I also have a 2 year old here with these (imagine my surprise to see this on HN), and I've troubleshooted more than one track creation. I can confirm the findings of the above poster. They don't buckle upwards much. There's some margin for error in the connectors that allows for the tracks to pivot some. A degree or two off and you can still get the connector to fit, but you'll feel the tension in the track as one side is fitting much more tightly than the other due to the bend. So introducing another track segment somewhere in the loop (the link goes into the math behind this, but a little observation and intuition will also yield the correct result) will ease the pressure. In my experience this is almost always caused by trying to close the loop a little too tightly.

Edit: Re-reading the rest of the "look for track flatness" comment; the second and third sentences about tolerances and bowed joints are spot on. For example, looking at the final track layout for the "mathematical" approach, I can tell you that I'd have no problem shifting that track down an inch and snapping it in place.
These markups are insane, and I wonder if anyone actually gets anywhere near paying them. I don’t really see the point since for those markups you can just get a nicer car. Unless car collectors really are that out of touch and flush with cash.
One of the bigger issues with Scrum style agile, is that very rarely does it reach the maturity where "everything is delivered within a sprint." Even if you complete all the cards without carryover or other issues, the product isn't necessarily shippable. So in practice you some form of release planning, often quarterly to align with the business, that gets overlaid.

The big insight with ShapeUp for me, was that is really is more a change in how to approach Release planning, than sprint/iteration process. You really can ship an end-to-end feature for a wide variety of software products in a 6 week timeframe, and it is short enough to give a lean focus, outcome oriented on delivery rather than just shipping a code increment. Two weeks is too tight a timeframe to meaningfully pivot larger projects, or make decision about overall feasibility. There always is another 2-weeks to expand upon your sunk costs. But again 6 weeks hits more of a sweet spot in being able to step back and make roadmap tradeoffs.

You are right, it is a small market. I am surprised about the raw milk, though, I read of places in the US that sell raw milk, cheese, etc. Maybe it is legal in some states? I also heard of companies that go to your farm to put down your cattle (also in the US) so you don't have to send them to a slaughterhouse. Again, niche stuff but nice to know it exists.

Your top message does seem to imply and suggest there’s nothing to be done, and there are multiple replies that saw this as your summary point.

I agree with you that it’s dire, and we need more aggressive action. I agree it’s going to get worse. In the short term, in terms of a few years, it’s true that changes to fossil fuel consumption won’t fix it. In the long term (decades and centuries) that’s not true though, and we do need to be thinking both short term and long term. We do need to curtail fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emission in order to solve this problem eventually, in addition to taking stronger actions in order to alleviate some of the symptoms anytime soon, right?

Arbitrary deadlines also occur in agile scrum in my experience. Management says stop working on project X and start working on project Y. Project X backlog is effectively canceled and the product is in maintenance mode

I've been shopping for a new car recently, and got it down to the Chevy Bolt and the Hyundai Kona [because I want long-range electric and have a narrow garage]. On the Bolt it looks like you can just yank a fuse to kill the cellular radio, and on the Kona, there's a modem you can remove. I've even gotten the dealer to agree to have their shop do the removal, so as not to void any warranty =*).

Probably every single thread comparing gpt (3.5 or especially 4) needs a copy paste caveat that it's not really fair to compare a "bare" model like falcon (not even its instruct version) with chatgpt _service_ the service part is crucial, because it includes advanced features such as "secret sauce" output sampling (while on huggingface all models by default use basic greedy sampling). No preprompt, depending on subject detection and so on. For a fair comparison we would need to compare with the exact same prompt and exact same output sampling.

As a general rule of thumb, human spoken languages all communicate about 5 bytes per second of info. The limit seems to be not because of auditory processing or verbal issues, but rather how fast someone can process thoughts.

Unsure why this is controversial.

It's pretty common practice to start full manual and then automate pieces of the process as you go with a human-in-the-loop, often with edge cases still being full manual forever as the cost of labor < cost to engineer out of all edge cases.

It'd be just a giant game of whack-a-mole, not too dissimilar to what humans tried to do after destroying some ecosystems: travel to a new place in boats carrying rats, the rats get to a new land and multiply quickly, bring cats to control the rat population, the cats kill a lot more than rats and multiply quickly, rinse and repeat.

Complex systems that feedback into each other get very, very tricky to manage. We can't even do that with stupid software, it's a massive human hubris to believe we can do to systems we don't even comprehend...

This is "appeal to authority" fallacy incarnate.

Google/Amazon "etc;" are likely happy to pay the cost because it really is "good enough" and the benefits of Linux over FreeBSD are otherwise quite considerable.

Google in particular seems blissfully happy to literally throw hardware at problems; since hardware is (for them especially) fundamentally extremely cheap.

