Somewhat on topic: What is a good way of displaying a specific layout of Emacs windows when I open a Terraform file in a git repo? I already have the language server working ok. There's some interaction between VSCode and terraform-ls that uses all CPU cores at 100% so I'd like to move to Emacs for Terraform stuff.
The OG Tesla chargers charged at 125kW but the standard ones now charge at 250kW and a select few newer cars charge at 350kW.

55kW sounds like it uses Chademo?

It's possible that reports about the resurgence of physical media (based on numbers provided by the historically, very shady publishers) doesn't reflect the reality faced by people who sell physical media.
I havent clicked the link yet - but already in love... lemme go clone it play it and call it M O O N - that spells Tower Defense.

EDIT:

DOpe - I really like this game mechanic - It would be cool to be able to spawn more units ...

Also there is a bug in the game - the POWER button doesnt highlight when its purchasable...

Am I supposed to be able to move the character?

No keyboard input works - Main menu just restarts the game?
For a good companion to smooth scrolling, check out parallax background scrolling: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/v2jb9o/wezterm_pa...

A programmatic "infinite parallax wallpaper" made of a few shaped blobs (to avoid making the foregound text hard to read) could help our visual system (build for a 3d world) keep track of the scrolling text without doing smooth scrolling directly, and without the helping "visual hints" scrollbars provide.
I'm imagining a not-so-distant future where LLM's start to need daycare services and places for them to go and hang out at, social media sites. An occupied LLM is less likely to become skynet maybe? :)
A 4 part dramatization of the wrongful conviction of multiple UK postmasters. Many innocent UK postmasters were fined, sacked and/or imprisoned due to 'shortfalls' in takings that were due to bugs in the Post Offices's 'Horizon' system. Even though The Post Office and Fujitsu were aware of these issues. It has been described as the greatest miscarriage of justice in UK history.

If it takes more than an hour of car travel then how long will it take without a car? I imagine your argument is that without cars the city wouldn't be as big, but the math doesn't work out: the travel time is proportional to the square root of the area while the additional area is linear. If a city with cars is triple the size of the same one without it would have taken only 1.7 time more to travel through. Public transit is way slower than 1.7x.
I can't imagine that poor folks in expensive cars are doing any math
In the event of an accident, what happens to the 2007 Pontiac that doesn’t happen to a newer EV?
Hi! I'm one of these people. All three of those conditions are true for me, and yet I don't own an EV. Why? Because it seems like the technology is going to be much much better and cheaper in 5 years or less, and I'd hate to drop a big ball of cash on a new EV today when I can probably get either a better new one or a cheaper used one in just a couple of years.
Pilot Varsity disposable fountain pens are ridiculously good for their price, and if you leave one out on your desk and someone comes along and damages the nib trying to write with it, you just throw the whole thing away. On top of that I haven't had one leak and they very rarely dry out or get clogged.
Musk doesn't innovate per-se, he just dusts off old DARPA projects and convinced young engineers to work on them. Autonomous cars, reusable rockets, neuralink, Strategic Defense Initiative... Musks genius is making it seem like these are not long-studied military tech objectives but for humanity. The SDI stuff is very DoD centered-- Starlink as a business doesn't compute without military.

The original misfeature.
This headline is just wrong. Sales growth is down, but sales are growing.

That said, what bugs me about these articles is the parroting of stats about how the average driver drives 40 miles a day. But for most drivers, the "average" day is not actually a typical day, and doesn't tell you anything about the capabilities they actually require from their vehicle.

I average 25 miles of driving a day, but most days I do no driving. And then there are the handful of days a year when I do 600 miles in a single day. There are long stretches of the drives I make that have few if any charging stations. I assume the more populated stretches have more, but I don't see them when I'm stopping for gas or restroom breaks. And while I could probably prepare for a 600 mile EV trip on a route I take regularly, if I were driving to different places all the time, I would be far too anxious to rely on my ability to find working, high-quality chargers at the right intervals.
There's also a fifth bucket for really large companies and really high end engineers:

Aha yeah, true, in the United States employers don't have much rights and can be quite easily fired for any reason. In Europe you usually need to have a valid reason to fire someone. Valid reasons can include refusal to perform work, culpable conduct, excessive sickness absence, reorganization, or company closure.
I use a multipen, a pen with multiple ink cartridges that can switch on the fly. Just like the one you had as a kid! I use four colors plus black for my day-to-day engineering journal. I use the colors for semantic highlighting. By default, I write in black. People, teams, and customers are in blue. I also annotate some things with blue arrows and words. Dates and very important notes are in red. Projects and tickets are in green. Meetings are in purple (with blue attendees).

I also do some clever things like separating days with black lines and a little box for the date, but the first day of the week is red so I can easily see week boundaries. As a whole, it makes scanning for what I'm looking for very easy. Since I usually know at least what meeting a decision was made in. Or if I'm looking for my notes about a teammate, that's another color. I've been doing this for four years and have really refined my process.

