> replaced by SUVs because of... EPA emissions standards.

That's the first time I hear this argument. I thought that SUVs replaced them because car makers found that they can justify a bigger price on a bigger, heavier vehicles. Intuitively an SUV should emit more (heavier vehicle, more wind resistance).

I know that John Deere used EPA emissions standards as a smoke screen for them of their unwilling to allow third-party repairs on their tractors. Perhaps they are using the same maneuver here?
Bicycles are not a replacement for cars in all situations, uses, or weather. You could make lighter vehicles, but that’s equally true for combustion vehicles.
Indeed, the LGPL should never have been needed, because LGPL is the correct variant of GPL and the standard GPL should have been identical to what LGPL is now.

Even with its illogical theory about the coverage of "combined" works, not even the GPL covers the programs that use an interface provided by a GPL program, but which are distributed only separately from it, like a shared library or a kernel module.

So the NVIDIA kernel modules have never been incompatible with the GPL.

The fight against non-GPL kernel modules has nothing to do with the GPL, but it is strictly the creation of certain kernel developers.
Good question indeed.

One thing I could imagine is that Linux is giving preference to using the values in the DisplayID block as it's the newer standard, and since EDID/DisplayID compliance has improved over time the logic may be "the newer one is more likely to be correct". In the meantime perhaps Win/Mac continue to look at the classic EDID data, and if they do, it likely gets less test coverage from manufacturers.

Pure speculation.

Edit: From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/co...

> Windows does not support DisplayID 1.x blocks, and always ignores them.

No explanation is given.

The LG display sends a DisplayID 1.2 block.
The reason I mention it is because some people don't really care about display quality. I know basically none of my colleagues do. They'll see a MBP and go "yeah, it looks better. so?". But they do care if half the things don't work (think borked wifi or no webcam). So, for people like this, I find it's a good data point. And even though I do care about display quality, given my usage pattern, this isn't much of an issue in practice, since 99% of this PC's usage is tethered to a high-quality external screen. If I had a gorgeous MBP, I'd still be looking at the same monitor.

The battery doesn't last as long as an M mac, either. But then again, I rarely use it away from a desk. I could technically use one of those mini pcs that I'd cart around, but for the 1% of the time when I do use while out and about, it's a good compromise.
If a business cannot exist without polluting the commons, should it really exist?
That sounds about right.

There also used to be these computer shows (Ken Gordon?) at local event centers where vendors would have all sorts of parts and CDs for sale. But mostly you bought your big ad-filled computer magazine and called a number. By late 90s, online ordering was coming in. Local "computer stores" (or camera stores or...) were frankly all showing their age by the late 80s or so.
The solution to, the government is extrajudicially spying on our transactions and without due process blocking people from their finances, is not a system that uses an immutable public ledger. It’s reforming the law to protect people’s right to privacy and due process.

Ignoring solving the problem of the government not respecting people’s right to privacy and due process is not acceptable to me in my opinion. Saying Ethereum has private transactions isn’t any different than telling someone whose bank account was frozen without due process that they should just use cash.
I guess it's going to sound offensive, but that question sounds like it was devised by someone rather talentless.

I've been working on my computer skills for over 30 years. And my guitar playing. My song writing. Hell, hundreds of other things. What else do you do with your life?
The worst part is they have the resources to make a browser that people want, without having to shove it upon everyone. If they did the following in some alt timeline, I'd be a happy Edge user:

- Stuck to EdgeHTML and Chakra for a better diversity of web technologies

- No bloat, tracking, data siphoning, sign in pressure, sketchy financial services, bing integration shitware

- Cross platform (Win/OSX/Lx at least)

- Open source so we know there's no funny business

That would be a genuinely interesting browser that would have a chance of selling itself.

Instead we get a poor Chrome reskin that offers minimal incentive to use it.
> generating revenue by ad placements in 3rd party apps

What worked for websites doesn't work for apps. Have you seen apps with ads built into them? They look horrendous. I usually uninstall them within 5 seconds of seeing them.
I think it's awesome that DIY options are becoming more readily available. I'm t2d, but have a relatively hard time with glucose control overall. If I stick to eggs, meat and green veg, then I don't need much beyond the weekly Trulicity and daily Basaglar.

