> Depends on how readily you have access to a charging port at home/work. if you have no garage to park in and charge overnight with, you're pretty much stuck at some public space for 30 minutes minimum (assuming fast charging).

Right; as the article puts it,

> The majority of today’s American EV owners charge at home, but more than 20 percent of US households don’t have access to consistent off-street parking where they can plug in overnight. The public charging network, meanwhile, can be spotty, and drivers have complained that chargers aren’t always well maintained or even functioning.

Although, that said, it's possible that getting 80% of cars to be EVs would be a big win already; assuming the number really is 20% that may not be a big problem.
The article also includes a paragraph about erectile dysfunction in men.
Lol if you can remember how to use ImageMagick and Ffmpeg but not Git, I don't get it. Those programs do have very different argument passing styles than Git, but Git uses the same style as most every other unix/linux program. If you use it and know what you're doing, you should not be able to lose any work.

My advice to get over the hump you're on is to commit more often, check the status more often (`git diff [--staged]` and `git status`), and make sure you're branching or tagging enough to not lose commits. Then work on how to edit commits with `git rebase -i`. You can use rebase and cherry-pick to eliminate any unwanted commits or branches easily (notwithstanding conflicts, which are another critical thing to learn). If you feel like you messed up, you can almost always `git reset --hard` to the last commit you were on. If you forgot which commit you were on, there's the reflog. Generally, to be good at Git you have to take a few hours to learn it. It differs from the other programs you mentioned because there are different problems you can encounter at various points while using Git, whereas those other ones just succeed or fail and don't usually fail in unrecoverable ways (you just run them again until you're satisfied with the output). You can iterate on modifications to your commit history with Git but that is trickier and riskier.

There are many excellent Git tutorials online that explain everything an ordinary user needs, including rebases and the reflog. I think Github has one. Maybe that's what you need to figure it out, in addition to practice of course.
Those split bike seats help just a tad, but it’s still not enough
> you can never guess what angle interviewer is coming at you

Why would you guess in that situation though?

It’s an interview, there’s at least 1 person talking to you — you should talk to them, ask them questions, share your thoughts. If you talking to them is a red flag, then high chances that you wouldn’t want to work there anyway.
It's obviously the result of a construction project by a hitherto unknown Type IV civilization on the Kardashev scale. /s
I would use a variable power supply, amp meter and some sacrificial fuses. Slowly turn up the voltage while watching amps on the circuit until it blows? Or simply apply the rated amps (with current controlled power supply) to verify if/when the fuse blows.

I have a multiple-fuse assortment kit that was a great (too good?) deal from AliExpress. Now I'm thinking I need to do some of those tests myself to verify their rating.
That's not an excuse. Men can and should be capable of "oh shit, we should fix this bad experience women have!" Without needing to center men's experiences.
There's famously more men in tech and people like to talk about themselves or apply a situation to themselves. I fully expected comments to talk about how this affects men.

I believe you'll find the reverse happens too; talk about an issue affecting men to a prominently female audience and the topic will be changed to how it affects women.
Consciousness as the word is commonly used is a descriptor of the material processes that happen in your body. It’s not clear what you’re referring to as consciousness.
For the people who didn't read that far:

Back in 1997, Bicycling published a story that linked cycling to erectile dysfunction in men. The article sparked a slew of research on the sport’s impact on male sexual health and led to the development of the first Specialized Body Geometry saddle, which featured a center cutout that relieved arterial pressure. “That story brought it out of the closet,” says Pruitt, who was also a consultant for Specialized’s Body Geometry line and lead developer of the Mimic. But for women, he says, it’s been “a silent epidemic.”
It absolutely can be worse.

Right now, their limited subset of answers would be wrong in a way that is easily correctable. They fail safe.

An LLM doesn’t fail safe. It fails confidently. Correcting bad responses can be a very expensive and time consuming effort. In the meantime you get actively harmful suggestions: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/05/googl...

Alexa telling you the wrong weather is a lot less harmful than it telling you to do something that would harm you (staring at the sun, running with scissors, smoking when pregnant) or spreading political misinformation (telling you conspiracy theories).
Starlink has an upload speed between 5 and 20 Mbps. The Svalbard cable is a 10Gbps link. It's still a major difference.

That said apparently they do have a satellite backup, just not through Starlink.
Which software do you need from PPA?

At the end of the day, stuff in PPAs is just .deb packages, so it may be possible to just install them in Debian. That said, I've never had to use a PPA in my life, the default Debian archive already has basically everything.
You know my co-workers who grew up without English never seem to have all these problems. Almost like bored developers have nothing to do, but wave around their thesaurus. This is free speech and a real opinion please respect it to maintain a good discussion.
I am not an economist but if we would treat house ownership something that is beneficial for the whole society (less traffic from commuters, less homeless etc) and remove the speculations/foreign investments around housing?

