Let's recap some potential reasons:

- Inability to afford a house during their lifetime leaves them with the sole options of living with parents or renting with housemates.

- Significant artificial inflation in consumer goods, no solution in sight.

- A troubled job market: low wages, lack of employee protection or rights, no mandated paid time off, or unlimited sick leave. Attempts to unionize can result in termination.

- A challenging dating scene, influenced by numerous factors.

- Same in the political scene, where left/right, red/blue parties are irrelevant because nothing is changing.

- A decline in community engagement or lack of, with online platforms and technology playing a role, though not exclusively.

These are just a few examples.

No, the cells need have their specs correct and the packs need to be built according to cells' specs.

the BMS needs to be quality (or it'll overheat and cause a fire).

The BMS is there to limit things like discharge voltage, charge voltage, discharge amps, etc. It makes things safer.

I bet that there are many thousands of people in NYC that feel as you do. You might consider starting a hobbyist swap meet kind of thing.

It might even be possible to cover any operating costs by selling used cables. In my area, there's an electronic recycling business that doesn't just shred everything -- they repair and refurbish as much as they can and sell it in their store. That's where I buy all my cables, because they have any cable you'd want for 1/10th the price. I was talking to the people working there, and they said that the cable sales alone account for nearly half of their revenue.
The quality of individual cells does not necessarily have any bearing on the safety of the finished battery/BMS/charger.
I would imagine that the answer would be to open more shops. Obviously, to avoid a NYC-like situation, you would have to bust the CRE cartels that keep retail square-footage absurdly expensive. Parks and libraries are harder... though building taller does tend to allow for more open land space.

Yeah, the package management situation is a big weak spot. There are some issues with renv, but it is usable. It definitely helps to keep a lid on the number of dependencies, and for God's sake never pull anything in from Bioconductor. IMO, new code should always prefer Tidyverse libs for basic stuff, and avoid relying on the ancient and warty standard library.

All that said, I still greatly prefer it over Python for DS work.

That won't do anything. Instead I can start a small commotion by sending a small request (to the mailing lists) to deprecate the tool, which I don't want to do. Because I'm busy. :)

I want to point out that Anchor.dev sponsors the Caddy project and we're very grateful for that! Anchor devs have also made code contributions to Caddy and CertMagic.

Anchor has a neat product. They're making internal TLS more accessible to more developers who don't necessarily need a separate web server. They're doing local TLS just about as best as possible from what I can see.

IMO this has more utility than mkcert -- which is a great tool by Filippo and Caddy shares some of its underlying library for its own auto-trusted internal CA -- because, like Caddy, Anchor fully automates the certificates instead of just generating them and needing a cron job. It's more hands-off and higher-level, allowing you to get more done with less effort.

Am I in the Stack?
Good hunch. On my machine (13900k) & zig 0.11, the latest version of the code:

> INFILE="$(mktemp)" && echo $INFILE && \
echo '60016000526001601ff3' | xxd -r -p > "${INFILE}" && \
zig build run -Doptimize=ReleaseFast < "${INFILE}"
> execution time: 27.742µs

vs

> echo '60016000526001601ff3' | xxd -r -p | zig build run -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
> execution time: 27.999µs

The idea that the overlap of execution here by itself plays a role is nonsensical. The overlap of execution + reading a byte at a time causing kernel mutex contention seems like a more plausible explanation although I would expect someone better knowledgeable (& more motivated) about capturing kernel perf measurements to confirm. If this is the explanation, I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a lock-free path for pipes in the kernel.

> It has value due to its location, something that the owner has no control over and did not spend a single penny to make more attractive

To be fair, the owner is paying property taxes - which do go towards improving the location.

> The apartment has value not because of anything inside the apartment or the building.

I think you'll find, in basically any city, that the quality of a building does correlate to it's rent price or value. You'll also find that owners do invest in increasing the quality of their buildings, which does improve the value or "niceness" of the location. If this wasn't true, gentrification couldn't exist.

> Why should someone profit from the attractiveness of a location they haven't actually built?

If you're claiming that since no real identifiable person or group "built" the attractiveness of a location, and that therefore no one should get to profit from it, you'd be seriously tampering with the signal that the natural markets supply/demand provides in the form of rental prices. That's going to lead to some significant "economic inefficiencies" for the area in the medium to long term.

