The parent was asking about getting down to the SF Bay from somewhere in Sierras. I'd have to study a map in detail but I doubt there are much in the way of east/west routes in that area. Also, while there are navigable waterways in cities they tend to be very limited. There's often one river in older cities that flows through the center somewhere.

It really depends on the watersheds. You can get to Boston from pretty far north but you would have to cheat by going down the coast from the mouth of the Merrimack River which I think captures all the rivers in southern NH/northern MA.

I have the chromebook, it's great. So easy to do linux stuff. I do wish the cpu scheduler or something related to chromeos could be improved for heavy cpu use. If I run firefox in the linux env, and I open a bunch of tabs, the fan spins up a good amount. It would be soooo much better if there was a way to tell chromeos to use a max amount of resources temporarily, like opening a web browser with lots of tabs. That's my only real complaint, when I overload the system with work.
Be careful what you wish for. I went with an Ryzen thinkpad last year (Z16 Gen 1) and it's been a big headache. Only after about a year did software (BIOS mainly) support settle into something not scary flaky. Things like external USB displays completely breaking for a couple months. Fan control breaking. Power mgmt in general not great.

I am fairly certain an Intel system would have had less drama.

I am saying when you walk up to a person, know nothing about them, what actions do or do not make them normal in general...not in a very very specific parameter? If that person says "I don't really talk to my family"...does that make them an abnormal person in the most general sense?
I use GET, POST and DELETE. Generally that, plus the URL, is enough extra context to figure out what the expected operation should be. PUT/PATCH semantics are neat but I can’t say I find them particularly necessary.
Do you have any sources? (Not calling BS, just curious.) I'm especially interested in drug-sniffing dogs, as I've heard that the dogs are often trained with specific commands to bark; then, when conducting a search, the officer will trigger the dog to bark with one of these commands, then use that bark as justification to search. In other words, the whole thing is just a prop. Not sure if there's truth to that, though; only what I've heard.
Thanks for response. Some of these thoughts floated around in my head as well, though less ordered and well articulated.

One thought regarding the quantification element. I’ve grown to appreciate the uniformity of Go’s solution, where you always import an entire namespace, optionally aliasing it to avoid conflicts.

This small restriction makes some naming decisions simpler (for example sticking to config.Parse, and not the stuttering config.ParseConfig). Additionally it sprinkles the namespaces over the code so you get at least _some_ feel for them.

On another note, on some occasions I have thought to myself that it’s easy for the import section to get to little scrutiny on reviews, and wondered if there’s something that could make us wonder „should x depend on y?” more often.
It does depend on income because the lower prices are due to tax credits, but this early in the year these folks should have a low estimated income. I recon you had a big estimated income that year?

Anecdata: I know multiple people who are intending to buy an EV for their next car, and all of them have removed Tesla from their list of possible purchases because of the CEO's behavior over the last couple of years.

And sure, maybe I live in a "woke bubble", but that's a bunch of revenue that would almost certainly have ended up with Tesla that's now going elsewhere.
*temporarily delayed version. This is a complicated nuance depending on the release cadence of your distro.
It's not even doing a good job of that, though. The other day someone mentioned the 1990 movie "Taking Care of Business" with Jim Belushi and Charles Grodin. It's a pretty unremarkable movie, but I remembered liking it as a kid for whatever reason and wanted to see it again.

Of course, it's not on any of the four streaming services I pay for (I'm outside the US so ymmv). And why? Why is the studio hoarding access to this film that probably stopped making them money decades ago when they could just lease out the streaming rights and make something of it?

I would kind of love it if there were a modern day TNT / TBS / USA that had all the movies you half-remembered from long ago, but Hollywood can't get their heads out of their asses long enough in the scramble for each individual property to have its own streaming service to pick up literal free money that is just sitting there.
Generate Knowledge with Semantic Graphs and RAG
Yes exactly, that's what makes me super doubtful of this story. Im mostly familiar with testing in the manufacturing process, but still, even for "in the field" post sales repair this would be very very hard to believe. Badly installed, not up to spec repairs? Sure! Forgetting about... literally all the bolts, in the factory, and then lying about it (???) for a repair that can take a day longer with 0 issues? Then tampering records? This is like 4 tiers of management, workers, inspectors colluding. Again, still possible, not super familiar with that but very very unlikely especially since they claim the door was basically not attached and painted over them bolts (again, ???). What would the endgoal even be at that point for the people who covered this up before it got sent to the airline ?

