This appears to suffer from the same mistake as many of these things do in this space: it focuses on making it really easy to run lots of software, but has a very poor story when it comes to making the data and time you put in safe across upgrades and issues. The only documented page on backing up requires taking the entire system down, and there appears to be no guidance or provision for safely handling software upgrades. This sets people up for the worst kind of self-hosting failure: they get all excited about setting up a bunch of potentially really useful applications, invest time and data into them, then get burned really badly when it all comes crashing down in an upgrade or hardware failure, with improper preparation. This is how people move back to saas and never look back again, it's utterly critical to get right, and completely missing here.
But then you have the problem that enabled this backdoor. It's normal to have uncommitted autogenerated unreadable shell code in the tarball. Nobody is going to review test, it was just generated by automake, right? That makes it so easy to sneak in a line that something slightly different. At least with cmake, you have none of this nonsense, people need cmake to build the project, it doesn't try to save users from it by generating a ton of unreadable shell code.

Your claim that Gaza had more hospitals than Israel is absurd. Israel has 5x the population, for starters. A cursory Google search indicates Israel has 10x the number of hospitals.

I recognize your arguments because I've heard them all before. Repeated ad nauseam by people who grew up in Zionist households and got all their news from comically partisan sources. They sincerely believe what they say and fact checking their claims is completely pointless because evidence means nothing in face of a lifetime of indoctrination.

For what its worth the average dictator is even more concerned with public approval (or the facade of public approval) than their democratically elected colleagues. They know their rule rests on a foundation built in sand, unlike a democratically elected politician that has the legitimacy of their institution and can expect to be in power until at least the end of their term.

I did the transamerica bike route (https://www.adventurecycling.org/routes-and-maps/adventure-c...) a few years ago. That route is mostly on roads with some trail sections. It makes for an interesting tradeoff: if you optimize for low traffic roads without worrying too much about about strictly staying on trails you can stay away from cars fairly successfully. In comparison, if you optimize for staying on trails as much as possible you may end up riding on busy roads connecting the trail segments.

There's no right answers, life's built on tradeoffs, etc.

Coding agent in the IDE: Generate task plan and get plan-aware code completion
Hey HN, CodiumAI co-founder here.

We’ve come up with a bit of a different concept for what a coding agent should be. We believe it should work in tandem with a developer inside the IDE. Over time as the tech improves, it will get more and more autonomy.

We’ve been using our coding agent internally and see a 5-10x boost on some tasks.

The agent is available now to Codiumate VS Code users. We want to hear what kind of tasks it works well on and improve it over time to expand the task set. Would love to get feedback.

Why would renters drive it any differently to any other rental car?

The only experience car renters want is reliable transport now. The car is not the primary objective, their destination is. Anything that degrades the journey to the destination is a turn off.
The other benefit the Delta AmEx (and I presume other AmEx cards) gives are the various merchant discounts. In the past year I've gotten statement credits totaling about $600 by using the card to pay for various streaming services, shoes and clothes, certain restaurants and even my utility bill. The offers rotate every few months but I make sure to scan them when I login to view my statements and activate any of them I think I might use.

All of these things were items I was already using or would have purchased anyway and the discounts stack on top of any available merchant coupons too since they are credits coming straight from AmEx.

The in-car navigation to the nearest supercharger worked, but:

- some markets don't have an abundance of fast superchargers. It can take > 1 hour to charge.

- vehicles would often get returned mostly discharged, which forces the next customer to deal with it.

- I rented a few that appeared to have been driven really hard, leading the remaining charge calibration to become mis calibrated, which caused me to have to stop for some unscheduled charges.

- the vehicles lose a few percent of charge per day even when not driven (worse in hot weather)

- Hertz locations are typically not equipped with any kind of charging infrastructure -- if they were, EVs would be far more convenient to rent.

I wish the program would continue, and I would still prefer to rent a Tesla over the other options, but I think the aforementioned things factored into the failure.
Hopefully Gazans will too?

Salting the Clouds to Cool an Overheating Earth
I was literally just thinking of this quote 15 minutes ago. Weird to see it at the top of HN.

Capitalism seems to work better than the systems we've tried in the recent past (communism and feudalism are obviously worse in my eyes due to reduced freedom and the huge amounts of life lost in both Russia and China under these systems)
, but it's obviously far from perfect. I'm not sure what could be done better, but Le Guin reminds me it's possible to think of alternatives.

Speaking of alternative ideas..Chesterton was critical of both communism and capitalism. He proposed something that was intriguing and involved focusing on smaller local communities. I'm not sure how it could work towards technological advancement though which in my eyes is important. It seems to have had some popularity with certain Christian movements in the past century. The concept that ownership of the economy shouldn't be concentrated into a small group of people or corporations makes sense to me, but I don't see a way to make that work economically in modern times.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributism

Regardless, I'm really interested in these kinds of niche ideas if anyone has others to share.
It doesn't: but it helps with the stuff around it. The article talks about 3 locations for bugs

1) jitted javascript code with subtle bugs due to logic errors in the compiler (Rust's memory safety can't really help here)

2) Bugs in surrounding utility code and the interpreter (Rust can help, but running without a JIT entirely is too slow. Still, it's part of the attack surface either way)

3) Bugs in the sandbox implementation which helps mitigate bugs of the first kind (Rust can help)

AFAIK the main objection raised here is the article dismisses moving to a memory safe language because it doesn't help with 1, but then discusses 2 and 3 where in fact the issues are exactly where memory safety can help.

