There is a big concern where I live about resale costs. I'm in a rural area so people make a lot of miles on their vehicle. The batteries are only good for so many miles, so what happens to my trade-in value for a high mileage vehicle where the range has been significantly impacted? Or if I just decide to keep the car for a long time? Battery replacement costs are huge. Conventional ICE vehicles don't have this step-function maintenance cost.
I would not put too much stock into James Hoffman's confident assertions. He claims to be able to taste difference between different coffee grinders - but doesn't do it in a blind test.
Recently I’ve been thinking about how municipal air quality would be improved if stoves, furnaces, ICE and other adiabatic processes used stored sources of oxygen instead of the nitrogen rich atmosphere. Essentially turn everything into a rocket.

Of course there are some other tradeoffs about stored vs atmospheric oxygen.

It's normal for there to be different market segments for different people with different needs and priorities. This "one size fits all" approach is beyond ridiculous.
"expected phase transition" seems a loaded phrasing, and implies a deterministic evolution, which I really don't think we should assume.
This sounds like a great teacher. The fact that you got this gem to think about years (decades?) later tells so much about his craft.
I agree with others that this is pretty personal to your own values.

For me: it was definitely worth it, and if you buy a decent quality frame/desktop it'll be durable and a pretty minimal premium over time. I usually switch sitting standing 1-10 times/day depending on how restless I'm feeling.

That said:

- it's hard to know how much you'll like standing (or switching) until you try it

- it is pretty hard to vet quality unless you find a Costco/Ikea type vendor that has one in person. I personally have bought two Uplift models (me, spouse) and have been happy with how they've held up (7+ and 3+ years, respectively).
I don't think so. In cities quality of air will increase dramatically once majority of ICEs is migrated to EVs. Obviously it will be even better if many private vehicles are replaced by public transportation. But one is not excluding the other.
Thanks for the link! I think I had in mind another one, where the UB fuckery happened at a lower level (I think you ended up with a semicolon/brace effectively "disappearing"?). But that's a good example too.
I didn't know there was a class action! I have the same or similar model as you. When fixing this I managed to get the Styrofoam out in two pieces and put it back well enough to cover it up again.

For example with vim (debian) defaults, if you happen to have a 2-space indented Python (the first two spaces are for HN formatting, the first if should start at zero indent):

if True:
# Two space indent

And continue to add another if block in that, the autoindent will give you four spaces:

if True:
# Two space indent
if True:
# Four space autoindent

And if you make a new line after the last row there and hit a backspace, it'll erase one space instead of four, giving an indentation of 3 (+2) spaces. And if you start a new line after that, you'll get an indentation of 8 spaces in total. Ending up with:

if True:
# Two space indent
if True:
# Four space autoindent
# Hitting backspace gives this
# Hitting a tab gives this

This is just a one case, but things like this tend to happen quite often when editing code. Even if it's been originally PEP-8 indented. Usually it's not what the Tab does, but what the Backspace or Autoindent does. I'm not exactly sure what exact Tab/Backspace/Autoindent rules underlie the behavior, but I can imagine there having to be quite a bit of hackery to support soft-tabs.

For me this kind of Tab/Autoindent/Backspace confusion is frequent enough that I'd be very surprised if others don't find themselves having to manually fix the number of spaces every now and then. And when watching over the shoulder I see others too occasionally having to micromanage space-indents (or accidentally ending up with three space indented blocks etc), also with other editors than vim.
If only we had yet another system to solve this problem. Oh look, the author has one.

Finally some info on MIPI DSI! I was quite surprised when I last researched it and found very little.
That looks like potentially a lot of people coming into and out of one city block, like a 10X spike in density relative to everything else. There's public transit in OKC, https://www.embarkok.com/ and https://www.odot.org/transit/s5307/okc.htm, so maybe parking is not an issue, but the "flow" perspective will be interesting....
One thing to keep in mind is the geographic distribution of these things. They're mostly found in the province of Gallia and Britain, and not in other regions. There'd be a lot of metalworkers in Rome and the surrounding cities in central and south Italy, but no artifacts like this have been found, and they've found > 100 of them now so the distribution is probably significant.

Or maybe the "Talking Head" from the book Neuromancer: https://williamgibson.fandom.com/wiki/Talking_head

"On the exterior it is an antique-looking bust, cloisonne over platinum, studded with seedpearls and lapis. In the interior it contains a beautiful arrangement of gears and miniature organ pipes that can produce voice, instead of ubiquitous synth-voice chips, the equivalent of a baroque clockwork automaton. Jacked into a computer, it can narrate in a melodious, inhuman voice."