Why not apply the following:
- every house not used for primary living place is highly taxed (removing all speculative ownership)
- charge foreign investors heavily (australia will do this soon)
- tax reduction for renting places for lower than median per square meter price - incentivising affordable homes

Just trying to understand why this wouldn’t work?
That is a form of Accounting, yes. There are others though, like metrics, and Accounting is meant to mean all of the recording/telemetry.
My experience: a lot of the confusion in technical conversations is due to two parties using the same term for different but related concepts. Relabeling the concepts to clarify the distinction is the right thing to do.

>> or could we just use longer words?

Agreed: relabeling, with longer words when necessary, can help.
Wouldn't UBI alone - I mean full UBI, the one where you get basic income in addition to any other income - just cause the market to work around it, ie rent now costs $normal_rent + UBI, mortgage rates now take into account the UBI base etc? Normally, when I hear "just UBI", if I dig a bit, it means "just UBI plus a huge list of radical social reforms that would change drastically the face of economy".
We’re all hanging out in the comments, none of us should be casting that stone.
I don't have an EV but I've got the complete opposite view as you. Having my car always sitting around full and ready to go would be awesome. Leaving home in one direction, gas stations are plentiful and competitively priced. In the other direction, they are scarce and overpriced. Lately we've been doing a bunch of trips in the scarce direction, so I invariably end up digging into the cache of lawnmower/generator gas to solve the immediate problem, rather than going twenty minutes out of the way or paying the Dane-geld to fill up at an overpriced station. An EV would make it so I would never have to think about refueling, except for long trips for which I already have to think about rest stops.
If it’s anonymous, how do you know it’s true?
Also, IAM usually means SSO solutions for employees i.e. things like Okta/OneLogin..

CIAM usually means external facing authN/authZ.. (customer identity and access mgmt)

There's so many terms in this space that are already confusing.
That would require replacing all the satellites with new ones capable of doing that, which doesn't seem feasible. Starlink also doesn't have great coverage of the polar regions.
Yes and CO2 keeps that energy here, and the ocean absorbs a lot of that heat.

If you’re trying to say that the sun is responsible for rising ocean temperatures, I’d like you to consider how long the sun and the oceans have been around, and I ask you why they haven’t boiled away, yet.

The sun is not responsible for the recent dramatic increase in ocean temperatures. That’s on us (humanity).
This reminds me of the CUE evaluator, which has its roots in LinGo and the data structures / algos for efficiently representing / evaluating linguistic rules for old-style (pre NN) NLP systems. I believe it is more like Typed Feature Structures now, though it is evolving into something different since the target language is not a human language or doesn't involve probabilities
I admire your optimism that all the fuses will behave similarly.
I lead on the team responsible for auth on our product, and we just go with authN and authZ when we don’t mean both.
> To be honest it's not clear if it's from our point of view or not, since they don't mention it explicitly in the paper, but it seems to be the case since they start from observations made by the Apache Point Observatory, which is on Earth

Would the perspective difference be significant even if it were far out into the solar system?
I think the Factorio equivalent would be more like licensing chip designs. It doesn’t have the same false scarcity as other games.
There are several farms not far from my cabin, some have started selling directly.

One has some of the tastiest cauliflower I've ever had, lightly steamed they're a gourmet meal in itself. Lots of other good stuff too. While not cheap-cheap, they're less expensive than the grocery store, and much better. And farmer gets a fairer share.
I'm actually running clang (look at the second line of the transcript). I just invoke it with gcc out of thirty years of habit.
> A perfect and pressureless fluid can be interpreted as a model of a configuration of dust particles that locally move in concert and interact with each other only gravitationally, from which the name is derived.

That "only" is important but unintuitive. It means space and time can not be separated from mass.
maybe because 60 Hz on LCD doesn't make your eyes bleed like anything less than 85Hz on CRT does?
>> Isn't MS Rewind/Recall supposed to be encrypted and offline, on-device only?

From what I have been reading, the raw data is meant to remain local (the screen recordings) but I am unclear about the indexed AI-generated metadata. For instance, if the AI identified that you used X software at Y time to complete Z task, are the XYZ tags kept local or archived elsewhere? That might not violate many privacy rules. Either way, they certainly could be uploaded/shared very easily should Microsoft's policies change. I guess it is down to how much we all trust Microsoft long term.

Personally, I will never accept someone recording my screens. In fact, running any such software on my work machine would violate a host of professional rules.
It's possible he didn't see the train in time to fully stop.

Braking is important but steering to avoid something is probably the better option in most cases. It takes some distance to stop a fast traveling, heavy vehicle.

Imagine seeing an accident happen directly in front of you on the highway. You better be able to steer in time cause you sure aren't stopping before hitting anything.

