You don't need to 'run the heat pump'. It is running already, whenever required, even if you're not around.

And, because it is running, your batteries will not reach a temperature where they start degrading. And, yes, this means your driving range is reduced slightly, but because heat pumps are so efficient, and because the alternative is, as you so eloquently observe, "car is dead", it's... sort-of worth it?

And the wonderful thing is: this works in both extreme cold and extreme heat, because heat pumps are reversible! So, for a little bit of battery power/range reduction (let's call it 20%?), you keep your EV (and the planet!) alive a little while longer.

Now, I don't have any experience with 'the Yukon', but I can tell you from personal experience that: a Volkswagen Transporter, used for staff and goods movement in Greenland (so, short distances only: all serious travel is done by plane or boat), that in its fossil-powered incarnation would need to run 24/7 on diesel for a good 90 days a year, works perfectly fine year-round in its heat-pump-upgraded EV life.
So... a Prius!
So if I understand this correctly, I have _no_ license to use the software until late 2027? Including installation and contribution instructions in the README seems deceptive, since neither can be done legally.

This statement got me thinking. How do you mean? I wonder if you're thinking what I'm thinking.
If managers are hired only because they're experts at managing humans, then they're inadequate for the role of managing a dev team. These guys are not just managing people, they're managing processes that they have to know something about to manage effectively.

Same here. Reddit and Youtube for a shocking amount of time per day. I had to quit Reddit like I quit nicotine, it was genuinely difficult.

The good news is that it reduced my Youtube time as well because I didn't have anything to pair it with. I realized I would watch Youtube and if I was bored or uninterested I may pull out my phone and hop on Reddit. Get bored of Reddit? Find a video to throw on. It was good to put a wrench in this self-reinforcing feedback loop.
My understanding is that SuSE is the Fedora of SLES, and SLES is what Dell tries to put on some of its storage appliances. This is a kind of appliance that doesn't go to individual consumers though, so, you might have never encountered it.

This may also explain the biggest discrepancy from RHEL being in how SLES packages storage-related stuff (eg. SLES is pro-Btrfs, while RHEL is against, SLES is slow to upgrade mdcrypt, while RHEL isn't etc.)

But this is just a guess.
But I've had experience too. My career started in a national telecom where I was part of a skunkworks team to develop internal applications because the organization was fed up with the IT department delivering solutions that didn't fit their needs. We approached issues differently from the ground up. Software developers gathered requirements on their own by job shadowing employees, and then delivered MVPs within days, which were then constantly iterated to finally solve the real problems. The software developers had complete control over what was made and why with zero change management or approval processes. We also had complete control over what technologies we used to make our apps. We mostly used .NET, but we also did some Java Swing and Ruby on Rails, and of course everything also used Javascript.

Our relatively small skunkworks team developed apps that changed the end-to-end solution delivery processes for major business units, both consumer and business sectors, saved the company 8 digits in opex and capex each year, and won an international award for "Best Support Team" (the Stevies, sort of known as the Oscars of the business world). Our greatest feat that year that enabled us to win the award was keeping the company afloat during a four-month union labour dispute by improvising solutions that automated everything in sight. At the end of the labour dispute, the CEO send a company-wide email about how important we were, awarded us this made-up award "Holding the Fort". When the union came back to work, we trained them how to use the new tools, but we unfortunately were also enablers of heavy downsizing, which I always disliked. Some of these people were hardworking people who did nothing wrong and followed the rules. Many of them were elderly and had little chance to go back to school to get new skills (we're talking 50-year-old clerical workers, etc). It drastically changed how I thought about corporate software work. That being said, we were all young cowboys, and it was possibly the best team I've ever experienced in my life.

I experienced the absolute opposite in many ways when I worked overseas for IBM, managing projects that spanned the Asia Pacific. I was the go-to PM many of their mission-critical infrastructure projects, including helping with datacenter migration from Japan to Australia, necessitated by the 2011 Fukushima earthquake and tsunami. I also experienced a middle ground as a venue technology manager for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Lots of pressure and set processes, but a lot of extremely competent people too.

Look, I'm not doubting your experience, but I've had mine too, which shaped my views, just as I'm sure that your experiences have shaped yours. We can agree to disagree, nothing wrong with that.

I think we should examine why this doesn't happen with structural engineering firms.

For the third time on this thread I'm going to say it is because you have to have proper qualifications to do that for a living.
This is such a core idea that as you find it really surprising how much it gets overlooked.

IMO, another important aspect of rewrite is that it's usually pretty easy to get 70% of the functionality for 40 % of the work. But as one approaches 100% feature parity , plus handling all the corner cases, the transition from prototype to production ready things equalize pretty fast.

Not to mentioned the unknown unknown that the new language might also bring.
There are lots of people you can hire to do those things. Like me.

