Am I misreading your post? It looks like you're not really disagreeing with the claim that '"Green party" pushed to close nuclear power plants', just quibbling over some details like whether other parties were involved.
So if I have vision issues, I'm also the problem, right?

The first time I saw Blade Runner was on a CRT TV from VHS tape and it was still faithful to the original, which I've seen on the big screen and various digital formats too. Poor reproduction doesn't add something that isn't there in the original, it just degrades the image. That generally can't be controlled and is a lot different to intentionally changing the image.
They have an SD card module just not the one you want. That also makes no sense as a reason not to "trust" them. You can want more from them maybe, but trust makes no sense in this context.

Apple however makes a lot of sense to mistrust at pretty much every turn.
For a forum where people proud themselves on being logical and rational, I find it quite hilarious that when it comes to identity politics and Musk, all rationality, thought and reason goes out the window.

Look, there are plenty of CEOs who's politics I don't agree with (in fact there are more than a few) but:

1. I don't go on the roof and shout that they should be "silenced" because _I_ have somehow concluded that they are idiots because their views don't align with mine

and 2. I don't judge their technology or service based on whether they support my favorite political candidate.

So if you are not purchasing a Tesla because of Musk congratulations but I suggest you also start boycotting all other CEO's who has a view you don't like, otherwise it will just make you a hypocrite.

Presenting not purchasing a Tesla, a green technology which is actually good for the planet, in the name of politics as an act of martyrdom isn't impressive.

People here hate on Musk, yet they worship a known scammer like Altman. I hope the irony is not lost on everyone.
Yes. I'm sure it's the occasional exaggerated reporting in tabloid media that is at fault. The billions of dollars that have been funneled into extremely focused lobbying campaigns spreading FUD and disinformation for 50 years have probably only had marginal effect.
I understand what you mean (although I "grew up" on UNIX, don't find this a problem); however, it would be better if the long (i.e. readable) options were prefixed by double dash to follow usual UNIX convention.

Using single dash for single character options allows you to combine them, which is really useful (if you do remember these options of course), so `-exc` means `-e -x -c` etc.

Unless you have a Sony Smart TV. I bought one a few years ago and the ethernet port is a 100 Mb. To stream from Sony's own movie service, they tell you to use WiFi:

Ethernet (wired LAN) connections are limited to 100 Mbps due to the TV's product specifications. Therefore, to enjoy 80 Mbps with Pure Stream™ functionality, you need to connect to a Wi-Fi router that supports IEEE 802.11 ac/n (wireless LAN).

New Open Source video game project announcement: Cardtorium
Cardtorium is an Open Source, online card game mixed with a civ-style board game. Players face off against each other, each starting with an initial portion of territory and a castle and slowly expanding to conquer their enemies through the placement of troops, buildings, and spells. The objective is the reach your opponent's home castle and destroy it.

If you find this project interesting, you can help contribute by making Pull Requests on our Github:
- Website: https://open-source-software-development.github.io/Cardtoriu...
- Github: https://github.com/Open-Source-Software-Development/Cardtori...

We need talented artists, so if you are one we would extremely appreciate your help!!

> How are you even transporting your weekly groceries without a car?

My bicycle rear rack is rated for 25KG and I have 2 70L bags, my Wald front basket can handle some additionnal load and I converted my old kids trailer to carry groceries too. I can carry enough.

But you don't have to buy a week worth of groceries in a single day.

Also we are in 2024. Supermarkets do deliveries.

> What if you have family?

There are seats for toddlers and cargo bikes and trailers for those that need to carry more than one. After that kids love cycling. We are constantly saying humans have a way too sedentary life and people need to exercise in order to be healthy. You have here a solution much cheaper both in term of time and money than going to the gym.

> And do you also use your bike during heavy rain/winter/strong heat?

You just deal with it the same way you do when you have to walk from your car in that huge parking lot to the place you are actually going to.

The only limiter is climbs. But if I was limited by my climbing capacity while loaded I would use an e-bike.
I don’t own a framework device as it’s not my kind of niche, but this seems like a really weird place to throw around the word “trust”.

That implies you believe they are doing something shady or nefarious by not making a sd card module - which they aren’t. This is just an old fashioned business decision where it’s not the financial priority right now.

What I think you mean to say is that it’s a feature required for you that they don’t have. In fact it looks like they’re making one soon: https://frame.work/products/sd-expansion-card

The reason why Hong Kong is quite pro-crypto is because HK is a grifter city. The city does not generate much innovation. Regulators in HK also constantly get tricked by blockchain hype. Regulators think that if they invest in blockchain, then they could maybe become the Silicon Valley of blockchain. But they can't because blockchain is not useful except a tiny niche and the city does not have a culture of invention.

Meanwhile, a few miles away in Shenzen, people there actually innovate and produce stuff.
CNC would be an obvious implementation.

At the moment, there are expensive-but-affordable home CNC laser cutters, typically for a small number of thousand EUR/USD. The more powerful ones can do a very neat job cutting (up to a few mm of) plywood. There are also CNC plasma cutters, which do a good but slightly rough job of cutting sheet metal, and are relatuvely large and complex beasts. I guess a highly-powerful laser, of the type envisioned, would offer the best of all worlds: relatively neat and quick cutting of all materials on the same compact machine.

They might also replace handheld plasma cutters (and welders?) too.

We do get those, search for photorealistic paintings. It's just that they are not very popular and people don't value them much. They tend to be interesting only in the context of being a painting that looks like a photo.