This is also the reason to try and have both hands on the steering wheel all of the time, versus a relaxed one hand at 12 o'clock lounge while doing 70+ mph.
I have been meaning to explore nextcloud. What client do you use for Android and iPhone?
We have been doing something similar with https://htpy.dev the last ~6 months.
I don't get it. Just get a big nice well padded seat. Who cares if it weighs 500 grams? Doesn't matter unless you're in tour the France or something.

No good reason to use those horrible diamond hard lightweight seats.
No one knows what a Joule is though. “1 Watt Second” is not a familiar term for most people.
You'd obviously need images for implementing a YouTube app (e.g. for thumbnails, icons, avatars), and the HTML subset reference[0] lists jpeg, png and webp as supported formats. Is it possible that images are to be shown using the video tag?

Indeed, Authorization includes things like license checks, time of use restrictions, etc.
Clearly there's room for innovation here. I'm sure someone (maybe a woman inventor, since they have first-hand experience with this stuff) will come up with a radical new design for a bike seat that works for them?
SSO is really just the Identity part, and one way to prove identity, more conveniently across many systems.

SSO misses the Access (permissions) part, which requires policies constraining the acting identity, the target, and the action to be performed
This goes for men and women, but it’s irresponsible to say this can be treated. Just don’t over do it. It’s like saying you should wear diapers when playing video games for 8 days straight because that causes incontinence.
For anyone curious, I found the relevant sentence. An astonishingly counterintuitive almost throwaway remark by a world's expert sent me on a deep dive on what else can and does cause lung problems. Dr Martin Tobin says it at 3h 02m 40s...

In the article, mentioned Linux is mentioned as the underlying OS. Wonder what approach Ubicloud takes (if any) to have actual diversity in the software stack for the purpose of reliability and security. My assumption here being, that different OSes, while increasing the attack vector also make it more likely that the whole fleet is not susceptible to the same software problem or vulnerability at roughly the same time. Just something I started pondering about after seeing Hetzner, which is quite popular in the BSD land.
Shit, all life is a birth defect? Explains a lot.
I'm not sure merely being quick to get to 60 mph is the measure of how good a car is.

Maybe the core systems don't break down as much, and they are safer, but very modern cars are horrible in several ways: Uber-complex electronics that are prone to breaking in myriad ways; CVTs that cannot be compared to manual/automatic transmissions, weak A/Cs, poor aesthetics. Even the much-touted safety systems are finicky.
But we are labeled SREs, we follow some of SRE practices. No True Scotsman arguments are pointless.
> Even the most bleeding heart liberal is all about "protecting the character of our neighborhood". Just look at San Francisco.

I love those green and saffron signs about welcoming refugees that they put in the neighborhoods where you can't touch property for under $2M. I want stickers I can slap on those signs that say "...if you can afford this neighborhood, lol."
Seems radically useful! Amazing work.

I'll definitely look into using this in my stack. Love the focus on p2p possibilities
Well padded seats are less comfortable, they give and then you just chafe.

You want to be on your sit bones.
The sarcasm made an already shaky point even worse.

There's a huge difference in magnitude here (writing a note vs. screen grabbing everything you ever do on the computer), and also a difference of awareness (intently recording one moment in time with a photo vs. almost unconsciously being recorded all the time even if you enabled it).

These simplistic fallacies are the result of very superficial assessments. Either an apparently small mistake leads to a wildly wrong conclusion (being overheard once is the same as being overheard all the time, because overheard is overheard), or everything is justifiable in small increments so you just loop through them as many times as it takes to get to a wildly unacceptable result (if one photo is ok, then two photos are ok, and just iterate it until you get 30 photos per second of constant video surveillance, you just said you're fine with one more photo).

Bottom line being you won't get anything of value out of such a conversation. I know I don't.
I cannot comment on women issues, but for men, unless you are a pro racer, buy a brooks saddle. After break-in I never had issues and it was like riding on a cloud. I expect the same would be true for women too.

Also for break-in, follow brooks recommendations closely, not all the crazy suggestions on the WEB. After a season of riding almost every day, you will be sitting on a cloud. You do not want a soft saddle, but one that forms to your butt. I have been using the same saddle for well over 20 years, no issues plus it has lasted longer than any other saddle I have ever owned.

I never liked the saddles with the hole in them and I cannot help but wonder if the article is really an advertisement.

To me, if you are having this issue, see a qualified sports doctor first.
I prefer AuthN and AuthZ.

I don't think sharing a prefix/root implies that they're the same thing.

Also, I don't think the suggested "permissions" and "login" terminology would work for all AuthN/Z schemes. For example, when exactly do you "login" when calling an API with a bearer token? Doesn't work for me.
I can see this thread rabbit-holing into logmon terminology :]
For some reason, with both words, I have to stop and think about what the "other auth- word" is so I can be sure I'm thinking of this "auth word" correctly.