I do wonder how this game became quite so successful - it seems to be an indie overnight success despite incredible cheapness and a certain amount of ripoff?
Yes. Being able to stand at least part of the day is great. Some people mention wobble - I for one don't like typing while standing so I stand for meetings and sit for keyboard time.

One additional benefit is that you can adjust the height while sitting to really get the right ergonomics. I am fairly tall and most desks jam up my shoulders. Being able to match desk and chair height is key.
I think the distinction is that they think it's a Pokemon clone, not that they think it's a Pokemon.
I love mine. Don’t use it to stand all that much (though I will crank it up so I can pace around and follow long conference calls), but being able to adjust my seated height is massive. I’ve never been able to get fully comfortable at a standard height desk, you can permanently adjust the height of a fixed desk which helps a lot, but being able to dial it in while seated is really convenient and being able to notch it up or down by half an inch to fit that days posture is amazing for me
And if we're building off a bad initial premise it weakens the whole argument. "AI could be evolving just like us!" doesn't make sense when we don't know how we evolved.
When I moved to Canada, on a work visa that is not guaranteed to be permanent, and with a job already lined up, they still had me do an extensive medical exam beforehand to make sure I won't be a burden on the free healthcare. Productive member of society, not healthy enough? GTFO. Healthy enough? You're welcome, and the work visa rules, for example, are much more friendly than the US ones.

That attitude (not this particular law, in general) is why the only far-right person I talked to in BC (accidentally in a bar) told me that "Pakistanis are still better than Quebecois" :)

I think the immigration debate in the west has the biggest amount of stupid, averaged between two sides... it's possible to have a massive yet reasonable immigration system that is productive and does not alienate the local. Most of the west has two sides passionately arguing if throwing baby out with the bathwater is best done onto tile, or cement... Before complaining about other side's stupid, look at your own.

"unnatural" or "artificial" have a very clear meaning: made by the intervention of humans in ways outside our base anatomical functions (so excluding babys or spilled blood). This intervention can be mechanical (Stonehenge), or biological (breeding animals to become more useful to humans), or chemical (synthesizing oil from plastic), or a complex combination of all of them (whisky); it is also transitive: anything created by an artificial object is also artificial.

The fact that a naturally occurring thing (human beings) can create artificial things is not surprising under this definition.

The definition can also be theoretically extended to other human-like agents, like hypothetical aliens. It hasn't been practically very necessary so far.

Edit: I should note that this is the sense of "artificial" or "unnatural" that is used in the context of the article. There is a secondary meaning, used in phrases such as "artificial sweetner" vs "natural pesticide" that I don't think stands up too well to serious scrutiny.

> After ten years of daily use a lithium battery will have lost 50% of its capacity

No it won't. If your degradation is that bad, you would have been able to replace the battery before the warranty was up. Most manufacturers are similar, but Tesla has a 70%/7 year battery warranty. Any battery that will hit 50% in 10 years would hit 70% in 7 years and you would have had it replaced.

And obviously Tesla sets the warranty at a level where it doesn't expect to replace many batteries.
When the company is asking for open source contributions to an open source code base, as it is in this particular case, that second clause is clearly a deal breaker.
That is not completely true. The problem is that stone is what survived the centuries while the wood that was used to make the rooms more comely did not hence our modern picture of cold and windy castles.

They were not as luxurious as our modern living but people still did their best to make their living spaces comfortable. They didn't just sit in windy castles freezing their butts off every day. Most of the huge stone rooms we see now were actually separated into smaller wooden chambers that were much easier to heat.
Thanks, knowing it is about a 3 year old labour dispute really makes it much less interesting because they don't tend to stay substantially unchanged for that long.

It depends. I have a couple but I hardly ever actually adjust the height. Occasionally, it is practically useful, but after all is said and done, if I want to stand up I'd rather get up, walk around and take a break.

Dealing with cable management definitely requires a bit more effort. Your best bet is to try to keep all of the cables you can tethered to the desk. To that end, I recommend just mounting a nice large powerstrip to the bottom of the desk and drilling a couple of holes for cable routing. If you get it decently even and put some grommets in the holes it should wind up looking pretty good, and you'll just wind up with a couple of cables to deal with mostly depending on what kind of setup you have.

It's not a huge investment so it might be worth it, though realistically I think I will wind up ditching a standing desk in favor of integrating large countertops on my walls.

It is kind of useful for adjusting the height for best comfort, but honestly I think any investment in that would probably be better placed into an actually good ergonomic chair.
Yes, but they need to be good quality and quite heavy, so they don't wiggle. Being able to save presets (sitting, standing) is also an important feature for me, otherwise they are always a bit off.
Having been to many (lived in one) Midwest cities - one block is hardly winning the battle or the war. It’s still 99% parking lots.
I think the TCO would be impacted if enough people get electric in a city to require electric grid upgrades. That money will come from increased electric rates, higher rents, or in taxes of some form. Of course it's nearly impossible to predict ahead of time but it's a looming cost.

