The go way to do this would be:

switch {
case errors.Is(err, outOfDiskSpaceError):
// handle out of disk space error
case errors.Is(err, lackOfPermissionsError):
// handle lack of permissions
...
default:
// do the equivalent of the `_` case in a scala match statement or `t` in a lisp cond
}

Which is roughly as readable as scala/rust's match statements. Moreso if someone tried to get cute in scala and bind both the object as a whole and parts of it at the same time ( something like `case x @ Type(_, _, y, _)` ) or when people get real cute with the unapply method.

I mean, I like scala. It's fun. But I would never say it's more readable than go. I've been left to support things that happen when a team of average intelligence devs get a hold of it.

You're also really comparing an MIT and New Jersey style solution here, and judging them both on MIT merits. And I don't think that's exactly a fair argument.

The problem isn’t that you’re charging too much, or that there’s anything wrong with Deployments per se. The problem is the rate of change. If I have to keep up with a product that’s changing this often, I might as well self-host.
I've actually just begun work on a project involving bittorrent, I don't think I will be implementing a client but maybe, I'm certainly going to have to implement generation of .torrent files and magnet links, so I've been learning a little bit about the protocol. Interesting to see this pop up and maybe I can use it to help me make headway.

I think a lot of people intuitively understand that there's a difference between pirating the works of JRR Tolkein, him being wildly successful and not alive anymore, and doing the same to an up-and-coming author who's eating ramen a lot. There's no difference legally, though, which is a great object lesson in how there are sharp topological differences between the world of ethics and the world of human law.

If you pay for Spotify rather than hacking it, you're really not supporting artists financially very much, right? Paying someone a millionth of a dollar to stream their music seems to me like kind of an insult, actually, and recording their song to a cassette from the radio like kind of a compliment.

Supply and demand also applies to expertise, so it's hard to see how it can be any other way. There's an infinite amount of information in the universe, so there will always be someone with more 'cards', more intelligence, more cunning, etc., then you in a large enough sample size.
This seems different than the other takes, though. It sounds like you just don’t want to watch much tv, so it makes sense that you don’t want to pay for a streaming service. My main issue is with people who seem to imply there is a ton of great content out there but it just isn’t on streaming services. That had not been my experience.
Unfortunately I don't have that one. You have to ask on a different forum.

I think Swift does pull in a runtime, but the runtime is included in iOS itself so apps and users don't really pay a cost. It can just link to whatever’s on disk.

Prior to some Swift version — Swift 4? don't remember — iOS apps that used Swift did have to bring their own runtime, and iirc this was because Swift was evolving so fast that Apple wasn't willing or able to commit to including a bunch with iOS.

No, Tesla's chargers will still support their proprietary charging protocol for now.

Longer term Tesla may drop support for it. Might as well use the one protocol everywhere, even when the plugs are different in passenger vehicles and in heavy vehicles:

https://www.charin.global/technology/mcs/
They left off the multiple mis-steps with US charging stations trying to do J-whatever "level 2" connectors, and chademo (which was dead on delivery), and that CCS 1 in the US has for several years been able to deliver greater power than Tesla's.

Even calling it "great" is an exaggeration. It can't support anywhere near the power delivery CCS 1 or 2 can, when 800v architecture cars are now commonplace.

It's sheer fantasy calling it better than CCS2. What should have happened is someone should have mandated CCS2 for the US.

It's not that Tesla's connector is better (CCS1 has the same communication/payment stuff Tesla's does), it's that the US used a installation grants and legal settlement to build out a bunch of charging infrastructure with no requirements for availability/reliability. So, shockingly, lots of charging stations went in and nobody gives a shit about maintaining them.

The only problem CCS1 has is the shitty mechanical design that can't handle heavy cables. It's a problem that could be worked around simply by installing a hanging arm that supports the cable or handle. But again, there's no incentive to fix it.
They already charge $ for charging. Free charging was only offered on select vehicles. Everyone other Tesla pays for it.
Yes, that is true and interesting.

> CCS2 supports three phase power AC 22kw which is very useful in Europe. NACS does not.

CCS1 does not either.

> CCS2 cable are bulky because they respect international norms in term of cable safety. NACS does not, cable are undersized on purpose for cost reasons.

The cable size is a separate issue from the plug, and the main difference is cooling not safety margins.

> CCS2 is already supporting payment in car. Tesla could simply have adopted that.

