>I'm not sure I'm convinced that consumers came out of the pandemic with a large change in car types.

Well, first of all it doesn't need to be what any person is convinced is "large", it just needs to be nonzero. Second of all, it's not about customers, it's about manufacturers. As your own data indicates[0], a nonzero number of people replaced their car during that time period, just like in every other time period. If more people choose electric than did decades ago, there will be more electric cars than decades ago. And there are[1]! Electrification is increasing, therefore weight is increasing, therefore crash severity is increasing.

So the timeline is, each year, more and more people are buying electric cars, and it looks like severity increased, too. Do we have data on people's ability to drive over time? Maybe, but I haven't seen it, so that's what seems unconvincing so far. We definitely have data on vehicle weight over time, though.

[0]: "Sales data doesn't suggest that consumers went out and changed their fleet" – by my viewing of the data, it shows that a lot of consumers, in fact, went out and bought a car during that period. Millions did, tens of millions even, and it only takes a single car difference to affect the population average.

Out of curiosity I tried to find the podcast in question on the Spotify iPhone app. Literally 3 taps and I’ve found a full list of episodes.

I’ve also tried on my Mac, slightly more presses (four, to be exact) as I had to press ‘podcasts & shows’ to refine the search slightly more.

I don’t see how that’s hard to use. Each to their own though I guess, I’ve not seen how difficult it is your side so can’t really comment.

Yup, there is definitely a lot of value in going fast and breaking things, and then tracking back to figure stuff out. It's overwhelming, but it gets you to a high level much faster. In fast, a linguist I know told me that it's how they do it with language students. Make them feel like they can only just about keep their head over the water.

Latex looks awesome, and you feel proud when you put your notes in this format. But you feel equally proud when you are able to make a page equally beautiful with your hand. I enjoy solving things manually.

The best teacher I had in uni gave us handwritten skeleton notes which you had to complete while following the class. Completions used to be examples or demos, or long development steps to reach a solution.

This same course I read in a book about learning that this kind of material is the best for cognition. I felt grateful for that man. Despite being great at his field, and be super busy and travel a lot he really was into teaching undergrads and trying to use the right learning tools.

The course was heavy, really hard, but it was very rewarding.

The US sought a quick peace in Ukraine, they even asked Russia to not invade even before Russia started their invasion. You can't get much quicker than before the events have taken place. It didn't work because Russia isn't interested in peace, but that's not the US' fault.
Not sure it's too relevant for postgres, where uuid is 16 bytes in db & can be generated by db
> A lot of its adherents are older people who have retired and have a lot of free time.

Pre-MAGA you saw these effects everywhere, and they were often satirized. Just look at the dynamics of the "Boca Vista" retirement village from Seinfeld where Jerry's parents live. Many episodes were built around the completely inane battles they would have (e.g. the condo association election) with the subtext being that they all had enough time to spend on these pointless minutiae. Heck, I'll shine the spotlight on myself - I think I'd be pretty embarrassed if I calculated how much time I spent writing HN comments...

This is one reason I'm extremely skeptical of the "Basic Income people" who think that if we all had the security of basic income then we'd be happy sitting around writing poetry and taking pottery classes. To be clear, there are plenty of other reasons basic income may or may not be a good idea, but if you look through the course of history, giving lots of people loads of free time without any guiding principles or direction has tended not to end well.
I think it could be a very good target for a Rockbox port, however they very specifically emphasize Lua and hackability among their goals (check out the UI code samples); they're also developing the hardware+software platforms in tandem, I'm not even sure if Rockbox supports Wifi or BT.
Can someone ELI5 what that "UUID v7 support" actually means in the title?

I don't know how to navigate commitfest (nor would I probably understand the source code to begin with), but the reason I'm confused is that you can already use all the proposed draft UUID implementations in Postgres (as long as you generate the ID application-side). In fact, PG will happily accept any 128 bit ID to be inserted into a UUID column, as long as it's hex encoded – even the dashes are optional.
This is one reason checklists are so effective in surgeries.

