I get that there are lot of people who like to drive fun cars, and I have no problem with that (as long as they obey traffic laws and drive safely on public roads), but for me speed, agility, and fun are pretty low on my list of priorities in a car. I would rank practicality, safety, comfort, and affordability well above speed.

For me there aren't any EVs on the market that hit the balance of practicality, comfort, and affordability that I am looking for. I'm still optimistic though that by the time I am ready to replace my current car, there might at least be options worth considering.
which is why you should use arrow
Not surprised it failed, $250-400 + $100/year and the only thing it could do was host email, calendar and file sharing?
Yea, we’ve been discussing this as an option, especially now that there are such high quality integrated controllers and batteries. It’s become viable to do this, but it’s really rough as it kind of abandons everyone else to the meat grinder.
the management techniques mentioned in the article are all valid but
i'm going to play devils advocate here and say that not getting that promotion isn't necessarily a failure, rather the goal was not realistic.

Don't assume that whether or not you get a promotion is always in your control. Don't assume your performance rating is entirely in your control or even mostly in your control. sometimes you can perform really well and it won't get you anything. and sometimes you can perform mediocre and still get lots of promotions and bonuses.

and why do you really want to get a promotion? if you just want more money, the most effective way to achieve that is to look for another job. doing that, you'll get far larger raises far more quickly.
Show HN: Building a SaaS with Vite and Tanstack Router: Part 1
I'd love to hear exactly what this security threat is. The only scenario I can envision is tracking a chinese national in America and trying to abduct them back to china, or perhaps blackmailing a US government official by proving their car went to a whorehouse. Of course these threats have nothing to do with china - I'm sure China could get an agent at Tesla for example. And even if they couldn't such blackmailing/abduction is just as bad if it happens from a US source.

How about we simply pass a law that ALL cars sold to Americans must have the ability to disable all tracking?
It’s worth noting that Excel supports Python now as well.

No thank you.
Datafusion, Polars, and us are all based on Arrow. Datafusion is more targeting database users, Polars is targeting Python programmers/dataframe users, and we are targeting spreadsheet users.

They are all ultimately just different UIs on top of Arrow.

They're complimentary tools. We can take data out of the spreadsheet and put it into Polars instantly (you can do this in the Python code window if you want), etc.

Regarding why not implement our spreadsheet built on top of those: spreadsheet allow for heterogenous types in columns, so that requires a lot of extra infrastructure to manage, whereas Datafusion and Polars require homogenous column types.
I love undefined holidays, such as there is a holiday in this or that state of this or that country whenever the final of a play-off series is to happen.
We had sustainable caps. They were made from metal. The bottle was made from glass. Both are infinitely recyclable.

Instead, lets destroy the world :)
Quality was at least as important. Cheap cars that break down and rust out aren't a bargain.
Why are there so many stories about leap year bugs?
Maybe, maybe not. I expect to see trailers come with range extender batteries (very useful for RVs where those batteries can also provide power for whatever you do when there) this means ports on the back, but those will not be accessible when towing so you want one in front too...

The important thing to take away from this is we are still figuring out details and so should not lockin yet.
Title here, "From Seattle move in a straight line due East. What country will you hit?" is subtly different from what the article is describing: "From Seattle, face due East. Now, continue forward in a straight line..."
Ah, I misunderstood which part was a problem on wayland. I haven't used either xdotool or ydotool much, and for automating stuff that is in a browser I have used the browser APIs instead.

Urbit choosing to artificially limit their "address space" with an NFT sale was a bit of a gut punch tbh and I don't see how this will work out positively for the project in the long run.
> When I say DisplayPort needs these features, I don't necessarily mean they need the HDMI Consortium's specific implementation of them.

Ah, okay.

Well, DisplayPort handles EDID, DDC/CI, E-DDC & friends... that's the CEC-equivalents handled. VESA does have standards for remote control of displays... it turns out that that's a thing that people want to be able to do.

> The issue is the lack of any standards for them built into the DisplayPort specification.

Nah. DisplayPort already supports everything (or just about everything) CEC can do.

