> > TCO is an important concept that YSK, friend

Maybe more important, but it's not real, it's aleatory and involves predicting unknown unknowns such as the future state of technology, roads and even simpler if you end up with a lemon of a car or not.
This is Waymo's description of the incident:

"An oncoming large truck progressed through the intersection in our direction and then, at our turn to proceed, we moved into the intersection," Waymo said in a statement provided to The Standard. "The cyclist was occluded by the truck and quickly followed behind it, crossing into the Waymo vehicle’s path. When they became unoccluded, our vehicle applied heavy braking but was not able to avoid the collision."

That sure makes it sound unavoidable. But, would a human driver have seen the cyclist earlier and inferred they were behind the truck? Would a human driver have taken the turn slower because they could not see around the truck? If I were the cyclist I sure would not count on such careful drivers, but there could be lessons in this about AV technology.
You bring up something interesting. Structured learning is very helpful but I sometimes hate that I can't or feel I shouldn't skip around. Videos are the worst because it's very linear. I'd love to be able to see abstract concepts such as the interpreter/compiler for a language and it's syntax and important concepts and models etc the way you can just turn a 3d model around in a CAD system. That would be truly amazing. Let me explore it with my visual cortex, instead of of the need to follow along some story I'm not really interested in.
Those were just specific substances for which they had a replacement at hand (and those HCFC and HFC replacements? Turns out they're not so good for environment either, and they had to start restricting those too, though they're still going strong).

Not for something general, like overall polution, of which there's 0 chance to reduce to 90%, or even 50% by 2040.

Let's wait and see who called it.
> A great deal of content about whatever Neal Stephenson is nerding out about at the time

This was so true in SEVENEVES. There's a whole section about debris avoidance by a constellation of orbiting spacecraft and it was so tedious. I felt like I was reading someone describing an academic paper they'd recently read.
Every rational number is a p-adic number (though not necessarily a p-adic integer, of course). So doesn't that mean p-adic numbers would be below rationals?
Where did you use to apply for contracts?
Similarly, Russian translations are often translating such phrases verbatim. I have come to the realization that the correct translation would be to drop the "pleases" and instead use the respectful 2nd person plural "Вы" (same as "Sie" in German) as it would be sufficient.
Let’s be honest. Southern state probably lured them in with a nice package.

Toyota has been moving ops to states with lower cost of living for awhile now. Toyota corp in USA shifted ops from CA to TX a decade back. Many workers hate or regret the move. C-level executives are excited because they pay less in state taxes. Probably even got a nice deal on the land.
It is not. openSUSE is a very different distro, though it does use RPM packages.

Yeah, those poor towns should just remain poor, definitely don't spend a billion dollars there, that would be terrible for them.
One of the funniest example of that is the Resident Evil 4 game, which was supposedly set in Spain, but had villagers spoke in Mexican Spanish.

Me too. Among many other things… Coogan played Uncle Fester in the Addams Family television series, Cooper played Jackie in the Our Gang / Little Rascals comedy series.
I appreciate the offer to me personally but I was thinking about another public blogpost that goes into great specifics such as requests per second, cpu load, user base, but it's so app-specific that even then it's difficult to assess.

What I do notice - and I'm not saying this is true for you (I don't know) - is that people get excited about technology like kubernetes or something equivalent, but it creates an additional burden that is totally not proportional to the benefits of said technology.

Stupid load-balancing proxy servers with a bunch of hosts behind them is extremely uninteresting and boring. But it's dead simple, so reliable and easy to scale horizontal or vertical as well.

And most of all: how much do you save by dynamically upscaling and downscaling as opposed to just keeping a static environment.

If you want to share that kind of perspective, I'd rather see a public post about it that others may benefit from.
I fell for this one when I was 10. Was a fun mix of terror and amusement.
Not disagreeing entirely, but don't forget that you used to be able to type ftp://example.com and gopher://example.com into the url to access sites. I think there were others as well. Most browsers have removed those protocols.
This is a horrible title, that should mention the ER visit.
Cryptocurrency was a hotly, if niche, debated topic in 1990s, which formed the backbone for Stephenson writing Cryptonomicon.
Fair enough, and I appreciate what Google has done to move it along.

But really, pound for pound, I think cable has been most responsible for democratizing broadband in the US.

The real reason I see fiber even in rural areas is because the incumbent telco was forced to bring it in because their DSL service over copper could no longer compete with what the cable companies were providing over the same coax that's been hanging there for decades. It's really an unfair advantage that the cable companies had when you think about it.

