If you're at all interested in running other operating systems on a Chromebook, then I'd recommend checking out compatibility in the Chrultrabook docs [1]. Nearly all devices listed there are verified to support Linux, albeit many have issues, usually missing volume limiter support, camera support, or fingerprint reader support. And keep in mind that ARM CPUs are currently entirely unsupported.

Also, it's absolutely hilarious to me that some Chromebooks support macOS better than they support Windows or Linux. In the vast majority of cases, though, Linux has the best support.

Just sharing what I did at a younger age brought me extraordinary connections at the time, some who still are friends 30 years later.

It's not nearly that bad here in Florida. I am booked more than I want, mainly because I'm 60, but not that bad. The lack of good apprentices is definitely real. We all talk about how the trade is aging, and we have been for 20 years. How we're all getting old. How the trades have to pay more, etc. But the biggest expense along with labor and materials is insurance. It's eating profits, and making a huge barrier to entry.
I was being snarky—and covering my butt, in case the PRC and the PLA suddenly gets very trial-friendly.
Maybe not all, but there also aren’t really suburbs here anyways. The “suburbs” are their own mini cities which are also walkable with everything you need. I travel out there often for different things like unique shops.

Each little “suburb town” has a train station which is usually directly connected to the city center

Edit: the suburbs here are usually a bit less dense though, with plenty of row houses and a some single family homes (close together). Still far more compact than the US though.

I do live in a particularly good country (Netherlands), which is definitely worth noting, but I think my experience in lots of traveling helps that I’ve never been limited in where I can go
Not even suggesting "can" (a common name that sounds very much like "john" in turkish) means that they aren't taking phonetics into account.

A while back there was a hacker news story about someone who used AI to clean up the long lost Steely Dan song "the second arrangement". I was looking for it again on YouTube and it's now private, I presume thanks to a complaint from the record company. (There's still a wav file out there thankfully.) I feel like if the company was smart they'd put the track on all the streaming services, maybe even print a 7" 45 of it (vinyl boom anyone?) or include it on a Gaucho remaster... Then it could make some revenue.

Show HN: Take-Home Assignment Automator
a.k.a. Revenge of the Nerds

So, I just created a "GPT" that attempts to help automate those pesky little take-home assignments that you sometimes get on interviews.

https://chat.openai.com/g/g-2eR4bVm79-take-home-assignment-h...

Disclaimer: I'm not quite convinced that these GPT apps are going to be useful at all beyond the scope of just asking ChatGPT things directly, but hey, I tried.

If you can make a better one, please provide a link.
Have you tried Pixelmator Pro?
Maybe not for you, but what if your son/daughter was missing meals? Moreover, you can see other people eating just fine, and no one will hire you? Also consider that the people you "murder" likely "had it coming" and were rapists, terrorists, blasphemers, or otherwise cultural heretics...until and unless you've been in those exact situations, it's incredulous that you'd not do what many other humans would do/have done.
Back then, Eclipse was what every guide and book told me to use, so that was where I started. These days I'm mostly on Jetbrains products. Microsoft made VS a weirdly slow, bloated piece of kit, but I still miss some of the features they have had for ages.

I don't get automatically reloaded classes in IntelliJ, though I think there's a button to manually reload code manually? The whole ease of development came from not having to manually pick what code to reload while debugging. Java also seems to have a bunch of limitations that C# doesn't have (and didn't have back when I tried it on Windows). For example, you can't add a method, or alter the return type of a method.

As for time travel debugging, I'm not sure how you do that in IntelliJ? I can't even see any way to undo the previous line of execution, let alone step through code in two directions. It looks like there are plugins for a bunch of languages, though, but those are all external tools built by third parties.

Rolling back executed code seems to work in Rider, but I don't seem to get any Edit and Continue functionality on Linux, which is probably a Microsoft thing.

It looks like I was mistaken though, "IntelliTrace" was a VS2010 feature, not 2008: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-magazine/2010...
These AI pictures kind of make real Lego seem almost disappointing. I'd probably be a lot more into the adult Lego stuff if you could really do things like this, but it would be like 70% specialized pieces and not really Lego anymore.

Smartphones require wireless network connectivity for basic functionality and there's no way around that. Cars do not, so they will never be the same as long as some consumers are willing to push for their own individual interests. At the end of the day, I can always physically remove all the radios from my vehicle, and enable simpler versions of desirable features with aftermarket mods. There will always be a way to turn a wheel by exploding some gasoline (or using a battery) without involving a cloud service or remote authentication, and every car has all the parts necessary to do that.
Agree. I always try to remind my self:

To add: the test depth for the Virginia-class submarines is 240 meters. The previous Seawolf-class had a test depth of 490 meters.

you don't need to have the 'absolute strongest constitution' to work a boring min-wage job in the United States of America. Ask any refugee who migrated to the country what a hard life looks like.