> you can't compare heat storage to electricity, because you can't directly use heat for anything else other than for heating

You can use heat to generate steam that can spin turbines to perform work. But, I am not sure if it’s practical to generate steam from a sand battery, my background is in electrical construction. I’m guessing the sand battery isn’t nearly as hot as a natural gas steam boiler’s combustion chamber.

I dunno about the back end business parts of it, but I've rented a few cars recently, and Hertz was not only 20-30% more expensive than Enterprise, but getting a Model 3 from them was over double the price of a comparable gas car. There's no way I was going to get enough miles in to make the fuel cost worth that differential.
Nope, not against VISA ToS. Post you're replying to indicates it's no longer "illegal" but it was never actually illegal to charge a surcharge, it was just disallowed by ToS. This is no longer the case as of 2013 and retailers are now free to charge a surcharge if they so choose.

The CFAA is quite broad. I wouldn't be surprised if it's broad enough to allow for prosecution in this case. If you interpret the CFAA as narrowly as possible then you might only be able to prosecute when the backdoor is exercised, but at the very least that you could. And then there's the world outside the U.S., where the laws might be broader.

In the real world, commercial fleets (lease cars, uber drivers, delivery vans, buses, and increasingly trucks, etc.) are electrifying very rapidly. Reason: the economics have proven to be better. That debate was over years ago and it was very brief. Most car leasing companies are pretty much done switching to EVs at this point. TCO is way better for them. The market is bottle-necked on production volume. There is no demand problem for EVs at the right price point. Of course there are some manufacturers unable to meet those price points. And there are lots of attractively priced products in the market now.

What went wrong with Tesla and Hertz relates to poor financial planning, poor execution combined with a Tesla specific problem of poor repairability. All of that is fixable. But maybe Teslas aren't the ideal vehicle for this. Having driven rentals, people using their bumpers for bumping into things is something that is a given. When those bumpers are really expensive to repair/replace, you have a problem.

Charging infrastructure is actually a minor issue. The real issue is drivers having to figure things out for the first time in a rental car. That pain is easily offset by the low cost of charging. But of course you have to make that matter for the user and really deliver on that.

Hertz made a mistake there by not just including that in the rental price. Just plug it in and don't worry about it. Electricity is cheap and Hertz is charging a premium so what are we talking about here? They should have just done a deal with Tesla on this. Tesla actually used to do include free charging and it helped them grow their customer base enormously. Don't worry about returning the car with a charge either. Herz can plug it in while they clean the vehicle. And so what if it isn't at 100% charge? Probably better for the battery if it isn't. This is both simple to do and it totally removes charging as a friction point because it is cheap, easy, hassle free and there's no pressure to top it up.
The downvote arrow is pretty much identical to the upvote arrow markup-wise.

No, it mentions that as an introduction, and then talks about the system for mitigating them, which also has bugs which they admit are of the simple kind that a memory-safe language would prevent.
You're right, businesses can choose their market segment, there's nothing wrong with that. They just have to bear with the loss of costumers when the segment they were aiming for makes demands they're not prepared to fulfill.

In your example, it doesn't have to be Ferrari specifically. Someone could make an equivalent product at a lower price even.

But I have something else to say about your comment.
It's that nothing is entirely free. Google lets us use their search service, but we're paying with something else than money.

When a business "gives away" an open model "for free" it's only on their self-interest, and this does not free them of the expectations/responsibilities with their costumers. No matter what form that self-interest takes, we're still their costumers even if it's not money.

So if they release an open model subpar with what we expect, they're gonna end up losing.
What's different about Oils is that it's compatible with both /bin/sh and bash.

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/01/why-a-new-shell.html

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2023/03/faq.html

OSH should be trivial to use on Solaris/AIX -- all you need is a C++ compiler and /bin/sh, no make tool even.

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2023/12/screencasts.html#appen...

But if everyone on Linux and BSD uses bash/OSH, and Solaris AIX use /bin/sh, it will be a success. The latter platforms do not influence the rest of computing very much -- they lag behind.

---

The busybox shell and the FreeBSD shell have been gaining bash features lately -- which means they are gaining OSH features.

Because OSH is the most bash-compatible shell, by a mile. There's no other project like it.

---

I agree with the logic -- it is very hard to change languages.

It's like changing English to Esperanto. The inertia is incredible.

So you need to provide an upgrade path, and that's what Oils does. OSH is compatible, and YSH is a new design.
> Toward the end of 2021, the Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge (I-74 Bridge) was completed, providing a new multimodal crossing of the Mississippi River between East Moline, Illinois, and Bettendorf, Iowa. Prior to this bridge completion, the Great American Rail-Trail was routed across the Government/Arsenal Bridge farther west between Rock Island, Illinois, and Davenport, Iowa. Both bridges are about the same length and accommodate trail users. Therefore, instead of choosing which bridge should be the official crossing of the Great American Rail-Trail, both bridges are shown on the route map, and trail users can choose for themselves.

Which bridge did you choose to cross the Mississippi? From photos, it looks like the bike/pedestrian path on the I-74 bridge is dramatically superior and should be the "official" crossing, but I can understand that the historical significance of the Government/Arsenal bridge keeps that on the map (it is the 2nd rebuild of the very first bridge to ever cross the Mississippi and was the subject of the lawsuit that got a country bumpkin lawyer named Abe Lincoln into the national newspapers for the first time).
