It's not something that can really be fixed retroactively. The rule impacts not just the final product but the entire process used to develop it, including the supply chain. In order to comply, Porsche would have to redo parts of the development process and probably make some vehicle design changes. That isn't economical for a platform with only a few years of life left so it's cheaper just to kill it.

From a political perspective I am surprised that Germany didn't insist on delaying the deadline to minimize impact on their domestic car industry. Maybe something has them spooked about cyber security risks?
Refactoring UI is approachable and actionable https://www.refactoringui.com/
The eventual removal part doesn't tend to happen. Changing the API to a better one breaks people so that's out too.

Adding more stuff to the interface is ok in terms of things continuing to work and over time makes the library rather large. If the new interface is better there's a good chance it's different and thus inconsistent with the previous code.

Bug fixes are tricky too. If they're semantically observable people probably depend on the current behaviour.

Languages vary in how well they handle this. Python and C++ are the usual mistakes are forever example. Perhaps rust or c# have a better strategy.

Training users to act on deprecation warnings and ensuring they actually have an alternative would be a good play. Lua manages to break things a bit over time. Python tried it once and will forever fear the flame. C++ refuses to recompile anything and fears the word ABI.
Show HN: I remade a image remixing community from 2010 (in public beta)
Hi all! Over the past 4 years I've been remaking the site Christopher Poole made back in 2010. It basically allows users to upload, or draw using the in-built image editor, and have your posts be remixed on-the-fly, by anyone. as the title says, it's still early in life, but I'm working on it every day. always looking for feedback!

Technical Notes:
It's written with Laravel, using FrankenPHP as it's backend. PHP goes REALLY fast with Caddy/go as the engine.
Congratulations! This is really cool. Maybe your website could just load into the demo? Have a talking avatar that looks like a paperclip with googly eyes to explain how to use it...

edit: I refreshed and then it did load with the blue mic button
Whenever there's an incident like this, it seems like the status pages take a while to reflect the problem. Why is that? The part of the status page that can be manually updated is now correct, but most of the automated checks still show 100% uptime and only "degraded performance" in some cases despite being fully offline.

If I were implementing a status page, it might look something like a ping to some url from various regions. Assuming that's what these status pages are doing, why do they often say "All systems operational" until well into the downtime? Frustrating that I have to confirm on HN before I can know for sure something isn't just down for me.

This is surprisingly useful. I was trying to find a very specific podcast about a type of data algorithm and google podcast search just recommended me the wrong type of podcast or couldn't find any. Tried this and it found 9 podcasts that matched what I was after.

Edit: OK they were all articles and not podcasts, so it's possible no one has a podcast about it, but this is still useful
You don't say so explicitly, but it'd be good to know what data goes to the cloud - I presume all of it including speech recordings? Or is STT on device? Also what your privacy / retention policies are around this data.

Excellent demo and great-looking product btw!
I gave this project and nvim-orgmode honest tries about a year ago but ultimately went back to Emacs even though I only use it for org mode and email these days.

There's just too many org-adjacent packages already written in elisp. Plus, terminal independent image rendering just works in Emacs.
Right, and drawing arbitrary lines is guaranteed to step on toes. In some ways, the fairest way is to draw it at the extreme (I'm not suggesting this is best, just that it sidesteps this particular issue). Children are humans, they're affected by political pressures same as the rest (and they'll experience these pressure for longer than most of us). We're also already choosing not to restrict voting based on assumed capacity for reasoning. Individuals with down syndrome, dementia, and Alzheimer's have their voting rights explicitly protected, but 16 year-olds aren't ready.

I guess my point boils down to simply: Why? There's arguments both ways, what's the reasoning?

A lot of bridges have their pilings set on mini islands, terrifically reinforced piles of stone and concrete that extend for quite some distance around the actual support. I don't know why some are built without that, it always weirds me out seeing the spindly legs going straight into the water, and this is why.

Edit to add: Check out Fort Carroll, precisely such an artificial island just a few hundred yards away in the very same harbor. It was built in the 1840's as a military position to defend the harbor, and has fallen into disuse. Now just imagine if the bridge sat on a couple of those, instead of the foundations it had. Ship would've barely dented the wall.

