We can measure objectively the damage ethanol does to the tissues in the body, both short and long term, and the impairment it causes to judgement. We have studied its use both intermittently and chronic, and its effects are well-understood.

Can we say the same about bad images on a screen?

All of this “if you look at enough of them you become broken” seems like folk “wisdom” to me. I don’t want to be the guy holding up the “[citation needed]” sign, but I am truly skeptical of this claim.

Just because it’s gross and unpleasant to look at doesn’t mean that lots of exposure causes permanent damage.
I never understood why they keep manufacturing these platform locked monstrosities. I bet no Linux distro will properly support it.
Once I made a mistake and bought MS Surface Book, which now is a magnesium brick that doesn't last a few hours without a power socket. I'd rather bought an intel based desktop for that money, at least it would age better.

I find it strange to seriously consider any intel laptop these days for portable work.

You cannot import specific inherent methods. What you can do though is use the extension trait concept and import those traits.

If you import both traits you get an ambiguous function error and are asked to resolve which trait you want `<Goose as noises::Trait>::fudge(...)`.

Pretty low bar to clear, honestly.

Either way this is cool to see. Maybe we'll see more energy behind Calibre as a result.
Currently running a 2005 Toyota. No problem at all regarding spare parts so far.

D is general purpose programming language similar to Python but most would agree that in computing sense it is more general than Python since the latter is rather limited in hardcore HPC domain (bit twiddling, etc).

The fact that most of today's programmer or in the future will be just fine and better off with GC based languages compiled or interpreted, as modern drivers are better off with auto transmission than the manual. Heck, even F1 drivers now compete in auto transmission (DCT).

The fact that D is embracing GC as a default is not a disadvantage but it is advantage for majority of the programmers [1]. Imagine a world in the near future where D is as popular as Python due to its intuitive syntax thus more library will be written for D and thus the library eco-system is flourishing regardless you are using enabled the GC or not with D [2]. Imagine a world where you don't need to write in Python and interface in a wrapper for library in foreign language that only selected few can understand because most of original library authors have passed away since the core are using language originated from the 50s and the library was developed in the 70s [3]. Imagine a world where only programming language with GC can be JIT to wasm [4].

Implementing proposed approach is not easy without hurting maintenance, scalability and readability. At Google, there is a dedicated framework for writing distributed systems that implements proposals from the document.
The issue I've always felt about this is this requirement of everyone having to do direct action that ultimately is just performative meant to virtue signal for a cause.

Which is why these people who support it conveniently will mostly only talk about it from a systemic perspective, as to ensure that they do not have to put money where their mouth is.

Since just advocating for higher taxes (that goes to struggling single parents programs for instance) or having university donate say 20 million dollars a year instead of spending it on administration would directly encourage a better society.

Upstream mattered a lot for responsiveness. This was really before the idea of ACK Prioritization [1] TCP connections, so the standard small upstream of 56K had an impact that didn't quite get felt as much as it did on symmetric ISDN.

Most things silently incorporate ACK prioritization now, which makes the typical asymmetric internet connection like a cable modem work better. But before then, it was a problem... And those of us who hand-solved it on DIY firewalls really reaped the rewards.

I was intending to joke about how the auto industry caters to image and fashion not utility and many cars are encrusted with things people don’t need… whether it’s being excessively big and jacked up or a bunch of bloatware on an infotainment system.

What you say is somewhat true but we really do have a ridiculous oversized car issue in the US. The irony is that many of the people who really could use these trucks can’t afford them. They are high priced status symbols.

What I was ultimately getting at was that the car industry does not want to sell practical cars. The margin on those is lower. They want to sell puffed up chonkmobiles or overly complex bloatware machines. Then they want to double dip with surveillance.

Enshittification for cars.
Yes, but some more than others. A very zeitgeist example: warmer atmosphere stores more moisture and/or energy, thus causing more abrupt and violent changes of weather patterns - see the polar vortex breaking up and brining -40 degrees temperatures to unusual places in North America. This is something you can’t really negotiate about, it’s just applied thermodynamics.
Many companies just factor fines and legal costs into the bottom line.

HelloFresh might well have known they are overdoing it but just put some money aside to pay the fine - when it then comes.
I really like the idea of the open source car but I think it might be too soon. Once battery cost and energy density reaches the asymptotic phase, perhaps we will see CARV.

