Yes, that was one of the limitations of the Honda Clarity. The EV motor wasn't big enough and it was all too eager to switch to the gas engine. Looked like it was a comfortable car, though.

GM setup the Volt to alway have full power in EV mode and the vehicle would never automatically switch to gas unless the battery was discharged.

Sorry for the late reply - our kid turns 3 next month.

And nope, I'm very much against having another one, exactly because the first one was such a bad sleeper, every time I start thinking whether to have another child I remember sitting on the floor and literally crying because I was so exhausted and he just wouldn't sleep, or doing something and just knowing that he will wake up in an hour and there is nothing I can do to prevent that. It was absolutely awful and I don't want to take that risk again.

Having said that......he is an absolute angel now. Very bright, very cuddly, loves to play and hug and definitely reciprocates all the love we give him. So I do sometimes think "wouldn't it be great to have another" - and then I remember again.
You probably should have replied that to the GP, not me. I only clarified that what they were suggesting already is the case.
You may have misunderstood. "Suppressing" here means ignoring boredom and powering through it. It sounds like you interpreted it to mean the opposite.
Strange that you chose as acne your demo topic but none of your results mention one of, if not the most, powerful treatments that is Tretinoin/Retinol and which comes up in the first search results on Google.

Problem is that some of the best skincare is not available over the counter, and surfacing prescription treatments dips into medical care, which is a whole other can of worms.

In the end, you are missing valuable treatments but presenting a summary of poorly researched (by Reddit users) or anecdotal information.

I love the concept though and would love to see it catch on!

Build-related fixes are only treating the symptoms, not the disease. The real fix would be better sandboxing and capability-based security[1] built into major OSes which make backdoors a lot less useful. Why does a compression library have the ability to "install an audit hook into the dynamic linker" or anything else that isn't compressing data? No amount of SBOMs, reproducible builds, code signing, or banning binaries will change the fact that one mistake anywhere in the stack has a huge blast radius.

The theory, as I understand it, is that the much-vaunted game engine was not as good as claimed, and the game was also not actually fun, and the man was deploying his IQ more in the service of drumming up publicity for his project than in actually making a quality product.

>It only had a single combustion chamber after all

Just to be clear: At had two combustion chambers. Both the 12A and 13B engines had two rotors (1.2 and 1.3L "displacement" respectively), each one has a combustion chamber. I had an '84 GSL-SE (13B), I don't remember it particularly "puffing", not saying it didn't just don't remember it.

The engine in this article they say is an "8C", which I assume means 0.8L displacement.

I think from the outside, it doesn't matter whether the mass is uniformly distributed throughout the volume or concentrated at the centre - you would feel the same force of gravity. (I'd be interested to hear if there is an experiment you could do just measuring gravity to differentiate between the two!)
A long time ago I modified debian-live to use btrfs-send to copy the usb image into some kind of ramfs. So you could hypothetically snapshot & send back your current snapshot to the USB as you want.

One of my persistently greatest annoyances about running stuff on pis has been that journald is so monolithic. There's no per-app controls. I'd love to log most system functions persistently with decent sized history (since they are very low volume), but have the main app or another app do something else. Struggling to find them ATM, but there are a number of issues opened around this way back, and all closed, saying to run multiple systemd-journal instances then configure apps to direct traffic to each, but that sure sucks to setup & configure, & is something I'd hope journald would help me with out of the box.

In the UK normal employees are automatically enrolled to invest in their pension (life savings for retirement) and this will be at least partly in the stock market. It is normal and sensible.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if you could lose your financial advisor's license for suggesting everyone keep their life savings as cash - it's such bad financial advice.

If you keep your life savings as cash you are optimising for the 99th percentile of bad outcomes for the global economy, and losing out massively in every other likelihood.

Figurative Representations in the North European Neolithic–Are They There?
Really depends on what you expect for 1 Euro. A single CPU core of an Intel Xenon Gold 6230R isn't much but it handles small loads very well. 1 GB memory is okayish. 10 GB SSD? Meh. A dedicated IPv4 address? That's hot! The uptime is flawless and it's fine to host or forward requests and serve as VPN gateway for my personal stuff or host a few small services. For 1 Euro/month it's a good offer. I used it to encode videos for months. No complaints or something from them.
But according to Reddit, once you get into trouble, the support is the biggest weakness. I'm just parroting what other people probably also parroted.
Unraveling the Past: DNA Unlocks the Secrets of George Washington's Family
You mean "customers in the aisles means shorter lines at checkout"? That would be true if you're optimizing for short lines at checkout, but what a business is really optimizing for is sales over time, and so you want as many people to come in, buy their stuff, and leave in as short a period as you can. The more people you can get in and out of your store, the more money you make.

