I can't be the only one turned off by blatantly artificial experiences, such as piping fake engine noises through the stereo speakers. I'm under the impression people these days are desperate for authentic experiences. I'd like to see the Dodge Viper or AC Cobra of EV's - blatantly simple, raw, and stripped down. Find a way to make a visceral electric motor. Bolt it directly to the chassis for the maximum amount of NVH (noise, vibration, harshness). Bolt a real manual transmission to it, even though there's no point. Take out all the screens and give it honest analog gauges.

Ah but that assumes legislators and politicians want to solve the housing problem.
I wouldn’t be surprised if rewrites in any language (including the original one!) would have a tendency to outperform.

A rewrite (by people familiar with the original and its pain points) is an excellent opportunity to optimize.
> it is completely unacceptable to discuss how things are done

My all time favorite Penn & Teller routine is "Lift Off," which breaks not only this rule, but also the one that you never repeat a trick. And finding out how it's done makes it no less magical.

Laziness, I guess. I haven't wanted to scour the settings for my keyboard and/or system settings for it. But, prompted by your question I did go root through the settings and got it all turned off.
The Social Justice movement has two kinds of people. The thought leaders in the universities are functionally revolutionaires: "Justice" doesn't mean fairness in their thinking, it means "privileging" the oppressed group and de-privileging the oppressor group. (See the book "Cynical Theories" for a thorough--and left-leaning--analysis of the development of the academic ideas from disillusioned Marxists Foucault/Derrier to the current state.) This isn't really "justice" in the sense of fairness, it is retribution: attempting to right a wrong by wronging.

Then there are the masses, who think "Justice" means "justice" and more or less buy the narrative. (At least, as far as I can tell.) These days, activism is how a lot of people seem to derive their meaning in life. So, "defund the police" advances the revolutionary cause, while being a pithy cause activists can rally around if they are not of the critical thinking persuasion.

The lack of thought about the after-effects is from the academic thinking. The goal is simply to tear down the oppressive system; there is no thought given to a replacement system or how that system would avoid simply being a different oppressing system. Or whether a replacement system would actually be less oppressive than the current system, which by historical standards is one of the least oppressive.

So you have a 17mm wrench. It's awesome, feels great in the hand, solid on the nuts/bolts. It's a keeper and a winner.

Then one day you need to 17mm socket wrench.

A year later, you find yourself needing a 17mm deep socket wrench.

The year after that, you've got a scenario where the deep socket wrench would work, but requires a cheater bar, and there's no space, so you need a drive adapter to connect it to an impact wrench.

The following year, you start working on a vehicle where torque matters, and you need all of the above tools to work with a torque wrench.

6 months later, you realize you got a torque wrench that only goes up to 80 (units-of-torque) and now you need 100.

----

The difference with physical tools is that nobody will raise an eyebrow at you having all these variants of your 17mm wrench. By contrast, having all these variants of (to use TFA's example) a word processor would seem quite odd.
One weird thing I learned about one of the Scandinavian countries is that part of the reporting taxes is reporting of labor for DIY home improvement.

The reasoning for this was that the economy could not be adequately measured if DIY work is not recorded.

This really demonstrated to me the American mindset of freedom. I have no idea about California. I think another motivation is that they are trying make sense of what will undoubtedly be a complex tax-reimbursement situation.

I have been a sole-proprietor since the 1990s. I think they are working towards normalizing that sole-proprietor lifestyle with longterm employment.
Countries are like a streaming service. Shop around to see which you like most and subscribe to it in the form of paying taxes. If a country has brain drain then that’s their fault for being incapable of providing a good life to their citizens and inherently should not exist as it means they’re doing their citizens a disservice by providing a worse quality of life.

Unless the headline was changed in the last 55 minutes, to me it says "Here's the history and the facts." which is a very different statement from "EVERYTHING is a fact"

It says here are the facts. It lists a lot of facts.

Then it ends with a conclusion:

> And so, finally, I reach my point.

> Every .io domain you buy funds a government committing crimes against humanity. Every .io domain you renew legitimises and reinforces the continued exile of the Chagossians.

To me, this is clearly an opinion. An opinion you can choose to disagree with. But disagree with it on it's merits, not on the author's preface.
Show HN: Undead – scary fast, bewitching web pages on the JVM with no JavaScript
Hey HN. I wrote a LiveView implementation for the JVM called Undead. (The name Undead is a play on the "Live" part of LiveViews.)