NACS is using CCS1 signalling.

> We were already having 3 standard. Chademo for Japan, GBT for China and CCS for the rest of the world. Congratulations: now we have 4.

CCS1 is different enough from CCS2 that we already had 4 standards if not 5. Now we have 4.

huge +1. I havent worked in the encoding/delivery/CDN space for a few years but BAM was great. They aren't "pulling an HBO" as far as I can tell; they skipped the painful build your own platform from scratch learning experience. _Maybe_ Disney could have taken a different business approach with licensing. And arguably they took a bath on Disney+ costs initially. But I certainly wouldnt fault their technical implementation nor would I guess that content management/encoding/packaging/delivery is going to be a meaningful business problem for Disney+.

>I got taken over by hackers

I'm a little sad I never was. I started with the Linode "hardening linux guide" and so had a firewall and disabled ssh passwords from day 1. I still have fun looking at the failed attempts on 22 and 443. My server gets so many weird requests, and they used to crash the server. A few iterations and that stopped happening.

Oh, another thing that's worth learning: how to acquire and refresh a Lets Encrypt TLS cert via the ACME protocol. Doing this requires interesting confluence of skills and tools - you must carve out a vestigial http route in your server, and also configure certbot and cron. And working out the bugs takes a few iterations. (You could install Caddy, but where's the fun in that?!)

Making it all work, from scratch, made me feel happy in the same way that when I watch people rebuild carburetors or who build bookshelves from scratch makes them feel. It's not new, it's not innovative, but its good. And it's always more interesting than you'd ever suspect.

Related to "the 5% differing from person to person":

> A lot of software developers are seduced by the old “80/20” rule. It seems to make a lot of sense: 80% of the people use 20% of the features. So you convince yourself that you only need to implement 20% of the features, and you can still sell 80% as many copies.

> Unfortunately, it’s never the same 20%. Everybody uses a different set of features. In the last 10 years I have probably heard of dozens of companies who, determined not to learn from each other, tried to release “lite” word processors that only implement 20% of the features. This story is as old as the PC. Most of the time, what happens is that they give their program to a journalist to review, and the journalist reviews it by writing their review using the new word processor, and then the journalist tries to find the “word count” feature which they need because most journalists have precise word count requirements, and it’s not there, because it’s in the “80% that nobody uses,” and the journalist ends up writing a story that attempts to claim simultaneously that lite programs are good, bloat is bad, and I can’t use this damn thing ’cause it won’t count my words. If I had a dollar for every time this has happened I would be very happy.

I remember an operations incident where we had to quickly pay a previously "free" service that had recently switched their model breaking the scale up of nodes in our system. Did the developer screw up by:
1) not creating a local system for hosting docker images (would detail the project timeline);
2) not well documenting this dependency for operations team before their departure?
3) his/her Manager did not catch this dependency on docker hosting docker images or otherwise catch their change in free tier policy ?

There is some liability on the host some free things your put out there for example "free cdn hosted" JavaScript libraries. If your not at a significant scale that has a business model that lets you commit to continuing to host things you should perhaps not set up free hosting for things.

Not saying it applies in Replit case; they are I imagine a company trying to show revenue growth so they can continue to exist and does not sound like they are breaking production with these changes that are announced ahead of time. Users can migrate to another thing as the article is outlining.
> EVs have some advantages at higher elevations since they don't lose power like combustion engines do.

That’s somewhat true, if you ignore the “cold weather” part. Many (most?) new cars are turbocharged though, which also compensates for the higher altitude. Combine that with the fact most people don’t live in the mountains, and it’s likely range can become an issue in the winter.

Many years ago HN had a post about Andreessen giving advice and I drunk posted that "the only reason people listen to him is because he's rich", only to have the honor of our lord and savior pg stating that my comment was "the dumbest thing he's ever heard".

Yeah, I was drunk and bitter about a guy who was at the right place and the right time and sold out and is a bazilionaire. But Netscape's success really was only in making him and others rich. Ning failed too.

No longer drunk and trying to be less bitter but I remain unimpressed.

Thank you for the validation, for what it is ;-)
NACS supports up to 1000V charging, which can easily match CCS on total charging power for 800V+ cars. There has not yet been a large rollout of 800V+ NACS chargers but Tesla is about to begin installing them, and any other charge provider (ie Electrify America) that has said they are adopting NACS can also provide 800V+ charging at equivalent speeds to their existing CCS chargers.

