>> I can bring 100L gasoline with me to add 1000 km range on top of existing 500 range
> This is the big advantage.

No, absolutely not. Who brings 160 lbs of gasoline with them anywhere? That's twice as much as an average cars gas tank. How many people do you know that have ever brought any gas on any trip ever?

The "advantage" of being able to drive 12+ hours without taking a couple hours to charge is absolutely ridiculous. It's not something people do or should do. The only reasonable circumstance is if you're on a camping trip or something, and somehow driving hundreds of miles without passing a source of electricity- in which case yes, use a gas/ethanol car.

In my honest opinion, it's a ridiculous demand that you should be able to drive 800 km without taking more than 5 minutes to stop. It's minimum 6 hours of driving, and like 30-40 minutes of charging. It's petulant to complain about that like it's a real issue.

The real advantage is cost. It costs a lot of money to get a large battery that can charge quickly, when a $20k Civic can do it. Smaller the EV, the slower the charge, and the more inconvenient it is.
My benchmarks show that the price is acceptable

Homeland Security using “Babel X” to link SSNs to social media posts
Recently I learned about this effort by Homeland Security, Border Patrol, and other government agencies to track the online discussions of citizens & immigrants, and tie those discussions to their SSNs.

I suppose LifeLog (Facebook) was merely a stepping stone in this effort, which appears to be accelerating with the advent of low-cost AI.

To give a shallow overview, transducers allow you to define steps in collection processing _per item_ rather than having collection processing as a series of transformations of collections.

So rather than processing the collection, passing it to the next function that processes the collection, passing it to the next... etc.. consuming all the CPU and memory that involves, you can define steps that are applied for each item in the collection thereby having the iteration through the collection happen once.

These steps (transducers) are also composable and reusable.

I suspect you know this, consider this a basic explanation for other people reading.
I do believe there is some kind of 1:1 NAT with IPv6 these days, which is way better than 1:Many of IPv4. There are so many potentially useful applications that are DOA because of v4 NAT being everywhere.

We sell an enterprise collaboration product focused on cyber incident response.

As best as I can tell, there wasn't a product quite like it on the market - so it's something that people are 1) excited about once they realize they need it, or 2) reluctant to buy because they think they don't need it. It's not an obvious iterative improvement on an existing software product but instead a brand new idea (we think)
An engagement should never be a surprise. The ring can be a surprise, but you’d do good to ask your partners input since it’s for them. Many couples go to the jewelers together to pick out, generally, why they want. The actual purchase can be made later.

Dumb question. Could a really serious impact from space increase the probability of a volcano forming at the point of impact?

I’m imagining that volcanoes are a little bit like the channeling hazard when making espresso, where the shallow or disturbed area are more likely to erupt with hot liquid.

This is relevant because I have seen it said that meteors could be a source of lithium.
would industrial users paying more for transmission not benefit the process you're talking about? i get the impression you're politicizing my comment on wind and solar--i'm just relaying what i've lived through here, with what we already have connected
Mixed feelings.

On the one hand: cool, less exploitation of developing nations by a few billionaires. (Downvotes. Cool. I know it is hard for some people to accept reality because they just need to worship a wealth they'll never experience, no matter who or what it obliterates.)

On the other hand: dammit, we were just getting around to cost-effectiveness of lithium recycling, but now it looks like that's another several decades off.
This sort of extremist desperation plants the seeds for justifying horrific, subhuman destruction. There are no limits. This is beyond dangerous, it’s foolish and cancerous.

If you sleep in an aisle or under your desk, you will wake up with dicks drawn on your face.

If you ask the guy who draws dicks on peoples' face to not draw one on yours, he will make sure to know your sleeping location, so that when you sleep, he can come by and draw a dick on your face.

There is often a "magic room" where drink and food is abundant and free for admins. If you befriend an admin, by the end of the weekend you may get invited in the room and get a share because there is way too much for them anyway.

