Exactly... you can't compare the reliability of a street legal track ready race car with a cheap economy car. Compared to other exotic cars with similar performance, the longevity and reliability of Porsche is unequaled... and with proper maintenance they handle decades of hard driving.

Parking lots are a common place to store excess snow when it is plowed. Obviously from the parking lot itself, but also sometimes snow is hauled in dump trucks from other areas where there is no space to store the snow.

In snowy areas the piles can grow quite large and take up a sizable amount of parking lot space. These large piles then take considerably longer to melt away than snow in surrounding areas, sometimes lasting well into Spring.

> Why would it?

Because it would both enable and incentivize development patterns where people need cars less.

> Without alternatives to cars as a means to get people to where they need to go, people will still require cars.

Dense mixed-use development puts more of the places people need to go in places that don't require cars to get to them. (It also mass transit to other places more viable.)

Your focussed on alternatives ti cars to get to a fixed set of locations, but a big point of dense mixed-use development is to provide alternative locations.

> You can't solve the problem of people needing cars by not addressing the reasons people need cars

The reason people need cars is that the places they need to be a far away because of development patterns; one of the key features of development patterns that causes this is...the space use created by parking requirements.
Apple's monopoly is currently harming competition/consumers. Why should a potential monopoly that doesn't exist (yet) and doesn't hurt competition or consumers be a higher priority?

I don't understand how it doesn't scale; on a hit you just move a node to the front, which is just a few pointers to update (prev next, next prev, front prev, front, current prev, current next).

If you have multiple threads, then presumably you should think how to serialize access to your shared resource anyway.
RawJS library author here.

The main thing RawJS brings is ergonomics when creating element hierarchies of plain HTMLElement instances. I don't see JSX as something that does this very well. A lot of people don't like JSX, because its not JavaScript. There are other libraries that are better document.createElement() that work somewhat similar. RawJS isn't new in this regard, I just believe that it's better executed than the others.
I have read many comments on this thread pointing towards other calendar libraries. I appreciate projects like this because I believe it's healthy for our industry to rethink "solved" issues. You put a cool spin on this topic and I hope that it taught you lots while building it.

Go introduced generics as of recently therefore you won’t find many of the more sophisticated collection types like trees and sorted lists etc. However there is an effort to include the usual suspects in the standard lib.
I started going to school all by myself, on bike, starting age 6 and did so reliably.
It’s simple:

bedtime = school_start - time_to_get_ready - 9_hours
If you genuinely want to learn, I think the popular book "Why We Sleep" covers this (and various other topics) very well.

Short version: Young people sleep schedules naturally deviate and it is legitimately difficult for a large segment to "Just go to bed earlier".
There is a convenient sanity check these days: just look what is happening in Ukraine. One of the major lessons of the war has been that modern infrastructure is resilient.

If you let the free market decide the answer will be "a lot" and "everywhere there's business that want customers from outside walking distance" and "everywhere there's apartments and houses that don't have garages."

Parking minimums are one of those things that are a huge PITA when you hit edge cases but when you go to city council meetings residents and business owners ask for more and cheaper parking because it draws in business and keeps street parking available for residents.

You can't remove parking in isolation, I genuinely wish you could. You have to fix the reason people want it in the first place. And high density public transportation is unfortunately a double-edged sword because it means you need a government blessing to make an area a new hot spot and drives business and residential rents way up in the spots people can get to easily.
It's much much better now, especially if you are willing to adopt the experimental modules.
>His stance on compiler optimizations is another example: only add optimization passes if they improve the compiler's self-compilation time.

What an elegant metric! Condensing a multivariate optimisation between compiler execution speed and compiler codebase complexity into a single self-contained meta-metric is (aptly) pleasingly simple.

I'd be interested to know how the self-build times of other compilers have changed by release (obviously pretty safe to say, generally increasing).

This use case is already being solved in the boring way. T-Mobile and Google Fi offer free global data roaming. All other carriers have been pressured to lower roaming prices on their networks in recent years. There is more and more free wifi coverage available everywhere (and phones now have auto connect capability). People are switching away from SMS to other apps. This is really not a problem that needs an expensive satellite connection to solve anymore.
> natural sleep cycles make it difficult for post-puberty teenagers to fall asleep before 11 p.m

(We have one post-puberty teenager and two other kids) ... our experience is that this does depend on whether you let your kids keep their phones and tablets in their bedrooms.

As many adults will confirm, going to sleep sure is easier without distractions.
> such as genetic information, should not be allowed to support login with just a password. That seems reasonable to me

But that isn't obviously reasonable to me, that we need a law for that.

What if I don't think a bunch of estimates based on a bunch of my gene readings is all that valuable? Why not let me choose to use just a password?

But if I do think it's super valuable, then I can use 2FA. (And also obviously choose not to share any of my information with anyone else on the site.)

Why should it be the government's job to remove that choice from me?
If that's the case then you should know being fit isn't going to mean much if you run into an actual BMFer.

I grew up in Atlanta and I lived in Chicago for awhile. From my personal experience, and the stats back me up, Atlanta is worse for violent crimes. The worst thing that happened in Chicago was someone broke into my car when I wasn't home. In Atlanta I was stabbed when I wouldn't hand over my wallet.

