> Have you used it, by the way?

I have not used FRED no, but living in Europe, I have frequently come across dynamic stop lights, yes.

> A speeder crosses that same trigger point [..] Do they get a free green or do they make your light turn red.

Normally they are not controlled via a single trigger point, but with a dynamic radar system. So even if you come in too fast, turning the light red, it can still switch back to green if you slow down in time.

I don't know how the beam discrimination works if it detects scatter from a faster moving object behind you, but in practice I've never encountered a scenario where I was forced to stop because someone was coming in faster from behind.
I bought a sony mzrh1 around 2007

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Sony_mz_rh1.jpg

It was discontinued a couple years later. The software to download & upload files from/to the disc stopped working past osx snow leopard. The windows sonic stage program was absolute garbage. It sits unused in a drawer. Sony refused to open-source their code and the encryption/decryption can't be reverse engineered because you need cryptographic keys.

Don't trust sony. Their hardware may be superb, but they have abysmal execution when it comes to software.
I feel like it’s the aspect ratio of the plug too. Being long and thin you have to get it perfectly straight AND the right way round
Wow the terms of service must be miles long. Who exactly is responsible if it falsly summarizes a patients history, I'd assume the doctor still?

Edit: says it will 'cite' sources to aleviate hallucination concerns, but are doctors really going to spend the time to check every source? The point of the AI is so they don't need to, so they probably won't.
>And yes. It does feel like being ripped off when someone puts ~30 minutes ($20 max) of Western labor into something and then turns around and charges me $800 for the privilege of supporting an American company.

So as a senior expert in your field, you make $20/hr? Because I don’t know any field that charges by the half hour, and I don’t know any senior engineers that make minimum wage to do their job but maybe you’re the first.

That’s not including the markup the company would need to add assuming you aren’t dealing with an independent contractor.
These little boards are neat products but I think they tend to compare poorly to used “normal computers.”

If you want a Zimaboard system with 8GB of RAM, you’re looking at 200 bucks. You have to get the mid-range one just to get 4 cores.

I bought a used 2012 quad core Mac mini which also has 2 SATA slots for about half that price. It idles at 13W according to Apple, and the person who sold it to me already had it upgraded to 16GB of RAM.

This is a machine with the “Apple tax,” i.e., a higher resale value than a PC.

You can jump on eBay and have a blast with “HP EliteDesk” as your search term.

I have to admit, though, a PCIe slot on a system this small is nice to have.
Yep, the reason I hedged my statement, saying "almost definitively identify", is that, as you say, some buildings aren't listed.

For example some village halls aren't listed in PAF - perhaps because they can't receive mail? And structures like electrical transformers aren't listed (even when they're built of brick and on their own separate plot of land).

New build properties supposedly appear in the PAF before construction is completed - but that depends on both the builder, and the PAF user getting the latest updates.
Funny that gameplay-wise, AAA games are the least interesting IMO.

I play AAA games for the narrative now.
Nothing wrong with that if the toy meets all of the functional and non-functional requirements.

If you find offense to this, the easiest way to mitigate is with process and practice: sandbox code goes into a dedicated "Sandbox" mono-repo and if it's suitable for production, you rebuild it appropriately in a production repo.
O wow! It's been a while since the last release, in the back of my mind I had the idea that the project was slowly dying because of Pieter Hintjes' untimely demise... good to see it's still kicking. Very solid software, an absolute joy to work with.
This feels to me like you're introducing the same unnecessary extra layer into your text as in the original code. I mean, why not

"You are probably interested in whether it's true that the 'need_free' flag is set to true"

leading to

> if ((need_free == true) == true)

? Answer: because that extra layer of indirection adds nothing, and just gives you a bit of extra cognitive load and an extra opportunity to make mistakes. I think the same is true about going from "need_free" to "need_free is set to true".

(This becomes less clear if you have variable names like 'need_free_flag'. I say: so don't do that then! It's almost always appropriate to give boolean values and functions that return boolean values names that reflect what it means when the value is true.)
Why not give the benefit of the doubt to other animals? It feels like we're peeling back the layers of "animals are unintelligent automatons" to realize we are animals, too.

I recommend thethe books Are We Smart Enough To Know How Smart Animals Are? by Frans de Waal, and Mind of a Raven by Bernt Heinrich, among others.
> My wife still manages 12+ hours per day

If she didn't start sleeping those number of hours until after having the baby, this sounds like it could be postpartum depression. I'd recommend she gets evaluated by a psychiatrist to confirm, of course.
Because once upon a time people made software instead of training models and some of those people still like to see what’s going on in the world of actual software development.
Wow, I was downvoted. OK HN :-)

I'm not complaining, just find it funny.
Just another endorsement for screen.studio--it's extremely handy for me feature announcements, demos, and FAQs.
It looks like one poor choice leading to another poor choice. They probably chose Prisma because it may have helped them with GraphQL, whereas they most likely don't need any GraphQL at all.

