> The Tesla Model S has been out for more than a decade by now.

Which is hardly enough data, to make a claim that "people buy EVs less often". We will only be able to make that claim, after a while of EV usage - which should also include recycling of the batteries.

> resale values of EVs

Battery degradation definitely has little impact on EVs, it's also the case with ICE - the runtime of an engine doesn't affect the resale value. Mileage would be the primary objective number that impacts the resale value.

My 2020 Tesla's resale value is up and down, regardless of the battery pack. It's very clear, that it has very little to do with the batteries.

You're making the argument that cars shouldn't exist because some people die because of them.

Like I said, debt is overwhelmingly useful to the vast majority of people who use it.

We're not gonna ban cars because a handful of highly emotional road tragedies. We're not gonna abolish debt because of a handful of deranged debt collector stories.
That's a naive perspective of web dev or any dev for that matter.

What "training"? You're getting ripped off if you're getting billed for that beyond a subscription to Udemy or whatever. I can't think of any dev projects I've ever worked on that weren't full of unique problems to solve web or otherwise. Most of the work is integration, not just making a frontend, and much of that bleeds into the frontend anyway.

What costs the most is destroying projects and burning bridges with clients after delivering crap just to save a few bucks. Assuming your projects are scoped correctly, the ratio of devs to projects tends to be about pizza scale (3 to 5 people or so). If you're trying to lean it out more than that, expect disasters or at least to be significantly late on deadlines.

If you try to hire "replaceable people" you must anticipate what happens when they're replaced. False economy is what's being sold to ignorant bosses the world over. If cutting payroll despite all this common advice still looks like the only way, you're dealing with years of debt at the hands of severe incompetence. What's being made is always more important than how much it costs. Costs are far less flexible than the sale price. Automation is not a silver bullet and most software dev is already as cheap as it gets in any industry. Just give up and sell the company to someone who knows better before further eroding the value left. Leave the employees alone.
Notably Rust's standard library does allow deleting files it opens by default. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/735bb7e5df185cc24e565...

While full Unix-like behaviour is only available on Windows 10 for the past five or so years, you can still have the old win32 behaviour on older systems (delete once the last file handle is closed).
I am not an expert, but my belief is that Pegasus does not maintain persistence.

While the Wikipedia article claims Pegasus "jailbreaks" the iPhone to maintain persistence. Every technical article I've read says that a reboot clears Pegasus (albeit, it is easy to re-infect with a no-click exploit without the user's knowledge).

Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable can chime in with citations.
The clock does wrap around at the top, but the problem comes about when the smallest hand gets to the bottom (the value 0x80). Flipping it would be confusing as that would make the 0x00000000 position be at the bottom.

The 2038 problem comes about because of overflow in a 32bit signed int, so the top byte (smallest clock hand in this case) effectively only has 7 bits instead of 8, when it goes above 0x7F is when the int is interpreted as negative.

The easiest 'fix', if it's even necessary, would be to make the smallest hand go all the way around in 128 ticks instead of 256. But really this micro blog post could just use an explanation of that to aid the visualization.
In a competitive marketplace it can be hard to accept less than state-of-the-art.

That said, we are seeing that it might be worth starting out on an open source platform and dig in to make it state-of-the-art.

Not everyone is interested or capable of doing that, though.
Actually no, the problem with curl | bash is that it can be detected on the server, so if the server is compromised, it can serve you malware and you will never know about it. It is safe(r) to curl > file, inspect the file, then execute it under bash.

People just like to complain. If you were to ask someone on the street with an iphone when is the last time they manually transfered files to their iphone using a USB cable the overwhelming majority would have no idea what you are talking about.
Definitely good advice on pinning the upper range for major versions. Pandas 2.0 inadvertently broke spark’s toPandas for (at the time) all existing spark versions, which some of our users lean on. Pandas response to this was apparently to upgrade spark to a version that was not yet released. We lost about half a day’s work from a small handful of devs trying to identify why some of our users were seeing sudden failures.
I use Emacs, so yeah.

I’d rather write some TOML/YAML/JSON for simple things where there are a handful of key/value pairs. In more complex cases where you want specific typing, or inheritance, or to solve any of the problems in this article, oh how I wish I could use something like a Guile parser to evaluate s-exprs. It would make life so much simpler.
Yes and: As an anthropologist, Graeber details historical examples of capital, markets, debt, currency, etc.

