One of the things I find interesting is that it won't necessarily be tied just to popos. I believe other distros are looking into it. (Can't find references now)

Wow, I really hate the github's response here. They admitted that it shouldn't have been banned but provided no explanation. Mistakes do happen but being not open about it removes any benefit of doubt and portrays fucking up is normal part of operation for them.
Individual model sales don't make much sense as a metric when makers are diversifying. The model Y has 1.2M sales for a total of 1.8M Tesla cars in 2023, where Toyota alone is at 11.2M.

Show HN: Get one random thing from a list of things, once a day
Evening HN! I built a little tool here called Pick One At Random (https://www.pickoneatrandom.com/) to automate some choices on decisions I gotta make very often such as which type of warm up am I gonna do before I start painting, or what type of coding question do I wanna warm up on.

One thing that makes it different from other random item from a list websites is that this persists your lists AND it only gives you the random item once a day so you can't reroll something if you don't like it.

Please note: it persists your deck data by using localstorage so if you don't wanna lose your data, don't clear it. TY!
I agree. Excel being so dominant in its market segments makes data interop harder for no other reason than they use proprietary default formats and don’t quite support CSV in a conformant way

Not quite related but I once saw a proposal that file formats should be regulated to require documented interoperability. This change would foster a ton of competition and evolve standards as an industry to the benefit to all is the argument in a nutshell.

If XLSX was documented for interop it would also go a long way in data independence
The article itself is a bit light on actual specifics, but perhaps the ancient literature is less inclined to write about some project out in the provinces that didn't quite come off as planned, versus some of the eye-watering stuff they actually accomplished. I've not read Suetonius for a good 20 years or more, but I vaguely remember some piece where he recounts about having the engineering saavy to flood the amphitheatre in Rome to host mock naval battles. Well mock battles in the sense that the poor guys actually fighting and dying are only doing "pretend" battles, but you know what I mean.
I'm waiting for physicists to have their gripe with the acronym.

Dig with a Macleod tool, straight jets of water into the ground to penetrate, sprays on turned soil to cool. Rinse and repeat.

A thermal imaging camera can be handy to find the hot spots. Especially if you can get on the fireground overnight.

Mainly, though, you just need to watch peaty areas carefully until you’re sure they’re done and dusted. Regular patrols, especially ahead of a bad weather change.

Australian peat is very different to Canadian peat, though. Canada is wetter and colder, making this kind of overwintering possible. Here peat fires can smoulder for up to a few weeks, but they’ll either blow back up once it gets dry enough or go out once it rains enough. We never get that protective snow layer that keeps the fire dry but cool for months on end.

I haven’t been over but a couple of mates went last year. The part of Canada they were working has a deep peat/duff layer above permafrost. All the trees are rooted only in the duff so when the fire rolls through, it burns out all the root balls and suddenly every tree is a widowmaker.

Also Canada has reliable flowing water from snowmelt, so their tactics are focused on high pressure pumps and multi-km hose lays. Totally alien to the dry firefighting tactics we use in remote area work here in Aus.

you can fly several states over for $40? damn, if i were to fly from, say melbourne to sydney, capital cities of neighboring states, it'd be at minimum $150 AUD (~$100 USD) round trip. interstate travel is way more accessible there huh?
I guess the question being what's the relation to the example case? I.e. what about the case of the murder of a pregnant woman is supposed to be considered that wouldn't be considered in the primary case, outside that you've added the death of a woman to the situation? I'm not saying I disagree with anything I'm just lost why the example invokes anything new to consider in the context.
Well...yes?

But what good would that be? If the people in the group I'm currently in don't want to reduce the expiry time of the group we're currently in, why would they join my new group with a reduced expiry time? Even if the new group was exactly the same as the old group, without a setting that makes it less attractive, why would they join my new group when all the people they want to talk to are currently in the old group?

Am I missing something? How do you suppose that creating a new group would play out in a way that improves the situation?
I'm happy with it even with "slow updates". What features are you looking forward to?
> > I assume you have selected place(s) to live? Did you have any criteria for selecting the area?

> Walkable to a grocery store. Obviously it can close, but I can't stop that from happening.

But I bet you'd be unhappy if you chose this place specifically for the walkable grocery store and suddenly it's gone and now you need to drive. Maybe you don't even have a car, or even parking, because you built your life plans around the choice to walk to the grocery. Surely you'd be quite sad and probably annoyed by all that, suddenly having rearrange your life in a big way (either move, or get a car and parking).

(Also, people do protest and lobby for stores to remain open all the time. Sometimes they succeed sometimes they don't.)

> And we're not supposed to care what these people want; they have influence over their property. They don't have influence over the "neighborhood" because they're not paying for it.

That is a very dystopian world to live in. The whole point of society is that there are common norms in an area. If you're not allowed to have a voice about anything except what you financially own, that's a bleak future.
Oh that's amazing, I'll need to keep you in mind.

I got a set probably a decade+ back of something that looks pretty similar - a guy who was just experimenting at his workplace worked up a small-batch production method. Can't recall what he called them though to search up. Two epoxy bulbs around a penny is an amazing token weight, and they stick to each other so you can make stacks up to 5 without much trouble.