Then they are screwing around with AWS Lambdas and package size, but what is the advantage of the Lambdas if they don't make your deployment easier? Just have a ECS and run whatever you want for better price/performance ratio and much higher performance ceiling.

I don't get which of their tools are improving developer productivity or software quality. It looks like every tool stands in their way. Why won't they just learn SQL and use it? What's is so low productivity about it? It's the highest level data manipulation language there is. Now they are bringing Kysely for supposed type safety. Yeah, good luck debugging, optimizing or changing the queries in any way. You'll have to convert from SQL to TypeScript and back whenever you'd want to develop the query in your SQL console.

What I see is a bunch of poor choices. Shiny tools standing in the way of getting stuff done.

oh, yes, very likely it was a broken or dirty pin (that's what I mean with "failed"). I wouldn't be surprised if it was somehow a software problem as well (apparently for simplicity) some cheap USB-C port setups are wired as two ports.
>I believe the top of the funnel for the UPRN process is council tax registration which not all buildings need

UPRNs are issued for structures that aren't houses or even buildings.

Maybe it’s news to iPhone people (and I say this as someone whose only used iPhones since he got a smartphone over a decade ago other than for 6 months where I used a Windows phone and 3 months of an Android phone), USB-C wasn’t invented with the iPhone 15.

It’s been around a long time and most people have managed just fine, and absolutely loved the common cable. And everyone hated the iPhone user because you had to pull out a new cable to charge it.
"If someone is stupid enough to do this, they don't need a reason."

Politicians love to play tit for tat, because that gives them a plausible excuse for the masses. And you may underestimate the weight that ideologically based states put on their official ideology.

IDK if it will be Hindutva and India, but we will likely see some Chinese attempts to enforce their own sensitivites. They already try to do so at universities which have a lot of Chinese students.
I suggest you watch at least 30 seconds of the video. "Nostalgia's a very powerful and good thing" referring to our desire to come back to these games, "20, 30 years later."

This comment is very relevant to the general effect of nostalgia and how it affects our desire to play to these games, and presents another (not contradictory or mutually exclusive) reason why they can sometimes fall flat today. The video focuses on the technical aspect but the economic/life aspect in the comment is equally important.

You can change your currenty in the settings https://app.momo.coach/settings and all VAT calculations are only done when you set a VAT value, so you just need to not add tax.
That is pretty much how it works in Germany - flats are identified by resident surname, and numbers, if they exist, are not known or little used.
A mass with negative effect on local curvature, would I think still follow the same geodesics (i.e. fall down).

Same in Newton, though there it would be GMm/r^2 = F = ma but both m have the same sign so acceleration is the same regardless of value (including -ve), though if M was negative then both +ve and -ve valued m would accelerate away rather than towards.

Conservation of momentum and energy is conserved because they're mv and 1/2mv^2, so an isolated equal and opposite +- pair co-accelerating has a total of zero of both all times.
Hope they get compensated for their generosity
A server without ECC RAM is not a server, sorry. It's a catastrophe bound to happen.
We don't, or we didn't all accept it. It was forced upon us, due to the masses not giving a f. The masses are just so uninformed, that they would rather throw cash out every 2 years (if not shorter) to buy a new device. The manufacturers of course like that behavior and reinforce it. The sheer masses of uninformed people create a huge incentive for them to continue this way.
That this has to be said is scary.
Not ideal for sure but I don't see the cable disaster you claim, specifically what clear improvement you would have with multiplication of connectors.

Connectors, cheap and reliable are hard to design, and there's that much solution that works, and economics of scale works wonderfully by this kind of mass production (the good enough converges to reliable cheap). Also, the backward compatibility is real, and not to be dismissed too lightly. Say, for an USB-A connector, would really go one way where a USB 3 cable and device should NOT work with your older computer ?

There will be waste, there will be disgruntlement, but at real diagnostic will be possible (instead of the vague indications like «use provided cable» we have for HDMI and DisplayPort). For power, you can already find cable with a mini LED display on the plug to show max wattage once plugged.

Limited cables will quickly have label to show their specific capability (4K/8K, for PD only, 100W 60W), for cables you buy. General case for cables provided by manufacturer is, you keep you cable with the device, no real confusion here.