Prior to checklists, nurses would feel hesitant to point out errors by surgeons.

Post checklists, people felt more empowered to say "Doctor, I believe you missed step 5".

(Didn't completely remove the hesitancy but this point was identified explicitly in Atul Gawande's book The Checklist Manifesto)

I Found a GPU Cloud Offering Instant Access to H100 GPUs
Hey, this is Simon. I recently came across a GPU cloud platform called Hyperstack, which I heard about through a news piece saying they’d partnered with the same guys that did the Las Vegas Dome. I read that it was offering 20% faster data transfers, so I went to check it out as I’m training some pretty intensive models atm.

Like most people in my situation I've been wanting to try out some H100 GPUs, but finding them has been pretty impossible - at least if you want them within a decent time range. So I almost didn’t believe it when I saw they’ve got them on demand - I’ve seen other providers say they’ve got stock, but then when you sign up there’s nothing there, so I thought it was just clickbait until I actually went into the platform and saw them there… Went to select, and BOOM! They weren’t lying!

I also noticed that Hyperstack's pricing is all-in, so great value compared to other providers, it’s only $4.30 per hour for an H100. (https://www.hyperstack.cloud/gpu-pricing).

It's easy to use too, it only takes a few minutes to spin up and is pretty intuitive. Their documentation also has tutorial videos, so even if you get stuck you won’t be for long.

I'm not fighting, I was just curious what you're basing your claim on. I disregarded your unnecessarily incendiary phrasing ("software from Poland is such a tacky crap") completely.
A serial auto increment bigint is not globally unique. A traditional uuid, is not sequential. This particular uuid are both globally unique and increasing and can be used for primary key. It simplifies certain schemas and architectures.
When TikTok first came out, I thought it was ridiculous that people would just keep scrolling short videos for hours. I got sick one day, check it out, and spent half a day scrolling. I immediately uninstalled it.

I like having a smartphone. And as I have no kids, I only go home a few hours before I am to sleep. I can't have my workstation in my car, but the phone suffices most days.

But your opinion got me thinking: what gadget would I replace my phone with?
Maybe a flip phone, a kindle, and one of those AI rabbit gadgets.

I had used WhatsApp in the browser on a desktop some years ago, at web.whatsapp.com, but when I tried the same site recently from a mobile browser, it redirected me to plain whatsapp.com, and asked me to install the mobile app.
I guess that was because it detected that my browser was on a mobile phone, by the user agent header.

I used:

macOS, BBEdit, WebStar (the most popular Mac HTTP server), Frontier (for programming, app integrations via AppleEvents, and object DB), FileMaker for integration to business data.

Developed on Macintosh, servers by Solaris or Linux:
BBEdit, MacPerl, (MacPython but that may have come in 1998), Apache with CGI to Perl/Python. I think I started this to use Postgres about then.
I can't see why they invented a new complex format for Web Bundles whereas they could just stuff everything in a ZIP.
Aside from maybe size and generation speed, I don't really see why a UUID is any worse than any other synthetic identifier. I don't really see generating a UUID being a limiting factor in DBs if they're designed for it, so what's your reasoning?

I had the same suspicion from Brazil data. It says ~4,5 million accounts. Which is ~2% of Brazil’s population.

But you have take into account that ~37% of households in Brazil have no internet access or computer.

I would guess that less than 2% of Brazilian population even knows what GitHub is.

Where are the happy offices these days? Which companies are the new “Google” who people are very eager to work for?
I'm in the age group that is just old enough to remember adult life before everyone had cellphones. And yes, it wasn't an idyllic ago. People my age were constantly texting on the phone, mashing the alphanumeric buttons multiple times simply to get a single character. Before that teens used to hang out at home on the phone (or, in my case, tying up the phone line with the modem) chatting with friends.