I don't know if I'd go that far. It's pretty easy to go from ARM to Bicep. And Bicep is genuinely better at everything ARM does and has a wider breadth of features as a DSL- and that is genuinely valuable. It was always going to have to be back compatible/compile to ARM: moving off it has to start somewhere.

re: nix, it does infra?
I noticed you didn't bring up them also taking napkins, sauce packets, sugar and creamer, cutlery etc. You either already were eating at wealthy enough places (metal cutlery + real cloth napkins) that this wasn't an opportunity for you & that was itself a class indicator, or you were focused on one thing (taking food home) and missing the bigger picture.

Of course each individual action of preventing waste isn't a 100% indicator for having grown up in poverty. Low-waste is arguably fashionable, even. But being low-waste is different from acquiring and retaining arbitrary stuff to use later in place of things you can just buy when you need it. Buying a reusable straw is different from keeping every disposable straw you're given, same as buying a reusable bag is different from keeping every takeout/grocery plastic one. The house of my parents displays my impoverished childhood clearly-- it is a place of incredible resourcefulness using all the things people normally refuse to acquire or throw away if given to them.
It's not just used by docker/packman.

But also e.g. by the chrome sandbox used by e.g. electron apps (or e.g. 1password). Through that sandbox helper binary can also work with being a suid program.

I also wouldn't be too surprised if e.g. proton will start using user namspaces at some point in the future.

So for any non-hardened desktop linux system you probably should _not_ disable it!

This is why "billionaire works 80 hours a week so you should too" is idiotic. Assuming, say, Elon Musk really does work 80 hours a week (being an edgy shitlord on Twitter is not work), do you really think he has all of the same duties you do? Does he drive his kids to school? Does he get stuck in traffic on his commute to work? Does he cook dinner and help his kids with homework?

It's easy to work 80 hours a week when you have people taking care of all of your other needs.

"Boring enterprise software".

A manufacturing focused ERP system using SvelteKit and SQL Server. These systems are typically made with Java and it's becoming clear to me that it's massive overkill when SQL Server is (or can be) doing most of the work and the application is (or can be) a thin layer between the user and the database. Using only one language, with perfectly matched types and validation schemas for both frontend and backend is a huge productivity win. Some may sneer at JS but my product running on Node is snappier than the competition and I think I can develop quality features with good UX faster P4P (only a 2 man team).
I developed an RSI-related injury back in 94/95 and have been using speech recognition ever since. I would love a solution that would let me move off of Windows. I would love a solution allowing me to easily dictate text areas in Firefox, Thunderbird, or VS code. Most important, however, would be the ability to edit/manipulate the text using what Nuance used to call Select-and-Say. The ability to do minor edits, replace sentences with new dictation, etc., is so powerful and makes speech much easier to use than straight captured dictation like most whisper apps. If you can do that, I will be a lifelong customer.

The next most important thing would be the ability to write action routines for grammar. My preference is for Python because it's the easiest target when using chatGPT to write code. However, I could probably learn to live with other languages (except JavaScript, which I hate). I refer you to Joel Gould's "natPython" package he wrote for NaturallySpeaking. Here's the original presentation that people built on. https://slideplayer.com/slide/5924729/

Here's a lesson from the past. In the early days of DragonDictate/NaturallySpeaking, when the Bakers ran Dragon Systems, they regularly had employees drop into the local speech recognition user group meetings and talk to us about what worked for us and what failed. They knew that watching us Crips would give them more information about how to build a good speech recognition environment than almost any other user community. We found the corner cases before anybody else. They did some nice things, such as supporting a couple of speech recognition user group conferences with space and employee time.

It seems like nuance has forgotten those lessons.

Anyway, I was planning on getting work done today, but your announcement shoots that in the head. :-)

[edit] Freaking impressive. It is clear that I should spend more time on this. I can see how my experience of Naturally Speaking limited my view, and you have a much wider view of what the user interface could be.
The comment I was replying to explicitly used socal as their example of unbikable. That's why I am talking about it. Many socal commutes are unbikable, but not the "vast majority" and even fewer when you extend to other car free options. I biked to work this morning in LA (4 miles of surface streets).