I know many have the cable drawer full of just-in-case that never comes that would dream to have it blissfully replaced by unlabeled USB-C cables, but this is just not how general people handle the problem. They keep the cable with the device, and learn what they need before or after buying a replacement, or better, asking someone in a shop, those still exists for all I know.
There's no one right way to enjoy things, just as there's no accounting for taste :)
Everyone in this thread is discussing economics. What about safety and reliability? It’s my understanding that Wish, Temu, and other low cost Chinese etailers sell a ton of counterfeit, bootleg goods with phony safety certifications (if any). Are the days of lead paint in toys, cheap batteries that explode, toxic drywall, makeup with arsenic in it, and the like over in China?
From the article: “Bhatt's idea for the USB was inspired by his own experience as a user dealing with tech frustrations far beyond the scope of a get-it-wrong-the-first-time cable.”

Exactly what made USB so awesome when it first came out. I guess you had to be there.
And so you still can re-define keywords, but only after you've included all the standard headers you want. Which makes sense: the meaning of including a standard header is entirely standard-mandated (they are not even required to be actual files) so making anything that could potentially mess with the implementation's implementation of standard headers UB is reasonable.
Like jet-lag it can take some time to adjust. But, also like jet-lag, you have to push through.
I don't know how many streets named "Letsby Avenue" there are in the UK; but apparently there are at least three different police stations on such streets.

As long as display scaling works, running at the native resolution is probably marginally better. (haven't tried this myself)

I'd be more interested in matching the aspect ratio, since ipads aren't 16:9.
This is where you and I disagree. I find that a chance at tangible improvement is worth having to deal with the risk it cannot be accomplished.
Even more so. Some buildings I lived in had several postcodes. (e.g. some apartments in the building had one postcode assigned, and others had a different one)
Those may be terrible variable names but they were understandable back in the 70s and 80s when disk space was at a premium and compilers only cared about the first 6 characters in a variable or function name. That's the downside of a 50 or so year old programming language: you have to worry about not breaking legacy code that did things based on the hardware limitations of that time.
What you say is true but doesn't help the working programmers, sadly.

I have once exclaimed to one team lead / project lead during a call with 20+ other programmers: "Why are we even talking to you if you can't make any difference? I want to talk to somebody who will understand our problems and try to help".

Longest awkward silence ever. Needless to say, I left shortly after.
As the name implies, the IntelliJ Open API is open, as in open source. It only works with IntelliJ indeed because it's the IntelliJ API, but that doesn't make it not open.

Im a beginner and am working through getting Nix + Home Manager + Darwin working. Currently I am only setting it up on a MacOS vm's so I can nuke everything, but the end goal is to install it on my host system and manage everything I can with it, including home-brew.

Yes, home-manager + darwin is added complexity that is making this harder for me; when I am encountering problems I am not always clear on where in the three systems it lies. But I probably wouldn't be journeying into Nix if it wasn't for home-manager + darwin; what I want is managing my workstation and setting up ad-hoc development environments, not configure servers.

You can also insert the USB-a connector upside down, if you use enough force. It won’t really break anything but it will bend the plastic part so it becomes hard to insert the right way.
thank you. it is interesting to see the difference in mindset about this. a few weeks ago i was talking with some people at a developer meetup, and they all insisted that doing anything but hourly billing would be stupid because why would you take that risk.

> You're doing the classic thing of explaining why things are bad and thinking that that is the end of the story.

If it was the end of the story, progress would stop. Saying we need a better terminal and then talking about things that run using a terminal ui, but are not the terminal really is the issue here.

> My point was why is nobody working on fixing these issues?

People are working on the problem. There are tons of shells, TUIs, command parsers, web interfaces for commands and interactive apps, some software even work in TUI and GUI mode.

Perhaps a better terminal would help, but I suspect that the problem is there's not really a medium between "better terminal" and "web browser" that won't just evolve into a web browser or something like X over time.

> The answer is not because it can't be done.

No one said it can't be done. You can argue it has been done many times... X11, the web, etc.. But I think the OP was confused about what a terminal is and what the software that runs in the terminal does.
I’ve worked on those robots that mass produce cars. The idea that you can ship them from site to site doesn’t really work. They require a lot of support infrastructure. The use a lot of large parts (dies in the case of cars) that are heavy and must be constantly swapped out. They require a lot of constant tuning that would likely be made worse when subjected to the vibrations of transit. They require whole specialized teams just to maintain.
And I thought this was about mental health!

[According to Wikipedia] the aim is to have one post-code per fifteen addresses.

Which means that unlike (5 digit) ZIP codes and German Postal codes, UK Postcodes are typically pretty useful for navigation - people will often enter a postcode into a Sat-Nav to reach a home or business. However, sometimes this can entirely fail - e.g. for a historic house on a large estate which may have access some hundreds of meters away from the postcode indicated location, and so sometimes you'll see a separate postcode to put into your Sat-Nav !
