Yeah, thats logical. He sees things getting worse and sees he was too reasonable in the past. "Maybe if I am more zealous and less reasonable, I might be able to be part of a less-worse future."

It's a biased way of seeing things, but very understandable.

I use both and I prefer the Spotify interface by a mile, but I'm "stuck" with YT Music because they let me upload my own MP3s (Spotify does not). Without that ability, I can't make playlists I want because I don't have access to the songs I want.

But yeah, they bare essentially interchangeable, unless you care a lot about your "year in review" stuff.
> only if you cherry-pick the ones that you like.

As did you. Every item you've cherry-picked used a multimedia app paradigm (similar to a CD ROM of the era) or was a novelty (Winamp). If you look a best-selling titles of the era, you'll find a lot of buy-in to both Mac and Windows HIG. Back then people bought word processors, spreadsheets, and other software and had a pretty high expectation for interop and usability compared to now.

> Did Microsoft Word run entirely in a web browser like it does today?

Of course not! Developers were still figuring out what you could do with primitive browsers and limited servers. Most developers from the 90s were unaware of the web until 97-98.
This article sounds like it was written by someone with very little experience owning cars or living in a cold climate.

Air gets denser as it cools, which takes more work to push through.

Dense air contains more oxygen, making IC engines more efficient. Air isn't "pushed" through an engine, it's drawn in through the vacuum effect on the intake cycle.

Moreover, most of the complex parts in a car that require viscous fluids do not exist in a BEV, i.e., no engine or transmission to worry about.

Sure, but EV cars still have lubricants (including in the motor). At cold temperatures their viscosity increases, reducing the efficiency of the vehicle overall. Maybe it's less than a conventional vehicle but it's entirely speculation on the author's part.

Ten minutes of shivering as you wait for the engine to warm up is a thing of the ICE past.

Perhaps the last time the author was in a motor vehicle was in 1998, but "ten minutes of shivering" has not been in a thing in any IC car for a very long time. Modern cars also have resistive elements in the heater for this exact scenario.

"Because we have some bandwidth there, we like to call it an advanced heat pump system," Cansiani says.

Want to know what else is a heat pump system? The climate control in an IC car. It moves heat from the engine to inside the cabin when needed.

You need not worry about tailpipe emissions poisoning you in your garage because there is no tailpipe.

Once again, it's possible to warm up an IC car without running the engine. It's called resistive heating and it's been around since electricity was invented.

Internal combustion engines only offer acceptable response, as so many variables play a role in power delivery: air temperature, humidity, air quality, fuel quality, not to mention vehicle speed and gear selected, which determines engine speed. And, again, those pesky viscous fluids and their current temperatures also affect engine and transmission performance. All of that affects how quickly engines respond to the traction control system's needs and how accurately.

Finally, an advantage that electric motors have in snowy conditions! Unfortunately, the author attributes this to "those pesky viscous fluids!" which is just completely wrong. Electric motors can respond to changing traction much more quickly and accurately than gas engines, primarily because AWD systems can place one motor on each wheel and respond hundreds of times per second, which an IC engine can't do.

Just a really badly written article from someone who should not be writing about technology. I get that car manufacturers are struggling to sell EV cars, and that an entire party's platform rests on everyone throwing away their ICE vehicles immediately and trading them in for heavy, mining-intensive, but virtue-signalling EVs. Lying about the benefits will do more long-term harm to the climate movement though.

Edit: Apparently arstechnica (lol) felt the need to pin a comment defending the article and the author. If it's true that the author worked as an automotive engineer then he should be ashamed for writing such a bad article, from both a technical perspective and a journalistic perspective.
I know, but that post got a lot less votes and thus less visibility
> ipv4 TTL is dejure seconds

Huh. TIL. But how would a router know how long a packet took to traverse the hop? The packet doesn't have the information to figure that out … were they expecting people to configure routers to know how far away the previous hop was?

Also >1 second is most of the way to moon. (Yes, yes, speed in a non-vacuum is blah blah and switches blah buffers blah…)
I love the concept of nuclear power as an analogy for this type of technical debt! Very insightful.
Nope even if you install it using aurora store it requires a Google account linked in play services (you can't even log into it manually!). So even on a device with play services but no Google account logged in I get an error logging in. On a Google free device it definitely won't work.
Well I guess this is all part of the "revolution in health care" you hear about sometimes.

It could be worse and people on either side could end up completely revolting in more ways than they already are now.
People keep telling me this as an excuse but the original color scheme was more pleasing to the eye. The current color scheme is painful to the eyes. I know because I see the ugly green bubbles on my messages app on my iPhone. I also have an iPhone 3 in a drawer that sadly no longer works.

You know you wouldn’t want to swap the green and blue bubbles.
> Apply a 100%, 1,000%, or whatever percent necessary excise tax on manufactured products. With a sufficiently high premium for new products, consumers will automatically start prioritizing device longevity and/or repairability when making their purchasing decisions.

