I suggest you get a Tesla and enjoy it; I love my Model Y.

These hit pieces are stupid. Look at the high satisfaction rates - equal to other luxury brands - mentioned in another comment. I'm nowhere near alone in loving my Tesla and plan to purchase more in the future.

Yep, I had to have my trunk latch replaced (service center is 2 hours away, but they sent a mobile service vehicle to replace it free in the parking lot at my work - super convenient!). And the 12v battery died, which was annoying.

Other than that it's been rock solid and soooo fun to drive. No oil changes no gas station visits, and I use full self driving every day. Every single time I accelerate, I floor it and it throws me back in the seat. It holds 7 passengers (I have small kids for the tiny back two seats) and does 0-60 in 4.7s. Woo hoo!

It's the best purchase I've ever made and gives me joy every day. Your mileage may vary!
Bear in mind that the Java design was only half done when it got shipped - I would love to see what both Java and JavaScript would have been if their creators had been given the time to actually finish their respective designs.
Did Twitter expand the character limit for tweets, or just remove it for accounts Elon likes?

Did you use that time to update relevant accounts?

Not sure what the gripe is here, especially with a one year notification period.
> Yeah, except I prefer the cleanliness of Gnome over how scattershot and buggy KDE feels

But if it's the difference between gaming working or not for you, wouldn't you rather use it? Surely you barely interact with it anyway while gaming, only to get into Steam?

If this is a machine you use for something else too, you could just have a gaming user that logs in to KDE and your normal user that uses Gnome?

Definitely a fair comment. I didn't mean to imply that I'd attempted to grow all of the heirlooms out there!
I am for whatever tool I can sell to frustrated executives for a handsome commission and be half way on to my next job by the time they figure out it’s pure, 100% snake oil.
I genuinely appreciate you proving my point.

I am not here debating DRM or anticheat. Simple pointing out that telling someone the game they play is garbage because it uses anticheat does nothing but hurts the Linux ecosystem.

You can come up with another essay but I don’t think it disproves what I am saying. Telling someone the game they play is garbage is not increasing the Linux user base. I am sure there will be a retort here, “we don’t want those kind of users or related software”.

You can install it upon Arch from AUR.

Putting that aside:

Windows users always find a reason not to switch to Linux because some missing feature. In two years? There will be another new feature or game on Windows. I remember people insisting on using Windows because it support their „3D-Shutter glasses“ or their card from Nvidia.
Either you want use Linux or not :)

Why are many features initially only available on Windows?

First. That is wrong. Important features like cgroups, namespace and containers/Flatpak where novelly developed upon Linux.

Second? MBAs only look at past numbers. So Windows often get traditional Windows stuff first. You make guess it, innovative companies care about what will be possible in future. Valve for example.

The MBA style thinking is also in many consumers. Still buying Nvidia? Because they were faster in the paper sheet? I prefer the cards which works well with Linux, so AMD or Intel. Frames actually generated are more worth than problems with proprietary drivers.

PS: Linux has maybe won the war against drives. Seems like Nvidia open most stuff slowly and feature land in the nouveau-module or mesa. A decade to late. I’m already in Team AMD ;)
RPM files are also no longer reliably CPIO compatible. 99.999% are, but as CPIO doesn't allow file sizes larger than 4gb, creating such an RPM will use a custom archive scheme incompatible with CPIO.

However, it's not particularly common practice to stuff a 4gb file into an RPM, so at least at the moment, it's not a very big practical issue.
https://nebuchadnezzar-megolm.github.io/ has details of the main issues I recall (most/all fixed as I understand it).
Where did I isolate it to any sex? I provided a source, feel free to provide other sources if you feel like there’s a need for balance.
To be fair the syntactic sugar that is impl Trait could be done as a generic parameter with restrictions as I understand it? The concept of impl Trait for parameters and returns seems intricately tied to Future trait. It’s interesting to see some of the inner workings of the compiler team in the process of this be in my view somewhat conservative on the feature, rightfully so! I love the language and the compiler. The stewards of it seem careful and that’s in my view a good thing.
>The stated ones, about NATO expansion, have backfired. But just because Moscow was stupid doesn’t also mean it was absolutely the aggressor.

I dont think you can stake this claim without understanding the objectives, the resolution of the war, and especially exploring the counterfactual from the Russian perspective.

It is easy to sit and the west and imagine that Russia regrets its actions deep down, but as bad as this outcome is, I think you have to ask if there are even worse outcomes that were considered from inaction.

This is a separate question from those about morality or aggressors, but one of realpolitik incentives.

Conversely, you can ask the same questions about the US failed wars in Vietnam and the middle east. Obviously many or most objectives were not met, but were enough met to better the counterfactual?

There are very few people I’d grant indefinite sharing to. I’ll forget that it’s there and I can think of all sorts of scenarios like white lies about why I can’t attend some event they’re putting on. Maybe not the end of the world but just aren’t many people who need that sort of deep visibility into my day to day comings and goings. It seems very invasive.