My pen of choice is a Coleto 5-color multipen. They are a pretty cheap plastic and I'm not in love with it. It's just the best I've used with five colors. For ink cartridges I use Pilot Hi-Tec-C, 0.4 mm. I highly recommend it, but start with a day book to see if it's useful to you first.
The irony of this is that it only affects the Arabic speaking population, which for the most part already supports the Palestinian side.
Would be amazing if we can make that happen (re the Citizen Kane reference)!
My guess: While the megafauna was around to provide low-hanging calories, civilization didn't arise because people felt no need for something resembling it. Once humans finished extinguishing most megafauna around 10 kyr ago[1], the small prey left couldn't providing enough calories for everybody, so people were forced into laborious agriculture to make ends meet, kickstarting civilization.

I cannot endorse Muji enough. They are also easy to obtain in the US. I save my empty pens so I can refill them. I just got a full color set to use as well.

The ink flow levels are always balanced, never too much or too little. It's hard to explain but it also has a good "feel" when writing that I do not find in many other pens.
You're right, and I wish we had terms to differentiate them. It's ridiculous that "chronic fatigue and brain fog for the rest of your life" and "flu-like symptoms for 3 weeks and then back to normal" are both discussed under the term "long covid".
Ask HN: What companies do you believe will have a strong 2024 and why?

I don't think so. Apple likes to collect data as much as anyone else, they're just better at hiding it with euphanisms.

To wit: iOS requires precise location be enabled just to show weather on the home screen; I can't set a static location and just get the weather report for that place.

The whole thing just reeks of willful surveillance anti-patterns.

Computer science is not a science; it's a form of math (which is not science).
I also have a TamperMonkey script installed to prevent web sites from hooking the arrow keys to do smooth scrolling (or worse: navigate to another page).

I really wanted to get into fountain pens a while ago. I bought several different ones over the years and ultimately had roughly the same experience. In the end I didn't find them great for me, being a lefty in a right-to-left writing world. The main benefits of the fountain pen feel is when you're able to just lightly drag the pen across the paper, its nearly effortless to put down a good line. However, being a lefty, I'm often pushing the pen forward instead of dragging it across.

I just kind of feel like writing as a lefty in a right-to-left world is just pain.

Any other lefties have similar experiences?
As someone without long COVID (or Covid ever). Your description of long COVID o only a little bit worse than a decent day for me. (Multiple chronic conditions, including multiple respitory). If I had chronic fatigue on top of what I already have, I’d be hardly capable of getting out of bed to go the bathroom. Working would be absolutely out of the question.
The ocean is so vast, few, if any, countries are able to monitor, let alone defend, their share of it at all times.
> I would guess most single family home owners have two or more cars.

I was curious so looked this up. Not sure how good these stats are, but here's what I found at https://www.thezebra.com/resources/research/car-ownership-st...

The average US household owns 2.28 vehicles. 35% of US households own three or more cars. I found that interesting because almost no household that I personally know owns more than one vehicle (regardless of income level), so there may be large geographical variances here.

Also interesting is that the total number of registered vehicles in the US declined by over 25 million between 2012 and 2019. There is hope!
Bittorrent over Tor is generally discouraged. It's _very_ easy to accidentally de-anonimize yourself, and while the Tor network benefits from people casually browsing the Web to provide anonimity for others, large amounts of Bittorrent traffic would strain the network. Especially with a >400 TiB and quickly growing collection

I think that’s pretty obvious though. At least in my circles, the main talking point is the fact that this war goes back literally to the dawn of human civilization in this area. People who think this sparked in the last 100 years aren’t paying attention.

With a gas car, you can take off on foot and walk to a gas station or call literally anyone to give you a bit of gas. EVs on the other hand have to be towed if they run out. Also, it is far easier to predict how far you can get on a tank of gas, and they are like a mile apart or less in any slightly populated place.
Losers. They will one day be adults and missed out on valuable learning and experience, not to mention being broke. This is not a good way to go through life. They should be hustling while they are young, full of energy and not yet encumbered by family life.

2/3 of Americans live in a home they or their immediate family own. They’re like 2% of car sales. The market is far from saturated.

The reality is that range just isn’t there for most people, and the extra cost of an EV is far more than fuel savings.

It’s going to take a better battery chemistry. That’s it.
No operational ones for customers. Those are scheduled to launch this year
Fwiw, Power over Ethernet or PoE has been a widely used IEEE standard since 2003. This is not specific to Cisco, or Meraki. It's common for VoIP phones, cameras, routers, intercoms, etc.

It also seems like you would expect the practical considerations from environment and material availability to result in different looking buildings. For example pitched roofs and large windows in climates with lots of snow, or windcatchers, flat roofs, white paint and small windows in warmer places.
I find this a bit bizarre. I've only taken a few toasters apart in the 90s, but they were examples of fairly complex control systems then. They didn't use timers or thermometers directly, but instead modeled the "toast" as a physical thermal element that was heated by the coil current, isolated on long wires, and cooled by ambient temperature (like little analog computer). You'll notice that the second time you toast is faster than the first, because the toaster/elements are already hot. Those thermo-mechanical elements were cheaper and more reliable than some digital IC in the 90s.