It’s a simple solution if you only care about device longevity and nothing else. You’re basically proposing that we vote to make new iPhones 50% more expensive.

Um no, I don’t think I’ll be voting on that. Good luck getting support for your bill.

They 'don't care' because they know that the M series processors were coming and now there is a built in death counter coming for Hackintoshes...the day they drop Intel support.

> Ironic complaint on a Rome thread :).

The Romans were primitives. Individually very impressive and for their time the society was incredible. But they didn't have access to the level of knowledge we do these days on how to create wealth and live comfortably. If they'd spent less time on pointless wars and more time on cheap energy, they too would have achieved better results.

Turns out, amazingly, that at no point in history was killing people and breaking stuff the path to long, happy, comfortable and prosperous living. I can see why nobody figured it out before the 1800s, but the fact is we're looking back on the works of Adam Smith and modern US politicians should know better. They do know better, in fact. They persist with the waste, death and destruction despite knowing better. And that is likely a factor in the Trump phenomenon. The norms they've been championing have had terrible consequences. China has humiliated the west, an actual we-should-be-red-faced-with-shame humiliation, by thriving peacefully. Why can't the US manage that, hm? At least the Trump rhetoric is consistent with the idea than the current political norms.
This is also a double edge sword in that if it's just a user-agent check the site tends to lack a well coded fallback for any functionality that is actually not supported and the page can silently break during usage. Not necessarily a problem for those that already know how to switch, but even just installing an extension for other people doesn't mean the sites are suddenly actually compatible. Sometimes even big sites like Microsoft Teams have this kind of problem for years at a time.

It's not the "ugly green bubble" that people hate, and ostracize others because of. It's the limitations of SMS messages coming into an iMessage group chat that can mess up the whole experience. Media is crappy, group messages don't work well, it's not encrypted. That said, It doesn't justify people being jerks about it. And yes, if the colors got swapped it would turn out the same - nobody cares about the color. I grant that the blues chosen probably have a branding and emotional draw to them, but this is seriously not about the color of the bubble.
I disagree. Templates would have given messages a whole new world. I haven't looked at Objective-C generics. They didn't exist in 1989.
> Seems like everything is rare for a startup to have.

It is.

Don't, unless it's 100% critical for success. You have to run super lean as a startup. You don't have time for ANYTHING except validating your business.

Horses aren't that much faster than walking. Horses can go about 30 miles/day. (That's the reason the Spanish mission towns in the US west were spaced about 30 miles apart.)

That's also about what people can walk in a day (Appalachian Trail through-hikers do about 3 miles per hour).

Now, trained trail horses can go far further in a day, but they require specialized training, food, and care, making them a very expensive plow-horse or cart-horse.

> All the browsers are probably counted as Firefox.

Firefox for iOS uses WebKit as the rendering engine, and the others are significantly divergent from Firefox proper and take significant development resources away from the core product, so I disagree with counting the products as a single browser.
I'm not! Averages should normalize the weights. But there are plenty of reasons to define convolutions where neither signal is normalized.
Very cool, thank you for sharing!

Do you consider your customer path someone coming from e.g. Airtable and converting? Or are you looking to find someone who would be choosing Django for their next project?

(This looks like something I would use Django for, although the additional building blocks are nice sugar on top too)
Ask HN: Have you ever built and sold a software yourself?
Does anyone of you have practical experience of coding something and selling it once or many times? Software can be anything and everything, from custom or CMS websites, browser extensions, plugins for existing software, specialized software for specific niches, embedded, cloud... practically anything.

To describe any of the aspects of the process, what is made to be sold once, what can be sold many times, what can be sold by subscription, which licenses are suitable, etc. Something that one or two programmers can build, we are not talking about large undertakings for which companies and teams are necessary.

It's nice to build, sell and earn something yourself, rather than working for someone else and selling your time. Lot more freedom and space for growth, and risk too.
"Please correct me if I am wrong" means I may have totally misinterpreted what you said, so there is no need to ask me to consider this, but its cool if english is not your first language. All the best thanks, don't worry about the dead-end, have a good evening.

Think about it in terms of what is rational. If there were serious costs to having your data leaked out like this people would rationally have a bit more trepidation. On the other hand, we are in the era where everyone by now has probably been pwned a half dozen times or more, to no effect usually on your real life. You might get disgusted that instagram watches what you watch to serve you more of that stuff and keep you on longer, other people love that sort of content optimization, I literally hear them gloat how their social media content feeds at this point have been so perfectly honed to show them whatever hobbies or sports they are interested in. Take a picture and it pushes to 5 services and people love that. Having an app already pull your contacts for you and match them up to existing users is great in the eyes of most people.