The reason you don't see this stuff often making its way into TVs is because the HDMI Consortium gets in the way of folks who want to add DP ports to their TVs. The reason you don't see explicit support for HDMI Consortium protocols such as CEC in VESA standards is -again- because the HDMI Consortium gets in the way of folks who want to add DP ports to their TVs... so why bother? (Especially when actually supporting the protocol is trivial... squirt exactly what you'd send over the HDMI cable over the DP AUX channel, instead.)

If it was actually politically possible to have DP ports on TVs, then you'd see some of the more esoteric aspects of CEC (like manipulating a TV tuner) be quickly standardized into the VESA equivalents... assuming that VESA didn't just say "Oh yeah, y'all just go talk CEC to these new DP-equipped TVs. You already know how.".

In the book they explicitly say that the Bene Gesserit planted stories and prophecies in populations so they could exploit them, if needed, later. That's what Paul and Jessica do.
If this forum has gone to hell, it's because of bad faith arguments.

The person you responded to isn't defending anything, they are just saying it is a lower priority.
Only Arrival and Interstellar were released in the last decade, and Interstellar only just.

This is my point. The last decade has been a sci-fi wasteland.
My knee-jerk reaction is to point out that "even if you bought the S&P at the height of the dotcom bubble, the annualized return over the past 24 years was ~5.5% (not including dividends)"

And while I think this line of thinking is still more correct than not, I wonder how much I (and a lot of other folks in the US) are discounting the possibility of a prolonged period without growth.

Despite shocks like in 2000 and 2008, the S&P has spent very little time "underwater" over the past 50 years. But that's not the case if you look at something like the Nikkei, which took until this year to get back to its 1990 peak.
Not to the US. There's currently a 25% tariff on imported Chinese vehicles, and there's a proposal to raise it to 125%.
There's Umbrel which sells a device like that, or YunoHost + your own device

Umbrel is just plug-and-play with an app store, haven't personally tried it but looks very cool.
Yeah, they allocated ALL of the ram to their DB servers. lol
We have development desktop builds. A few product questions for you:

Would you be ok with a new file format or do we need to save to .xlsx?

How important is Python in a desktop version? Would you need integration with conda or virtualenv?

How much do you think we should charge?
How does this change the meaning and answer?

It my very well be possible that its not currently impacting them in any meaningful way. Its one of those things that you can ignore until you can't. It still is a step in the right direction cuz at least people don't really flat out deny it's happening anymore, just debate how much we should care.
They won't be though. Most charging will be at home. Your neighborhood gas station's days are numbered. There may be more chargers on rural highways (charging spends more time at the "pump"), but overall there will be less charging and so chargers will never be as ubiquitous.
If i recall correctly zensunni in the book also used/read the orange-catholic bible.

Overall I think the topic of religion stays vague apart from Herbert making use of the trope of a Messiah and using syncretism as a symbol that major shifts happened in the human societies that brought opposing religions together.
It took me thousands of hours to build it, but I'm at a point where I actually love it now.
Why would they do that and lose money? Apparently, they plan to charge more and push you to cloud services, which are more lucrative.
I used to never say no and I worked 18 hour days. Not great.

I started to say no but that does piss people off. Not so great either.

Now, unless it's completely ridiculous request, I never say no.

I say something like "Happy to help! Sounds like this might take about an hour, I can pencil in that time for this project next week Thursday afternoon, looking forward to it!"

If they insist it's for tomorrow I'll include in the discussion whoever needed me today and let them know there is a higher priority request. Let them fight it out. Turns out people are quick to ask for my time ASAP, but if they learn they have to confront someone else to negotiate for it, those requests die down. Or if it truly was so urgent, no problem, we'll rearrange.
That's my impression as well: if customer service had been a priority enough, then these smart people would have been gathered already. But there have always been more important things to do. And now with LLMs, you don't have to find these smart people, and those you already have can do something else important.

We need better-than-bittorrent p2p social swarms that are fast, efficient, and massive.

I want for when someones posts an article, to have my local custom filters flag it for interest, schedule it for reading, grab the photos and videos, pull in relevant comments (again filtered, perhaps to my interest graph peers and highly-ranked dissenting opinions), and never have to step foot on the corrupted, ad-ridden, algorithmically boosted web again.