Seatbelts and catalytic converters aren't the reasons cars are shit these days. Furthermore, the government isn't the reason that cars have replaced all their tactile controls with shite touchscreens, advertising telemetry, and subscription seatwarmers; private industry did that. Get rid of the government regulations? Great, you have completely failed to address the private industry incentives that brought us here, so now you have gone from a shitty unrepairable touchscreen car with seatbelts to a shitty unrepairable touchscreen car with no seatbelts, thus missing the point entirely.
Sorry about that. It looks like the MySQL database did not like the sudden influx of traffic. It's back up!
VW’s e-Up comes very close to that modern but minimal EV I wish someone would keep making. No touchscreen, just a smartphone mount. Analog HVAC controls. Even the battery-remaining gauge is an analog needle (though the usability of that detail is debatable!).
Well, I don't know. Silently pairing a BT keyboard with no notification to or interaction from the user seems a pretty big deal to me.

I fail to see any negative aspects of having multiple compiler implementations around.

IMHO that's the main reason why C became so popular, compilers are free to explore into different directions, language extensions that have proven their worth will eventually be picked up by other implementations, and sometimes even make it into the standard without being butchered too much by the committee agreement process.
It seems like most are just broken out of the box. I have never encountered a Tesla on the road that did not blind me, regardless of whether it was behind or in front of me. Some manufacturers just get away with shitty light projection.

Absolutely. I did not bother so far, since I was mostly writing for myself. But I should have before posting here; I know what the hug of death means!
The UI does not conform to any UI guidelines known to me, certainly not the macOS ones. In fact, the macOS UI guidelines are violated in a lot of places (e.g. icons in menus). The icons themselves are unfamiliar and kinda random, also with distracting colors. There are way too many options directly available, making the UI complicated and intimidating. I'd like the UI to be much sleeker and opinionated towards the layperson. Like I said, Calibre is a very powerful tool, and I appreciate that. Its advanced features are very welcome, but they should be presented differently in the UI.
I haven't owned a car in the past decade, but the last car I did own was an Audi S5 and I thought it was pretty nearly perfect. Manual transmission, naturally aspirated V8, 4 wheel drive, but also all the electronic toys like lane sensors and physical buttons that were designed to give satisfying tactile feedback. Also just a beautiful car inside and out. I thought this was some kind of a high water mark for car design. You can't get a manual transmission anymore, they replaced the V8 with a V6 turbo, added weird lines all over the car that ruined the aesthetic. The new models are better on paper but feel twitchy and nervous to me. I haven't seen the latest ones, but I would not be surprised if they'd made everything touch-screen controlled as the trend in the industry has been.

But anyway, c'est la vie, it was the end of an era and life moves on. We'd be better off with fewer cars, and with people thinking of them more like washing machines and focusing their attention elsewhere.
Name and shame, please. I'm in the market for a dishwasher and would like to know what not to buy.
OpenShift Container Platform uses CRI-O as the container engine and runC or crun as the container runtime. Podman is only directly used for the openshift-installer, but as a container management tool uses the same underlying runtimes. This means they share the same long tenure in production when it comes to using runc. Is that what you meant?

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.14/nodes/con....

https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/#:~:text=Podman%20relies%20....

The answer is a little bit more nuanced, as the defaults differ. Podman uses crun by default:
https://podman.io/docs/installation#:~:text=crun%20%2F%20run.... For OpenShift the use of crun is available as a Technology Preview: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/whats-new-in-red-hat-openshif... since 4.12. The default for 4.14 is still runC.

Notwithstanding, Podman is gaining a lot of momentum, especially now with Podman Desktop. Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat on the Podman Machine and OpenShift Local/CRC teams to provide integration with Podman Desktop aiming at developer usecases

Agree. Kubectl's more prose like style seems harder to remember.
Speaking personally it doesn’t seem to be designed with the same principles/patterns of most software out there (regardless of platform or era), making its UI operate in ways that run counter to expectations. It’s an odd duck, which doesn’t make it bad but does greatly increase friction in usage.
Good catch. Even so, 14 MWH is only about $3,000 at Panama prices. That's nothing compared to the cost of transit.

Obviously there'd be extreme capital costs and engineering/environmental challenges, but far less than an equivalent train.

After all, the canal moves more tonnage daily than the proposed train could in a year.
Ah, I was not aware of extension traits. Thanks for pointing out.
You're not seeing the demand for a portable dual screen? At the very least I see a demand for business users.
I do not understand this. Just don't buy things you don't like? I'm happy with my current printer, and they've only improved in my experience (auto-discovered network printers are an order of magnitude better than the wires-and-drivers bullshit, and that's pretty much the only change I see over the past 20 years or so). My LG TV is fine. Can't really speak about cars (the '12 Toyota I own is not really representative), but the new ones I see are driveable, and I don't see a trend (outside of Chinese brands and EVs that think they're an iPad, which are separate topics).