If I have anything else, beyond the various food intolerance issues I have, I'm also experiencing Gastroparesis, which means what I eat may hit sooner, later or much later... as much as 20+ hours later, so I usually have to take a lighter tough to insulin and be more diligent about followup checks. It's a literal roller coaster. At least having a Continuous Glucose Monitor (cgm) makes it easier to track.
In europe we regard the cars you mention as quite large already.
So with zero substantiation from the OP (who admitted this), you believe this explanation and you've now connected it to some company trip to South Korea you once didn't go on?
Not sure I count as having an opinion that matters, but the answer is yes, always.

Yes there is always room (there are ten BILLION people on Earth and most of them aren't even fully online yet)(America isn't the only country in the World, we just act like it), yes, it is always worth it..if only for the learning experience and yes, you should take all the previous responses with a grain of salt.

Yes, even mine. There will always be someone to turn you down, discourage you (actively or sneakily) there will always be an Edison, and you will always find folks in your way simply for the sheer h*k of it.

But if you really think there is something necessary in what you are attempting, then only opinion that truly matters is yours.

Don't let them stop you.
I don't think the typical Tesla Model Y buyer is likely cross-shopping against a Rogue.

Unless they're dead-set on an EV, they're much more likely cross-shopping the Model Y ($48K base MSRP) against a luxury ($57K base, $62K base, $67K base) SUV than an economy ($27K base MSRP) SUV. If they are dead-set on an EV, they might cross-shop against the Ariya ($43K base, but also 4323 lbs).
That's been my frustration as well. I live in city and only drive on weekends, so I'd absolutely love a little 4 door AWD electric hatchback, but the US car market pushes people like me into hybrid crossovers like RAV4 and the CRV.

Not giving the user choice is a form of not respecting the user when talking about basics such as "don't save a document which came in a normal format into some proprietary nonsense unusable outside of an Apple device". This is actively hostile design.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are more as of yet undiscovered limitations that they've added in that are just pure money grabs with no technical merit.
> I'm not pro apple here. I'm anti the enshittification of everything

That's a highly contradictory stance. Accepting one brand of enshittification to solve another, less-significant problem is an indefensible position. You can't ignore Apple's arbitrary shite while complaining about the prevalence of other arbitrary decisions, it's a go-nowhere fallacy. There is no point; you are just promoting something that you think can help you, and then refusing to rationalize it in the greater context beyond browsers.

There's no reason to paint this as an "enemy of my enemy" situation, either. You either think browser clients are a powerful tool that deserves better scrutiny, or you think the status quo is fine. Nobody is putting on armor and picking up a sword to go to war for their favorite corporate-sponsored browser. If anyone has you believe that, they're probably manipulating you.

Scrum is good if you have moderately dysfunctional stakeholders or moderately dysfunctional developers. Otherwise it's not needed.
I can see that it tracks your eyes. Is it also stereoscopic?
While valid, the problem being pointed out still requires a representative to do so, and I was just making the point that if the representative has experiences or behaviors that are inconsistent with the essence of the problem they're trying to address, it ought to be brought up. For an individual wearing a lanyard with the problem statement being, "there are too many lanyards in the world", you are well above your means to inquire on his participation within the problem firsthand, and how they're contributing to it (or lack thereof).

You are right that Tu Quoque is often used to silence the problem statement representative, but it shouldn't become a go-to card for individuals to claim when they're hypocrisy is pointed out (which I've seen, not saying it did here).
That's only true for triplet infants that require bassinet-style seats and even that might not be the case if you look hard enough. I had twins and a 3-year old in the back seat of an 1990 Infiniti G20. There are slim car seats specifically made for three in the back. It's tight, but it works.

I agree about wagons though. Subaru still makes them. The Lexus CT200h is pretty much a wagon. It would be nice to see more "crossovers" that took more from the sedan side, however, none of the modern ones have jump seats except (maybe ironically) the Tesla Model 3.