News websites are trash. Reddit and socials are trash. I want complete unfettered control over the inbound stream. Everything first class from engineering principles. The protocol, the data structures, the ranking, the visualization, etc.

I want data I can easily copy into my notebook, easily bookmark, easily remix and respond to.

The web doesn't cut it, and it never has.

P2P social should be article and media centric. Sharing news, blogs, videos, etc. with first class threaded comments built atop it.

Everything is ephemeral and immutable unless you want to save it or publish a correction.
WIth mandoc and maybe groff you can typeset pages to man pages, HTML, PS and PDF files.
I know the myth of European cities being more suited for walking but the reality is, it isn't. Even many's old city centers, it's one or two story buildings, tiny apartments, tiny expensive shops and has-beens preserve more for tourists than for living.

I did see one exception. In Helsinki down by the harbor near the Estonian ferry, they are putting in 8-10 story apartment buildings. They are located on transit lines but does nothing but apartment buildings there. You have to take the tram to get to supermarket or medical facilities and the tram doesn't go that fast.

It seems to me that effective public transit would require running a public transit vehicle (buses, trams) so that you never need to wait more than 15 minutes at any stop. Still would be horribly inefficient because you'd be doing lots of vehicle changes but at least you can get everywhere eventually.

Harkonnen is actually a real-world Finnish surname.
As a programmer, I hope programming remains "sacred", but I can see the flip side: It's a specific way of making a machine do what you want, repeatedly. I can imagine the AI-fuelled world just entering the machine's capabilities/parameters, and asking an LLM in human language to generate code for it. Sure it might not do it in the most elegant or efficient way, but many programmers also use npm.
I don’t know that one. Safari seems to have rendered it as a phone number, though. Which makes me wonder, you could probably use as a challenge: 867-5…
Step 0: reproducible builds (like you said)

One of my personal preferences for task managers is the ability to edit tasks directly in the list/grid view, without a separate edit/detail modal. Wrike and youtrack are the big ones I've used that allow this. What I want out of a task tracker is just slightly more than a spreadsheet - most of the time I just want one row per task, editable in the grid. And then once in a while I want to click and get the detail view, where I can have a series of comments.
My fav was a Dell Tier 1 insisting that he could not process an RMA without me gathering info from the BIOS screen on a laptop THAT WOULD NOT POWER ON.

It only took me explaining it 3 times, then telling him to "get a fucking person on the phone that understands tech", which he did and it was processed in minutes.

There's poor training, then there's just plain stupid.

Clarification: I'd given him the Service Tag, so he knew what device it was. He was insisting that I run the diagnostics and report the results, which is even dumber, in the end.
Note really. Cybertruck has a foot longer bed and more payload/towing capacity. Faster charging. I'm not saying it's the best in every category, but people are definitely cross shopping, and will be choosing it more as the supply goes up and costs come down.

Ford at least is attempting to go after the pro market though. You are correct it is mostly toys, but I expect the pro market will start buying them more as they figure out how nice it is. (in many areas the first thing the pro does is unload the generator - the truck can provide all the power they need for a day and get back home, thus saving a ton of money in gas)
I think a good question to ask is, what is gained here by being a web app? Couldn't this just be an Android or iPhone (or even desktop!) app?
> The Tesla model Y is the 2nd best selling vehicle in the US, behind only the F-150.

While this doesn't change the point you're making, according to this, the Tesla Model Y was 5th best selling in the U.S. in 2023. Can you show me where you got 2nd?

Hi all, I'm Lauren Gardner, the Executive Director of Open Source Collective (OSC). I wanted to share my gratitude for all of the conversation and help supporting the projects in flux after the announcement that OCF is dissolving.

To clarify: only OCF is closing down. This does not impact all the FOSS and OSS projects hosted in the Open Source Collective. While OCF hosts several projects that need c3 status, the bulk of the projects are hosted on the c6 OSC and are supported and can receive contributions as usual. The maintainers of the projects employed by OSC have not been impacted.

Because OSC is a c6, projects currently hosted by OCF (a c3) can not transfer their funds to us, so I'd like to re-share a message from Pia, the co-founder and CEO of Open Collective.

