There are three specs that matter. (4wd matters in the hills, since it is surprisingly easy to get stuck on pavement/gravel when going uphill under load, but that is orthogonal).

The three things are bed capacity, max bed weight load, and towing capacity.

Weight in bed can matter, but once you’re above a few thousand pounds, you need to consider getting a dump trailer. Max carrying load matters more for conversions (e.g. to ambulances, adding toolboxes, etc). Towing matters for moving lots of weight.

In the cheap 150/1500 ICE class, Ford wins these days on bed capacity (3000lbs), due to having aluminum frames. Ram wins at towing capacity (10,000lbs).

As much as I like dunking the cybertruck for its impractical bed and Musk’s shenanigans, it can tow 14,000lbs, making it best in class for quarter ton trucks (assuming you count it in the same class as the ford F150 lightning).

So, I’d like one for driving to and from our local rockery, except that using it for that will beat it to hell, and a used truck + nice EV sedan will cost less, be more fun to drive, and win on total CO2 emissions. The sedan uses much less electricity than the cybertruck, and would be driven many more miles than the truck. I’d only put a few tanks of diesel into the truck per year.

Eventually, the grid will be more decarbonized, and batteries won’t be scarce. At that point, the cybertruck would probably be a better choice for me.

I'm following Rick Bayless' directions to check the _bottom_ of the avocado and use it or put it in the refrigerator (for 3-7 days) when it gives slightly.

I've mostly had good luck, but sometimes they're just bad to start with, bad because they're bruised from mishandling, or have been exposed to too much heat.

I don't see a lot of the tough leathery ones, but I have seen a few. (Seattle, so I'm not in the southwest.) I wonder if they are a different varietal or just dried out.
I mean, if the wheels are just spinning without traction it’s still at zero.
FWIW, there was recently a now-defunct car company (Lordstown motors) that utilized an in-wheel motor from the company Elaphe (https://in-wheel.com/en/technology/#in-wheel-motor-technolog...)

I think the tradeoff is between more flexibility & fewer parts (no cv joints) but possibly more rolling resistance.

But watch the video, this uni-wheel thing is different. It isnt an in-wheel motor, more of a cv-joint alternative?
Out of the top ten I believe only two make mid-size trucks. I wonder if there is any correlation?
> "Rounding errors" like these always favour the larger players.

I don't see it -- how?

> requiring each song to have 1k streams _per year_ before qualifying for monetization

Each stream is ~$0.004. It doesn't seem unreasonable at all to require a song to hit $4 per year -- or $0.33/mo. -- to qualify. There is some level of overhead involved here, after all. These are ludicrously small amounts of money.

Also how does this "help line the pockets of majors"? It's all just going back into the same pot of revenue that gets shared the same as before. So proportionally it's helping the artists with smaller songs still over 1K streams just as much.

And even if it's $40M, that's just 0.3% of Spotify's overall revenue. Proportionally, it's pretty irrelevant.

For our wedding reception (that we self-catered with a taco bar), we ordered a whole box of 100 avocados through our local school. Of course, we received them about 4 days ahead of time with the rest of the food, most of which would go bad if it sat around any longer. The avocados presented a problem: they wouldn't be ripe in time. After some asking around, we got the tip mentioned in this article, and we interspersed a dozen bananas in the box so we could JIT-compile some guacamole :) It was $4 to save the day!

I suspect the Roman tradition of slavery was much less brutal than the American chattel slavery we might be more familiar with. Out of the Roman republic/empire, there are numerous stories about slaves who become poets, authors, adopted sons/daughters with full rights, philosophers, etc.

A quick example, Epictetus was born a slave, but was sent to study philosophy by his master under the tutelage of Musonius Rufus. What kind of minds did the US system of slavery develop over the 200+ years it existed? Frederick Douglass is the only one that really comes to mind, and he succeeded in his intellectual development despite his masters trying to stymie him at every step.
What would be more useful would be some better UI for displaying the warnings.

e.g. -Woutput_warning_[html,json,text]=DIRECTORY_TO_OUTPUT_TO

It's possible something like this exists and I'm unaware...
I wonder how you could open up product development to the whole company (including engineers) without the product organization getting overwhelmed?
They made $1.4 billion in revenue on their Starlink internet service last year. Satellite internet was already a successful product before SpaceX entered the market, and they're providing much faster service at a lower price.

If you look at the space industry as a whole, over 60% of all rockets launched last year were by SpaceX, and their cost per kg launched is a fraction of their competitors.

It's strange to refer to this as "buzz" when they're objectively providing successful services that many people and organizations are paying for.
It's bizarre that this has been allowed, and that lawmakers didn't immediately fix this hole in the regulations as soon as they noticed car manufacturers taking advantage of it.

I wouldn't be so careless about sign conversion warnings. C can silently convert signed integers to unsigned and that can cause mayhem. I inherited a codebase that was exhibiting a classic signed conversion problem when a temperature reading dropped below 0°C. I simply turned on -Wextra and it flagged all the culprits with implicit conversion to unsigned. Throw in some casts and it was resolved.

I think most trades would be better served by a van rather than a pickup truck. Ingress and egress is much easier. It is also easier to load and drive due to lower center of gravity. Expensive tools are out of the elements and generally safer (and so less risk of tools and material making their way onto the highway). Plus, better drag coefficient and so better efficiency. Finally, a roof rack allows for those items you mentioned like sheetrock and plywood, ladders and pipes.
The biggest problem I see is most of these men have an ego that would never allow them to buy and drive a van.
A durometer, acoustic impulse-response and special UV-VIS spectrophotometer are all instruments used to detect avocado ripeness and usually work well.

A durometer is the cheapest at about $40. If you're right that it's impossible to tell by hardness then it wouldn't work. But you might find that it's more sensitive than your fingers and so it can work?