As a side note: my sense has been that normies don't actually appreciate low-latency, inexpensive FTTP until they have it, and maybe not even then. I live in a small metro area that is 100% covered (suburbs and urban) by the incumbent cable company who will give you 300/12 minimum cable broadband, as well as near-100% coverage with FTTP by the incumbent telco (suburbs only). All the techies, including me, have FTTP and most everyone else I know has cable because it's a little cheaper and, to them, equivalent because they only know to compare on the top-line download number and don't care about upload speed or latency (nor should they).

How does their garbage collection work? Especially in Rust it would be cool to see a concurrent collector.
There are a lot of "boxes and lines" tools like

https://www.knime.com/knime-analytics-platform

that are based on a model similar to relational databases in that "rows" pass along the lines. I worked on a pitch and even a prototype for a product that passes a hybrid of JSON documents and RDF graphs over the lines. A pure relational system has a "spaghetti" problem because you have to use joins heavily. For instance if you want to do an analysis of customers and their orders you have to split your data pipeline to separate customers and orders and often join them together here and then split them apart. What seems like "small" changes to your supervisor actually involve changes all over the graph, so you are losing the benefits of a visual tool. (e.g. a "good" architecture for any software is one where what seems like a small change to your boss is actually a small change)

The graph-over-lines product is much more intuitive for complex pipelines and I figured out most of the math for it and how to execute it with reactive streams and tear the whole thing down carefully at the end so you get correct answers. (I later worked at a place that built such a thing where the people denied it had an algebra and didn't think about teardown so they had trouble w/ getting the right answers)

I talked to a lot of people who use, develop, or invest in "boxes and lines" tools and they all thought the graph based system was a terrible idea because modern tools of that sort use a columnar execution model which is really smokin' in terms of speed and didn't want to give up performance for convenience. (Might be something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma)
Like a stack trace?

jtm@socrates ~ $ dotnet new -o foo console >/dev/null 2>&1 && cd foo && cat > Program.cs && dotnet build >/dev/null 2>&1 && dotnet run

bar.GetHashCode();
^D
Unhandled exception. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

While not novel, I agree that always including stack traces with error messages, hidden behind a disclosure widget or in a log file to avoid overwhelming non-programmers, is extremely helpful in troubleshooting when source is available.

You are right about some of the “easy to think of” ways to grab being awkward (e.g., pulling by one strap).

However, there is definitely “the one” way to grab it that is super easy and was recommended to me at the store by an employee. You approach the headset from the front, use your thumb to grab under the area where your nose goes in the center, while the react of your fingers/palm grab the device from the top.

After trying it, it ended up being a really easy and reliable grab that didn’t require me neither looking at it while I am doing it nor worry about fiddliness and precision. It feels really steady too, with nothing important (like cameras or the glass) being easy to touch even accidentally.

P.S. Just realized that the last part might not hold true for people with small hands, but even in that case, you would only touch the glass a bit maybe. Nothing functionally important. Cannot confirm that hypothesis myself for obvious reasons.
> 50-line code changes are reviewed and merged ~40% faster than 250-line changes.

Reviewing a 50-line code change in 60% of the time it takes to review a 250-line code change means the shorter code review takes _four times_ as long to review per line.
Yes, good luck writing a non-trivial Phoenix and/or LiveView app without ever writing `socket = something(socket, …)` or `assigns = assign(assigns, …)`.

I do remember finding the pin operator confusing when I first started learning Elixir, probably because I'd never seen anything like it in another language. But the confusion didn't last long; it's really not hard to understand. I've never felt like the pin operator was bad for readability.
Safari used to do that too. It was so nice being able to use Safari as my RSS reader—I would actually click on the original post link in each new story to read it on the original site which helped retain the personality of the blogs. It made me sad when Safari dropped that functionality.

So to shorten this: A popular distribution vector for media is popular and works very well because it's based on open protocols and software, and now the various tech giants are looking at it like, "Is anyone gonna fuck that?"

Not only do you not understand internal combustion engines, you also don't understand psychology too.

But hey, let's not allow something like being uninformed stop us making broad statements and seeing the world as black-or-white.
Because cops get to drive around in sports cars repainted black and white. Every Corvette squad car you've ever seen out on the highway is one of those. I'd bet money that some large fraction of the world's largest television screens reside within police station break rooms, too.

Police unions don't play around either. If a politician were to play hardball, some small town or another would just go without a police force at all until it cried uncle, anyone at the state level trying it would simply see insane amounts of cash dumped on their rivals' campaigns and lose, and Congress can't even muster up the ambition to pass feel-good-do-nothing resolutions on its best day, not even one of which we've had since either of us became adults.

There are more places to get music now for most people than there were when I was a teen in the 80s.