I’m not sure how much open source work you’ve done or what packages you’ve maintained, but in my experience, the “someone else” rarely ever comes. Heck I have even been the someone else and then done a bad job of it!

This is an unrealistic and frankly a bit entitled of a criticism.

This is before we even get to stuff like “it’s not like yaml is a fast moving target, what continued maintenance is really even needed” parts of the equation, or the comment above that said he’s tried already.
> In Baltimore, as in most harbors, a local pilot comes on board to guide the ship. Is this their responsibility?

I would doubt the pilot would have ordered the power to the ship to be cut and for everything to go dark right before hitting the bridge. Pretty sure they were probably telling them to navigate away from the pylon.
Yes, they have the responsibility, not the captain, as evidenced by the specific insurance they carry.

Of course, lawyers will try to spread the blame around (who chose the pilot, did captain's actions or orders somehow get in the way of the pilot; did captain not ensure engines were working properly...). But the base responsibility lies with the pilot.

It probably helps the captain that this was a ship owned and operated by a very big vertically integrated company (Maersk). Most ships are owned by smaller companies with a few (10-150) hulls and then chartered out. And while in this case the ship was chartered (along with crew) I bet Maersk's systems are stronger than your average charterer's.
It is done, but for this case the problem is partial compilation. For this you'd need methods to be tagged as pure, but that assumption needs to propagate and it could be violated by a library being upgraded.

> Fine, so things are clarified: you were saying it could be a bubble because X, and now I've demonstrated that we are not in the situation X, so it is not a bubble.

No no no no no! Try to read it slowly. You wrote:

"I'm working in the energy sector and I see that solar and wind are considered as a very valid solution."

And I answered, quoting exactly the line above:

"I would assume that people working in solar and wind believe in it... could it be a bubble?"

I was NOT saying that you worked in solar and wind, and I was NOT saying that it was a bubble. I was saying that it would seem reasonable to me that people working in renewables would indeed see it as a very valid solution. And given that you work in the energy sector, I was merely asking whether it could be the case that the people around you consider solar and wind as a very valid solution just because they believe in it (e.g. because they work with solar and wind).

Again I did not say "it has to be a bubble", I asked: "given your sector, could it be a bubble?". Then YOU proceeded in looking into other discussions and assuming things about me. Instead, you could just have said "well we don't work in solar and wind and don't benefit from it at all, so I don't see reasons for them to be biased" or "obviously I may be biased because we sell solar panels, but those are researchers and they really seem knowledgeable about it".

Or anything you wanted. Basically you said "I work in the energy sector" as if it mattered (and it could, I don't know), and this was my way of asking you to elaborate. Instead you proceeded in attacking me. So here is my answer: from where I stand, you are not able to draw correct logical conclusions from what you read. Seriously, how can you jump from "could it be a bubble?" to "you jumped to the conclusion that I am in a bubble" (and I'm just mentioning one here)? That's insane.

Cash has died in societies without these rules though.
Evolution doesn't rationalize optimal choice. Humans can design their own environments which is fairly dangerous because humans have the choice to gamify, but life isn't a competition.

Choosing both, either, or neither of the two options are all valid. And I think that's nice.

Memetics are also a consideration.
Buying and holding stock for 10 years is not cherry picking as I understand it.
That could well be (especially if you look at banks who don't offer competitive interest rates on cash).

That said, Goldman Sachs is sort of infamously bad at consumer banking, so I'd take their words there with a grain of salt. They lose a lot of money on most of their consumer banking endeavors: they lose like a billion per year on Marcus, they're actively trying to drop the Apple credit card, etc.

So at some level, of course GS is gonna say their best customers are the wealthy ones, because they largely haven't figured out how to make a decent business for anyone except the ultra wealthy.
I'm very skeptical of the claim that most of the kids with good parents in your poor neighborhood ended up in the 1%. Even with good parents, kids can grow up to be dumb and poorly socialized.