For sure, Java developers need to use a tool like yours to distribute their app. My experience with some Java applications was that running it triggered an attempt to download (I assume) the JRE, which I cancelled as I didn't know the source of download and didn't want it to download some PUA or malware. (I remember JRE for windows used to bundle some browser toolbar on windows). Hence my attemt to install it myself beforehand. But, since Oracle has stopped distributing latest JRE through Java.com for macOS, I looked for it in MacPorts. And it is really confusing - for example, if you look at the OpenJDK-Zulu port that you recommended - https://ports.macports.org/port/openjdk21-zulu/details/ - it has 4 variants:

1. Applets ( Advertise the JVM capability "Applets".)

2.BundledApp ( Advertise the JVM capability "BundledApp". This is required by some java-based app bundles to recognize and use the JVM.)

3. JNI ( Advertise the JVM capability "JNI". This is required by some java-based app bundles to recognize and use the JVM.)

4. WebStart ( Advertise the JVM capability "WebStart".)

> I never understood the anti-dividend and anti-buyback mindset.

I'll try to explain it.

Companies use stock buybacks to give away massive amounts of capital. Capital that they clearly need for their long term health. Then, because they're important to the economy when they have a downturn they come to taxpayers and ask for massive amounts of cash.

This is for example what happened to the airlines which then got over $50 billion or so in bailouts. They spent about 80% of that in the previous few years on stock buybacks. They would have been healthy enough to survive without the bailouts. So what happens is companies give their money away to the rich, constantly fail because of that, and take money away from the poor to cover up for their failure.

Stock buybacks create a conflict of interest where companies can directly manipulate their stock prices. So instead of building the best enterprise, they can pump money into bringing their stock up artificially.

The fact that this overt manipulation of your own stock price is bad was well understood after the Great Depression and that's why it was basically banned by the act that set up the SEC in 1934. The SEC then passed Rule 10b-18 granting companies an exception from the market manipulation rules under Reagan.

That's a pretty clear case of a regulatory agency going against the will of Congress to create basically its own law. It will be interesting to see what happens to Rule 10b-18 if the Supreme Court reverses Chevron in a few months.

> The new CEO banned buybacks.

Of course. After 20 years of stock buybacks where they gave away the vast majority of their cash the new CEO wants money from the CHIPS act which says they cannot have buybacks for 5 years.

It will also be interesting to see if the CHIPS act has any teeth. BAE took the money but is doing buybacks anyway.

This is too long of a topic for an HN post. Here's a nice and balanced writeup https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3639389

My personal position is far more extreme, there should be a clear ban and the SEC should not be allowed to overturn the law as it was written with a regulation. Certainly if the EPA cannot regulate carbon through the same logic, the SEC should not be allowed to do so.

>Are you suggesting that nothing of cultural significance has happened in Paris since the Louvre opened as a museum in 1793?

No; I'm not suggesting anything of the sort. In fact, that seems like a fairly strange statement given that I mentioned the Centre Pompidou (opened in the 1970s) in practically the same breath.

>Or that Paris's culture can be reduced to a set of buildings?

No; again, not sure where that's coming from.

My point, which you didn't address at all, was that you seemed to be implying that there was some kind of correlation between lower-income housing in cities and their cultural significance. Was that your goal? If so, can you explain further?
> American culture doesn't like to think about how much of "success" is down to luck. As often as possible, we want to think it's earned.

Warning: This checks if it’s running the latest version and refuses to run if it isn’t up to date. They just released v0.0.16 15 minutes ago and the update hasn’t hit Homebrew yet, so it has completely disabled itself and won’t run. There doesn’t seem to be any option to skip the version check.

They aren't slapping LiPos together. They aren't even using LiPos. LiPo are usually single small cells pouches in phones and gizmos. These are Li-Ion 18650 cells like Samsung 50e's being nickle spot welded into ~60V arrangements, with every 4.2V "p-pack" getting a wire to the Battery Management System circuit board. All charge and discharge does thru the approval of the BMS and gets cut off if any cell shows anything abnormal (short, too much resistance (voltage dipping), undervolted, overvolted). The photos look just as professionally made as another other factory. Unwrap literally any random e-bike's battery and you'll find identical construction. A few rare brands also pot the battery in thermal epoxy to make them even more safe. Yes fire and liability are scary for battery pack builders but this guys shop doesn't appear to be doing anything bad.

No, but I may have been missing some debugging CONFIGs. I was just using the stock Arch kconfig.

I did submit a patch to add a WARN_ON() for this case: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/d4a055317bdb8ecbd7e6d9bd...

But to catch the general class of bugs you'd need something like KCSAN. I did try that but the kernel is not KCSAN-clean so it was hard to know if any reports were relevant.