TLDR: They're all ancient.

Graeber doesn't try to define capitalism much less Capitalism. He cares about social structures and relations, not finance and monetary policy.

But absolutely do not take me as an authority on Graeber or these subjects. He spent decades researching and refining. I'm just relating my noob understanding of his writing.
This is exactly how AppX/MSIX packages work, with C:\Program Files\WindowsApps (by default) being pretty substantially locked down. They even use filesystem/registry virtualization by default to isolate packages even further from each other. They also have solutions for framework packages and extensions though I haven't tried those out and suspect they have annoying practical limitations around edge cases.

Of course, a decade later almost nobody uses those because they botched the rollout by limiting AppX to the Microsoft Store and an entirely new poorly documented and very restrictive set of windows APIs and app frameworks. They've made huge progress on all of those problems with MSIX to the point that it's a reasonably good and easy to use choice for most apps with some neat benefits like updates only downloading the changes between versions. Of course if your app pushes the boundaries of the sandbox or capabilities or runs into a bug it becomes a huge pain.

No, I don't know whether it was truth or not, but it would seem that any money they could scare up was constantly being allocated to replacing stuff they'd lost, rather than getting ahead.
A lot of games don't cost millions to develop. In particular, I associate Unity more with indy games rather than AAA.

Those sorts of devs don't have a lot of leverage.
A world in which it’s easy and cheap (or even possible!) to enjoy lots of media of the past is itself a very new thing. Within living memory, hearing a song on-demand meant being or knowing someone who could play an instrument. Those family sing-alongs around the piano that you see in older movies and shows, tapering off (but still sometimes appearing!) in the 80s, are an artifact of that time.

Seeing some kind of performance, or a film, at home, was even harder until pretty recently.

Things like acting in community theater or being able to play an instrument or having other kinds of small-time artistic talent used to be a lot more socially valuable.

> The flagship models get USB 3.0 speeds, which seems like a fair trade-off

To whom?
160gbit split into 4 unidirectional channels at either 2x2 or 3x1, so long as it’s “USB4 Version 2.0”.
But they specifically say that differently? As I said in another, you are jumping from severity correlating with vaccine to get to this idea. But, they actually call out self reported severity as correlating. Such that, if the correlations were strong enough it would have also showed up in their control for that variable.

Stated differently, you have variables

A = self-reported severity
B = amount shed
C = vaccinated status

If A and B are correlated, and A and C are correlated, there will a floor to how correlated B and C can be. Their later sentence is that the correlation between B and C is below the significance floor. They never comment on how correlated A and C are. You could argue there is another variable D = Actual Severity, but that is not covered in the statements I remember.
USB 2.0 speed: 480 Mbps (mega bits per second).

512 GB (giga bytes) = 512 * 8 Gb (giga bits)

Time required to transfer 512 GB at sustained max USB 2.0 speed: 512 * 8 * 1024 / (480 * 60) minutes.

That's 145 minutes. About 2.4 hours.
I don’t know about the original claim either way, but I would be even more impressed and scared if it survived an iTunes restore (basically a PC reflashes the iPhone’s OS image with an image downloaded from Apple.)
Thanks! So beside the lens and zoom, it's mostly artificial differentiation?
Sure, with your 3.0+ devices you never need to think about speed, as you say.

But how often do you really need to never think about speed?

Apple is an enormous company with the best engineers in the business. So I trust they are delivering exactly what we never need in this case.
Not an iDevice use, but it is very rare that I've transferred anything over a cable to/from my phones in recent years and I'm pretty sure I can say the same is true for many of my friends & other contacts.

I could imagine some people do though, for transferring video or big pictures when on slow asychronous Internet at home and don't want to wait for everything to sync up to the cloud. I shovel stuff over local wireless via SFTP in such situations but that is not a man-on-the-street compatible solution.

The white noise stuff is entirely different from this... the two problems with the white noise podcasts are

1) it sneaks into the recommendation algorithm. There's legitimate reasons to want to listen to white noise, but the likelihood that someone listening to a podcast wants to next listen to 3 hours of white noise is effectively 0.