Sure, the streaming services lock you in, but that's part of the deal you make -- small sub fee, all you can eat. I'll make that deal.

But Apple, at least, also offers online PURCHASE of DRM-free audio files. I dunno who else still does (Amazon?), but I don't think any of those vendors are still trying to do DRM or lock-in for purchased music. It's just that, by and large, the mass market has moved to the streaming model instead of the purchased-music model.

Depending on state, IANAL but in “the South” (Carolina)…

I had a less than stellar household, was punched several times in the head by a parent so I put them in a headlock to get them to calm down. Spent several months in juvenile detention because of my “assault.”

Later came to learn, after my useless public defender advised I plead guilty, that would have been legally considered self defense.

About a year later the same parent started slapping me in the face. I called the police this time but to my disappointment was informed slaps are legally acceptable but closed-fist strikes are not. So a punch or hammer fist would be child abuse and criminally punishable. For further clarification, belts, breadboards, the famous “switch,” are all legal so long as it’s not physically, permanently damaging.

As with most things human law, it’s up to interpretation and will vary by responding officer and such.

This was circa 2008 so we’re not talking “1950s America” here.
They should. However, we should understand that for all the failings of parents as managers of a child's money, a five year old child is also not going to make good financial decisions, and there does need to be someone who can make prudent, and indeed numerate, decisions on the child's behalf.
This is because the production value and musical vision & execution of mainstream rap has been very high for a long time. Combined with the extremely low cost of entry (a microphone), most bad rap is solo indie production and most stuff that gets picked up by labels is high quality on the genre's terms¹.

This has recently become true of pop as well, which is one of the defining qualities of the "poptimism" era. It's not that all the music critics simultaneously sold out and started giving undeservingly good reviews to pop, it's that the baseline standard of musical quality in pop became very high.

¹: There has always been, and continues to be, a subsection of rap that also succeeds on musical terms inherited from outside of hip hop, especially from jazz. This is usually what people who are not extremely into hip hop mean when they talk about "good rap." But someone who doesn't appreciate the role of eg lil wayne & young thug is frankly not informed enough about the genre & its conventions to have a useful opinion about quality within it.
What's hard to appreciate about wildfire is just how horrific conditions can be.

Yes, defensible space helps, but temperatures can exceed 1,000 to 2,000 F / 500 -- 1,000 C. Sustained exposure to that can damage all kinds of materials, let alone be difficult to survive. Even at considerable distance the radiant heat of even a smaller wildfire is quite palpable, something I've had personal experience of.

The fire will also reduce or remove available oxygen, there can be tornadic-ferocity winds (and what the winds blow), embers, and all manner of other threats.

Smoke is only one of your worries.
Many landline and mobile phone switches do run on Erlang. Not getting a connection in case of e.g. an integer overflow for "pick the next available trunk line" is preferable to kicking out an existing connection on line 0.

Note that an exception doesn't need to literally mean "the entire system comes to a screeching halt": You'd usually limit exception handling to the current operation.

The sad part is this used to be completely normal. I remember browsing the web and most sites would show that little RSS icon in my browser indicating they have a feed available.

No doubt what you say is true but it's odd as research has shown that using a keyboard requires additional cognition and thus usually more is learned when taking handwritten notes specifically because it's less mentally taxing. If I recall there was research to this effect on an HN story in the last week or so.

It would be interesting to know why the opposite seems to be so with you.

CFCs were replaced fairly easily with HFCs (which also contributed to climate change. GreenAmerica says `They were replaced by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which do not deplete the ozone, but they do have up to 9,000 times greater warming capacity than carbon dioxide.`)

According the the video this thread is about, the glass has a coating of plastic over it, likely to help with impact resistance.

This means the outer surface can be scuffed/scratched in ways that cannot be wiped off. This scuffing is described in the video you linked during his first tests. This could be an issue if you get a scuff in front of a camera.

Seems like the laminate combo of plastic and glass is very resistant to breaking though, which is great. Maybe that tradeoff is worth it.
I have always found it interesting how people who come from the top down (software -> hardware) get confused by the low level stuff, and myself who came from the bottom up (hardware -> software) gets so confused by non-low-level code. I.e. I have no idea how to write a program for windows, it's totally alien to me and I cannot make sense of the code.

I can't speak for rustpython, but you can partially evaluate dynamic languages in wasm with something like wizer https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wizer.

Until humans act like robots, most self driving accidents will be categorized as being caused by the humans involved.

When a self driving car slams on the brakes to avoid a piece of paper blowing across the road and gets rear ended, it is clearly the human driver's fault for following too closely and not being fully aware of the fact that the car in front of them lacked reason and judgment.