The more time they spend wandering the aisles (or browsing your site), the more opportunity for them to say "I can get this somewhere else faster/easier/cheaper." Every second they aren't punching in payment details is a moment for the baby to cry, for someone to call, for the boss to give them an assignment, for a bathroom break. Any of those things can totally break the moment and cause the customer to abandon their cart and leave.

Solution? Don't let them hang around. Get them to their goal as fast as possible and keep the total transaction time -- from landing on the site to checking out -- as short as you possibly can.

To put a more concrete example, imagine a company like Instacart. If it takes you more than an hour to fill up your cart on the site -- for whatever reason! whether bad organization, slow response times, whatever -- then you might as well just go to your local grocery store yourself! You can almost certainly be in and out of your local store in less than an hour.

The value prop that Instacart has is "you never have to go to the grocery store again, because it's easier to order from home." But if it's harder to order from home, then what's the value of Instacart? (Again, I'm oversimplifying here, but this is the gist of the value prop. Instacart doesn't sell groceries -- it sells TIME. It sells that hour of your life back so you can spend it with your family or playing video games or arguing with me on HN.)

And so in terms of scalability, Instacart wants you to land on the site, add everything to your cart, and get the order placed as fast as possible. And to do that, everything needs to be fast. The category pages need to load fast, the product detail pages need to load fast, your cart needs to load fast, the checkout pages need to load fast. The faster everything is, the quicker -- and better! -- your experience is.

There are numerous studies out there that show that as little as 500ms latency can cost millions of dollars for a company. It's really important to keep everything fast!

I have more thoughts about this, but this is the gist of the answer to your question: because the goal isn't short queues, but rather faster total trips.
Capitalism doesn't care about anything other than personal profit. Half-assing two jobs might not be good for economic growth, but it's the essence of capitalism - earn the most you can for doing the least you can get away with and vice versa, extract the most labor you can while paying the least you can get away with.
The crazy thing to me is that that this is exactly the same as the face scan payment or checkin that Alipay in China does. With the little difference that since it is not regulated by government there is zero oversight on what Amazon does with that data.

But somehow people can rationalize this as a net good for themselves, and since China is inherently evil the Chinese version is dystopian.

>Agreed, this feels like someone put an argument about tabs vs spaces.

This is not true. That is an aesthetic discussion. People dislike systemd because it is insanely bad software.

>I'd argue that almost everything systemd brings to the table in a default setup are all things you'd need anyway, minimalist or otherwise.

That is legitimately insane. No, you don't need the things systemd brings to the table. Systemd replicates multiple parts of what your systemd already does. E.g. it replicates the fstab by providing mount units. No normal user needs those, fstab works just fine, yet for some reason they include it anyway. Systems now can also boot your system, again it is repeatedly implementing already existing functionality. Same for DNS, surely you absolutely need an init systemd to handle DNS...

That is why people dislike it and why it is obviously not "minimalist" in any way, replicating already existing functionality is the exact opposite of

>They're just all handled by one overarching service, which I think is the real argument against systemd.

No. The argument is that systemd is really bad software which repeatedly reinvents already existing OS features in its own way, even if those features are near unrelated to an init system.

I don't care about "Unix philosophy", no system should be designed like systemd. People complain because it is badly not because it violates some barely defined rules about what "Unix should be".

Securing Your Airspace: Detection of Drones Trespassing Protected Areas
Even at small scales, speed is extremely important! I don't know if it's still true, but I talked to an engineer at SmartyStreets several years ago, and they said they could serve up 100,000 requests per second on a Raspberry Pi. At the time I didn't believe them, but since then I've developed several systems that could absolutely do that.

At small companies, every dollar counts. You could save a bajillion dollars by serving up all your traffic on an AWS micro or small instance, instead of larger machines!

So even at small scales, it's worth figuring out how to make things fast. That makes scaling later much easier!
Can we get ourselves off smartphones?
It is a low quality outdated list, but systemd should be on top of any minimalist list. It is the most violating Linux software of KISS/UNIX principle. So if anything putting it on top does validate the list.

Bringing everyone up to the level of "strong and unique password" sounds like a huge benefit. Even if your "generally" is true, which I doubt, that leaves a lot of gaps.

SevenRooms Tracks Your Restaurant Spending in Real Time
What you want to look into is retrieval augmented generation (RAG). Basically you store a bunch of facts as text in a vector database, then you query the vector DB for things to stuff into the prompt that you send to the LLM.

What you write to the LLM might be "give me a conversation topic I might have with a member of the community", and your vector DB will have a bunch of things like "Dumbledore is a member of the community. Dumbledore likes to talk about magic". In theory the vector DB search will turn that up, and then it gets stuffed into the prompt so what actually goes to the LLM is something more like "You are a helpful AI assistant. Dumbledore is a member of the community. Dumbledore likes to talk about magic. give me a conversation topic I might have with a member of the community".

The heavy lifting will then be collecting and storing all of the data that goes into the vector DB.
