The Honda Fit, which is very popular, isn't even sold in the US anymore. Curb weight is low 3000s, all of the passenger seats fold down, it parallel parks trivially, and it's fun to drive. It's basically a 90s Civic.

I'm angry about this often, as mine is over fifteen years old. If I had to replace it with a new car, I'd want another Fit. The closest thing on the market is probably a hatchback Civic...and the whole reason for the Fit existing is because international pressure made the Civic too large and heavy for the desirable tax bracket in the Japanese market.

And it's not even small for the Japanese market, because they have the whole kei class, with strong incentives to drive smaller cars. Which is how it should work everywhere: severe tax penalties for larger cars, to promote public safety and fairly pay for the fourth-power law that affects road wear.

yep, having just two bars - tabs + window buttons, and omnibox + browser buttons (which were also condensed just to 'page' and 'settings'), was kinda huge.

at that time, (when browsers like firefox 3 and ie8 were around), browsers were still having bars on top of bars on top of bars: window bar, on top of a file menu, on top of address bar (with a split search bar), and they'd throw in a bookmarks bar in too by default (which chrome had turned off by default), and that's beside toolbars which were still a thing (and were not a thing at all in chrome). all that would come up at a total of 3 to 5 bars, which was a lot.

particularly the combining of window title bar and tabs bar into one (along with putting tabs up top, and forgoing window title and file menu along the way), was a big thing. which seems to have influenced all the other browsers later on. (see firefox 4, opera 10, ie9 which all did kind of a spin on that, with ie9 surprisingly going even further and putting both address bar and tabs bar on a single bar)

it kinda changed everything, with its approach to simplicity. i'd argue that even now chrome remains one of simpler browsers among those popular ones out today (compare to firefox, opera, vivaldi, edge, etc. which all seem to have features piling up and just popping out at you). but it is also getting crowded as well, in that button zone around main menu. if I could hide those (given that they're also redunant, cause most of those things are in main menu anyway), i wouldn't miss them at all.

If the goal was to keep territory they'd have been better off taking Russia's pre-war deal - minsk 2, cede Crimea, pledge to stay out of NATO.

Even after that though, I think they should have prioritized lives over territory. Luring Russia deeper into their territory so that their supply lines could be cut and trying to fight maneuver warfare would have worked better than trying to win a WW1 style war of attrition against an enemy 5x the power and equivalent sophistication that is fighting a war of attrition against you.

Russian logistics were only really seriously threatened by HIMARS and only then for a short period (theyve since deployed counter measures). Ukraine only really has the resources to hit propaganda targets behind enemy lines now - Russian logistics are not being threatened in any meaningful way any more.

FWIW, chemical batteries won't ever match the energy density of fossil fuels.

Of course they don't need to, so it's not really an interesting comparison. The range/mass of the entire drivetrain is probably a reasonable comparison.

I saw a travel version of this recently, for use on airplanes, trains etc.

>* someone who wants a recording of the call to prayer

Only one channel needed really, but could be multiple if warranted.

>* anyone who needs to make a recording of anything at all?

As a professional designer of recording devices, I can tell where you are going - not that you might have missed the notion that there is literally no reason that a DAW-like instrument cannot be multi-channel capable - but also that portability to any environment is key.

Physicality is the new frontier for digital capture.

Recording/editing/mixing no longer belong in the workstation.

Portable instrument-like DAW's, with extraordinary new and interesting interfaces to accomplish those goals you've set (although they are all basically the same thing), are already on the market.

For example, the 1010Music Bluebox, alone, can be applied to any of those scenarios. Just add microphones (and USB powerbank...)

Incidentally, PaulDavis: acknowledging your position as the originator/BDFL of the ARDOUR workstation software, I mean no disrespect for your stature and point of view -- just that I believe era of the DAW-less approach is upon us, and there is a rather large opportunity for device-makers, such as me, and software-makers, such as you, to align ourselves...

The workstation is dead. The kids want portability, reliability, and power. This can all be done on non-standard operating systems, in a bespoke case, for fun and profit.

Great to see statistical thinking. There have been a lot of Covid shouting matches because people are trying to reduce things to binary. Masks don’t work! Actually, they work as advertised- only 95% effective at best (and a cloth mask may be 30%), not a binary protected or not. That’s effective at blocking particles. You are still guaranteed to get some virus particles. They are going to be in your respiratory tract trying to replicate, and maybe some are replicating-does that mean you are infected in a clinically meaningful way? Depends.

Researchers will try to measure if some intervention like that works reporting binary PCR positive or negative- but we should want to know what was the severity of the illness. PCR positive with minor illness can be a good outcome indicating that the intervention helped lower the innoculum.
My mom's interpretation (midwest and eastcoast US, 80s) is largely related to snacks before dinner. "Can I have a few cookies?" "You can have a couple". This meant two. You could sometimes get away with three, but it would result in mild disappointment from my mom, because if she meant three she would have said "you can have a few". In no case did couple mean four. "Can we have some cookies?" "Yes, you can have some cookies" meant four total cookies, split between the siblings, presumably fairly (but she let us battle out that agreement, with everyone getting at least one). This wasn't based solely on how many you had, but how many she expected the cookie jar to be short the next time she looked at it, so you couldn't game it by asking for a few multiple times. "Some" was pretty rare, probably more likely in the early afternoon vs getting closer to dinner time. "Several" was more than four, and was very rare. There was some wiggle room, at least in what you could get away with even if the meaning was absolute, with the cost being a disappointing look and admonishment of "you'll ruin your dinner". Couple is two. Few was three. Some was four. If she said "some" and you took three, you were cheating yourself.