And the spare key analogy seems poor. I can trust a friend not to use a spare key to facilitate robbing my house which they could presumably break into anyway—without my minute to minute movements being any of their business.
I didn’t, thanks for sharing! This is lovely
At 86 per 100k per year, if we assume the average loss is about 50k (which might be high) we are talking like a $43 insurance premium per year?

If I understand that correctly it is not a huge problem to focus on? But we should keep an eye on the trend continuing.

I wonder what the ROI on additional criminal justice costs or additional antitheft costs is? They would have to be pretty cheap to make it worth it.
There are two issues I ran into after setting up iCloud mail for someone else:

1. Apple’s spam filtering can be very proactive, and the only way to (allegedly) influence it is to move false positives back to the inbox. There are no settings to whitelist addresses (having them in Contacts doesn’t work reliably) or to turn off spam filtering altogether. As often with Apple, you have to accept their design choices of how they think stuff should work, and can’t do much about it.

2. If you’re transferring or forwarding emails from another account, Apple has a 20 MB email size limit while it’s 25 MB for GMail, which means there may be emails that can’t be transferred.

In any case, I would recommend having your own domain and choosing email providers that support custom domains. That way, you can switch email providers at will while retaining your existing email address(es).
MLS addresses many of these issues and both Matrix and XMPP are working on incorporating it.
We got 2 kids, 6 and 2. We both work full-time. Our priorities are kids first and then career. So we have made decisions that are not maximizing our earnings potential like taking a WFH job over higher paying positions.

We are okay with it for now. As someone who eventually wants to do my own thing, I’m not too worried about climbing corporate ladder. Probably when kids are older and need us less, I will re-start working on my side projects. In the meantime, I’m improving my technical and leadership skills.

I do want them to pursue their dreams though and if I don’t pursue mine, then it would be pretty hypocritical of me. So I think we should set an example for them with our actions. Just need to take care of responsibilities before chasing big dreams.

One thing, kids are hard but they teach you things that will help you in career. In my younger years, I was impatient with others, had hard time being assertive, didn’t know how to work with distractions in background. Now kids have taught me all these skills which let me be better teammate and mentor.

Thanks, didn't know that.

Sounds like we could potentially get some Windows ARM64 builds happening as well then. Might be a project for a future weekend. :)
> The principle of good design can be restated for languages:

A key statement for our budding language designers on HN.

However they do go on to state that LISP is about linked structures, and APL is about arrays, which is wrong really - or at least does not do full justice to the ideas behind both.

Sending messages between independently acting 'objects' sounds elegant and powerful, but in the large does not address (and perhaps exacerbates) the most critical problem facing software engineering - namely the control of complexity.
He’s talking about https://nebuchadnezzar-megolm.github.io/ - and the fact that group membership in Matrix is currently determined by the server rather than a client. So if Alice is in a DM with Bob, Bob’s server could make up malicious devices for Bob, or fabricate an invite to add Charlie to the room. This is mitigated by encouraging users to verify devices, so Bob’s fake device would be recognised as an attacker - and for faked invites, relying on Alice and Bob spotting that an unexpected malicious user just joined their conversation.

However, it could be better: first we have been converging on a single Rust crypto impl (at last) - see the crypto section of https://matrix.org/blog/2023/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update.... Then we’re shifting to TOFU (so unsigned devices never get encrypted for). Then, finally, we’re shifting to client-constrained group membership (unless MIMI gets there first, and then we may switch horses to their MLS-based solution).

edit: the other issues raised by the nebuchadnezzar paper were impl bugs in the 1st gen crypto impls, which were fixed at the time. also, the premise that you can’t add encryption posthoc to a protocol is flawed, imo. Matrix may not have nailed it, but as long as you consider the crypto as if it’s a new protocol and have the agility to evolve to it, everyone wins.

edit 2: there is no centralised db of who talks to who in Matrix. individual servers can see who shares a conversation which their server participates in, but this is very hard to avoid given you could always figure it out via traffic analysis (unless you go down a Nym style mixnet solution).

Actually, proprioception can be fooled quite easily. There are a number of different examples involving phantom limbs, vestigial tails, redirected walking, etc.

Almost none of the human senses are absolute. They are holistic, subjective, and relative to experience (both recent and past), culture, age, etc. Honestly, the fact that we can get any semblance of objective communication of our senses together, based on how wonky and unreliable the individual parts can be, is amazing.
A while back after reading about how many above ground atomic tests we did in the 1950s I found myself wondering: what are we doing right now where future generations will look back and ask "what were they thinking?"

Other than burning all the carbon, I think this insane totally unregulated, opaque, user-hostile, leaky, insecure surveillance panopticon is a good candidate for a large scale human self-own.

Privacy loss is a little like climate change. The problem builds but nothing obviously bad happens right away, so people don't notice or don't really care. Nothing bad happens until it does but when it does it's too late.