NACS is basically CCS Type 3 at this point. It's a compact connector that is backwards-compatible with (most of) Tesla's existing Supercharger network while being compatible with CCS on a voltage, power, and communications protocol level.

Really the winning feature is less the connector, and more the install base of reliable chargers from Tesla (and the trajectory of their future buildout).

I gather the GP's point was we that previously we'd eat kidneys or livers or tripe etc. in "unprocessed" form, whereas now they're all only used for pet food or gelatin etc. Whether that's true because steak is now so cheap and most people prefer eating it instead I'm not sure, but seems plausible. But that steak is cheap because of hyperprocessing of off cuts seems more contentious - I'm fairly sure we're able to more cheaply raise, slaughter and butcher cows in general, and the beef industry would still find a way to be profitable even if offal etc. was still widely consumed in unprocessed form.
It is odd that I remember regularly tucking into things like beef liver as part of a meal as a kid (30 odd years ago) but virtually never hear of it these days. I still do see steak & kidney pie in bakeries etc. but it's not super common. Oh I did have tripe in phở not too long ago (and still see it on menus regularly), though I can't admit to being a fan.

This works, but you're quickly getting into more effort than piracy. Valve figured this stuff out many years ago.
What I am wondering is when electric car will become as cheap as ICE. I'm installing solar panels and even if I charge an electric car 100% at home, a similar ICE car is nearly 20% cheaper (factoring all costs). If you charge outside it's more expensive than gas. For example, a Renault Zoe, 50kWh about 40$ to charge here, 350km range (what manufacturer says), so about 11$ per 100km, my space star uses 4.5l per 100km or 8.5$ (actually measured consumption). But the space star was 14k new, Zoe is 33k. (Insurance and tax the same).

This is a genuine question, I have been wanting to go electric for long, but it is still a luxury. And I haven't even taken into account older cars you can buy for a few k $.

What is the strategy? Will government make ice more expensive? Ban them? EU is already backpedaling on goals for all electric.
I did a back of the envelope, and maybe it's not quite so bad.

I read that a smallish, but not tiny, house needs about 500 gallons of propane to go through a winter. Yours will need more or less, but let's work with this. Propane has a pretty low density of about 0.5 g/cm3, so 500 gallons work out to be about 1000 kg. Hydrogen has more than twice the energy density of propane. Moreover, you'd probably use hydrogen to generate electricity via fuel cells, rather than to burn it like you burn propane. Heating via electricity and heat pumps is at least twice as efficient as via a furnace with propane, so let's say you need about 250 kg of Hydrogen.

It's difficult to find prices of large hydrogen tanks online, everyone puts a button with "Call for quote". But I found a study by the DoE [1] where it appears that the bulk cost for large hydrogen tanks of type IV that can hold 220 kg is about $75k. The best tanks are type III which have virtually zero leakage rate. I imagine those are more expensive. Type IV have some leakage rate, which should be proportional to the surface area of the tank. Because of the square-cube law, very large tanks like this one should have a lower leakage rate than smaller tanks like those used in a Toyota Mirai (which can hold only about 5kg of H2). Overall, I think you could expect less than 10% losses, maybe much less.

Of course, you'd need to add the cost of the electrolyzer, of the fuel cells, of the heat pumps etc. It looks quite expensive to me, but lots of things related to home improvement are expensive. This one, you actually get (some of) your money back in time.

In theory, you are only reaching for the 'Objective' parts of Objective-C when your code actually benefits from being object oriented (in the Kay sense). Otherwise you can stick to pure C.

Of course, C has a lot of ugly traps which makes it less than ideal for this domain. This hypothetical subset language addresses those issues. While, again, you would only reach for the 'Objective' parts when your code benefits from being object oriented.

It is true that the inherit dynamism of message passing makes static analysis impossible to cover all cases, but as with all things in life there are tradeoffs. You lose the nice aspects of object oriented systems if you do not allow for that, and OO is particularly well suited to UI code.

Of course, Swift abandoned the object oriented model completely. Which is fine. But Objective-C showed that you can have your cake an eat it too, offering OO where appropriate, and a non-OO language for everything else.

Objective-C's downfall was really just in that C didn't age well – which, among other things, I am sure contributed to seeing the use of the 'Objective' bits where they weren't really appropriate.