Watching a Mad Men clip last night, Draper, Sterling and a client are at a restaurant and Roger handwavingly dismisses the waiter saying "bring us a couple of iceberg wedges" for, presumably, the three of them, and I thought "Who exactly did he order for?"
If we means society at large that requires a large portion of society if not more than a simple majority. That doesn’t exist for ending the use of automobiles. If the goal is the reduce the impact of automobiles, assumed from the thread being discussed, it’s not sufficient to help those who want to walk to walk to the grocery store. That’s a wonderful thing to do. But to reduce the impact of tire microplastics, the most likely route to actually achieve a reduction isn’t to get people to walk to the store. It’s to address the microplastic debris of tires. Better formulations, better runoff management, mass reduction of cars.

Maybe we can change society fundamentally. Maybe. I posit probably not. But we can definitely mitigate the impact of our cars on the environment and must. The rest is “nice to have.”

I don’t think I ever say anything about 100% of trips done by car implies a lack of desire to less car reliance. Truly, this is reading what you wanted to read, and a clear ascribing of a bone headed intention on my part. But reducing reliance isn’t enough to change the problems meaningfully. As has been noted elsewhere the 5 minute drive to the store doesn’t compare to the 2 hour drive of the 18 wheeler trucks distributing and redistributing the products from farm to store. Nor does it compare to the work commute, nor does it compare to the weekend outing to the mountains, with four or five hours of driving total, 50x or more the trip to the store.

I lived many years in NYC, and I walked to buy groceries. It was good (although as my family grew the logistics of carting that much food in a push cart got tedious to be frank). But even in nyc I found myself increasingly buying things via delivery, especially non perishable items. Public transit takes so long to get from one part of the city to another, often two hours round trip, that I found myself buying anything I needed on Amazon. Which then brought delivery trucks into the picture. Uber and Lyft and taxis were a constant part of life, even with a pretty complete transit system, simply because to get to a specific place not on a major line you had to do multiple transfers and the total commute time ballooned. Then you have to add in how incredibly unpleasant public transit can be - hot trains, insane people attacking people randomly, being pressed back to back for an hour with a huge crowd of strangers, break downs of signaling.

Now I have a car and I live in a place that is walkable, but is adapted to cars better than NYC. I enjoy walking and biking, but I will never live in a car hostile environment again.
Established science is an oxymoron.

Science is an on going process, always open to being overturned.

To the point of masks - I agree with your statement here, but a regular mask (filtered masks should help to some extent) will not protect you from an infected person. An infected person with a mask will reduce the chance of spreading their viral load.

This detail is where I feel people are talking past eachother. Most of covid denial to me seems to be about a psychological reactance to being told to mask up when they are not sick.

One might argue that the extra chance of reduced vectorization is worth mask mandates, but that simplistic purely “scientific” approach is its own problem. You have to argue people where they are at and convince them, not force the “right” view on them and then get upset they are “in denial” or skeptical.

The title has been editorialized in a way that is incorrect. The article states:

- Social media services must register; however, users do not.

- Online services that offer podcasts must register; however, individuals who use social media to share podcasts do not.

That to me clearly indicates that "podcasters" do not need to register.
This would be terrible for specialized hardware, such as assistive technology. Open source software doesn’t really exist for it because there is simply no interest.

I think they are banking on generative AI displacing traditional search of all types, maybe opening a few new related doors but mostly displacing large use cases of search. "Better enough than Google to convince users to switch" was always too high a bar to meet but being able to say "How do I take the Riemann middle sum using the points {1/2, 1, 3/2, 2} for f(x)=x^3+2" and getting a response built around your specific question instead of the best generic link talking about Riemann sums is definitely the strongest contender I've seen to finally meeting that bar. Users don't want to find the best page about Riemann sums, they just want an answer to their question.

The challenge will be "does it do that well enough, accurately enough, and keep a good enough lead to establish itself as the leader to beat for the user base".
"Strategic value" is hardly the only thing that matters for the welfare of a country -- actually it sounds more like an outsider's perspective on how a country can be useful for some other people. Also, it is totally false that Korea (or Japan) was never "truly democratic". Sure, they've had their issues and continue to, but that's why it is important that they keep moving in the right direction. This has actually been a very common path for lots of countries around the world to have troubled democracies and gradually improve but not without some hiccups.
Tell HN: Workday and SAP Success Factors are Satan's work
Applying for a job these days has become a nightmare. We link off to websites like Workday, where we have 10 different accounts to our name...the autofill resume option is an absolute joke...I feel discouraged to apply for a job every time I land on one of these sites. How are their product managers getting away with this nonsense.