Smart people like this guy, who choose to go into the drug trade do it because they think a crappy 9-5 job to get back on their feet is beneath them.
I'm surprised there's uncertainty about how Gimp should be redesigned. Just copy Photoshop! Select tools on the left, configure the current tool at the top, global options on the right. Affinity does this and nobody complains. Thanks to MacOS help search, we even already have the command search that this video proposes. And it has interaction hints too.

Gimp isn't more complex than Photoshop. We don't need it to reinvent drawing applications.

I agree. I'm not an expert but the heat shield looks to me like the most uncertain thing about the project. I'm sure they can do better than the Shuttle, especially since stainless steel can go much hotter than aluminum, but I don't know if they can achieve reliable reusability without refurbishment.

Heat tiles were part of ITS though, and Dragon has them, so SpaceX has been thinking about them a long time.
> Your users don't care how clean your source code is

They do care about bugs and new features though, and bad code quality will lead you to more bugs and slower shipping of features in the medium/long run. At least, that's how I define good code.

I don’t doubt there are far fewer suburbs in Europe, but is it possible that what you’re describing also has an element of selection bias.

Since you’ve never driven a car, you’ve never really seen the places that don’t fit the mold you’re describing.
If we want to stop ransomeware, then government should make it illegal to pay ransoms. If CFOs faced jail, then companies hit with attacks would never pay. After a few such failures, gangs would focus on countries that don’t prohibit payments.

Convince me I am wrong about this.
> Old and big European cities achieve good public transport by having people not live in suburbs.

Yeah, and that sucks. Even in Europe, areas that have money and space to build have adopted pretty car-dependent layouts. In France, 70% of people outside Paris and Lyon drive to work: https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/smart-mobility/europe/feature...
I run it by choice. Would rather not run Chrome, and Firefox has issues. Edge has been good and stable for me.
First, at least in europe, regulations won't allow carmakers to build basic cars. Cars are required to be online for an emergency call in case of accident. Plus all fancy systems like lane keeping are now compulsory.

So you can't no longer buy such cars. And in case you go for the used market, regulations will keep you away from cities due to polution issues, even for tiny cities.
This looks rather neat, and there seems to be ample IDE support as well! It looks absolutely perfect, but makes me wonder why this isn't included in VS Code and IntelliJ by default when you install a (supported) language's debugger.
Real freedom would be to not have to deal with the burdens of car ownership. Ideally, I would much rather not have a car for my daily trips, and rent one when the need arises.
I love my 2001 Chevy Silverado short bed regular cab 4x4 truck. My friend also liked it, so he bought a slightly newer next gen 2009 Silverado.

His fuel pump management module died. That was weird enough to me. Why does a fuel pump need a module? Just give it 12v and call it a day, like cars have done for 50 years.

Gets even better. He bought a used one off eBay. Wouldnt work. The module needs to be programmed to his Vin#. Why??? Security? What security, when the programmers are available online, craigslist people will do it for you, mechanics have the tools, and even if you went to a dealer I somehow doubt they check against some theft database or anything. It's all insane.
Different levels of code quality are important for different teams / projects. Teams that are still discovering the domain and defining patterns should aim for a lower quality so they can iterate more easily. In this mode, knowing that code was written quickly and is fine to throw away / reshape is critical. Aiming for Very Good is likely to be a waste of time here.

In other projects, the domain is clearer, or the system already has well defined patterns that should be followed. In this mode fast iteration is also possible, but it's because the code is clean and follows strong patterns making it easy to understand. Good Enough code here is quite likely to slow the team down as they grapple with needless bugs and code that's hard to decompose / refactor.

The most important aspect of quality is that the team defines the level of quality that's needed for the project or the work being undertaken, and they deliver to that. Have the conversation up front about what level of quality to aim for and why. Then the team is on the same page, and everyone can move forward with the same expectations.

Buy a cheap used car and convert it to electric. I'm serious.

For the price of a modern, cellular tracking device with wheels you can buy a classic retro "sleeper" car that's an EV with hundreds of miles of charging capacity.

Let me even grant you that it works that way in theory. By what factor has this project gone over budget, 10x? What’s the next project we can look at to see how it fares?

My other points still stand, especially the one about competition.

Presumably no privacy issues.

That data is copyrighted, so Boeing could go after you for that, using anti-movie-piracy laws that are quite draconian in the US: copying itself is bad but hard to prove; making it available is definitely worse.

Trade secret tends to extend more broadly, including soliciting, and corporate espionage carries real penalty including conspiracy, so I would avoid it.