Likely current super modern $200 toasters use timers and thermometers along with numerical models (some use cameras) to brown your toast, but I don't think they're dumb. The power put into the element (the voltage, current, resistance) can be measured at 2 points, along with air temperature in the toaster or even radiant heat sensors for the toast surface and can all be combined into a Kalman or StateSpace estimator for the toast surface temp and radiant power cooking it.

I don't know that the toast is that much better (for the price) now and they just have different failure modes. I love the old toaster technology (especially the auto rising toast!), but they're far from perfect and were quite expensive in their own time. Be really careful when cleaning them!

p.s. the video is the only interesting part of the article.
So far as I can tell, two prototypes, and they're waiting on licensing for a few hundred more to become operational.

Whenever I write a comment stating you don’t need „magit“ I receive such a comment like yours. ;)

I am personally using „magit“ but I just wanted to stress that newbies might want to postpone installing it until they are more comfortable with vanilla Emacs.
There was a time they were suggesting structured cabling for new buildings, that ran power fiber and coax through the same ~1 inch cable. Because you didn’t know what you’d want and where you’d want it.
Belgian houses are exceptionally ugly. Very badly proportioned. Belgium has the most beautiful cities in the world, but what that really means is that all the attractive areas predate the 30s. Once outside, it's a shockingly ugly country. Architects cannot seem to balance anything, weirdly positioned windows everywhere (e.g. https://www.a2o-architecten.be/work/vaartkom, this is so typical of all the dreck I saw going up there). Sad to see you use Leuven as an example. When I lived there some decade ago, all new buildings going up were unfathomably ugly. The old core was perfection though.

Kudos to Belgium to preserving its heritage so well, big thumbs down to being a black hole for architecture today.
> My point is that it’s not like they said “let’s get Dr. Gay.”

Actually, that's exactly what they did. They were very open about it. Christopher Ruffo was very open about it. They wanted to get her fired for her Israel content, so they went hunting to find an excuse.
Everything requires a political stance now.
It would only take a few examples to change behavior.
> Hmm, not sure. The first thing I do in Firefox is disable smooth scroll.

On Edge I do the same with `edge://flags/#smooth-scrolling`, but I've found there're 2 separate usecases, one where smooth scrolling helps, and one where it doesn't, and a separate usecase where the scrollbar stands in the way:

- when scrolling with page up/page down, whether on Edge or on a terminal scrollbuffer, the tactile feedback of which key is pressed, and how often, is enough to keep track of the position. the scrollbar provide extra hints

- when scrolling with the mouse, the smooth scrolling provides all the information I need. the scrollbar only helps me know if I'm close to the bottom of the page

- when not scrolling but reading, the scrollbar is redundant and distracting. I like the new UI hiding the scrollbar, because I can better concentrate on the text.

Another flag I love in edge is `edge://flags#enable-force-dark` with `selective image inversion based on transparency and number of colors`: it gives perfect dark mode on every website, with no plugin needed!

Yeah, I would hard disagree. It's a disservice to students to teach this course as is.

Students need to get up to date on a topic so that they can do research if they want. Teaching a course that's 10-20 years out of date is a serious problem. They won't know what questions people ask now, they won't know any of the current players, etc.

This isn't a generic ToC course. This is supposed to be a survey of research. Nowhere does it make it clear that this is vastly outdated research.
TL;DR:

The Horizon system was well known to be extremely buggy though.

The developer, who has not previously talked publicly about his experiences on the project, told Computer Weekly that in the months leading up to its launch, Horizon’s problems were well known inside Fujitsu.

“Everybody in the building by the time I got there knew it was a bag of s*t”, he said. “It had gone through the test labs God knows how many times, and the testers were raising bugs by the thousand.”

Most people in the world don't have garages. Even if they have one on the house they live in, there may be more cars in the family than can fit in the garage.
What's that? That I can only buy old vehicles? I already know that, it's been true for a while now.
I mean it could, but it would be pretty expensive. We know generally where ships go to fish. You watch those areas and get an idea of the various ships, you stage your ships nearby and wait. If you're really keen on being targeted you could follow ships back to port and over time have assets there wait to ID the individuals on the ship.

The problem is this would cost millions of dollars and take weeks or months unless you got very lucky. The Navy could do it in their sleep but why would they? Nobody who cares enough about this problem has the means to execute it, and nobody with the means cares.
That sounds like a benchmarking flaw.

But then, writing good benchmarks is an art in itself.

GNU grep is 100k lines of code (including header files and tests). That's probably just as complex as any random Android application. Yet I don't expect it to need a huge rework after 8 years. In fact, if it changed interface in any meaningful way, it would immediately be forked by impatient users who have jobs to do. I cannot wait until the mobile ecosystem is anywhere near that useful.
I had thought there were brands which did not do this.

Turns out Kia, Subaru, Ford, GM all do this already (those are the ones I could quickly find).