Even multiple percentage gains in throughput are not necessary for most applications, and Linux is decent enough with latency if you avoid having complex IP/NFTables rules and avoid CONNTRACK like the plague.

as u/jeffbee says anyway, most of the larger tech companies these days are using userland networking and bypass the kernel almost completely for networking.
Ask HN: Requests made to IA, command or cordial question?
Today while doing certain operations with one of the modern AIs, I realized that I was posing my requests as if there was a real person on the other side, unconsciously.

I wondered how many like me unintentionally, partly because of temperament and character, partly without thinking about it, pose in a kind way in the requests they make to AIs instead of simply imposing the direct command.

Is there any study in this regard, on how we position ourselves in relation to the AIs we use every day?

Certain cars let you physically disable this. For example, the Tacoma has a "Data Communication Module" (DCM) that performs all of this and has a cell radio to phone home. There's a fuse in the fusebox you can pull to prevent the DCM from getting any power. Only side effect is the in-cabin microphone stops working and you can reconnect the fuse at any time.

It's as if the engineering team didn't want to develop a spying product and made a convenient way to disable it...

I also wonder if the war in Ukraine had an effect too. To my understanding in a lot of the initial stage, Russia was extracting as much natural gas as stopping the extraction process would render it hard to restart, but with much reduced opportunities to sell it, they were just flaring the excess gas.

Of course, the traditional customers of that gas were burning gas too, sourced from elsewhere via LNG, or in some cases, coal. So in effect in 2022, we ended up double dipping on the european fossil fuel usage as it was burned both in europe and in russia.

Yup. In Agile though, the opposite happens, we the devs are encouraged or coerced to agree to work tickets whose scope is not baked enough to start serious coding which should happen during planning or grooming...except raising a question you often get the "what part is not clear" condescending tone which discourages discourse and fleshing out of the ticket's scope.
Well, it's Puzzling SE, so I guess people are more likely to give (and upvote) theory-heavy answers. The "unloved" practical answer would probably be more popular on Home Improvement SE. But SE sites also tend to reward elaborate answers, even if they're not 100% correct. For instance, the accepted answer on this Aviation SE question https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/94879/why-does-... is not really correct, while my (very convincing, even if I say so myself) answer only got 2 upvotes - Ok, the fact that I posted it 2 weeks after the other answer also might have something to do with it...

Agreed; "she said goodbye too many times before" is grammatical. But it's temporally ambiguous. The sentence is reporting on a time in the past, a time when "her" utterances were even further in the past.

I suggested rephrasing prior to translation, to clarify the tense of "said".

As someone upthread noted, it's a song, so prosody is more important than grammar. But I think it's still an ugly construction.

[Edit] I'm not sure what tense it is; I'm a native English speaker, and I don't think I was ever taught the grammar of my own language. I don't think it's past-perfect/pluperfect; that would be "she has said" (she has finished saying it). Wikipedia disagrees, but doesn't say what tense "she has said" is.

> There is no evidence to suggest community mask mandates slow the spread of COVID in adults.

This is, perhaps, the most frustrating statistic I've ever encountered.

N95 masks are outrageously effective at preventing the spread of infectious diseases, including Covid.

Mask mandates aren't especially effective because:

* people ignore the mandates
* the mandates aren't enforced
* people wear their masks incorrectly
* people take their mask off to cough, talk, eat, sneeze, neutralizing any gain they get from wearing the mask in the first place

I'm frustrated because there's nothing wrong with masks, it's the people that are screwing everything up for the rest of us.
they're not. As far as I understand every single one loses money before accounting for federal subsidies. Many are actually closing.

> If CI passes on your branch but later fails due to lagging behind master,

That’s the problem, which I already stated before the question. That’s not integration, that’s a build. Integration is testing your changes with all the code around it.

Specifically, it’s about testing your changes with changes that started after you began writing your code.

Only small changes land in anything like chronological order. On real codebases, even with low to moderate coupling, the rug can get pulled out from underneath of you without you even noticing until something bad starts happening. CI is about exposing your code to feedback at the earliest possible moment, so you 1) don’t continue to build on violated assumptions, 2) you do lots of small merge operations instead of one big one and 3) the thoughts that began the trouble are still fresh in your head. Consequences of decisions become abstract over time. Nobody changes their behavior based on 1 year old bugs found in their code.

Long lived branches are a crutch. It’s avoidant behavior. If you can’t figure out how to make your code work with everyone else’s, why do you think waiting longer will make things better? It doesn’t. The mess just gets bigger. I’ve seen it over and over again. The guys who won’t merge early are full of delusions about their own work that doesn’t match up with the bug and incident count. They call it bad luck.
Yes, it's marketing material.

Marketing material is often the best reference you have to discover what something is about. Also, the pictures of food on a menu usually inform you better what you'll get than a realistic picture.

Marketing has many functions, a large share of them are hindered by misleading you. A few are not. The result is usually very transparent (but effective).