We've graduated to four kids which eliminates the vast majority of vehicles from our set of options. Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, and GM all make ≥6 passenger vehicles that are not-minivans, but the options are very limited and put you into the SUV category.
> adding more data to the map itself

I'd love to but it would eat into my work time and I'd get a bad performance review.
Batteries are a decent portion of the weight of EVs. I would think an argument could be made that if the weight of an internal combustion vehicle is based on an empty tank, an EV should be able to exclude the battery from the total weight.
It's also great to stretch 1.5-week tickets into two-week tickets since after you merged it all there is no time to pick up some other thing.

What stops the bank from taking out their own policy and charging a higher interest rate on the mortgage to make up for it. Offer two interest rates: One rate for insured homes, one rate for uninsured homes. If that were offered, I'd definitely take the higher rate and choose to have the bank insure my home: Mortgage interest is tax deductible but home insurance isn't.
Yes, that's a good one. I'll need to look for an article that describes that well.

It's been worth it to me. I pay for NextDNS, Youtube Premium, and Kagi and the web feels so much better. From the threads here about taking your life minutes back I've also installed SponsorBlock for Youtube. Life's too short and brainpower too valuable to waste on all the crap. That is the value proposition. How much is your time worth? How much is avoiding wasted mental energy worth?
One of the four parties in the ruling coalition has rural voters as their main constituency. This weirdness might be the result of them negotiating to keep the cost of driving a tractor around low. I'm not sure what they are doing on the local roads, but I see them a lot when driving outside the city.
Roads also break down on their own, though. The large majority of roads will see very little or no semi traffic, and their upkeep is entirely for the sake of light vehicles. In the north, where freeze-thaw costs much more, the impact of trucks is much smaller.

One potential easy fix is to zero the federal tax on gas and make up the difference in diesel tax: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=10&t=10

Then mandate that vehicles over X weight can't use gasoline unless they have a special exemption. Not ideal, since the revenue still only vaguely goes towards the highway system and doesn't pay for the whole thing, but hugely improved.

The exemption thing is possibly an issue but I don't think it would price out new diesel light vehicles (and IMO, that possibility is just... unimportant) if you were careful about removing the tax on pumps that aren't accessible to heavy vehicles. I believe some states do similar things already, but most of them instead have some weird reimbursement process.
The average Chinese was locked down for less than the average American, and while the lockdowns were far more severe, they weren't much worse for the economy.

2021 was a great year for Chinese exports especially due to COVID. It's one of the countries that suffered the least economic damage, and it's exports actually grew immensely compared to previous years.
We have tried 2-3-4 week iterations, but keep coming back to 2 weeks. It's enough time to do something, but not so much people can get lost off track for a long time. But, we're also ok incrementally delivering features. No single feature has to be done in 2 weeks. Some take many iterations.

Also agree with minimal meetings. 1-2 meetings/iteration. When new people start we'll add some office hours time every other day as needed until they get up to speed.
It takes very little effort to ask a question like this and an essentially unbounded amount of effort to answer it to the satisfaction of the asker, so please be understanding if this isn't as much depth as you're looking for. I'll answer in three ways:

The first reference for this assertion is anecdotal. I've been a professional dev for 13 years and grew up with family members and friends in the same line of work. I've seen and heard of many, many projects built in different languages and anecdote after anecdote has been in the direction of people getting more done more quickly in higher-level languages. Writing similar things in Elixir/Clojure/etc goes faster than it does in Ruby/Python/JavaScript, which goes faster than using Java/.Net, which goes faster than using C/Fortran/Pascal. You haven't been around for those anecdotes I've heard, but a public one you may be familiar with is Discord. They scaled to over 5 million concurrent users on just 7 server engineers IIRC. Two years later, at a much larger scale, they still only had 4 engineers focused on infrastructure and 40 total: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19238221. How many cases can you think of where a team of 7 Java or Python devs built something equivalent?

