Probably the old "game port." That's cool. My experience was definitely more in the "use the A, S, Z, and X keys for the face buttons" realm.
I am not convinced that it would. The quick team will get to learn three times as much and adapt to the actual customer need. The cost of change in a system built with stability as a quality attribute will be higher. (As you can see from a system like the old mainframes!)
I don’t think it was a typo.

Privatizing all roads would ironically probably be the fastest way to cut down on oversized vehicles. Nobody wants to pay a quadratic weighted toll on the GVWR of a bunch of extra SUV, but when they have to pay it all in taxes non-quadratically anyway it's a fuck it go big moment.

NYC has a ton of people at the top of their fields in a really dense setting. I wonder what city services cause such a big shortfall! On paper it should be easier to finance NYC than any other big city, so I wonder where the money goes.

Or an I incorrect and the city is poorer than I think? Perhaps Long Island sucks more incomes away from the city than I thought?
Rocket was created by Sergio Benitez. He is almost exclusively the only contributor to the project. Not because people don't want to contribute to it, but because the author wants to have it as sort of his child's brain. And there is nothing bad about that. But recently he said at a conference (as I read on Reddit) that he does not have much time anymore to invest in its development. That means that there is probably no bright future for Rocket. Especially because a batteries-included framework like this takes so much effort to develop and polish.

I think that a website or API backend is the first project for many newcomers to Rust. It would be better for them to have first experience with other frameworks such that they are not let down by Rocket as it might cast a bad light at the whole ecosystem.

Rocket looks tempting because a/ it has a nice website b/ it looks feature complete c/ it is similar to Django/Flask which might make it more familiar d/ other web frameworks don't have particularly appealing documentation.

That's great. Do we expect the typical HN reader to know this? While I don't think I'm 100% representative, I looked at that title and thought "wow, that's a really big truck! Is it used for mining?"
It is about safety. Larger cars on the streets are more dangerous for the people living in the city.

Cars have been getting ridiculously large over the past decades because the only force acting upon carmakers is the desire of the car buyer.

If I’m buying a car, I obviously want the largest car I can afford and semi-reasonably fit where I’m going to be. This has many benefits for me, but a lot of negative externalites for everyone around me.

That is why policies need to discourage larger cars in many ways, to keep the average size in check, so to speak.

> road wear and tire wear and hence micro plastics, scale to the fourth with vehicle weight,

(Emphasis mine) Do you have a source for this? I do not see how this specific claim could be true, and I am not sure how exactly that needs to be modified to make it true.

I mean, if you take a vehicle that weights one ton and double the number of wheels, that specific claim says that the road/tire wear would not change, as the vehicle weight stays the same. Further, doubling the wheels can't easily be distinguished from splitting the load to two vehicles with half the weight, which should reduce wear & tear of each vehicle to one sixteenth, totaling to one eighth. So there is kind of a contradiction.

And as a sanity check, a passenger car weights ~10^3 kg. A large truck weights ~10^4. So a truck would wear the road something like as much as 10 000 passenger cars. That's a bit hard to believe.

So the actual law might be something like tear & wear scales to the fourth of the weight on a single wheel. But even that leaves something to hope, as I think you need to assume similar wheels. So maybe the actual law has something to do with pressure on the road?
I've read a couple histories of the Apollo program, and they spared no effort to keep the astronauts safe.

> It's silly to expect SW to be any different.

True, I can't disagree.

However, it's important to note that there is something different about the software world, in that very large subsets of applications and infrastructure of large for-profit companies are built on top of the free labor of open source.

Not sure if that's true in any other craft.

If unpaid open source were to magically disappear overnight, all of the Internet and all tech-using companies would collapse immediately.

It's absolutely pertinent to this discussion, this whole discussion is about whether the GIL is part of the semantics of a Python program or not. My position is that it is because the GIL is a part of the CPython reference implementation.

Others object saying that the Python reference document is what specifies its semantics, not the reference implementation.

My position is that both the CPython reference implementation and the reference documentation are valid sources that document Python's semantics and that they both can and should be used.