I would be interested to know the result of a durometer test on your fruits because about 85% of consumers report firmness as a useful measure - a lot but certainly not everyone. So yes maybe there is some granularity to discover there: specific situations where firmness just doesn't work well?

To each their own. I want my 64 bit integers to do what the CPU does, and I could bore you with useful examples where two's complement wrap around is exactly the right behavior.

But more importantly, I don't ever want to worry about stumbling into undefined behavior, and compiler extensions like -ftrapv or -fwrapv are not part of the standard. I can't count on those being there when I switch compilers, and if I write a library for others, I can't count on the application developer using the flags I need.

> And before you start on the “muh causality” deflection, observe that the verified claim says nothing about causality. We do know however that where there is causality there is correlation. So that is not proof, but it is evidence

This makes no sense whatsoever. Correlation doesn't imply causation, thus correlation by itself cannot be considered evidence of anything.

> And the evidence, such as it is, is stronger for the position that there is an association between psychiatric drugs and school boy murderers than that there isn't.

The website you just linked isn't even evidence of that.

It mentions 37 mass shooters, yes. But it doesn't provide an ounce of testable evidence about whether these people were actually using psychiatric drugs or not, and, for some of them, it cannot even name the supposed drug they were taking. And even if all of that was true, of over 1,000 personal-cause mass shootings since 1990, 37 is a drop in the bucket.

By the way, you have also lied by saying:

> As for your claim about a lack of evidence for psychiatric drugs being associated with homicidal behavior, an RCT showing psychiatric drugs cause homicidal behavior, well that simply isn’t possible due to ethical restrictions.

A cool DIY computer project could be a free re-creation of computers of the past. I believe it would make sense re-running the path of computer history, but pushing more and more open-source in it. You already can buy a NuXT, based on Sergey Kiselev's work to provide DIY resources to create a PC XT computer (including the BIOS).

I thought someone could enlarge the design to a more modern architecture when I found an old Compaq internal documentation showing the internal design of the first commercially available 80386 computer (Compaq Deskpro 386). I have just posted the reference on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38480275

Such new re-created computers would certainly be interesting to run legacy software, but it would also be very interesting to have modern and light-weigth software like KolibriOS (I know it requires a Pentium or more, but there is certainly little to change to downgrade to 80386).
At the time those were referred to internally as the Ranger Glider, which was a name I always kind of liked. I recall many of them going to Mexico at the time, I think as part of a government program.
A different comparison would be the following (from the manufacturers sites)

The classism/elitism problem is much more an image problem foisted/reinforced by pop culture than it is a real, inherent issue. When all you hear of classical music is on TV shows where it represents "the rich, elitist villain" or on ads for luxury goods, people reverse the association arrow.

How many people who perceive classical music as elitist actually have a personal experience of someone on the "inside" acting elitist and shunning them as "outsiders"?
I figured it out watching locals. The hand symbol has a rather obvious intention so the 3 dots in a circle symbol obviously has a different one.

You are free to do whatever you like. And others are free to do what they like.

"There is plenty of good music left to be written in C major." - Schoenberg

I got that from Alex Ross's The Rest is Noise, an accessible history of 20th century composition. I went in ready to dislike Schoenberg but I walked away pretty charmed with him. I don't enjoy listening to any of his serial pieces, but I loved the twinkly little notes that play in Zelda BOTW when you're riding your horse. I don't claim that there's a _direct_ line from 12 tone rows to that, but overall I like living in the post-Schoenberg world where I hear a lot of the "intrepid elements of atonality, pointillist riffs" that the Atlantic author points to.
Oh, maybe I missed the point then?

There is a pedestrian crossing installed in Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah, by a popular sledding hill, a few miles down-canyon of two large ski hills. It is essentially an "instant" transition crossing. The moment a pedestrian triggers it, it switches on warnings, and very quickly turns to solid red stop. The solid stop lasts upwards of 15 seconds, at which point it turns to a warning stop (stop and roll through, flashing red lights).

There is no cool-down period on how frequently it can trigger, and there is no platooning, so at the end of the day when everyone is going home, intermittent pedestrian traffic, say, one person every 20 seconds, is enough to back traffic up all the way to the end of the canyon.

A simple bit of platooning, or a traffic detector (loops aren't good in the canyons, plows rip em up, so probably a radar based approach), would solve this, for this case at least

Exactly. So much value you're offering here. I wish more vendors had your attitude.

Before I buy a (digital) movie, I end up renting it first. The rental costs me $2.99 and if I like the movie, I purchase it for $15.99. Yes, Amazon (or whomever) makes more money off of me, but I would rather pay the "wasted" $3 in order to decide if the movie is worth watching again. In a lot of cases, I don't want to repeat the movie again.

Like I said, your approach is transparent and builds trust. People dislike the new "rental/subscription" model that is being forced. Anyway, kudos and thanks for the reply.
I can't see how it's any different. If you have 0x0y0z, a shift+or gives 0x0yxz, so the result is same as what you have, just with fewer operations.

> I'd be more than willing to try another tiling window manager on Mac if there's one out there that truly works

Hello, AeroSpace author speaking :)

I'd be happy if you could try AeroSpace (it's and i3-like window manager for macOS) and report me back if it loses track of windows.

https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

The architecture of AeroSpace is that on every user input that may change window configuration (new window created, window moved, window resized, new app launched, etc), AeroSpace runs the same idempotent operation (I call it "refresh session") that tries to detect new window, checks all invariants, re-layouts windows, etc.

The "refresh session" performs all the mentioned steps regardless of the user input nature (it doesn't matter whether the window is moved, or a new app is launched)

I believe that this architecture may lose windows only if the macOS API returns invalid data.

I have been using AeroSpace for quite a while myself and I'm happy with it
