wealthy people in the US are self made and didn’t get an inheritance.

Not sure if where you got that number, but even if 30% got their initial wealth from inheritance, that's still a substantial fraction. I've witnessed the phenomenon in person, though unfortunately it wasn't I who was receiving the money!

Even if the majority are self made, that doesn't take away from the point that there is more than one way to wealth, and that it doesn't just boil down to compound interest.

> Also financial advisors, wealth managers, portfolio managers whatever you want to call them are a scam.

They are, and they aren't. Many people, even those "smart enough" to get rich, need someone to manage their finances, and are barely capable of doing it themselves. However, they aren't better off with a housefly as their financial professional. Many financial professionals are bozos, but some do their job well, and when you not only have the wealth to acquire a competent one, but possibly a social network that can connect you to one with a reputation among other wealthy people, then you have a good chance of being better off than a non-rich person picking an off-the-shelf financial advisor.

100% accurate. This post from 2 years ago shows how common this is in America, we have ongoing commentary on it:

What the lamp does is it transfers wealth from fools to charlatans by attaching to it benign, magical, but not logically untrue attributes, in this case, "air purifier". One comment is pretty apt: it purifies as well as a salt lamp.

Not in a technical sense, but in a historical/cultural sense, sure. At the time PC/MS-DOS was propagating out in the public, many of us were also working with machines where the "OS" was a BASIC prompt. And the model and syntax of command interaction wasn't so dissimilar.

But yeah, it's a bit of a hand waving generalization.
I feel this article almost do more harm than good. It paints a picture that you need to "sacrifice" something to use Fx and lists various "problems".

For instance it mentions how troublesome it is to use profiles as a "problem". Don't. Use containers. Hundred times more smooth than profiles. Hence why no one cares about making profiles in Fx better, there is already a better solution to the problem profiles solve.

Never had problems with font rendering. The download manager being different isn't a "problem", and even Chrome is changing it to become more like Fx's [0]. So it's not like Fx's version is "bad", just different.

I'd rather have an article on "Switching from Chrome to Firefox? Here are some tips on great features in Firefox".

Like how to use the multi-account containers I mentioned. Or how the address bar ("awesome bar") in Firefox is so much greater than Chrome's in finding stuff (probably because Google wants you to do a google search, not find stuff from your own history or bookmarks). On how Sidebery or other tree-style tabs can make the experience so nice. etc.

Easier said than done, unfortunately. In suburbs, that'd require completely changing zoning, adding public transit, and waiting for new stores to be built in or near neighborhoods. In rural areas...I don't even think you can fix it, there's no infrastructure by design. (in cities, this usually isn't insurmountable, so there it'd just be incremental improvements)

The biggest roadblocks are the zoning and the public transit, because NIMBYs will come out of the woodwork to prevent any work being done. What it comes down to is that the people who can make laws affecting DUIs and the people who can lessen car dependency in an area aren't really the same people, so it's much more difficult to get done.
Now if they could only fix the issue where dates are converted into scientific notation. For the past 10 years I've been getting a steady stream of excel files with sometimes thousands of dates that are formatted incorrectly. And there is literally no "easy" way to fix this.

The only use of JS as of now is 1. storing URL source param (optional), and 2. to prevent redirection on pressing 'submit'. This one I can probably work upon. I've used tailwind CDN (was warned not to on prod). Didn't know it gets blocked too, as evident from the ugly formatting + those huge SVGs.

I love Firefox. The only time I struggle it's because it is the only browser today that correctly implements CORS. This is a good thing. But it means broken middle boxes and MiTM enterprise tech (like Zscaler) should fix their stuff rather than pointing their smelly fingers at Firefox.

Mozilla should up its game in educating the public that Edge and Chrome aren't following the standards correctly. This seems IMHO pretty important in a world where everything relies on the browser to sandbox things.
Given that the info we have is that the CEO's interview involved a silly amount of questioning about college grades that were two decades old, I think that what anyone could tell is not that it's never going to come up again, but that it was way more important to that workplace than most others. You could reasonably be concerned that it would affect how you'd be viewed by the management, and affect your opportunities there.

US federal budget currently allocates around 1 trillion dollars for various welfare programs. NASA's entire budget is 32 billion. Please explain how gutting all space-related activities to boost federal social services by a mere 3% is going to contribute meaningfully to solving your list of major issues.

Also bear in mind that this is federal social services. Once we tally state and municipal level social service programs, the amount of resources dedicated to space-related activities is a rounding error.

I use different Safari profiles when browsing work related websites. For example, I have my personal Apple ID and Microsoft account, but for work I need to sign in with another. It's handy to use a separate profile, so one doesn't need to constantly switch. Another aspect is bookmarks - for work, I need all kinds of company tools to be easily accessible that don't belong among my personal favourites.

> Not sure how natural gas is stored though.

Mostly stored underground, but it's also shipped and stored in a liquefied state at -162C. Propane is one of the components of natural gas, so I would think any facility that is able to store natural gas should be able to store propane easily.

I support a domestic ban on TikTok, and this is embarrassing. You're not supposed to be worse than the country you say is spying on your citizens.

I'm not a mechanical engineer, but for one I have driven my father's LPG-converted car, and the cylinder didn't melt so far, so I think this is already more-or-less under control. Many car vendors in the EU (especially south and east) offered LPG-petrol bi-fuel powered cars out of the box. (I know of Dacia and Fiat for sure, and according to my brother LPG converted hybrid Priuses are popular in Poland for insanely cheap operations by cab drivers for example).

For engines getting smaller: the LPG operation of petrol engines provides lower power output (and lower torque), so an uptick in LPG powered (dual fuel?) cars would probably mandate slightly different engines sensible (bigger ones), the market would surely adapt to it.

E85 would also be fine if it wouldn't be manufactured from intensively farmed monocultural agricultural products, which make it totally non-sustainable and non-renewable factoring in the sustainability problems of industrial agriculture (soil erosion, carbon depletion of soil, death of soil microbiome, groundwater depletion, etc)

The parking ban for LPG in closed garages is a real problem, I have faced it myself. Though it is justifiable, but then it would also be justified for the BEVs as there were cases already where (heat from) a battery fire compromised the structural integrity parking complexes, so it is a manageable risk probably, and probably mostly legislative.
"paid by your government" = we pay taxes and elect a government to manage those funds for many purposes, one of them is so when WE get sick (the taxpayers) OUR money take care of us.

>>Nobody is "forced" to be unprofitable. If a business is unprofitable it can shut down.

Check out the state of chicken farming, where chicken producers corral farmers take on huge amounts of debt to grow bigger to meet their requirements, then squeeze them hard, to the point of bankruptcy. The only winning move is to not play, but that means not selling to the buyers who control the market so likely losing the family farm. It's become just a matter of whether you lose it this year, or after a few years of churning under the producer's debt load.

There are numerous ways that a large monopoly can abuse their position of power such that the only real choice for smaller players is to play along in a losing game.