I would completely believe it if they claimed that they didn't manufacture up to specs, didn't install it correctly, cheaped out on the materials.. but painting over the plugs? Yeah....

It says two things:

which prompted my comment.

then it says that the door in question was re-worked by Spirit employees.
It implies that the bolts were removed and not re-fitted, but I don't see evidence that they were ever fitted. Perhaps they were, but then removed by people working for a company that day to day doesn't fit bolts, or perhaps they were never there and the people working for the non-bolt-fitting company didn't see the problem with that.
> I like the spirit, but don't like the unintended consequence that it would create a stigma around sedans

It doesn't need to be anything punitive, just make it that more training is required.

You start off with a basic license that allows for something like a 1.0 liter engine car (I know, also need to change regulations to encourage the manufacturing of small cars).

Then with more experience and more training you can level up to higher power and weight categories, if you want. The training needs to become more and more difficult (not paper DMV tests), that cuts out the people who want the 9000lb truck just for status since most people won't bother. If you need that 9000lb truck enough to go through the training, have at it.
Why we write numbers in big endian
They don't stand up to the claims that prosecutors make about them and get treated as far far more reliable evidence than they actually are.

There is some signal in there but analysis of only a few prints or partial prints should be treated as extremely suspect if that's all you got. The place where the limited data is at its strongest is when you know there were only say 3 people who could have made that print because you can reliably rule the others out if they physically couldn't have made the print you lifted.

But if you're going fishing and all you have is some prints matched against a database the idea of a "match" meaning anything other than "is part of a cohort of unknown size that could have made that print" should be thrown out.
I think most of us would love to preserve the rainforest, but lack the tools to do it. We are therefore working on parts of the problem that are still very real, very consequential, and that we can control.

Solving climate change requires switching the infrastructure of humanity's heaviest industries, that produce at enormous scale, and are the product of centuries of optimization.

Doing this without a heavy green premium requires technology and innovation, allowing the replacement solution to be cost competitive. Otherwise, the lack of economic competitiveness will prevent new methods from replacing the old at any reasonable scale. We've already seen that policy alone (i.e., taxes) can't make it happen across all the sectors at the necessary speed, due to being vastly unpopular.
So far most of the justification for mass layoffs recently has been that this is a correction from over-hiring during the pandemic. Is this also the case for newspapers?

Sure, that's not unbelievable. Tampering with the records is the weird part. I can't think of any reason why spirit or Boeing would be willing to do that when they can just... fix the repair if they knew about it? And if they didn't, then why tamper with the process management systems?

> Kate Judson is a lawyer who often deals with crimes that did not occur.

Oh, she deals with crimes alright, just not as charged in court. The crime is when the state uses bogus evidence to put an innocent person in prison. Or, you know, execute ("murder") an innocent person with made-up evidence[0].

I'll now wait patiently for the usual coterie of lawyers to comment about how shameful it is for non-lawyers to comment on the law, and how HN is full of dumb techies with terrible legal takes, and who, without exception or a shred of shame or self-awareness, post here on technical matters they have -- at best -- a fleeting grasp of.

I think that Boeing is less than half the problem. The US-FAA has sold the whole country down the river with the lack of oversight. How that happened is the problem. We expect Boeing to try to draw outside the lines. The FAA helping them do that is the problem.
Or scour through these breaches, thinking of how to embarrass the lawmakers with info you find in them. Maybe when it affects the fancy people, they will start making laws to protect themselves, and hopefully include us in it.
Very little of that economic activity was directly linked to the Shuttle flying. If we had moved the Shuttle through the fabrication, preparation and refurbishment cycles without actually launching it, the economic impact would be more or less the same. That's not true of airline flights, which generate most of their economic value by actually moving people and/or stuff.
Django + HTMX + old-fashioned CSS (no framework - sometimes SASS, sometimes not). Hosted on Heroku if I don't want to faff about.

For a couple of projects where it seems justified, Svelte (with a Django backend).

Plenty of experience over the last decade has me very wary of too many JS dependencies (revisiting anything older than a couple of years has invariably been a nightmare).
I can talk a lot about this, since this is the space I've spent a lot in experimenting. All I will say is that all these detectors (a) create a ton of false-positives, and (b) are incredibly easy to bypass if you know what you are doing.

As an example, one method that I found that works extremely well is to simply rewrite the article section by section with instructions that require to mimic the writing style of an arbitrary block of human written text.