Through sheer luck during my youth I didn't end up dead or in prison.
Yeah. Think about wooly mammoths - tiny/no external ears.
you're absolutely right, will get it on a next iteration. Just for now, know you can filter by your tech on the technologies list. Most people are looking for either remote or a specific location, and after choosing one of those honestly there are not that many posts left to sort through.
the article states the recommendation is for middle and high school students so maybe a little overlap. I assume most kids can be autonomous when they are in high school.
Yep that happens. When we see them, we move them later, unless the person has already posted a copy, in which case we mark the one in the 'losing' thread as a dupe.

> This map shows which parts of the U.S. ignore the science.

I'm starting to dislike the phrase "the science", since I usually hear it used as a conversational bludgeon. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended 8:30 AM as a minimum start time, that's not the same as "the science" definitely saying one thing or another. I don't have kids, and don't really care when schools start, so this is less a comment about that as it is about how annoying "the science" is as a phrase, how it's not a good description of how science works, and how it's usually misapplied to end conversations in favor of your prior opinion.
Yes! It's like I should not play the piano, because I could get better music on Spotify. If I play, I play for fun. Also, if I were to make a program language, it would probably be for fun, and to learn. That is a good thing! Having a hobby and learning at the same time is worth so much.
What country would allow a documented felon to live there?
Just because you're going to bed earlier doesn't mean you're going to sleep earlier.

When I was a teen, I didn't get tired until nearly midnight.

Even when I was getting up for school at 6 AM. My parents would send me to bed some time between 9 and 10, and I'd toss and turn wide awake for 2 hours. Even with sleep deprivation stacking up over the week as I was only getting 6 hours of sleep, I still couldn't get to sleep as I was simply not tired.
Life doesn't seem short. Heck, humans are some of the longest lived mammals in the world. I suspect people only say life is short because they are counting the days ahead of them and comparing it to the days behind them - not considering the total number of days. I bet very few 10-year-olds would say life is short, but maybe a lot of 60-year-olds would.
and on the other side of this, adding an hour or two will not solve the problem if kids then stay up an additional hour or two on their apps, which will certainly happen. People are being incredibly dishonest with themselves on this issue.
Rust has better diagnostics when everything does not go according to plan. Just like the automobile industry improved a lot the diagnostics for repairing cars the last decade, the same should happen in software.

Rust and Cpp both have the same characteristics when it comes to speed, they are both very fast, or executable size, they are both minimal size, or reasonable high level compared to say, C.

When it comes to program correctness and diagnostics, one is better than the other, and it is the one created the last 10 years. Linux kernel should definitely move past C, to Rust, Zig or something like that.

Thank you for the explanation.
It should be a pretty obvious that there is strong correlation between employee dissatisfaction and employee performance, so a lot of these situations can be pretty noisy he-said/she-said cases. A lot of people can be publicly critical of a CEO, and the subset of those who get fired for performance reasons can have reason to complain about it being retaliatory.

But let's be real here. This is Elon Musk. There's probably an obvious paper trail. And anyone who is actually being terminated for performance at a large company should be on a PIP (performance improvement plan) long before they are terminable, so it would be obvious to all involved that it was not retaliatory.

Of course that's not fine, and no I didn't see it. We don't come close to reading everything, and I often don't look at the threads in linear order.

If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, this by no means implies that the mods secretly agree with it. I understand the temptation everyone has to leap to that conclusion, but overwhelmingly the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Still, users here need to follow the rules regardless of what other users do, and that applies to you the same as to me and anyone else. Changing the focus to someone else's misbehavior doesn't help. Everyone always feels like the other person started it and/or did worse, so that's just a recipe for a downward spiral.

What we need you (i.e. everyone) to do instead is absorb HN's guidelines, take them to heart, and then make your substantive points within that intended spirit, whether other people are doing this or not. If you're willing to do that, you can continue to post here and make your points. But we need you to stop breaking the site guidelines, which you've unfortunately been continuing to do. (And yes, I know other users are breaking the site guidelines too. If I could change that, I would.)
I'd rather ask: who didn't? The only reason to not come to school on your own by that age is if the school is far away and hard to get to by public transport, which usually isn't the case.

It is a form of "corruption signalling", compared to "virtue signalling". By blatantly hiring a corrupt or incompetent CEO, the board members are advertising to the world (of finance) that they are corrupt and ready to play ball. This way they might be able to get some nice gigs for themselves.

I had to focus on jobs with small companies that did no checks. There were so many times I declined jobs when I saw the background check just to avoid the shame. It's a waiting game until it falls off the threshold of places caring.

Eventually I got a job as a federal contractor working with semi sensitive metadata. I didn't need a clearance but had to get a public trust.

Partly due to what it cost the US public. Free trade with smaller countries hurts less than one-sided free trade with a protectionist mercantilist country 4x your population. (one-sided due to required joint ventures, unilateral bans on US social media, currency manipulation, among others)

> and singlehandedly denied it UN representation for 20+ years.

To be pedantic, the US didn't deny China representation for 20+ years, just the CCP. The ROC was a founding member of the UN and permanent Security Council member. US just opposed the CCP replacing it until 1971. Given the instability of CCP regime during that time - famine,

Except the Communist bloc countries, USSR, Cuba, etc. Extending MFN to China while they were still Communist was unprecedented.

I really wished Backblaze B2 worked better to be a real alternative to S3. The pricing is a middle finger to AWS and other providers.

However, we were having 1 outage per month with B2, and in the middle of 2023 we decided to go back to AWS and only use S3 for replication.

We still monitor both services simultaneously (S3 and B2), and every other month we are still having an episode where the latency rises from 15ms to something like 25 seconds for each write/read operation.
