I'm not sure I buy the dragnet scare used on this. After a house is burned down, they are likely to ask everyone around if they saw or heard anything. Heck, they are likely to ask the library in town if anyone had checked out a book that outlined how to make a firebomb or similar. Ask local stores if they saw anyone buy fuel that could be used as an accelerant. Expectations are a no in all cases for questions like this, but they still ask. In this case, they asked, "any chance anyone has been looking at this particular address?"

It would be one thing if they asked for general access to every search that had been done in town. But, wasn't this a case of asking if they searched on a specific address, and it turning up a silly low number of results? And then they were able to find other leads and data?

Or is there a more sinister vibe that I'm just not seeing here?

I replied to the comment I wanted to reply to, not what you actually wrote. Specifically, where you wrote, "the OpenAI safety crew," I chose to see "the OpenAI crew". Sorry about that.

(Still, it'd be better for the planet IMHO for OpenAI to get shut down, safety crew and all.)
The evidence seems to suggest that people often get sick without a clear cause, and due to widespread fear about COVID, the sickness is often being misattributed to long COVID when that happens.

We all know the first model will be the most expensive model with “promises” that the 40k model will be available in the future. See 35k Model 3 for reference on how that turned out.
It's for people who only use like 40-50% each day. Going from 50% to 100% puts more strain on the battery than going from 30% to 80%, so limiting the total charge allows the maximum capacity to last longer (in terms of years) than otherwise.

And if you do ever need all 100%, just turn off the limit the day before.

For me it's a no-brainer: 85% on my current (brand-new) Android phone lasts around 50-55 hours.
The header is fixed as konig-kontext-grpc-context [1]. Does that mean that you can only propagate one gRPC context object? Would it be possible to specify your own header string for the key, and have the interceptors support multiple keys? That sounds safer since the header name could both imply both the serialization and content-type, and Protobuf type_uri, etc. And sounds more useful since developers wouldn't need a catch-all type.

Yeah it's just a stupid take. I swear half these twitter posts are just nerds who read one reddit comment a la "should I learn rust to get a good data science job" and they immediately assume that represents sentiment of the majority, and they must immediately shout into the void their profound insights. "I know guys, actually just 2, who earn a lot of money and they don't know rust at all!" Is that useful to the majority at all? A couple of extremely isolated cases with no additional context? Twitter being twitter I guess.

I'd actually counter this with Lotus Notes 6.5; On top of what VB offered it had a built-in locally replicated, fully encryptable and access manageable DBMS for every application you developed. Plus, it had a formula expression language that could take many tasks without needing to drop into the basic derived scripting language. To create simple CRUD apps that you could still work on in airplanes & trains it was really powerful. One of my favourite moments was when I sat in a corporate meeting with 12 or so different stakeholders for a project management software, and while they were discussing things to change, I just took the projector and implemented it live.

No-code IP block composition using standard interfaces has been a feature of most RTL software suites for almost a decade now. There's a reason it isn't used more widely: once your design gets complicated it gets very unwieldy.

A house was burned down, and the cops wanted to know who searched for the house address prior to the arson.

I’m having a hard time getting worked up about this. To me it’s the equivalent of getting a warrant to find out who bought matches. It’s not like the police got access to all of the users browsing history, they just got a list of IP address who had been casing the joint.

Besides using Codespaces for inspecting code, I’ve used it for running some applicants’ submissions a few months back.

One of the submissions was built in Java and didn’t use Docker (I guess the person had an aversion to it). I didn’t want to bother installing Java on my machine, so Codespaces seemed like a good idea. It took less time to get it working than it would’ve to find the download link on Oracle’s website.

I’ve also used it to write a few lines of code on my iPad, but this was far from ideal.
I agree with this mostly, but I do wish my car had stainless steel instead of paint.

The 10% claim of that review is based on this study:

Ask HN: Code Reviewers Asserting Dominance
Hello HN!

I recent started a new role about a month ago. I have a boss and a lead, both who love my work and only add helpful code review comments on my PRs. Great people and I am learning a lot from them in areas where I didn't expect. The lead will even approve my PR before comments are addressed.