2) perception of fairness due to the "artist pool" that Spotify uses. Is it fair that a team of musicians, singers, engineers, etc. gets paid the same for a stream as someone who just uploaded 3 hours of white noise? Debatable. (I'm sure this will start happening with AI/procedurally generated music at some point, too.)

The users listening to the white noise are real people who are paying or hearing ads. It's not really relevant to the article at hand.

> The article also mentions the journalist talked to the police who have kind of confirmed it.

> The Swedish company said it was not aware of any contact made by law enforcement

If there's no actual case, it just means someone in law enforcement sent an email. They may have been told the story by the very same "anonymous gang member."

Although the whole hearing was around 3 hours long from many different people from different countries (France, US, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, even a congressman from Japan), this particular part of it is a known hoax.

Now, I'm not sure about the other claims, it's interesting to see that the ones that seem more legitimate are actually no more than what pretty much everyone knows... weird objects in the sky moving in ways and speeds that we know no technology is capable of. There's also similar things in the ocean and some describe certain "weird objects". But... that's about it. I mean, there's _a lot_ of it and from different countries; so I'm very much willing to believe.

But then, on the other hand, you get people like these showing off these "alien bodies"... it really takes away from the more credible claims.

I think, personally, if you're more seriously interested in this kind of phenomena just following what Avi Loeb is up to might be enough.

Let's just remember what happened with LK-99, if there's a big discovery that is in any way credible we are most definitely going to see a flurry of scientific development/refutations around it. Now, it's true that governments might be keeping things from us and we deserve to know; so I'm still very happy to see these kinds of hearings going on.
junon, unfortunately I appear to have conflated you with the GP, who was a different commenter, and so I was answering the GP more than your interjection.

The point seems to approach a trope of "ignorant illiterate religious freaks from the 17th century had no idea how the world worked and made up a lot of superstitious garbage that we've all moved past in enlightened, modern times".

Was I off by much there?
The thing that pisses me off at this level is how much power interfaces draw.

The chip here probably draws 50mA.

The WiFi draws 200mA, while wired Ethernet probably draws like 100mA.

There are specifically low powered communications like Bluetooth, ZigBee, or the new SPE Ethernet standards. But they are niche and more expensive to work with.

So you're pretty much paying for lower power (and lower performance) on a rather consistent basis.
Yeah it isn't clear how they are doing it. Are they using fake accounts with paid membership or free accounts? Both are ineficient but the latter is way more inefficient
Huh? I don't think that's true for Windows Mobile 5 and earlier devices.
Most websites will accept HTTP and then redirect to https. It's also not really about if you're okay with someone tampering with the content you're reading it's about assurances that the publisher can be reasonably assured what they're sending is what you're receiving. What you do with it after the fact they have no control over but this isn't simply about injecting ads it's about altering content in a way that the publisher did not intend. And it seems like an insane position to take to say you are fine with receiving content that you can have no reasonable assurance was not tampered with. Ultimately it's not your content it's the publisher's content. Again as a publisher I want to be reasonably sure what I send is what is going to be received.

I take it based upon your position it would be reasonable to assume you are okay with libraries censoring out content in books or injecting new content in books. Also when you watch a movie the media player can arbitrarily cut, altar, or add new things to the content without your knowledge. Because this is the position you're taking by saying you are okay with content you are trying to consume to be altered without your knowledge. When this content is altered without your knowledge who will you get upset at? Because it's without your knowledge and so the only assumption would be it must be the content publisher who did this.

I'm really having a difficult time determining if you're trolling or making an honest defense of using 15-year-old technology and expecting the world to additionally support 15-year-old insecure technology. Because this comes back to the original analogy of I want to use my 1965 Impala as my daily driver and refuse to upgrade it so I can use gasoline that does not cause mental illness through massive amounts of lead poisoning. The real problem you're having isn't that the piece of hardware is necessarily inadequate to do the task it's that the people who write the software for the hardware and do not allow you to continue to keep it current. So instead of making the argumentation that the world should remain in the past using insecure technologies your argument should be that when a manufacturer decides that they are going to end of life a product there should be legislation that requires all of the software to control that product become open sourced so I can continue to be maintained by the community should they continue to want to use it.
As a chain smoker I'd say: don't worry about it.
Agreeing as a country on what is illegal / immoral is a complex issue, but it is orthogonal to the consequentialist vs retributionist debate. The discussion there is only about what happens after someone is proven to have done something society deems wrong.