---
Ask: We have built a matching tool to connect collectives in OCF to potential fiscal hosts (on AND off the open collective platform) and a CRM to track their status and support. We are asking all fiscal hosts who can take on some of these groups to reach out so we can add them to the matching tool. We are tagging collectives based on locale, mission, and size at the moment, but we can expand to language (python, javascript, etc) for example or other tags.

Please reach out to support@opencollective.com directly with resources or questions

US orders to investigate national security risks by Chinese-made 'smart cars'
It was set dressing for a syncretic far future. All of this stuff is in the appendix where it is not very much explored because it's meant to be evocative more than illustrative.
I think he was just riffing on the general idea of religious syncretism -- all religions are syncretic to an extent, some more obviously than others.
Forcing all of their competitors to pay 35% more at their fast charging network and being known as the only viable EV in North America is enough of a benefit still.

Nobody is selling NACS cars with the Tesla connector yet. They will soon but why bother with a cheap imitation of Tesla when you could go with the clear market leader and not do any mental gymnastics?

Seems simple to me

I did my best at not being promoted. Promotion equals change. I really liked my salary and remote position. Any extra responsibility would require me to do more work. Sure, I'd get paid more but the stress would outweigh the pay.

If you're ever down with not getting a promotion, just know that there are ways to think about it that might be constructive.
Yes, I have a bot that posts daily San Francisco weather records to Mastodon. It did not post as scheduled today. This is because I am looking at all the high temperatures, low temperatures, and precipitation on today's date from 1875 (about as far back as there are digitized weather records I can work with) to the present. Since there was no such date as February 29, 1875 it is throwing an error.

The Gate-All-Around Transistor Is Coming [video]
The point is to not be some random person you’ve never seen before suddenly talking to you. You don’t start out talking to every person that walks through the door. First you have to establish yourself as “that person who’s always here on Tuesday at lunch”. You don’t do anything other than make eye contact and smile. If someone you see regularly seems friendly and has established a habit of smiling back or nodding when you do then make a point to talk to them if you find yourself standing in line with them or sitting near each other. Just comment on something ordinary like the weather or some nonpolitical event in the news. If you don’t strike up a conversation then don’t force it but be aware of their body language and if they seem comfortable with the interaction then do the same thing the next day you run into them. After a couple interactions you can make a point to say hi to them when you see them next and ask how they are if they don’t seem busy or in a rush. Eventually you’ll strike up a proper conversation and you can introduce yourself by name. After that it’s just a matter of saying hello and asking about the things they express interest in and finding things in common.

It sounds really weird to write it all out but this is just how it works. Familiarity leads to social interaction and you need to be consistent about it if you don’t want it to peter out.

It should also be said that if someone is not comfortable with any stage of this then it’s best to leave them be.
I like that one but I'm holding on for this one https://worklouder.cc/nomad-e/

it has downsides though. I am constantly jumping between twitter, reddit, spotify (for podcasts) and youtube to see the content and latest updates from the same people. when I want to share something, I should think where should I post it, is it more technical? then reddit and HN maybe, though on twitter I do have some technical people following me too. is it social / political? then its twitter, so on. then I find myself reading and discussing political posts on reddit which are screenshots of posts on twitter or vice versa. I don't know how much pain this is truly, but the unnecessary walls between these communities is indeed a pain point, both as a consumer (I need to check people on multiple places) or as a publisher (I have to partition the discussion to say the least, if not the audience in total).

as for mastodon / bluesky / whatever, the main issue to me seems to be lack of content and content discovery. which is weird, since every youtuber, podcaster, subreddit, all of HN and medium, etc. is technically on RSS, and even more can be easily put on RSS with cheap bridges. but instead of unifying and enhancing all this existing shared content streams, we've broken off with new protocols and created separated and isolated communities.

The argument could be made that as they're losing the advantage in the vehicle space, they're transitioning to be the leader in the charging station space, which I think is honestly a wise move on their part
It's in the book series though. So they did the rather sensible thing of not doing the sudden reveal, but slowly building the anticipation and understanding that there are people with immense psychic powers etc.