I had been waiting for the new StringTemplates feature of Java 21 which made it scary-easy to get the right data structures to make things work.

It's been enchanting to write Java after about ten years in Javascript and Go lands. Would love folks to try it out and lmk what you think. If you aren't too scared that is. ;)

"Full frame DSLRs" were not ever the cameras that took the best pictures, they were just the top end prosumer for a while. Mirrorless are somewhat better than DSLR now, rangefinders always were if you were into Leica, and medium format or large format have always been better than full frame.

When I was first learning Go last year, Penn mentioned on his podcast that he had a friend Rob who worked at Google.

I realized that he was talking about Rob Pike who helped create Go. Truly felt like a "small world" moment.
I've made the switch. The difference is so minimal at this point it's unnoticeable. And regardless of telemetry and who sees what, I simply cannot stomach touching anything even remotely related to Google anymore.

I was hoping to use something like this for my Son's Christmas tree but it needs 33v. For some reason I cannot find ANYTHING to drive the lights on this tree. The old, broken power supply is labeled as 33v @ 800mA (26w) but all the power supplies I can find don't even come close. I tried ordering a custom one from AliExpress and it worked, for about 10 minutes, then it overheated and the lights started flashing.

I would much rather just use a standard USB-C power brick and run it through something like the boards you listed, but they don't seem to support 33v. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They don't have as much of the demographic that causes damage to property because of the religious and cultural backbone here that (decreasingly so) binds this state. For all the complaints people throw at the Mormons, standard of living, average level of education, and crime rate, are all fantastic compared to most other places.

As the culture becomes one to not punish those for bad actions, not shaming bad lifestyle choices, and begins to artificially force an unnatural level of multiculturalism, society rips apart.

I'm not even a conservative either. But this "social progressivism at all costs" disorder that our country has developed is going to have dire, and inevitable consequences.

1. There's no such thing as 'Linux out of the box'.

2. This is complete nonsense. Any desktop distro comes with support for a wide variety of archive formats in their archiving apps as well as their file managers.

GNOME Archive Manager, KDE's Ark and File Roller all support literally dozens of formats. So do Dolphin (via KIO), Nautilus (via libarchive and/or GVFS), and Thunar (via its archive manager plugin which wraps various CLI tools).

On the vast majority of Linux operating systems comparable to Windows (i.e., coming with a GUI), normal use has never required desktop users to manually install software just to open an archive.

The only exception would be Windows gamers downloading warez for use under emulation in patent-encumbered archive formats for which archiving tools would not be legal to freely distribute in some jurisdictions.
> I do experience a powerful obligation

That does not contradict my point in any way. I do experience this "obligation" too, and help others, but I don't think this word fits here. But that's just an emotion — that's not a real obligation that I actually owe somebody except for myself.

Emotions are my own volition — I'm free to experience whatever I fee like. Real obligations are not; I have to respect them regardless of my internal emotional state.

Back in the day, I drove manual transmission cars and said that only people with manual transmissions were "drivers", anyone with an automatic was just a "steerer".

I now drive a Bolt EUV with one pedal driving, meaning that if I lift up on the accelerator pedal, it starts regenerative braking. It's a lot less complicated than using a stick but it's almost as fun.

Driving a regular car without one pedal driving now seems dangerous because the car keeps coasting when I lift my foot off the pedal instead of slowing down.

I also use adaptive cruise control a lot so that the car is speeding up and slowing down as the car in front does. It really reduces the stress of bumper-to-bumper driving.

Orion Browser 0.99.126.1 Release Notes: Orion+ Lifetime License Now Available
I've been using Orion for a couple months on my work machine and been mostly happy with it. I use it to support Kagi (because Kagi is truly a great search engine) and because it's good enough. However, I'd say it's not yet my ideal browser - there are some "basic" features I feel are missing such as drag-and-drop bookmark bar rearrangement. As it is based off Safari though and I never use Safari, it may be that's the reasoning.

This article might be the single most vapid thing I've read all day, and I just read a Bari Weiss article for context.

Author leans in quite heavily to his own bonafides... somehow able to rise from foster homes to the military to graduate from Yale.

Neato.

And then he gets REALLY basic shit wrong.

"Working class" does not mean "lower middle class white folks." Go ask 10 "working class" black folks whether this country is racist. Then ask them whether it occurs at all levels of the country. They don't even need to know what the term "systemic racism" is to be able to describe it to you.