Where I’m less clear is if that data would be protected under anti-terrorism laws: now that I’ve been thinking about it, such documents could help someone plan a terrorist attack by, say, planning a watering hole or supply-chain attack. In that case, the law gets far more open-minded for the prosecution, letting them try anything to prove their case, and the consequences go as far as extra-territorial non-US-jurisdiction legal nightmares. I’d stay away from it, but IANAL.
> suddenly plane tickets cost $10,000 for you and only you. Your neighbor could get the same flight for $200

No? How can the neighbor get a different deal than one you are looking for in the case of plane tickets? It's not like the airline knows that you are flying for a funeral. Even if they did, as you mention in a non-surplus world, well, yeah, that's how markets work, people have different needs and pay for that privilege. There are business and first class tickets for a reason, as well as prices being more expensive during holidays and summers. Of all of the examples, you chose one of the worst as flight prices are inherently dynamic.
ViGEm Bus Driver – Controller Emulation Framework
I’m curious if you have considered joining a local Toastmasters chapter? It depends, but sometimes it can be easier for people in a group to make bonds when there is a connection to meatspace. Might be something to take into consideration.
This is what we did at ILM, with our in-house software package Zeno. The lowest level of complete functionality was the "Sg" namespace (short for Scene Graph). Above that lived user-and-SDK-friendly commandline utilities layer (SgCmd) that was used for all scripting. Above that, finally, was the Oz layer -- the graphical UI. Oz actions called SgCmds, but never saw or touched the Sg layer.

In theory, Oz was UI toolkit agnostic but, as anyone who's ever done UI work will understand, it rapidly became wedded to the toolkit we used (a heavily customized version of Tk). This made the eventual switching to Qt very, very difficult. So difficult it nearly destroyed the artists' faith in the R&D group. (Extremely late delivery, buggy, and coming at the manpower cost of not doing any improvements on the tool itself for a year and a half.)
Very true! I’m positive that there are places that don’t fit my experience — but I think the majority does seem to match, at least in the places I’ve been (most of the popular Western European countries)
You could also ask, why Pickle and not Safer Tensors or Msgpack?
Chasing code quality and code-quality-adjacent metrics often results in buggy apps.

Copying and pasting a line of code can become a future bug when someone doesn't refactor a line of code. But building some overwrought framework to avoid ever repeating anything can introduce classes of bugs that are much much harder to solve because of the layers of indirection.

And depending on what vertical you're in, sometimes releasing something is the best path to a more reliable app. If you're writing crud apps where 99% of the complexity is defined by business rules, getting a V1 out so you can learn all the places where the business rules were improperly captured gets you a better result than bikeshedding endlessly about having the most polished version of those broken assumptions.

tl;dr: sometimes "worse code" leads to a legitimately better end product for your users.
As with most Google Search features, it seems to have been degraded/nerfed over the years (as has competitor Shazam). I'm starting to think it's purposeful and on account of limited compute: devote a lot on launch to convince people of its quality, then gradually lower resources devoted to it. As long as 90% of searches - the ones for the most popular songs - work, the complaints from the subset of the 10% that don't won't rise to the level of requiring attention.
Every time you want to do a thing with the GIMP, you have to go find the specific thing-doer. That's not a really big deal, so long as you can remember where it is or what it is called; but it's really not good tool design.

To contrast, Blender has neatly organized every feature contextually. There are specific modes for organizing objects, editing meshes, sculpting, UV painting, etc. that each present their own smaller tailored UX. Everything that is an option (something you would edit with a text box) is under the properties window, in a contextually-organized tab. The entire structure of Blender's UI/UX is organized to match the conceptual UX of the tools it provides.

>Most heirs are not equipped to take on a tax bill that could potentially jump from $800 to $20,000 on the death of a parent,

This is a misleading and extremely outlying example. No one in CA, even if they bought their house for $80,000 and never made a single capital improvement, still has only $800 property tax bill, because it goes up each year (just not as much as the market value). And to get an increase of $20K in property tax, the house would have to be worth $3,000,000, which is still far above the median.

More importantly, the income tax benefit is orders of magnitude a bigger deal. Income tax on a $2,000,000 gain would be 23.8% federal at least, and probably well over 10% California (so about $650,000). Yet they will pay none of that, due to the basis adjustment to fair market value upon death of the owner(s).

If the heirs can't figure out how to keep the house via a secured loan and their $650,000 in income tax savings, they probably have much more pressing money problems to deal with I imagine.
This is a really helpful and comprehensive breakdown of the drawbacks. I'm not in the US, Australia, but on HN it's easy to view the US as some quality of life haven for SWEs without a countervailing opinion. Not helped by American nationalists who insist the country is the best on Earth.