Am I the only one who gets this feeling?

Anyhoo, I've had enough of this and I'm currently sitting here with a Figma file open ready to design a new version of an ATS - one that is extremely streamlined. Optimise the whole process of applying for jobs and clean up dashboard for HR staff so they can actually hire the right people.

I'd love to collaborate with someone and really overtake these saas companies who have been milking it for way too long with their barely workable products.

I come from a product management/marketing background so if anyone wants to create something cool with me and collaborate on this project, feel free to shoot me an email: gustafstrom3@gmail.com

Oh, yeah. ICS/SCADA is definitely the worst industry I've heard of as far as security is concerned.

I don't think Microsoft has anything to contribute to that, because no, I don't think Microsoft possesses the technical competence to deal with these systems. They might have more /generalized/ infosec knowledge, but snark aside, I doubt they have the resources they need to really dig into SCADA security simply for the fact that they've never really needed to. I think it'd take them years.

It'd take them years to build a power plant, though...
Its responsive to the parent question in that yes, we can have symptomless exposure to the infectious agent (or some part of it) and develop immunity.

I am all for privacy and so on, however you have to admit that with the current technology alone it's basically impossible to track or prevent certain types of crimes - and it's becoming more and more difficult. I am decently sure that terror attacks are prevented on a monthly/yearly basis - luckily, it doesn't make the news, when it does it's too late.

Child pornography is another beast difficult to solve - again, I am quite sure that they are able to find groups etc on a more frequent basis than we think. When they don't, I don't even want to think about it.

What tools do current investigators have? If you were a detective investigating a case, what would you do or use?

Basically everything useful is either 1) illegal, or 2) technically almost impossible to do (e.g, decrypting https which takes still years to brute force). You could try to ask for a favor left and right to get to a search warrant or install spying devices and "fix" (1) but how the hell do you break (2)?

Communication is happening online and a "military grade encrypted channel" has basically become the standard way of communicating with each other.
The few who still use outdated clients or protocols - shame on them.

So, yeah, I really do understand the fact that governments want access to data for their own nasty purposes, however, what can we do as a society to make it 1) difficult for average Joe to use military grade encryption to act criminal, 2) easier for police to find criminals?

I know a knife can be used to cut bread or to kill someone, however, we're talking here about groups of hundreds of people sharing child pornography - that's not a knife, it's a freaking weapon of mass destruction in the hands of people who shouldn't ever ever have access to them.

No, I don't want the Chinese way, but what can we do to avoid getting there?

Can you think of something?
I'm not really following but want to understand.

How does inflating titles help to attract talent?

Do you mean this: let's say they want to hire a senior software engineer, but the salary for this level would not attract any candidates so instead they try to hire a staff engineer?

Mostly trying to understand if this is middle-managers tricking their higher ups or if it's the company trying to trick the candidates.
I don't really understand your remark. Perhaps you (wrongly) assume that I do not like WFH?

Rest assured that it is only the article, the statistics presented, and the title under which it was submitted, that I do not like.
"Exposure time" usually implies you're spending some period of time in proximity to an effectively unlimited reservoir of the pathogen (eg. an infected person coughing frequently) and your exposure is at some level of concentration that depends on the type/route of exposure, so that the total amount of pathogen that ends up in your body to challenge your immune system is proportional to the duration of time you spend being continually exposed.

A phrase like "the raw quantity of infectious agent and the exposure rate" is calling attention to the fact that one brief intense exposure vs repeated small exposures over a long time span may have vastly different outcomes despite presenting your immune system with the same number of microbes to deal with.
AI Is Studying My Book About James Cameron to Learn How to Write
In my experience frontend is surprisingly steady. React is popular enough to be the default choice at many jobs, and angular and vue are both common enough that you could make a career in them without having to chase anything. The meme about a new framework every week is a little outdated. Nothing is really poised to topple the big 3.

But more than that, a lot of concerns are the same no matter what framework you use. Making an app accessible in React isn't that different from doing it in any other framework. Browser APIs don't really change. Switching frameworks just means switching mental models for how you store and pass around data, but it doesn't fundamentally change the job. And the great thing about the popular frameworks is that once you internalize how they work, they can really speed up the way you work.

>In my opinion it makes no sense in signing your email (whether it is S/MIME or DKIM) to prove that the email is authentic, and then complaining that there is no way to deny that the email is authentic once stuff goes bad.

We all understand that really only the domain part is being authenticated, but if people believe in the good user identity and authentication practices of the sending domain then it's going to hard to rebut the presumption that the email is from the apparent sender.

If we posit that the purpose of DKIM signatures is preventing the injection of forgeries in the MTA chain, then authenticity is only an important property from the time that the message is sent until the time it reaches its addressed recipient. After that point, it's a bug, because long-term non-repudiation is not a purpose of DKIM.

Once a particular message is no longer traversing the network, there is no value (for DKIM purposes) in preserving the secrecy of the signing key.