If anything, a consequentialist would be _more_ likely to lock you up for drug use because the net effect of forced rehab could be positive. Whereas a retributionist would want to punish you proportionally to how you have harmed others (which, in the case of smoking a joint, is no harm at all).
WiFi 6 is in the 700Mb/s range, not MB/s. (In practice I get about 500Mb/s, so on par with USB 2.0, which is 480Mb/s)
I believe they are famous for not being believed by the other side's partisans.

I.e. US republicans most often won't believe CNN and US democrats most often won't believe Fox.

The point here is, there are plenty of topics on which CNN and Fox coverage is very very similar: off the top of my head events in Israel and Taiwan

And on those topics, plenty of people just "trust the consensus" (or what appears to be the consensus, in western media)

Nvidia sold dedicated crypto mining cards. It definitely did went into crypto.

They are charging non-competitive prices for their consumer GPU market. This is opening the door to more competition.

I'm not even a phone power user, and I have over 300GB used on my phone. I only have a couple games. A lot of the data is probably offline storage of cloud backups and downloaded music and movies. But I use a phone with an actual SD card slot, so I freely download things offline because of that.

50gb of data at USB 2 speeds is minimum 14 minutes while usb 3 is 1 min 30.

Real world is probably like double the time for both as usb 2.0 definitely doesn't average 480mbps
It's not fair to JSON, and to see why you just need to add some quantities to the quality of "nothing is great for everyone". Like, a huge % of users would need comments, so that's a huge downside of JSON, and it doesn't matter that there is no perfect non-complex config format with floats (or whatever) since that would be too complicated
They’re also not engineered to the standards of an iPhone either. The cost comes from somewhere… everyone has been fine paying for usb 2.0 speeds over lightning on even the pro max versions as recently as today because they’re still selling iphones.

I get it, android phones have a better cost/benefit for you. Some people prefer the tradeoffs that Apple makes, like privacy, quality materials, a different OS, battery life, etc.
I'm not sure I understand your query, but I appreciate self-reflection in general, e.g. "I hold the view that the suffering of the victim of a crime creates a kind of cosmic imbalance that is only rectified by equal suffering of the perpetrator, therefore I am a retributivist" or "Human beings who have been wronged have an emotional need to exact revenge and, like it or not, they are incomplete until this happens, therefore I am a retributivist" or "Societies that enact retributivist penal policies have less crime" or whatever, rather than "I think the way I do because I am a retributivist"

Same with politics. "I voted for the Republican because I am a Republican" elides a lot of self-reflective reasoning. "The Republican in the contest has a sound fiscal policy and promised to repeal the smoking ban" or whatever is just better thinking.

Hopefully, the entire industry will NOT move in such a schematic and lossy direction. Use separate tools to analyze audio streams please. Don't throw the timbre baby out with the bathwater. MusicGen utilizes a tokenized transformer model for music, which is attractive for symbolic translation use cases. However, the overall audio quality is far more lossy than the examples you hear from Stable Audio. I believe that symbolic representation should not be a foundational approach to adequately represent and generate rich audio signals.

10kgs sounds a lot but it's actually not that much if you factor in the fact that if you go on a 2 weeks trip you bring some unnecessary but maybe useful items: a jacket in case it rains, sweaters in case it gets cold at night, maybe you planned a fancy night, so you bring something less casual than usual, spares, in case it's too hot and you need to change more than once a day or it rains a lot and you can't keep up with laundry/drying etc. I don't usually travel with 10kg of clothes, but I usually travel with a 10kg luggage (clothes + laptop + luggage itself) and in the end it's usually just barely enough to get by.
In a way, you have had an unfairly high upload speed for the last 3 years, while every other phone manufacturer has been sticking to the rules and therefore sees lower speeds.
Yea, the naming scheme is really screwed. They also have the 2022 now. I had the 2020 and got a free upgrade to the 2022. The only big difference between the two is the 2022 does have a slightly better battery life. But I love having the physical button.