This works a lot better than (as an example) asking to write in a specific style. Like, if I just say something along the lines of "write in a casual style that conveys lightheartedness towards the topic" is not going to work as good as simply saying "rewrite mimicking the style in which the following text block is written X" (where X is an example of a block of human written text).

There are some silly things that will (a) trigger human written text to be detected as a AI and (b) that allow to avoid AI detection, e.g. using broad dictionary tends to trigger AI bots to detect the text as written by AI. So if you are using Grammarly to "improve your writing", then don't be surprised if it gets flagged. The inverse is true too. If you some statistical analyzes to replace less common expressions with more common expressions, AI-text is less likely to be detected as AI.

If someone is interested, I can talk a lot more about hundreds of experiments I've done by now.
It seems like this is a consequence of the ZIRP era ending. Now that the disruptors can't justify their market growing business models with free investor cash, they reinvent whatever business they originally displaced. See Uber pricing being competitive with taxi pricing, and every tech startup turning into a B2B SaaS, and of course Netflix.

I have mixed feelings. I bought mine hoping Framework would improve the SW (especially firmware and drivers) over time but that hasn't been the case.

My 12th gen has issues with abysmal battery life while sleeping (not just the regular Intel 12th gen sleep complaints, but batt life varies greatly depending on which expansion cards you have on the laptop while sleeping eg USB-A vs -C). Framework has been beta testing a FW update to partially improve this since 2022 and last I checked the beta still had side effects like bricking the left USB-C ports under certain conditions.

Even though Fedora is (afaict?) the best supposed Linux distro, there's still known issues that have persisted for years like the brightness keys not working (there's technically a workaround but it breaks a different feature that I would like to use)

If the laptop as it is today meets your needs, go for it... but one shouldn't buy it assuming that known issues will be fixed later on.
Then why not call it an iteration, or a round, or a week, or a month, or a cycle, or literally anything other than "sprint"?

Oh, right, because you're supposed to sprint it because that's maximally profitable (in the short-term, anyway).
Netflix's situation was unsustainable. We were getting content very cheaply because they were skirting a lot of agreements that made sure all the people in the process got paid. Most of big tech's innovation was just doing this: skirting laws and agreements and cutting people out of the gains.

Also, companies initially allowed netflix to stream their assets because it was at first thought of as free money. Example: "We are not going to loose viewers by letting them stream our Breaking Bad, why not?"

however, cannibalizations did occur, and netflix inevitably became a competitor.
It's like a flaky test in CI -- it worked for so many flights because the door is held on rails, and then by pressure at altitude.
NAT44 has a much larger effect on latency than 16 byte addresses.
> and we have no way to access that table

Correct. We must create such mechanisms. The aptly named import mechanism seems to be the most common solution to that problem.

There's a heap with objects floating freely around, and two tables of symbols and the objects they point to. The sets of symbols in each table may intersect freely: both tables might have an "X" symbol without clashing with one another. On the other hand, there's no intersection between the sets of objects they point to at first. They start out fully isolated and their values are unreachable from the outside.

As you noted, this is of limited usefulness to programmers. There's no point in collecting symbols into a module if the values those symbols point to are unreachable. We need access to foreign symbols in order to make use of abstraction. To that end, the implementation may provide a symbol importing mechanism. It could be as simple as setting a symbol on the current table to the object pointed to by a symbol of the other table. In fact that's exactly how I implemented it in my language.

So this "imports" the symbol from another table to the current one. Both tables were completely isolated at first but now there are explicit links from one table to the other: there's two symbols from two separate modules pointing to the same object in memory, linking one module to the other. That object is most likely a function and importing it allows the programmer to call it.

> On the other hand, why bother giving it a symbol table at all?

Because symbol tables are how variables are implemented. They're literal hash tables mapping symbols to arbitrary values, symbols are just unique strings. If you don't give modules a symbol table, you are unable to set variables at the module level.
You’re also never increasing the size of those slices right? So it’s better memory wise by a bit and maybe faster? I last used Go a while ago, but I recall the capacity was the length of the underlying array?

Manufacturing of both cars and batteries. That's vertical integration. While I think their current overselling of Autopilot is going to be a folly for them, their assistive driving suite alone would be a multi billion dollar business. They have taken on a ton of risk, and they certainly have their problems, but their successes are substantial and are nothing to wave away.