I love it. Went there, and it gave me two options. One with a 17.2 year payback, and a second where I get a loan and my 20 year savings are -$27K. Ha! Seems like they should just replace that second option with "we calculated this one and it turns out you'd lose a bunch of money, it's not feasible."

Alas, 17.2 years is longer than my current roof has left before replacement, and almost certainly longer than I'll live here. Maybe the next house. Especially since I'm thinking of moving somewhere with enough open land that I can just DIY a nice ground-mount setup instead of mucking about with holes in the roof.
> But it gets worse. The Supremes' code also omit key definitions found in the codes that bind the lower courts. The most important definition to be cut is for "political organization," which the lower courts define expansively as both parties and "entit[ies] whose principal purpose is to advocate for or against political candidates or parties." That definition captures "nonprofits, think tanks, lobbying firms, trade associations, grassroots groups" – the whole panoply of organizations whom federal judges must maintain an arm's length distance from in order to preserve their objectivity. Federal judges may not lead, speak at or donate to these organizations.

By omitting this definition, the Supremes open the door to involvement with precisely the kinds of PACs, thinktanks and other influence organizations funded by the billionaires who have benefited so handsomely from the judges' rulings.

What's more, the Supremes carve out an explicit exemption for speaking to "nonprofits, think tanks, lobbying firms, trade associations, grassroots groups," and to serving as a director, trustee or officer of "a nonprofit organization devoted to the law, the legal system, or the administration of justice and may assist such an organization in the management and investment of funds."

ah! I love this idea! :D
It means all derivative works of microcloud must also be licensed AGPL (if someone else "links" other software into it, makes modifications and re-distributes, they must provide those modifications, etc).

Any company can sell microcloud, but it must remain AGPL.

This license choice is a defense against microcloud being assimilated into proprietary products.

(Now I'll guess at the motivation of your original question. Lemme know if I missed your point...) The AGPL doesn't apply to any containers or VMs running in a microcloud any more than Ubuntu's licensing applies to programs you run on Ubuntu.
That’s actually not true and this is the mistaken idea engineers have. It’s not a negotiation. User value that translates to business goals strictly always trumps internal code. Or you don’t have a business to fund that code. You find a way to do it if you need to fund the business. If not your are sunk.
hmm, all diesel trains use electric track motors.
Anyone who can watch that "simulated Attenborough" video and still say "An artificial intelligence system trained on words and sentences alone will never approximate human understanding" is living on a different plane of reality altogether.

Either that, or the humans they know are a lot smarter than the ones I know.

Imo, the main concern is that it's tied into your google account. That's a lot of eggs for one basket. What if some ML model has a bad day and bans your account? It's not terrifically likely to happen, but if it did, how much would you lose?

On the other hand, I trust google's ability to store my data more than some homebrewed app.

As usual, the best solution will vary, but will always include secure offsite backups.

You're specifically talking about Docker/OCI containers; but "containers" have actually been around a lot longer than that — specifically on the sorts of mainframe systems that banks use.

A workload on e.g. IBM z/VM is/was basically "a container" — in the sense that it was an application filesystem or binary, packaged up with a manifest that specified what environment the application expects to be run under; where it's the workload manager's responsibility to arrange a sandbox to run the application within that'll meet the application's needs.

Of course, this was less about supplying an operating system to wrap around the container-image (ala Elastic Beanstalk), and more about supplying a particular flavor of emulated hardware for the workload to run "on bare metal" against. But applications of the day were bare metal — unikernels, if you want to call them that — and mainframe ISAs/memory-maps of the day were much like older-generation game console ISAs/memory-maps, in that the "bare metal" directly exposed advanced host services through CPU instructions and IO ports specific to the microarchitecture of the machine. The hardware "was" the OS, per se; and so emulating different hardware was in effect a virtualization of different operating systems.

A good way to understand these mainframe ISAs, might be to picture a high-level and complex runtime-based compilation target like Macromedia Flash bytecode: sure, it's "an ISA", but each op can cause extremely complex things to happen at the runtime level. The "runtime" of a physical mainframe would originally be "in hardware" — consisting of "accelerator" boards triggered by the CPU. But in z/VM, the "runtimes" of each "hardware profile" a workload might ask to be run under, are just regular old runtimes. Like Flash. Or a JVM. Or a software x86 emulator, with hardware paravirtualization care of x86 "application processors" living on accelerator cards.