One of the things I've found is that Europeans seem much more concerned about privacy than Americans. I've chalked this up to their experience in the 20th century with Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, and the Soviet sphere of influence. Maybe Americans need their own experience with totalitarianism to show them why surrendering all privacy for convenience and free candy might not be a great idea. (Who knows... we might get it soon!)

Another class of very bad things that can happen is foreign influence powered by all this surveillance. We've already seen some of this from Russia, but China is smarter and better funded and probably has 100X the data and access. If they decide to invade Taiwan expect a full information warfare assault against the US population powered by fine grained surveillance data and delivered via social media. Since they probably know when you go to the bathroom, they'll be able to use AI with all this information to micro-target every single individual.
Heh, I was pretty young when I first managed to get my hands on a CF license. Like others said, CFML was amazing. The other thing I found that was amazing was their IDE. It was folded into Dreamweaver and never really fully recovered down the line but it really set the standard for features like symbol/syntax completion.

The misgiving it had I think was in being expensive and totally proprietary. I think it died sometime after the Adobe acquisition and cost was all I heard about. Interesting that there's a FOSS fork now though!
You have a patchwork of solutions to deal with the lack of tracking. Some people don't like the mental overhead of that patchwork of solutions and would rather have GPS tracking. It's a valid trade off.

It is however typical HN mentality to assume that nobody wants tracking whereas it is a matter of individual choice.

> a very steep price for me

Great. Now have some empathy with people for whom the price isn't steep at all.
> The boots on the ground for the major power backed forces don't tend to want to be there

How do you get here? It would be obvious to me that IDF forces are enthusiastically dismantling Hamas by invading Gaza.
Yes, it works for most search engines.
Insulated windows are possible albeit extremely expensive in SF.

They need to be:

1.) wooden
2.) vertically opening
3.) same style as the old windows

The windows the OP posted are 100% illegal since they do not fit the character of existing windows (wooden and vertical).
Another great example is video games.

Gamers will come up with all sorts of ideas that sound cool but have nothing fun to them except the initial novelty, particularly when it comes to simulation style games (eg "I should be able to walk around my spaceship and be able to do spacewalks to patch up the hull after micrometeorite impacts").

But on the other hand it is also very common for companies/developers to take this too far and blame the players for being wrong in not enjoying their game.
These issues are bad enougj, that they did hurt Teslas quarterly results due to the warranty repair bills. Once warranty repairs costs are almost 2x ypur quartly profits, you have a very serious product quality problem. If ypu decide then, in order to save money, to pass your product quality costs and problems to your customers, you are a shobby business with shobby products.

Do you have good recommendations to learn about this stuff? I've covered a decent amount of information theory, signal processing, systems control and generally relevant concepts in classical physics (boltzman, thermodynamics, the beginning of a hint of quantum chemistry). Your mention of everything being energy resonates (hah) with me of course, but quantum computing remains entirely elusive to me as both a structured framework of anything related to qubits and actual real-world things that will be made with it. Almost seems like quantum computing is so orthogonal to classical computing that you can only wrap your head around it as much as you can perceive a hypercube.

My experience is that contemporary varieties of tomatoes grown at home are much better than those grown by the big producers. I'm not sure why, but our tomatoes are always red all the way through. The ones from the store are often whiter and coarse-grained inside. Actually, the same thing happens with strawberries.
Probably the most authoritative current definition os cpio file format is description of pax utility in Single UNIX Specification, which states that "FIFO special files, directories, and the trailer shall be recorded with c_filesize equal to zero.".

What to do with CPIO archive that has non-zero c_filesize for directory is an interesting question. It seems to me that it is equally likely that such broken CPIO archive has c_filedata really empty and that it contains actual mostly meaningless data in there (most likely series of struct dirents in some format as returned by calling read(2) on directory).

In most cases the car trackers are trivially simple for criminals to defeat. They really aren't a big detergent. Even if you're using a good aftermarket one, its not a detergent but a recovery tool - if they know about it they can usually disable it.

Do you mean GM or Honda?

> On September 17, 2015, General Motors entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the United States Department of Justice, in which GM admitted that "from in or about the spring of 2012 through in or about February 2014, GM failed to disclose a deadly safety defect to its U.S. regulator ... It also falsely represented to consumers that vehicles containing the defect posed no safety concern."[5] As part of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement, GM agreed to forfeit $900 million to the United States.[5][51] GM gave $600 million in compensation to surviving victims of accidents caused by faulty ignition switches.[52][53]

Some people had had PalmPilots for years when Jobs launched the iPhone and were wondering why no one puts a cell phone on them...

Also some people (looks in mirror) had noticed that you could press buttons in apps with your thumbs even on the resistive Palm touch screens and were hoping they enlarge the scroll bars so you can at least view data without taking out the stylus.

Yes, there was the Treo, but mobile internet was still crap and expensive. If i recall correctly, they even added a keyboard back because their customers thought they needed better Blackberrys?