I wound up with two generic sets (geometric shapes for ranked counters, with N points on the shape, plus a set that's good for +1, -1, and damage counters) and I've been using them ad-hoc for misc games on and off since.

Edit: remembered! it was https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/276266606/pennygems
The beamer in me is too stubborn to change.
but is there a market for drummers and saxophone players now that we have Spotify? In some areas of the world, yes. going out to eat, enjoying some live music, and happily paying for it is still how life operates. In other places, we sit at home with our apple vision pros and simulate what it is like to go out to eat and enjoy live music. culturally, something has gone wrong. we're all a bunch of digital addicts looking for a hit of dopamine that isn't going to be found behind the glowing rectangle, but we're too addicted to stand up and get out into the world, and because everyone else is as well, there aren't crowds of people thronging to do the little things anymore. Taylor Swift can command a football stadium's worth of attendees, but where's the Tuesday night crowd for a local unknown undiscovered band?
For the discrete case, it seems that a better thing to do is consider the likelihood of getting that number of heads, rather than the likelihood of getting that exact sequence.

I am not sure how to handle the continuous case, however.
The New York City subway was built by:

- digging down a small amount (in contrast to London where they dug DEEP under everything else)

- rerouting ALL of the existing pipes etc (you can find photos of the rerouted gas lines)

- Putting in the subway

- Putting everything back
Indeed. Probably a combination of both nuclear-thermal and nuclear-electric or ion drive I think it's called otherwise. The nuclear thermal would provide initial boost, then ion drive can do continuous acceleration half way and then deceleration the other half way. That would get a ship to Mars in a fraction of time.
It is surely news to some.
First thing I though when I saw this brand. 'Seal', 'Dolphin', 'Seagull'. They should have perhaps asked a agency to brand these cars a little better.

The comparison is a little weird because Tesla changes their pricing a lot.

The Model 3 price is down ~25% year over year:

https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-3/2023/ (Long Range MSRP $45,990)

https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-3/2022/ (Long Range MSRP $57,190)

But that's still higher than its release price in 2017:

https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-3/2017/ (Long Range MSRP $45,200)

And the "target price" for this thing was supposed to be $30,000.

It's hard to do the same comparison for the Model Y because it was originally released in the middle of the COVID supply chain problems, but notice that the year you're using was the high water mark. The Model Y Performance was $69,190 in 2022 but $61,190 in 2021:

https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-y/2021/

2022 - 2023 was -32% but 2021 - 2023 was only -16.5%, which itself presumably had some of the supply chain issues priced into it.

It depends on whether you have any experience with F/OSS communities. If you don't , then 25 years is irrelevant, so yeah compressing it into 1 paragraph makes it seem petty.

I agree, not only have they stopped making new sane cars, but they're actively making their existing cars worse!

It very much reminds me of Apple's backwards steps with magsafe, touchbar and the keyboard. Maybe they'll come to their senses but I dunno...
I'm a newcomer, started using Emacs in 2022, well, not vanilla, but Doom Emacs. I was immediately hooked! The defaults are sane for my workflow, and to make it short: it boosted my productivity. But, I've been bitten many times by Emacs' UI nature, unfortunately, mainly in big repos. It's not bad enough to drive me away though.

I has gotten better over this past year, I've noticed many improvements with Nativa Compilation and Tree-Sitter, not sure if it can get even better; I sure hope so.

Some historical note: https://www.computerworld.com/article/2526864/microsoft-offe...
"suckless" is a perfect name for this software suite—not because of the name's literal meaning, but because they are advertising their insufferable elitism right on the tin.

Yes, building software to solve a limited set of problems can lead to great software. But for god's sake, if your core philosophy is that you're better than everyone else, then you're primarily going to attract developers and users who also think they're better than everyone else.

The result is that instead of contributing to a mission that conveys a useful message, you just dig an elitist moat around yourselves that people can't float across unless their egos are so inflated that they're buoyant.
How can they fix anything if other software isn't written to obey, or expect, headers?
I'm not sure I have seen this idea before. Interesting idea.

I think you need to differentiate between different levels and types of addiction and different substances. It's not all quite the same thing.

Also, not mentioned is the role of advertising and culture in alcohol addiction.

Or poverty and circumstances like homelessness.

Or the availability and social acceptance of substances in a group.
That was a nice reference, I found it more interesting than OP.

Questions about DuckDuckGo's Future
the grimness comes from needing to make rent, to pay the bills and cover medical expenses. Sure in the big picture of society it's something to be excited for, to see the future, but signing up for food stamps because I'm today's buggy whip manufacturer that got put out of a job isn't an envigorating way to feed myself.

where's the hope in that? especially because it could be taken away at any time.
The reality is people go to conferences (a) to network or (b) to boost their ego. Not to actually listen to talks. Especially in CS-adjacent fields, Github repos with working code are 100x more valuable than conference talks. So yeah, nobody really cares about conference talks or the slides except the loud bearded dude whose moves between rooms questioning the rigor of every talk.
agreed. "Sign in with Apple" has been fantastic.
I’ve used Adelie, which has its own postscript-like notation to render font and graphics inside a tiny VM. I love it

Right. And that other team should not use CSV. Adding multiple column headers isn't any more of a solution because it also requires that other team to fix their shit.
Consequences for my own inaction play an incredibly important motivational role for me. I don't get motivated by sunshine and rainbows, I personally get motivated by consequences.