To me, this abstraction — of a hypervisor that can support running workloads built for many different ISAs and microarchitectures, with these representing anything from low-level-emulated real machines (like x86) to high-level-virtualized real machines (like some specific mainframe) to high-level-virtualized abstract machines (like a JVM) — is obviously something that could have been used as "containerization" by those interested in doing so, even as far back as 1972's VM/370. And even those who weren't thinking in terms of "building a container", were still doing something very similar, in creating workloads as disk-image-based unikernels that assume full memory access, and which rely upon a single-tasking single-user exokernel library OS like DOS or CPM (but the z/VM equivalent, because they were writing programs that manipulated batch database records, not files, so regular DOS routines would be pretty useless.) Taking your "application disk" that you had developed to boot on your workstation, and uploading it byte-for-byte to your mainframe to be executed with 1000x concurrency over a batch workload, was exactly the sort of "shipping development to production" that we expect from containerization today.

Tesla will also come to my house (or any other address I specify within their service coverage area) with a mobile ranger to do the service I don't want to do myself (brake fluid exchange every 2 years). I wish other automakers would offer this. Not EV specific, but a material improvement in user experience imho. Major work will still require a shop visit (dropping the HV battery pack, motor replacement, other major mechanicals).

(I am aware of YourMechanic and other similar services, but having the unified experience with a brand is nice and fancy, I can order it in the Tesla app and the maintenance records can easily transfer to the next VIN owner)

This is a widely believed factoid on the internets but is not supported by the numbers. Roads have always been a relatively small percentage of government spending and has been going down over time.

This works as long as the increases in density come from widening the range of voltages in which the battery is stable - that has happened in history with the advent of 4.35V cells (vs the previous figure of 4.2V@100% charge).

Current approaches like silicon-enriched or pure lithium metal anodes indeed use less materials, but they're decreasing the size of the less dense of the two electrodes, as the metal cathode is typically much denser and heavier than the graphite anode, so ultimately you're getting more density, but largely because you're decreasing the volume of the whole thing.

Lithium is the limiting component, since it carries the charge - there's a theoretical limit how little you can use and we're within an order of magnitude of that.

That's 20 launches for 1 lunar mission. Vs 1 Artemis launch per lunar mission. Comparable to 800 million for 1 lunar mission for SpaceX.

So, 4.1 / .8 ... Starship would need to be 5.125 times the cost estimated to cost as much as Artemis. As others pointed out, it relies on un-tested in-orbit refueling and 20 times the opportunity for launch failure. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 5x off.

I don't know what SpaceX's overrun record is so far, but I'm sure it's way less than 5x.

Edit: It did take 20 tries[0] to get from the first launch of Falcon 9 to vertical landing (after a detour through parachuting systems).

40 million seems like a post-development estimate.

The one thing that stops me from using something other than Google Photos is that I use GPhotos for sharing with others, and I don't want people to have to sign up for a new account just to join albums, and I don't want them to have to install a new app in order to add photos to shared albums. I just don't think that's going to happen.

Looks like Immich supports OAuth, so presumably people could sign into my instance with their Google Account credentials. But then does the mobile app start using my instance to upload their photos, even if it's unrelated to an album I've shared with them? Kinda confused how this is supposed to work.

I will point out that getting around by cab is only really "solving" the problem of urban car storage and not....any other issues with cars in urban environments, like traffic or the portion of public space devoted to car travel lanes.

And in some cases they may actually make traffic worse with increased circling behaviors in the highest-demand (and often, most congested) parts of the city.
Yeah, a big fear of mine is having ten years worth of photos deleted in one fell swoop (or, at least, access to them removed without recourse, which comes to the same thing) because an AI thinks that a half-nude photo of my three-year-old is CSAM.

Of course, what that actually means in practice is that I should just regularly archive.