I think you are incorrect on this, certainly for Audi but probably Toyota and Volvo as well.
Looks interesting but I was stuck in a queue for a few minutes. I made the mistake of clicking "undo" and it threw me back at the end of the queue
Yes, but I think it’s more than that - like during the egg shortage their prices didn’t budge, which I bet is because their contracts are both large and long-term. I suspect the large companies whose profit margins have skyrocketed are willing to let them have less inflated prices since they’re (probably correctly) assuming that most buyers are just going to go to the local supermarket.
I think it's usually because they don't get the talk title until later in the organisation (Keynotes are usually invited and don't send a proposal)
Continental pipelines exist but need a significant amount of power to operate the compressors along the path.

As for subsea pipelines: it's hard enough to lay these alongside the same continent, i.e. in geologically stable and relatively flat areas such as the North Sea or the Gulf of Mexico... but no one has even attempted to run anything larger than a fiber cable across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean.
This is a nasty comment, and lacks any references to those github PR discussions. It comes across very much as somebody who has no experience in managing even halfway large projects.

I've been writing a compiler and I put in a lot of work to keep things simple, manageable and comprehensible, and therefore most likely correct. If I hadn't, I'd be stuck in a swamp of bad code and spending more time fixing old problems than extending the language.I'd say are spent about 30% of the time re-factoring just for this.If I open source my work, I will reject code that is not up to my standards for the same reason that Walter does.
1. The article mentions the next version is supposed to deliver 1 W

2. You can put a few of those for more power. The fact of not needing to replace it like ever justify the extra space, I think (and can maybe be offset a little by not having to have a charger)?

I'm looking forward to a power bank made of these. This would be epic.
That's a fantastic way of describing it. I will be using that from now on.
SNAFU.

You’re happy with the SN part. I’m concerned about the AFU part.
Why seawater ? Just pump the released water back up. If the issue is contamination with brackish water from the lower part, I'm sure that could be handled by some clever valve management - eq. release water to a freshwater pond when lowering a ship, so you loose only the water in the lowered chamber & can pump the water in the pond back up. Given the ships going up might import some of the brackish water when rising up, I don't think contamination can be fully prevented anyway.

Sure, there will be power demand for all the pumping, but given how important this is I would think it would be economicaly sustainable- possibly with similar technology Japan uses for floodwater pumping in the GCANS project (gas turbine driven pumps).
Most readers only buy books from their device’s store, so they don’t need to worry about sideloading. And then once they’ve done so, they are hesitant to switch because it’s hard or impossible to extract yourself from Amazon or B&N or Apple’s ecosystem without losing content.

Ideally everybody would only buy DRM-free ePubs and audiobooks but realistically people don’t care. And I don’t see a repeat of Apple forcing DRM-free music happening here.
This is great, thank you! I really love Calibre, but like you, I find the UI difficult.

I will download and install today! Good luck!
Interesting. I can actually see it from the window of my flat. Mostly smoke at this point.
The new washer/dryer all in one is absolutely confusing to me.

So you can leave your clothes in one machine, and in two hours everything is washed and dried.

But now I have to wait two hours for each load of laundry, versus 45 minutes and swap between machines. They have effectively more than doubled the time laundry takes.

Who thought that was a good idea?
These days when I see the word "consumer" I go to a dark place very quickly. If you were to play a word association game with me and brought this one up, you'd probably find the resulting term would run aground of HN comment policies.

I stopped buying things for fun a long time ago. The act of shopping for most things has become a stressful experience for me. I can feel the contempt for my existence in the design of many products.
There’s a talk by Rob Pike where he mentions that it would have been difficult for code using map, filter, etc. to be as fast as the equivalent code using a for loop without a sufficiently smart compiler.

So I think the motivation was more implementation simplicity . But if they had tried to add zero cost iterators it probably would have leaked complexity into the language too.
I'm working on a 3d sonar to replace costly lidars.

Already have a state-of-the art prototype that has better performance than $3k lidars for under a hundred bucks.

Applications are robots that need to navigate autonomously in a non-cooperative environment (humanoid robots, delivery drones, etc). There's also a dozen other applications to use the sensor for (indoor millimeter-localization with beacons, insect detection and identification, passive localization of sound sources, etc).

I'd love to meet someone with a strong technical background but who could help me on all non-technical tasks (getting funding, finding an application to focus on, managing certifications, etc)

Agreeing with the article. Car software sucks, but hardware is great.