So it's great that we can provide people 6 doses of narcan and act like they're big strong adults who are down on their luck, but it's incredibly harmful to pretend that this is the only possible solution to motivating behavior.

iOS and Android pretty much have a duopoly on mobile OSs.

iOS at-least cares about user privacy but extracts a huge rent for it.

I’m just sad how botched their implementation of PWAs and web apps as first class citizen is.

Seems like Apple has run out of ideas on how to add genuine value to their userbase, so they’re resorting to rent extraction.
> And you make a lot of unsupported assumptions about commercial areas all being contaminated.

That comment was specifically about industrial, not commercial. We agree on redeveloping unused commercial space, but I suspect you wouldn't be interested in the sort of mid-rise mixed use neighbourhood I would be.

Your complaints basically all boil down to change isn't perfect, therefore it shouldn't happen. We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas. The solution is to advocate for the aspects of better zoning and building codes you'd like to see, not just cynically declare the entire enterprise doomed.

> handouts to developers because they guarantee that a developer can buy one house and put up 10 units (in CA, for example) without any opposition or time-consuming permitting process

That isn't a handout. That's preventing NIMBYs from tying development up so tightly it's impossible to build anything. Handouts would be giving away public land for a song or massive subsidies to build. Developers still have to pay the going rate to acquire the property.

> the laws are on the books

The linked law is not on the books, it's a proposal.
Thanks your contribution! I just downloaded it, installed the Rust add-on, and it automatically used rust-analyzer showing all the information of types and structs. It maybe needs some polishing, but looks like it works like it should, and it does it really fast. I'll test it better tomorrow, the running and debugging interface seems really simple and interesting tbh

On the side of the GUI, what made you make Floem instead of using egui or other similar library? As far as I looked, looks like a non-native reactive GUI using some 2D graphics library like the other ones. Does the granularity in that reactivity have a big importance in that?

Apart from that, if Floem is easier to use than other graphical libraries for complex designs, or if you make a GUI designer like you have in Visual Studio, Qt, and similar, it can help a lot of people developing apps in Rust
To me, the order of magnitude suggests that the select function used in the first version did UI updates for each occurence, which the new version deferred and did only once.
Why would you need to accelerate anything at 1 g? That's a ridiculously high acceleration for getting to Mars. What matters more is the total delta-V, and if it can deliver it in time short compared to the transit time to Mars.

High Isp solar electric systems would not exploit the Oberth effect (likely they would start in high Earth orbit) so they don't have a high acceleration need from that.

If you want to accelerate to 15 km/s in 1 week, that's 2.5 milligees.

> Because then would-be abortants would simply find a doctor who would sign the correct paperwork

That hypothetical doctor would be breaking the law by falsifying paperwork, and could be prosecuted for that. It seems you're arguing that it's necessary for the law to overbearingly criminalize related just behavior (and in this case medically prudent behavior), because of the possibility that law breaking could be fraudulently hidden. I don't buy that sort of argument.

> So you support eugenics?

Do you have a larger point here, or is equating the acknowledgement of chromosomal abnormalities that are ultimately incompatible with life as "eugenics" just meant to be a rhetorical cheap shot?

> Abortion, if the fetus is human, violates the non-aggression principle

By the usual framing of the non-aggression principle, I don't see how. Would you say a landlord evicting a tenant violates the non-aggression principle?
Why create the document once on the server, when you can have your users generate it on-demand, on their device, every time they load the page! Imagine the cost savings.
I wonder if those issues can't be somewhat mitigated with a linter or interactive emulator. In any case, I think assembly is more uniformly difficult (and not portable!), while unsafe Rust generally feels less painless but you might have no idea which invariants you need to enforce unless you're very knowledgeable. Definitely don't write a whole application in either!
> I used to use lsp-mode

Do you not use it any more? Have you switched to Eglot or something?

I use lsp-mode, was going to switch to eglot, but it doesn't have the features that lsp-mode has, like lsp-ui (as far as I can remember), and the last time a compared (last year), the performance impact was somewhat noticeable.
> No don't use comma in the header names

I still wonder why Haskell sans IO isn't a thing. Seems like it would be a really great way to define/implement rules for a rules engine that supported it. I guess you'd still have to worry about OOM or CPU thrashing, but in general it seems like it would be a very expressive language offering a secure sandbox and guaranteeing functional purity for such tasks.

Well, I, for one, dispute personal taste.

Taste needs to be cultivated.

Even if two people with cultivated tastes don't agree on everything (or anything), their opinions on say movies or music are worth more than some guy's who just "likes what he likes" and never really got into exploring that space any deeper.
The thing is, climate doesn't matter. Vegetation doesn't matter. Good looks don't matter.

All that matters is proximity to jobs. Sacramento doesn't have a lot of them (although that is changing now), so it's not attracting significantly more population.