Imagine a 100 car parking lot for an apartment building, if everyone drives 20 miles per day average at an efficiency of 3.5kwh/mile, that's 7 megawatts that needs to be delivered every night or people can't get to work (assuming load balancing chargers). That seems like a lot. Multiply that by several buildings in a block plus the charging equipment for each parking spot... The money needs to come from somewhere.
So hypothetically we observe that there is life somewhere, say beyond our ability to reach. What’s the next step beyond arguing about the math now that this is confirmed?

It's good option to have an option to stand, regardless how good your chair is, sometimes you have enough of it.

I used to stand a lot 4-6h / work day. I used the "LIDKULLEN" stool most of the time instead of a proper chair. Nowadays, I picked up a cycling and train regularly and I find my legs are often tired and I rarely stand.

What's important to have comfortable shoes. I'm a "neutral" shoes person (vibram five fingers, barefoot running, etc.), but I hate them for standing desk, they are not comfortable when standing.

I guess it depends on the person, and their lifestyle in the end.
It's kinda nice to use one, but I hate the fact that we burn energy to burn energy.

For one thing, Git is abysmal at merging rich text formats that need balancing open/close annotation markers, like HTML <strong> and similar. With line/character oriented merge algorithms syntax errors from merge are inevitable. Once you start pulling that thread, like “ok can we clean up such mistakes automatically with a better merge algorithm that understands the content a bit more?” you’ll end up back here at CRDTs.

I’ve tried managing markdown docs in git a few times. Even with a team of senior+ engineer git experts it became a pain on frequently changing documents because conflicts were so common — if you wrap markdown at 80 characters, rewording a sentence is more likely to merge conflict than changing a variable in code since it may re-wrap several lines; and if you don’t wrap at all, any change in the paragraph will conflict on the entire paragraph.

Even if I had to use regex, I'd at least do it in 2 stages:

- Extract all "author" lines, fail-fast if there is more than one

- Parse the line, again fail-fast if there is anything strange

this would just stop this, and similar, attacks completely. Postel's law has no place in modern development if we want things to be secure.
been seeing Moka Pots everywhere lately. lots of vids popping on Tik or YT. New marketing campaign?

That said, I've got 3 Moka Pots, and am a fan. Have taken the smaller ones camping and used on a fire, they're pretty small, robust, and travel well.

I use a modified James Hoffman approach with a cut down Aeropress filter inside the Moka Pot. Medium-fine grind, usually a mix of whatever is on sale -- "the house blend", and hot water.

Everybody in this thread is insanely positive on height adjustable desks, but I have had height adjustable desks at different employers since 2013, and I have never used them as standing desks. They are great to get the height exactly right in the beginning and then I never move them again. I'd rather have a larger table than an height adjustable desk.
I also have a walkingpad, but I haven't got used to it too much yet. Mine is a foldable rebranded xiaomi, feels kind of bouncy, but sometimes I use it. When I use though, it gets hard to use the mouse, so I bought an external trackpad, which works perfectly.
I wonder what's happening at Airbus right now? If they're doubling down and empowering on their engineering divisions or if they too focused on cost cutting from engineering and QA and thanking their lucky stars it's not them.
I think the line is typically drawn at any human intervention. I doubt many humans consider steaks to be a naturally occurring phenomenon.

Now, there is a secondary fuzzy notion of "artificial" typically used in relation to "chemicals". I don't think that definition stands up to most serious scrutiny, and is at any rate unrelated to this article.
I have a fixed height standing desk, and just use a barstool when I want to sit at the desk.

The main reason for getting a standing desk (about 12 years ago) was to fix back pain, and even on days where I sit on the barstool all day, the back pain hasn't come back, so it has been a success for me.

NOTE: I had my current desk made by carpenter to the exact height I wanted, before that, I used an Ikea Fredrik desk configured for my height.

I think language embedding is kind of a lost architecture in modern stacks. It used to be if you had a sufficiently complex application you'd code the guts in C/C++/Java/Whatever and then if you needed to script it, you'd embed something like a LISP/Lua/whatever on top.

But today, you have plenty of off-the-shelf JSON/TOML/YAML parsers you can just import into your app and a function called readConfig in place of where an embedded interpreter might be more appropriate.

It's just easier for developers to add complexity to a config format rather than provide a full language embedding and provide bindings into the application. So people have forgotten how to do it (or even that they can do it - I don't think it occurs to people anymore)