I have a coworker who is sideways from me on the team (not a superior, not an underling). This coworker consistently makes unhelpful review comments which hold up the merge (example: "this comment should be worded differently" and "rename 'sock' to 'socket' "). The company policy is code-by-democracy, and I have to get this person's approval on the review.

How do I deal with this? I've never seen this is all my 10+ years of dev-ing. Before anyone suggest, I am not willing to act the same way on his PR because it's a waste of time.

I resist these things because if I too readily do them, I will have it more frequently, as do some of my coworkers (from the same reviewer).

Boss and lead are unhelpful on the matter. The only thing I can think of is to just leave the RP sitting there unmerged until it causes issues downstream.

I talked to the person and he said essentially that we should all be doing what he's doing.

Am I in the wrong on this? How do I deal with this?

"Stumbling on Happiness" by Daniel Gilbert. Big insight - people generally have a way of rationalizing away things they did (new job, move, relationship) that turned out to be bad ideas - they focus on the positive parts, or say how they learned so much. But this doesn't work if you decided not to do something, and that inaction turned out to be a bad idea - you can't say you learned so much, because you didn't do anything. Implication is that we should be bolder in our decisions, to avoid regret.
it depends on how you use your phone. when i am outside all day running errands, checking messages, calls, web searches... by the time i get home my phone is usually on the last % before shutting off.

i tend to buy cheaper older models of phones though, that may not have the strongest battery to begin with.

No insult, just bemusement at what i see - perhaps incorrectly, but where's the fun in being reasonable? - as inattentiveness regarding what in my experience have proven effective communication styles when dealing with disparate people working towards a common goal. And, yes, there's an element of playing to the crowd in my comment, that I'd assumed would be so obvious that it doesn't need breaking down as you have done. But perhaps not.

Outside that sort of situation, of course, do what you like - just as I did.
Although, be careful about that one, because a lot of the claims Diamond makes are to be taken with a grain of salt.

Some historians really like the "A, B, and C" title format, don't they?
> Netflix is an interesting example of a substandard product becoming mainstream just because of some kind of a social momentum (it certainly is not the right term; so whatever that is called) it received.

When netflix started, it wasn't a substandard product. It was like $5 a month and you got movies mailed to your house! For basically a late fine at blockbuster you could watch your movies for as long as you wanted and never had to drive to the video store. It was an amazing product! There was nothing else like it.

When they added streaming, their DVD library was still king. It had everything. Even weird stuff that could be hard to find elsewhere. Gradually though, the streaming offerings improved enough that people started mailing out DVDs less frequently. Until the TV/cable networks took their content back and started their own streaming services netflix was a really good deal. Tons of great content, low prices, mostly ad free (no third party ads until recently, but ad creep has always been a problem for netflix), and you could watch shows on your own schedule. The rise of netflix originals was a reaction to everyone else pulling their content from the platform and that necessitated higher fees but even that wasn't too terrible.

It wasn't just some kind of social momentum that made them popular. They were once a pretty good service. Very few dark patterns. Customer service always sucked though which was a lot more understandable when they were small. It's just been going downhill for a long time. At this point, they're just being greedy, which is a bad look when so many people are genuinely struggling. I suspect that momentum is what's mostly keeping users around now though.

My X (bought new phone in December when it was released) was at 85+% on the battery.

I replace it with a 15 because it was dropping off the OS bandwagon, needed more storage, battery life, lightning port getting fiddly.

The OS support was the stake in the heart. If not for that I would have looked into getting the phone serviced with a new battery and port, and cleaned up some storage.

That's degradation rate in capacity, not overall capacity. But trading off 40% of the energy for a 25% lifetime increase is not a great trade for everyone.

Author here, I think my Optimized Charging description is a fine description of how it works in practice. To borrow from another publication: "Optimized battery charging is a feature on iOS 13 or newer that limits overnight charging to protect your phone's battery in the long term." [0] With it, iOS learns your habits and will try to keep your phone charged under 80% until soon before it thinks you will take the phone off the charger, when it tops it off to 100%. "The algorithm aims to ensure that your iPhone is still fully charged when unplugged." [1] I have also used the feature personally since it came out, and this is how it works. What do you take issue with specifically?