If you play a lot at a certain game (let's say Quake 3), and you want to hustle some LANs, make sure you know how to setup a dedicated servers ; some admins do not use the proper competitive settings like sv_fps and whatnot, so you can advise on that and avoid playing under sub-par conditions.

Make sure you have a lot of free space on your hard drive so you can leech stuff while you are sleeping and somebody else draws dicks on your face.

Here on HN (in threads about Julia) the focus was generally on notebooks as I remember it. That's the context I assumed, but if it's about Julia fora in general I agree, the REPL had/has been talked about much more often than notebooks.
It's been a staple Human Interface Guideline that applications should re-open in the layout and position they were when they quit. Personally I barely use full screen at all in Mac OS, but I can see why you want it. It is default in some apps, it should be default in all apps, it isn't.

Cutting Through to What Matters: Why Software Engineers Should Think Like Chefs
I feel you. There is nothing today quite like _Inside Macintosh Volume I_ laying out out in drawings and prose (!) what the elements of a UI are, what they do, and how they work... almost like people had never seen a UI before. People must have had to think about it, they wrote a book for F sake. /s

They devote ink and paper to declaring that modes are to be avoided, and why. The do's and don'ts of UI on page 70 are worth repeating:

Do:

* Let the user have as much control as possible over the appearance of objects.

* Use verbs for menu commands that perform actions.

* Make alerts self explanatory.

* Use controls and other graphics instead of just menu commands.

Don't:

* Overuse modes (again!).

* Require keyboard / mouse when the operation would be easier with the other.

* Change the way the screen looks unexpectedly, especially scrolling.

* Redraw objects unnecessarily.

* Make up your own menus and give them the same name as standard ones (they define the standard ones in this book, you know: About, File, Edit as well as what goes in them. yes, yes, this is where it all started).

We've meandered into a bullshit local minimum where there is the One True UI and it's different for every app, but the same for every user. Meanwhile in industrial control where a $50,000 piece of equipment has its own app, used by maybe one person or three if it's operated 24 hours a day, the responsive mobile interface is as easy to lay out as slides in a slide deck and takes about as long to do. Hell, a customizable dashboard is a widget.

If the cloud made shoes there would be different shoes for grass and concrete, but they'd all be the same size and you'd have to cut off toes if your feet were too big or stuff them with prostheses if they were too small.
> I think you might have a very fundamental misunderstanding on how thermodynamics works?

Why would you say that? lol.

If we have a large surplus of cheap solar/wind energy during certain periods (which is unavoidable if they share will continue increasing significantly in the future). Of course yeah, that only works if this process becomes relatively cheap and efficient.
It's a logging framework! :D
I would think that if we stop putting it out there and let the trees take care of the rest we might make it. But this is an uninformed opinion.

It's time to make accountability match the crime. [In my jurisdiction, at least] police officers are considered officers of the court, and considered more trustworthy than other witnesses, under oath or not. When a police officer abuses that by perjuring themselves, there should be a additional punishment. Some kind of modifier, like a hate crime, that really makes it hurt.
Show HN: Erlmacs – a script to update your .emacs file for Erlang development
erlmacs automatically configures and updates your .emacs file with support for the emacs mode that is included with Erlang/OTP. It frees you from having to locate the installation directory of Erlang/OTP and its bundled emacs mode.

It is an escript that only depends upon Erlang/OTP and Emacs.

Note: There is not much in the way of error checking at this moment, but it does make a backup of your .emacs files before any destructive operations.
Oh man, I can remember when the Windows 9x/Motif/Nextstep look was so modern, we thought the future of UI was going to be more of the same: huge bevels on the buttons with maybe a texture map. Think the buttons from the menus in Super Mario 64, and then go watch some old 90s scifi or other technology-themed movies and see how much their "futuristic" UIs looked like that. The Lawnmower Man and some scenes from Hackers come to mind.