I think this dim world view of smartphones is a product of excess. Sure, you wouldn't have many random conversations with strangers at the grocery store, yet they did happen. I suspect they happen a lot less often these days. While those random conversations with strangers were not always welcome, I don't recall them being received with as much hostility as seen from some of the commenters here.

As for people projecting their own solutions on everyone else, I have mixed feelings about that. Ideally people would be able to curb their smartphone usage independent of the world around them. Yet that is easier said than done. You're going to have a challenging time curbing your smartphone usage if the social expectations of your friends or expectations of your employer depend upon using a smartphone. To use your alcohol analogy, it would be like an alcoholic trying to give up the bottle when their friends and colleagues meet up at the bar every night. It's not so much a case that everyone needs to stop drinking. It is a case of the people around them needing to respect that alcohol should not be a fundamental tool for social or professional interactions.

I've been working on https://webhook.site since 2016 when I posted it here on HN. In fall 2023, I quit my job to work on it full time, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have around 1400 subscribers, which is enough to pay myself a good salary. I've not done any funding or marketing so far.
I use the same setup you use Console etc, but still needs tmux in two different settings. The first one is the same as your usage of screen. The second one is when I teach: I prefer to have my notes and examples on my screen and my presentation on the video projector, but that when I'm live coding or demonstrating something to my students, I have to do it on the big screen which is behind me, and my neck doesn't like that at all ; thanks to tmux I can easily have duplicated terminals on both screens :).
But what do we do? Getting into the information service economy seemed to be the answer for some time, but given our current trend of mass tech contraction that's starting to seem doubtful now.
There is not a lot of info about that, but as far as I could gather the data started to be collected only last year, so probably not a lot right now.
The problem is not "UUID" but "random UUID". The randomness makes it hard to index and query, due to missing locality. UUIDv7 is time-sortable, and so has locality. For details, see for example https://uuid7.com/ - the main reason (for me) is this part: "Since UUIDv7 is time-sortable, database indexing mechanisms can better optimize the storage and retrieval processes...".
> In a country with not much of a social safety net and runaway medical/elder care costs is there really another option?

Yes, there is really another option, because most people don't even have the option of taking Google-level compensation.

Indeed, it's very likely that working as a software engineer for less than BigCo compensation will still put you ahead financially of most people.

"How is it an option to live like 99% of the people actually do live?" seems like a very strange idea to me.
A 500GB HDD, yes. I'm thinking of the person who had a laptop in 2010-2012 and either replaced their large capacity 2.5 inch HDD with a smaller capacity 128GB or 256GB SSD for the massive performance increase or bought one that had an SSD preinstalled. This would also be a shared drive so it isn't dedicated to media.

2010-2012 is also when most folks would have already upgraded to a HD display and so there was more demand for HD content.

Yes my expectation is that Postgres can do that than for you. Its still easier to have an autogenerate on than doing it externally
Postgres can now auto-generate uuidv7, so you can define it in your schema and don't have to add the ID on the client side when doing an insert
It’s not necessarily that you will forget that you changed a setting.

What’s more likely is that if you change a setting with an incomplete mental model of what that setting affects, you might later discover that it opened you up to some risk that you did not appreciate when you made the change.

This affects technical users just as much as nontechnical users, it just kicks in at a different level.

A user who clicks the ‘install anyway’ button on an OS warning dialog telling them they are about to run untrusted software might be doing so without an appreciation of quite how many safety features they just disabled, so when asked later on ‘when did you turn off your firewall?’ they honestly don’t know that was something they ever did.

But likewise, a developer who enables a setting to solve problem A, without realizing that that setting will also screw them when they run into problem B, is… basically the cause of 99% of debugging.

‘It can’t be DNS because that would always be cached, unless there’s some setting that… son of a bitch, who knew that when you enable debug logging it disables DNS caching?’ - some developer somewhere at least once a day
I’d broaden that to addiction generally.