Also, "poor" as you're using it here might be too broad a term. The amount of brain cycles that parents can spare for their kid's academic performance is inversely related to how much time they're worrying about food, whether or not the utilities will be shut off, how to work overtime and keep the kid safe, etc.
No, you made your choice when you jizzed in her bits. Don't want a kid and scared the lady won't abort if you get her pregnant? Don't jizz in her. That's like, part of sex.

Don't like that you don't get to raw dog her now? Too fucking bad, man up. Find someone who agrees with your choice to not have a child including having an abortion if necessary or don't jizz in her.

She literally cannot get pregnant without you jizzing in her.
> The ubiquitinylation is activating inflammatory response, but then why would viral polymerase activity require ubiquitin? You'd think the viruses would evolve away from inflammatory response, not towards.

tl;dr - Basically, this seems like it's a mechanism that is akin to the invading virus getting read access (if not root) on the cells security system, to better respond to its environment.

---

It's been awhile since my biochem, but here are my thoughts tumbling around (not guaranteed correct):

- this might be like an invader noticing that the cells defences are increasing, and being able to scale it's activity with the cellular counter-response, done via activation of Ub.

- polyub chains attached to a protein are like a stronger signal for deletion. the more anchored polyUb chains, the more likely/quickly something will be tagged for removal.

- unanchored polyUb chains (that have been cut off destroyed proteins) would be a signal that a severe immune response is underway. for these free/unanchored polyUb chains to be an activator of something viral, it's the virus having a way to know when things are getting serious in the cell.

- unanchored ub might be a byproduct of a tagging. it may be active form, free-floating. High unachored ub might be product of higher transcription during stresss/inflamatory response
> the geometrical interpretation of an outwardly expanding spherical shell of power shouldn't depend on frequency

I think nobody says that is does. I believe the problem is to call Friis transmission equation "Free-space loss". Actually the Friis formula is composed of 3 terms: the receiving and transmitting antennas gain and the actual free space loss which has the 1/R^2 dependency (which actually isn't a "loss" in energy balance terms, since it's not lost energy, just energy not received at a certain point, so we could argue about that term too...)

These claims are often made, but they are false.

Banks do not treat credit card customers as one uniform group, using the poor to subsidize the rich. They are multiple segments, with different business models in each segment.

High spend full pay customers provide revenue through interchange fees, marketing deals, and other sources other than interest. They are the most valuable customers, And the most obvious customer facing evidence of this is that they get the largest sign on bonuses.
I appreciate the idea of having an org-mode equivalent in Vim, but man do the docs suck for this project. Lots of broken links, very hard to discover how to actually hit the ground running.

I hate this trend of having video explainers before having actually functional docs. I have no interest in watching someone fumble around a Youtube video when I could alternatively just Ctrl+F a docs page and find the information I need.

For anyone interested, there are alternatives that are more Markdown compatible. Vimwiki, as an example, is great.

Many merchants, especially brick-mortar stores that are not chains, do give discounts for cash if you ask.

Also, look carefully at the T&C for all of your payments. For example, Comcast charges $5 less for paying with a bank account instead of a credit card, which for most plans is worth more than your 2% cashback points.
Thanks for pointing that out, I was confused about that.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Just look at China for an example where this is working. I think you’re absolutely right, and pull in some major merchants (Amazon?) to move the market.

That said visa/mastercard may have agreements that prevent this. If I were Amazon and interested in the long game I’d try to sue them for anti-competitive/monopoly status and remove that contingency.

What’s crazy is how we have a 2-3% inflation that could go away without these fees, and that’s not part the discussion on larger inflation.
IMHO it is just too complicated/flexible designed.
What's so irresponsible about it? He clearly communicated the state of affairs.

I think he was generous enough with his time for creating the library in the first place and posting this update. It's not like he's owing anything to anybody. I don't understand how you can demand him to do further UNPAID work to recruit maintainers who would also do further unpaid work.

If the credit card companies take a dollar from every transaction, then the store raises prices by 80 cents to keep margins the same (because some people pay by cash). Your 80 cents in cash goes to the store, and subsidizes 4 other customers purchases (who would otherwise be paying the full extra dollar).

Note that this complaining over fees is a privileged position, we are trying to slash visas margin, but if it didn't exist we would be BEGGING someone to come and run it this smoothly.