Also, there are services like protocase for the enclosures. They specialize in making semi custom and custom enclosures, they even have design templates that you can download, modify, and then order.

When I lost my job, I took some time for myself then immediately put up a landing page for a new idea. Then iterated on said landing page until it was a full marketing website for the idea. Everything else can be hidden behind a robots.txt or require signup for demo etc. having a marketing page that evolved over time allows recruiters to pop the website into archive.org and see your company evolving. Just saying you had a business is no longer sufficient.

I like to also make merch and take video interviews while wearing say a branded shirt to show I was serious (I was not, it cost $20). I’m also not afraid to offer a screen share and walk through infrastructure diagrams or other intriguing IP to show something I have been working on instead of publishing everything to GitHub (unless it’s an OSS project)

Mind you this has backfired on me. I took an interview with a series A startup and the ceo flat out rejected me upon hearing my startup. He wished me best luck but stated he needed someone who was 100% invested in his startup and not someone thinking about their side hustle. Couldn’t fault him on that and instead flipped the interview into a Q&A with a billionaire. YMMV
> The only times I've seen IPFS being brought up in the interned discussions was by people who claimed that their token startup

Sounds like those people either don't understand what they're saying, or they're mindlessly shilling for Filecoin. Both are obviously shitty, but I don't think it's fair to point the team behind IPFS in a bad light because of what others say about it.

> I don't quite understand how come they claim IPFS is both a protocol AND a network of nodes AND not a storage

IPFS is a protocol, IPFS is also the name of the network. IPFS doesn't automatically distribute data, hence it's not "storage", but a protocol for doing storage.

In the analogy to TCP, TCP/http are the most common protocols, and the most common network is what we call "Internet". Initially, there was many competing networks, until eventually The Internet overtook all the other networks and essentially "won".

(edit: again, gross over-simplification about the history the internet and more, hopefully won't be too misleading. Better overview can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet)

In the US, professional engineering licenses tend to be required when you're signing off on things for regulators. Which is common in Civil Engineering and Architects; it's not actually that common with Mechanical Engineers and isn't even available any longer for Software.

But you're right, it generally requires you have a 4-year degree and have worked under a licensed engineer for some number of years.

Because anyone who is incapable of creating plausible lie about their employment is too naive to survive in corporate America.

The best people take career breaks as a flex. They don't need recruiters, they have the executive suites personal number.

The competent know how to mock employment without being employed. Board member, consultant, contractor, infinite unpaid-leave.....there are many such instruments.

The desperate are too desperate to take a break. That leaves the incompetent, the red flags and those of us with truth-itis.

To answer your question: Yes, Truth-itis is worst affliction a mere mortal can have. It doesn't matter that you aren't lying. Because you are anonymous (not famous), your word, along with all others will be put into the 'liar until proven otherwise' category. Get wise to it.

This really isn't talked about enough. Many of us are more principled than our capabilities will allow. Leads to horrible disillusionment later.
1% of 1% of their monthly users taking the worst interpretation and running with it is hundreds of thousands of people. I think it just particularly happens to be the doubters are comprised primarily of us tech focused population so we see it strongly. How much of a problem it is I'm not as sure. Does the average consumer (not the people on HN or the ones we hang out with) actually have a particularly weaker view of Google than they did e.g. 10-15 years ago or is it just us techies who used to consider them the greatest thing since sliced bread and now often see them as an enemy? One is disappointing for us, the other is a long term problem for Google.

Aesthetic is very subjective, people probably purchase the Wolf toaster because the red knobs match their Wolf stove. That said it is very modern and if you also made an art deco stove to match the toaster you’re imagining you may have found a new market.

> I just learned about Dualit because of this thread, they make something very similar to the vision I have in my head, except it’s made in the UK instead of the US.

Dualit is a great brand with a great product.

> I was picturing basically recreating something like the Sunbeam T-20.

To be fair the Dualit reminds me of a more modern Sunbeam.

Really if you have the time and the resources to manufacture a toaster, do it, expect a failure, and if it’s successful great, at the very least you’ll have learned something new.
That’s the crux of the scandal. The Post Office had experts claim under oath that ‘horizon is faultless and fit for purpose’. Mounting evidence shows that these experts were evidently aware that they were lying and so the scandal is taking on a new turn. Police are investigating the perjury that might have contributed to the prosecution’s by the PO. I want to see key people at the PO sent the jail in the same manner any one else who perjured themselves would be. It appears that some power politics went on in the background that either covered up the scandal, or could have ended it early, but turned a blind eye.
> They're just not worth the cost in infrastructure and lack of efficiency compared to BEVs.

Don't BEVs weigh more than hydrogen cars, given the same model and range? That would give at least some incentive to use hydrogen over BEV, as it decreases road wear, which reduces the costs associated with the operation of that car.