"Defund the police" had a pretty fucking specific meaning. It meant removing all the military surplus gear from police organizations in an attempt to reduce the amount of machismo and brutality from LEOs. Nobody should ever feel safe around a person who barely graduated from high school and yet has the authority to brutalize you and legally steal your shit. Go ask people if they think body cams on cops are important.

Is it now a "luxury belief" for women to be afraid that they live in a state that might attempt to jail them for the crime of having a failed pregnancy, or is that an actual valid concern? Don't want to do that? Okay, then let's look at the number of OBGYNs who are choosing to leave states with oppressive anti-female laws because THEY don't want to be prosecuted for the crime of providing healthcare, and follow that up by examining the cities in places like Texas that want to prosecute women for using state highways to LEAVE the state in order to receive proper reproductive healthcare.

Luxury beliefs my ass. It's only a luxury in his mind because these things don't impact him.

Apple, software side. I use Apple Notes on my macbook, phone and windows machine through the browser. One day, an important (to me) functionality had stopped working in the browser version only. I knew it should be there and thought they must have updated something and broken that in the process. It happens. I was bugged more than I should have been so I filed a request on the Apple website. Less than an hour later, I get a phone call. When the person on the phone understands they are looking at something real, they ask if they can connect me to an engineer. I talked to some engineer, walked them through the issue. The issue was fixed in the same day. It was so easy. I was shocked a company so big could function on such a personal level. To me that is the mark of great customer service.

With all of the emphasis they put on the iPhone cameras i think they have considered this and decided against it, at least for now.
This rumor was completely false, of course.

The reality of GameCube discs is that they were standard mini DVDs, but they used a slightly different physical frame layout and a different scrambling seed from standard DVDs, so consumer DVD drivers would instantly reject them because the data frame checksums would fail. By patching out the frame checksum verification in firmware, GameCube discs could be read by some consumer hardware, and once the scrambling seed scheme was reverse engineered, they could be freely descrambled and imaged.

The second protection was a unique identifier burned into the Burst Cutting Area (BCA) at the center of the disc.

Another popular myth is that GameCube discs were protected by being Constant Angular Velocity (versus Constant Linear Velocity) discs - while this is true, and the GameCube drive is a CAV drive, it's irrelevant to protecting or copying the discs as the data is the same either way.

An iPhone 8 years ago (iPhone 6S released Sep 2015):

- Is limited to a 12MP sensor (15 Pro has 48MP on the main sensor)

- Can only shoot 4K SDR at 30fps

- Cannot shoot ProRes LOG mode

You could absolutely get a great video with an iPhone 6S. Soderbergh shot all of Unsane with an iPhone 7 and FiLMiC Pro. But comparing the video quality from Unsane to this clearly shows how far the iPhone has come.

It's an interesting demonstration. That's all it ever needed to be.

We probably owe the roots of all science (and thus technology) to the clear dark sky observations of ancient ancestors. Astronomical observatories were common in all early civilizations and it there where some of the roots of mathematical thinking begin (the other being credit accounting tools :-)

Astronomical observations are in a sense simpler and cleaner (and until the invention of accurate timepieces, compasses etc.) also of extreme practical use.

The reason is likely that our normal down-to-Earth environment is too complex and chaotic to be parsed. Observation of nearby processes gets things wrong because of overlapping effects. E.g. Aristotle thought that the natural state is for things to stop moving when they stop being pushed by a force. This is only the case because down here friction is dominant.

The "quick buck" thing is a catchy meme but not really reflected in the statistics. While there are notable examples of companies that have been destroyed by PE investors they are rare and as a whole PE backed companies outperform after the PE group exits.

See this for example https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/2bstpilo30bmb4...

That is similar to other data I've seen, and given how loathed the industry is, the fact that it's hard to find contrary data suggests to me that it is accurate.

The PE firms have to exit their investments so they are either selling to dumb buyers who don't realize that PE is value destroying, or they are actually creating value by improving operations and selling to intelligent buyers who are willing to pay for the improved company. The former is definitely possible but you'd think after 40 years buyers would get smarter if that were the case.

Agreed, that's why I labelled their threats as saber-rattling. Unrelated to this there are country deadpool bets running on nuclear war ranging from 2024 to 2027 when China is ready and what countries would be hit but I am not participating as there are far too many variables. I'm just stocking up on freeze dried coffee as it appears to be a better investment than metals and would never go to waste.

I did not disagree with this either. It is profitable because their biggest customer is the US Military. There are debates about profitability otherwise and some reports one can find on their burn rates vs income. I did not keep them handy because I do not trust what either side is saying.