I saw the Pixii for the first time today actually. It's unfortunately way above my budget. The other commenter explained a high end bare bones camera. I've always a much lower tier camera without a screen on the back. Like just take less than $1000 and remove all that extra stuff. Just give me ISO, shutter, aperture (if not on lense), shutter button, and AF selector, on the body. And make it compact, maybe even like a point and shoot with a fixed focal length lens. That's my pipe dream for a digital camera.
With LLMs being able to run locally on consumer hardware, I think we’re headed back to hand written tests pretty soon.
>There was a dead body found in a car rented by Breonna Taylor.

Is the implication here that she's therefore a bad person and therefore the police's actions were justified? If so your presentation was heavily misleading. From wikipedia

>In December 2016, Fernandez Bowman was found dead in the front seat of a car rented by Taylor and used by Glover.[12] He had been shot eight times.[12] An unrelated party was later arrested for Bowman's death[51]
Also Windows file handling in general. It's incredibly flexible, allowing an arbitrary number of drivers to log or modify every disk access. That's great if you want real-time antivirus software, transparent file encryption (without encrypting the full partition), data-loss prevention software, advanced file syncing etc. But it also makes workflows that access lots of small files very slow.

Instead of a VM you can also use WSL2, assuming you put the files in the linux file system instead of accessing the host file system. (Yes, technically that's also just a fancy VM running in Hyper-V; but it's a more integrated experience than e.g. VMWare)
> there should be a additional punishment

Going to jail as a cop probably counts as that
Haha, interesting take.

My wager (3 cents): a slime mold that adopted "potato chip bag camouflage" so that it could secret itself to the safety of the ocean via a shipping container - all part of a desperate bid to escape land and the impending calamities of climate change, including those already seen in its rates on home insurance!
I actually don't agree much with the article. I think that all modern OSes (macOS, Windows and even Linuxes) are much much better from the usability perspective than years ago.

Some UI elements and patterns are indeed problematic, but it doesn't really that of a big deal, and some of them are the results of compromises.

Most of these complains are because people don't like change and it is ok.

I recently started using Windows 11 after a decade on macOS (have to port some apps there), and was very surprised by the UI improvements in the core components. I asked couple of colleagues about those, and most of them hated the change and were not using new features.

Transmission is a small component of total energy charges. Renewables are emphasized in my comment as they drive down the cost of power (solar is the cheapest form of power currently, batteries firm solar so as it ensure it can be called upon by ERCOT; “dispatchable” is the term of art). Not political.

I don’t live in Texas, but have friends and family that do, so I’ve been there to install renewables and batteries for them and am very familiar with the situation (and also monitor grid stability remotely where their equipment touches the utility); Victoria Electric Cooperative is particularly on my shit list for making public statements that renewables are the cause of ERCOT instability (for political purposes in direct contradiction of the data).

The Russian word can be broken into three sections. The first part is a prefix associated with a transition. The middle means movement and the bit at the end means a person that does that. So even though the group of artists with that name were translated as "the wanderers" or "the itinerants", the word literally means people who move around.
The benefit of make is that large programs that are built by slow compilers can be incrementally rebuilt much faster in the face of small changes. Something that would take 40 minutes to do a full rebuild can build in three seconds or whatever.

If your static site can be generated from scratch in under a second by just catting a few hundred HTML files with a common header, there is no benefit to using make over a script. You only risk performing an incomplete build due to a bug in the dependencies.
It might help, but at this point Linux containers can't really stabilize the whole environment, especially for games. Particular pain points include accelerated graphics (which theoretically can have a stable kernel interface, but in practice is so complex and performance-sensitive that it's not stable enough to be a "reference platform", so to speak) and modern game controllers (which present a whole mess of concerns typically "addressed" in Flatpak by granting the device=all permission and hoping for the best [1]).

I also know a guy who ran into issues with a kernel update breaking a custom allocator, although I don't know the fine details. That wasn't for a game, but games also use custom allocators for various reasons.