Swift actually passes value types by reference on closures (anonymous functions) if they aren't explicitly listed in capture group. It's per spec. It allows you to write closures with states:

var count = 0
let closure = {
count += 1
print("Current count=", count)
}

closure() // Current count= 1
closure() // Current count= 2
closure() // Current count= 3

let capturedVariableClosure = { [count] in
print("Current count=", count)
//count += 1 // syntax error, count is const variable. Use var count in capture group
}

capturedVariableCount() // Current count= 3
closure() // Current count= 4
capturedVariableCount() // Current count= 3

> for the Intel Macs it does not make much of a difference

Not exactly, as it actually mentions intel macs do not support USB4, so USB4 enclosures will fall back to USB3 which is slower than TB3. The article is no less confusing than the actual topic. So the actual advice is TB3 for intel macs, USB4 for apple silicon.

I'm still bullish on Framework but the quality control issues I have seen from the Framework 16 are unacceptable for a device that cost as much as it does. They have also reused elements from the older Framework laptops that they should not have, namely the smaller keyboard and the smaller trackpad. I hope they pull it together because I want them to succeed.

Tesla buyers tend to be affluent as well. Should we cancel EV tax credits for them as well?

I don't get it. According to the EPA at least hybrids have much better fuel efficiency than their conventional counterparts. Therefore I don't understand how the hybrids would be a net negative.
Why would you assume that? Especially since they said... the exact opposite.
I don't know, it's like a having an essay with no grammatical errors. Does it make the essay any good? Sure, having a great essay written with lots of typos and grammatical errors can be hard to consume but on the other hand we, in the internet age, have some great stories called "copypasta" written horribly and people love those. They are culturally significant artefacts of a time period of the internet culture and their production is not so good.

We have "HODL" which is a cultural phenomenon, which itself is a typo.

We have numerous memes images of cultural significance which is made with very low production value because their original makers had a great idea but not very good image editing skills.

I don't think that "production correctness" or "precision" is a metric that art can be evaluated on.
I've been pretty happy with my framework laptop so far, though it does run a bit hot particularly when trying to play games.

> generative models are a problem because code is a liability.

I wish I could upvote this many times. This is a major, major problem. AI may get your version 1 out the door faster. But when you try to modify it to create version 2...

But someone may ask, "How is this different from any other machine-generated code?" It's different because those tools were built very carefully to generate correct code, and the generated code usually did not have to be modified after it was generated. But when a generative AI is writing the bulk of your application code, neither of those conditions is true.
It's hard to do that - navigate by reference - if you're in the middle of medieval town with narrow streets and low visibility :)
Since adb rarely comes up on Hacker News, I got only one shot to ask how other Android uses deal with the problem of freeing up disk space without rooting the device or doing a factory reset? The number of apps is not the problem. Some apps or the OS must be filling directories with inaccessible temporary files or perhaps the OS is keeping all its old updates somewhere? On a 32M device 15 megs is lost over the course of a year. All the obvious user space tooling cannot clear or access it.

No, I agree, we should do mass transit. I want more of it. I use what's already there when it makes sense. I'd love to massively reduce my VMT.

But take for example my neighborbood. There's bus lines on the north edge going east-west, bus lines on the west edge going north-south. I'm lucky, I live at the west edge of my neighborhood near one of the entrances so the north line stop is just outside my door. The south bound stop is across six lanes of 40+mph traffic with the nearest crosswalk over a quarter mile. It's a half-mile walk from my house to the east-west stop on the north edge of my neighborhood. And I'm in the middle-west edge of my neighborhood, if you're in the south-east of the neighborhood you've got about a mile walk to get to a bus stop. And my neighborhood isn't even a very big one for DFW.

It doesn't make sense to snake the busses all throughout the neighborhoods, you'll spend all the bus travel time going up and down residential streets. Nobody wants to ride on a bus slowly crawling through the maze of residences.

And even then, once I get on the bus half the travel time is just going past one development of houses after another. And I'm in a generally denser and more mixed part of the city than a lot of these places. Lots of my friends live in neighborhoods where it's at least a 5-10min drive to leave their neighborhood. Then they pass by a few neighborhoods before they get to the first small smatterings of retail, but chances are it doesn't have the stop they're interested in.

Transit really just can't function with this design. We need to redesign this to make it work. Cut up these massive residential only blocks, mix in some retail, densify things, etc. I'm not saying this to suggest we can't do it, I'm just being realistic to the challenges at hand. Burying your head in the sand acting like it's just a matter of another train line or more bus service or adding bike lanes isn't going to solve the systemic design issues we have in a lot of US cities and towns.
C++ compile-time first / macro free unit-testing
Compile-time first unit-testing is a super power of modern C++.

It catches errors earlier and helps (to a certain degree) avoiding memory leaks and undefined behaviors. However, the main problem facing compile-time tests are bad error messages. With C++20 and, especially, with clang that can be improved a lot to a degree sometimes even better than at run-time. Running tests at compile-time is useful and more and more powerful with each new standard, but there is also a strong case for run-time execution as well. Firstly, not all tests can be executed at compile-time due to constexpr limitations (for example goto/exceptions/reinterpret_cast/... in C++20). Additionally there is case for the code coverage, debugging and CI reporting. Therefore, the combination of both seems the most powerful: compile-time tests with nicer error messages and run-time execution on top (with ability to choose the execution model globally and/or for specific tests).

https://github.com/boost-ext/ut2 is trying to accomplish just that.

While this also feels hyperbolic, I noticed this attitude while living in Northern California myself. But I saw that exceptionalism state-wide, and most especially with young people. The first time I saw a notable break from that attitude was during 2020 pandemic when moving to Austin, TX became de jour (even though many returned).

The irony that people would leave a large, wealthy state full of exceptionalist attitudes for a similarly large, wealthy, exceptionalist state was not lost on me!