Secondly, there's research. Google "Function Point Metrics". Most research on programming productivity is paywalled but I shared one paper that isn't on one of my first Elixir-focused YT videos 5 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e2_NXLxi-E&t=412s. Obviously this isn't perfect since it doesn't include what is appropriate for what domains or how well they scale with project size. Still it's a useful data point, as are pure measures of expressiveness: https://redmonk.com/dberkholz/2013/03/25/programming-languag...

Finally, thinking from first principles, why would anyone be adopting newer languages if they didn't offer some advantages over older ones? Why would certain features, such as pattern-matching and macros regularly be adopted by languages of the past 15 years, despite being very rare in languages created in the 90s? Furthermore, why would startups—for which productivity is a matter of survival—be early adopters? The simplest explanation, in my opinion, is that there really are some productivity advantages and sometimes those advantages are enough to overwhelm the difficulty in learning something new and working in a smaller ecosystem.
Replace side hustles with "parent of toddler age children," or with "second full-time job" is a more realistic measure of commitment, and I'm in the same boat as OP.

The above should be and will be the top comment in this thread, because it's the only advice I can think of that has worked so far.

The benefits of learning to say no generalize to many other areas. Although I like to think of it inversely, as making my "yes"es very hard, and thus every no becomes a reaffirmation of a higher-value yes I had made in the daylight of reflection and conviction.
I haven't done a ton of Scrum in my career, but my observation of it, in concept at least, is that it's supposed to be sort of like training wheels for agile, which seems innocuous enough. What I have found particularly horrifying about some orgs adopting it is that the agile part (the part that's trickier to execute) gets thrown out the window in favor of what is basically waterfall with sprints, and then people eat it up like there's nothing profoundly wrong with the picture. Something like that is definitely a cancer.
If you're willing to pay for it, a company I worked for switched from Google Maps to TomTom maps, and TomTom does offer aerial image maps. I don't remember the specifics of exactly how much cheaper TomTom was vs Google Maps, but I remember it being on the order of an 80% discount.
I'll probably get hate for this, but:

I've never used an ad blocker. I (generally) always "accept all cookies" from that European thing. I do use "incognito mode" sometimes -- but not often.

I've never gotten any malware or other things like that. I've never had someone show up at my door in a black coat. I personally think that most of the concerns people have about targeted ads is much ado about nothing.

I'll also say: my phone company knows everyone I've called. My credit card company knows everywhere I've traveled or eaten. And I'm pretty sure those guys *sell* my info. But people generally don't seem concerned about that(?)

> What drove Apple to endorse this bill is hard to judge. Presumably, the company, famous for dragging its heels when it comes to the right to repair, now sees it as inevitable that the government will give individuals and independent shops an expanding body of rights to repair electronic products. And the company’s letter to Senator Eggman spells out certain aspects of the bill that Apple liked—in particular, that the set of things a manufacturer must provide to individuals and independent shops is no broader than what it already provides to authorized repairers.

The operative concept here is: Cult. A lot of people look at effective altruism et al and wonder, is it really so bad that some people want to be really good at helping other people? Overall, no, but it's a cult. Sam Bankman-Fried used that cult to build a cryptocurrency empire of madness that collapsed on everyone.

A lot of people would say that innovation requires a certain amount of crazy, and great ideas sometimes emerge from these weirdo goings-ons, and I suppose that's fine as long as we recognize that some of these folks are batshit nutjobs floating up to their eyeballs in kool-aid.

"Externalize excess road wear costs onto all taxpayers due to gas tax"

This is true for electric or hybrid, but in general, heavier ICE vehicles will have lower economy which means they buy more fuel and pay more fuel taxes. In many states trucks cost more to register too. So it's probably pretty close to proportional.

The fact that the EFF is writing about this case and that they're forced to use KF as their one example (clearly they find this distasteful & would prefer to use any other example if they could) indicates that something is unique or at least peculiar about this case.

I'll say, one thing I really appreciate about the fad aspects of Keto as a diet, is that there are a lot more low carb options out there. Of course, ymmv with various fiber varieties and low/no calorie sweeteners in practice. Makes it a little easier to keep carb load minimal. I still do far better sticking to eggs, meat and greens, but it's hard to do.