I’d remember that this didn’t happen by accident. The fossil fuel companies knew this was coming in the 1970s and poured billions of dollars into delaying action and securing their political power. You used to be able to find Republicans opposed to pollution and Democrats who were in the pocket of fossil fuel companies - Manchin is a relic of that era – but the fossil fuel companies managed to get enough control of the Republican Party to make it difficult for anyone opposed to pollution to remain a member. By the time Bush ran against Gore the contrast was stark: someone saying urgent action was needed and an oilman saying the scientists were all wrong and we needed more cheap oil.

What really sealed our fate was electing Obama. I know a Republican lobbyist who used to work on various environmental issues, which wasn’t as oxymoronic as it sounds: he used to get the coalitions of hunting and fishing groups and sometimes farmers who were in favor of things like clean water and air, and ecosystems which were healthy enough to support game. As he describes it, once Obama was elected the Republican leadership were bitterly determined not to give him any wins and told their members that those old deals were off-limits. Their successors don’t even have a tradition of collaborating like that.
> We compensate Googlers based on how little we can get away with in the given job market where the employee lives, remote-working or otherwise.

Whether that’s fair or not is a matter of belief system.

Google’s Bay Area compensation isn’t a result of some intrinsically just meritocracy - they’re a wealthy business competing with other wealthy businesses over an extremely high-demand labor pool.
> What do you think will happen if the temperatures keep rising, the oceans keep rising, and currently livable areas of land that hold billions of people become inhabitable?

It’s really not so bad. Not compared to killing millions of people today by increasing the price of energy. Estimates are of a rise of [2-4 degrees centigrade by 2100.](https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/climatechange/science#:~:text=Glob....) This will likely result in an [increase](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/6/1/014....) of arable land. [As the number of storms are estimated to decrease, the threat vector is slightly increasing storm intensity.](https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3184/a-force-of-nature-hurrica....) Humans can handle storms. We can rebuild homes, change where we settle and live, build with better materials and practises, and improve storm infrastructure and protections.

[Approximately 600,000 people die each year from extreme heat, while 4.5 million die from extreme cold.](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5...) Let's ignore the ratio for now, because there are second and third order consequences beyond extreme heat like famine to account for. 4.5 million people die each year because of inadequate access to cheaper energy. This is of course linear. Every time energy prices go up, so too do the number of people dying. That is the direct cost of the war on oil, coal, and natural gas, and there are many indirect costs (and lives) which go far beyond this. The intention of climate activists is to make fossil fuels much more expensive, meaning many more deaths.

Of course, maybe the goal here is worth killing 4.5+++ million people per year. There are no perfect solutions; only compromises. Maybe many more will die if we don't act. [The IPCC estimates that an additional 250,000 people per year, between 2030 and 2050, will die from the effects of climate change.](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/climate-cha...) That covers all modes of death, such as famine. For those in the room doing the math, many times more people will die today by making energy more expensive. Activists are asking us to sacrifice millions of lives per year today to save an estimated 250,000 lives per year decades from now.

For this reason, I no longer support making energy more expensive. I support environmental efforts to reduce pollution, but I can no longer justify the high cost of human life associated with taxes on energy. Instead, I really think activists should focus on making energy cheaper. This means working on solutions to make renewable energy and nuclear cheaper per unit of energy than fossil fuels. That's a path to saving lives which I think most people can get on board with.

NGL I'm shocked you never asked a wheelchair user about their experiences using a wheelchair. I'm quite surprised because, like, I have plenty of disabled friends and honest conversations on how to accommodate them are quite normal in my circles, especially when covid first started and even now as some friends are more vulnerable to covid than others. How do you accommodate your disabled friends if you never talk to them about what accommodations they need?

edited to add: I'm genuinely asking and have continued to behave in good faith. I have no idea what makes you think I'm not. You seem to be repeatedly misunderstanding my position which is weird: I'm shocked you have 1) interacted with disabled people in your life; 2) apparently never ask about their experiences or accommodations! I don't think that's at all in a "most people" camp.