Additionally, hydrogen cars could be considered safer once they've gotten into an accident, as risk of battery thermal runaway wouldn't usually be an issue for extended periods of time in hydrogen cars, whereas several car carrier ships have been lost due (in part or in full) to battery fires.
It looks like a metric of the kind of lines of code.

Hugely useful for measuring a lot of things. But obviously bad for optimizing even if it's not a formal target.
Yeah, i was surprise to read that. For me that a way bigger deal than the language used...
Wikipedia cites a TRAC article:

"At any time, it should be possible to display program or procedural information in the same form as the TRAC processor will act upon it during its execution. It is desirable that the internal character code representation be identical to, or very similar to, the external code representation. In the present TRAC implementation, the internal character representation is based upon ASCII. Because TRAC procedures and text have the same representation inside and outside the processor, the term homoiconic is applicable, from homo meaning the same, and icon meaning representation."

> "it should be possible to display program or procedural information in the same form as the TRAC processor will act upon it during its execution"

This means that interpreted Lisp source is "homoiconic". Compiled Lisp code with stored source code would not be "homoiconic".
x86 has this problem too. Base x86 doesn't even support floating point. (and x87 which was the og way is now basically deprecated).
Corollary: xterm-mouse-mode in emacs is an equivalent of sorts for the rest of the world, and it is excellent.
The too chatty protocol is bitswap. Because the merkle-tree is not coupled to the protocol, they developped their own custom protocol on top of UDP for communication.

The studies say with an EV you come to break-even after two years of usage. This is with today's technologies of course. So if you buy a EV now, only in two years you can claim you were greener than an ICE. But after that, it does its job. Now of course the right way would be to use public transport but I guess some people will care even less about such a strange idea. Yes I am aware in some countries or places PT is not there. But anything can be done if there's a will, so not having public transport in place X means only not enough people wanted to have public transport in place X.

So this is the new generation of Javascript self-hostable wikis inspired by Notion. I remember in the late 2000s, most were PHP-based, with Twiki being an exception: it was Perl-based and also had a powerful wiki/database combination [1]. But it was not intuitive to use. That's what Notion nailed a decade later.

Now All the new (OSS ?) Notion clones like Outline are still deficient in that second database aspect. I hope we are eventually getting there.

> it's a waste of resources for small simple businesses that may never go anywhere.

As per my original post. That statement is one made from the comfortable armchair of somebody who has not had to litigate off the back of a free/cheap ready-made contract.

What is a waste of resources is paying a lawyer to try to get you off the hook for something that could have reasonably been in the contract in the first place had you had it drafted for your specific business context rather than relying on some shit internet template.

> most lawyers are just using THEIR templates anyways and charging more.

This is bullshit and you know it.

Yes, lawyers use base templates, but that's because there are some clauses that will always need to be there no matter what. However the devil is in the details and the lawyers also sit down with you to understand your business context and those templates get edited, sometimes heavily edited depending on the business context.

The point is that you are paying the lawyer for their experience. They know what should be kept in the template. They know what should be removed from the template. They know what should be added to the template AND they know how to add stuff to the templates in a legally correct manner.

You claim to have spent time with lawyers drafting legal documents, ergo you should know that and not spread FUD.

> But that it took 20 fucking years

20 years and a high-profile TV serialisation heightening public perception of the problem a little too close to an election for comfort. The government is running around saying they care and how much of a tragedy they think it is not because they genuinely care but because the voting public currently care and there is a general election within the next 12 months.

One of the massively empathy lacking comments from a couple of weeks ago (prior to the proposed law change specifically to speed up exonerations for this scandal, announced last week) was that they couldn't just quash all the convictions without retrial because that might let some genuine cases of fraud through – as if letting one or two criminals off more lightly (they have had 20 year of whatever punishment was originally handed down and its side effects) is such a problem compared to continuing to punish hundreds of innocents. Let them all off, then retry those few if you find new compelling evidence. But before doing that: get the people who tried to cover it all up, who bullied many into silence despite knowing (at least some of) the truth, and those who just stood by and let it all keep happening, etc., both in the post office and the government, into court first – what they have done is far more reprehensible than what those post workers were (wrongly) accused of. Handing back one CBE just doesn't cut it.
So, you're definitely a better programmer than me. That said, there are more programmers at my level and below than at yours. I would not advise anyone to run a Linux scheduler I wrote and tested in C. However, if I wrote and tested one in Rust, I might not feel bad letting people use it.

All this news tells us is that a Rust implementation can compare to a C implementation in this field. As you say, schedulers are all about tradeoffs in the end anyway. This news unlocks us having more options, both C and Rust schedulers, meaning a better experience for the Linux community across a variety of workloads. Thus, I don't see any reason to be defensive about Rust performance being found to be comparable to C here.