1. Sees <authentication>
1a. "That's who I am, but to be sure..."
2. "Ehh... the other one is... <authorization>..."
3. "<authorization> is what I'm allowed to do so..."
4. "...yes, this one is who i am"

Seriously, every time. I probably worried I'd remembered it backwards at one point early in my career and have never shaken the habit of double-checking myself on it.

I reach first for Mac's built-in "say" program. Its not perfect, but good enough for most use cases. Free, simple, CLI driven. Potentially more private than a cloud service, and works when have 0 connectivity.
Good school district doesn't just mean tolerable neighbors, it also means wealthy neighbors (for more collected school taxes).
It's discussed in this very article, in fact.
I need to make sure that SerenityOS project owner Andreas Kling’s channel is mentioned: https://youtube.com/@awesomekling

He hasn’t been uploading much recently but the backlog is full of OS development, applications ported to his OS and his most recent mission, building a web browser from scratch.
Hey, I wish electrons were assigned a positive charge and protons a negative one. Way back when. But oh well now.
Balls and shafts stick out more than labia, so in this situation, it's entirely fair to suspect that the remedies for male cycling problems are of (even more) benefit to women. You know, like split saddles that don't poke at the crotch region, but support the "sit bones". Which are unlike the garbage saddles that come most cheap, bicycle-shaped objects.
This is also true of tech companies. Witness how the "GenAI" hammer is being used right now at MS, Google, Meta, etc.
There are "causes," and "effects."

A lot of "effects" are actually expressions of coping mechanisms. Things like drug use, spousal abuse, excessive sexual promiscuity, hoarding, having three hundred cats, etc., are, quite possibly, self-prescribed ways to deal with the pain created by inner "causes."

Very often, these coping mechanisms cause more problems, that also need to be coped/fixed.

Say we steal a hat.

We're a "thief." Simple, straightforward, and solves society's problem.

But why did we steal the hat?

Did we steal it to keep the sun off our head? That means we wanted it for personal security.

Did we steal it because it's a cool hat, with a cool logo, and will impress our companions? That means we stole it to improve our social standing.

Did we steal it, because we think that it will impress $MEMBER_OF_SEX_WE_LIKE? That means we stole it, because we wanted to have more sex.

We could also have stolen it, because we are compulsive thieves, and just had to steal it; for no other reason, than we could. Stealing the hat was a coping mechanism for the inner pain, created by not stealing it.

The first three causes are motivations, and aren't necessarily any indication of a particular psychiatric disorder (but there's still stuff needs to be dealt with). There's a pretty good chance that consequences can be factored into the decision to steal, mitigating the problem.

The last one, though, is straight from the DSM, and jail isn't really going to do anything to solve the problem. It will still be there, when we get out. Same goes for many people that are lifelong predators/offenders.

I'm a big believer in addressing root causes, and not just playing Whack-A-Mole with effects. This applies for finding and fixing software bugs, as well as my own pathologies. I like to fix the bug at its deepest level. When I was younger, I tended to apply the fix at the shallowest possible point.

That means that I need to be excruciatingly self-honest. We look at diagnoses of mental illness or personal pathology as "investments," and tend to deliberately deny any data that may indicate that our diagnosis is wrong, or incomplete. Basic human nature. I have close family with extremely serious mental illness, and have been watching this play out, with highly educated therapists.

Reality really doesn't give a crap about what we think. It just is. There's no "moral" component. There's no need for accolades or approval. There's no money to be made.

It. Just. Is., no matter what we do to bend it into our own worldview.

If we're good with the shallow fix (and, in many cases, that's fine), then we can go for the easy fix, and we don't need to disturb our carefully-cultivated theories.

If we really want to understand the cause, though, and apply the fix at a deep level that will ensure a robust and lasting solution, we need to be absolutely brutal about cleaning house, inventorying our own points of view, and avoiding sacred cows and third rails[0].

Where are the religious people admitting they were wrong? I was told god’s will existed, but here we see it doesn’t? Care to explain/apolgize? This is free speech.
Self diagnosis seems completely natural when mental health care is unavailable because of a shortage of providers, or expense. What else are people going to do?
Yes. But most of the cost of the ticket will be operating expenses for the train and associated service. The cost of building under a body of water, which is large, does not make most of the ticket price difference.
When docs are prescribing to patients, they are mentally traversing through a decision tree to prescribe the best that fits the conditions. If the problem still persists, they may ask_questions/test more to find more branches to traverse.

For individuals, it's like being a node, where you cannot see anything above. It feels that what works for you, should work for all.
Show HN: SvelteShip, A SvelteKit Boilerplate for your next App
Hey,

I built svelteship after long hours trying to find the right tech stack and integrations for my apps. I created it for myself and others with documentation so whenever an idea comes to mind you can get started quickly. It is a batteries-included boilerplate so you can focus on your apps.
Any feedback is welcome!