You are right that on the one hand these things could be used for really bad purposes, but they are pretty benign. Now if you start going "well social media posts can influence elections," sure, but so can TV, newspapers, the radio, a banner hauled by a prop plane, whatever, not like anythings changed. If anything its a safer environment for combating a slip to fascism now vs in the mid century when there were like three channels on TV and a handful of radio programs carefully regulated by the FCC and that's all the free flow of info you have short of smuggling the printed word like its the 1400s.

Given all of this, I can't really blame people for accepting the game they didn't create for how it is and gleaming convenience from it. Take smartphones out of the equation, take the internet out, take out computers, and our present dystopia is still functionally the same.
Skeptically.

Pinker has been called out for cherry picking by numerous other authors, and particularly Graeber/Wengrow who are a duo of academic anthropologist and archaeologist respectively. Another is Christopher Ryan. In both cases well reasoned counterarguments are poised against Pinker's reasoning.
Dry ice freezes out of the air at −78.5 °C; at ambient pressure. One wonders if like mars certain supercooled mountain bowls & valleys could accumulate a dry ice sheet.

It’s not the only way to charge; you could instead charge a Tesla at non-Tesla stations where you swipe a card. But for the Tesla way, why is it anti user? It’s not like they are monetizing your location data. Sure they could in theory but they bend over backwards pretty far not to gather private data in general. I suppose if they got purchased by another company maybe? But I don’t see that happening.

"Hey everyone, we need you abandon the single biggest asset you own for pennies on the dollar. Then move into some shit hole apartment building with paper thin walls. Oh no you won't own it, you'll just pay someone else who owns it and will evict you for any reason at all. Don't forget you'll have the added convenience of mass transit on public transit's schedule, including cancellations."

I wonder why people aren't jumping at the chance to move into dense cities?

Perhaps you are right. It's an interesting area of research for sure, as the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system of these vaccines is new, and a lot of hypothesizing has been done that the residual DNA being encapsulated in the LNP makes it easier to transfect (the LNP is specifically designed to be able to enter cells) and resistant to the typical biological processes (nucleases) that would prevent integration
I am very well aware that there is no broad political support for reducing our consumption. That is why I have no qualms about consuming as much as I do. However, I will support effective measures like this and denounce lip service measures like recycling plastics or measures that target only certain populations.

I think fediverse offers a decent compromise here which is that people can self-host an instance for other people to use. Some of the longest running instances have a few hundred users or maybe a thousand. So if one in 300 people is interested in self-hosting then they can support the other people who either don't have the skills or don't have the interest. It's not perfect but it's working pretty well for those servers.

Spotify may very well be bloated, but this comparison is ridiculous.
How bizarre! Me and a colleague ( who's still a good friend ) wrote this in like, 2012-2013! Well, more accurately we ported this from a older Delphi/Pascal program that was using raw OpenGL calls ( a legitimately very impressive bit of code for what it was written in ) into WebGL ( a relatively new piece of technology at the time )

The primary reason for porting this to a modern platform was ( as far as I understood ) so that it could be run on interactive events for schools and such. It's definitely more optimised for fun than realism. I remember a few good memories of various people who were actually nuclear engineers complaining that realistically the demand would never change that fast on any commercial nuclear power plant!
OK I tried it with a former address, and it was a very familiar AI experience. The response was on-the-money accurate, until it just wasn't. It needs more work is what I'm saying.
> So much of science became only possible because of better instruments.

I would argue a stronger claim: experimental confirmation of theories and better measurements must always bootstrap each other. The history of temperature has many examples [1].

A difference in today's world is that private companies are amassing data that then gets turned around to the highest bidder. The government may not have had an interest in collecting the data before but now the friction to obtaining it and the insights is basically just money, which is plenty available.

Your opinion on bannable offenses is pretty bewildering. There was a point in time when people thought it would be crazy to outlaw slavery, from your post I might think that you would not be in support of what eventually happened to that practice.

Shows the value of approaching a problem from a completely different perspective and mindset. I bet if Evan had instead majored in CS at a top school he would have come up with something very different (or just used react or something). It’s pretty rare to find someone from a design background who can master the programming chops to that level while having all the design sensibility.
Not sure if that will ever improve.

That's absurd. Firefox has been at parity with Chrome for a long time, both are extremely mature technologies. Sometimes one is ahead of the other in one way or the other, but they are largely identical. The exception is when Google or Microsoft "accidentally" break their websites on Firefox.

It's pure fantasy to insist that the market share of Firefox is primarily driven by technical merit. Otherwise, you couldn't explain why Firefox is still at 20% in Germany, for example.

Dvorak and/or Dvorak for programmers is everything what you need if talking about keyboard layouts. Better to do it from childhood for not even exposing your muscle memory to the qwerty. If you do it not from your childhood then you are going to consider such shitty layouts as Colemak/Workman as something reasonable because of being a slave of your habits.
You don't need to add that much latency if the display is capable of some kind of GSYNC-like mechanism and a high data rate.
