But then said community will overthrow the HOA, so, again, no reason to leave. The earlier suggestion of leaving was based on a situation where you don't find the community you need. Escaping the social ties was the sole reason for leaving. Why would escaping a community that you don't fit into be the same limiting factor that keeps you there? That doesn't make any sense.
Sure, but the point is that it's not their intelligence that's valued. You'd often praise a great professor by saying they're very smart, but very rarely a great cook.
On most cars you simply fill till it starts leaking out of the fill hole - like changing oil, it normally doesn't require a precision fill, just close enough.

1. The drain hole is below the fill hole - open drain hole and empty using good old fashioned gravity.

2. Close drain hole.

3. Open fill hole.

4. Fill till it starts leaking out the fill hole.

5. Close the fill hole.

Not especially complex most of the time! Transmission fluid does not really shrink much over time, its a sealed system and it doesn't burn off the way engine oil can. Just doing it at regular intervals like 50k miles is absolutely fine on a lot of cars. If you really do care about hitting some specific quantity of fluid - you know exactly how much you are pouring into the fill hole, you can even measure exactly what came out the drain hole, but this probably is not remotely necessary.

As someone that doesn't own, but rents cars for errands, the Car Thing made perfect sense. Instead of spending several minutes trying to find a good station or pair my phone, which wasn't always an option, I could pop that in a vent and start jamming.
> What routes are people routinely driving

You are assuming that people like stopping to charge and waiting 45 minutes at a supercharger station (currently the best possible situation with a Tesla)

It's not terrible, but it is currently the only option. Consider how much more money the long range Teslas cost compared with the base model. This is because extra range is very very nice to have and ads a LOT of value
I like what Framework is doing but I think you're overestimating its likely impact on e-waste. If more devices were made this way it would realize some savings but there'd still be a lot of churn because stuff goes obsolete.

The biggest source of gratuitous pointless e-waste isn't laptops anyway. It's pointless "IoT" devices and random gimmicky e-bullshit like that ridiculous "AI pin" that made the rounds.

I don't think what laptop you buy has any effect on climate change. Replacing coal is like 40% of that problem, then as much oil as we can, then gas, in that order, and everything else is a rounding error. Your Framework modules don't help if they're manufactured with coal power and shipped with the same bunker diesel that ships Apple products over here.
That just means the US and EU are in collective isolationism. Will they force third party countries into this agreement to spend more on EU/US cars over Chinese ones?

Haha, this happens so infrequently I don't even kno how to reply - I agree with everything you've said and felt exactly the same about distant lands. I thought it was brilliantly done - still AT but not near enough to the story that I don't want changed, even retroactively. They didn't - instead nailed the nostalgia and all the feels

The finale theme song is the one I was meaning earlier, I'll get emotional if I think about it too much. It was all just so well done. That episode demonstrated how far we had come - we all grew up with Finn, he made it. That's the end.

I could write a book about how I feel about this show.

I remember Adam Muto being someone I thought was more heavily involved in the direction of the later seasons than Pendleton - he also leads the Distant Lands project I think.

Brilliant team of people tho - fantastic show!

> For the first three years of ownership you were stuck with the touchscreen.

Tap end of left stick and hit setting on bottom left of screen (in US) with peripheral vision or a tiny fraction of a second of a glance.

I mean, none of this required navigating menus or staring at a complex/busy screen unless someone was trying to be obtuse. If this tiny fraction of a second is actually an issue for anyone, then I think that either: 1) they have other issues (e.g., irrational levels of control expected), or 2) they’re just a really bad driver, or 3) they didn’t rtfm on their car with a unique design.

As a simple example, one will trivially look at the controls of a rental car or a friend’s or family member’s waaaaaay more than the wiper controls on a Tesla, yet no one that I am aware of is writing about those on HN or other mainstream social media.

The Tesla system is new and different, and so people just seem to like to bitch about new stuff, especially when it involves Tesla.

Part of the reason why LLM summaries are so attractive IS a UI problem. The economics of the web has led to every publisher stuffing their websites with ads. No one wants that. Its much nicer to see a clean paragraph of text.

But we clearly have an ouroboros situation. If publishers lose views, they lose money and the ability to craft good information. Less new info to incorporate into LLMs.

LLM training over the internet corpus has really been a massive heist. Pulling a wool over publishers' heads, undercutting their business, hoarding the information.

But it's really unavoidable at this point. Everything has been democratized: compute on cloud platforms, data via Common Crawl, OSS algorithms and tool-kits. No one can put a stop to this, and there's powerful economic incentives to actually get some benefit out of the hundreds of billions that have been poured in already.

You are probably the worst person to ask about this topic because you are used to a poorly performing distro. You already learned all the terminal commands to fix things. You already know all the stuff you need to upgrade.

Most people havent been using linux for decades, and Fedora takes care of things you 'deal with'.

Same with the witch trials here in Airstrip One a few hundred years ago.

The Sketch from "The Holy Grail" by monty python

Peasant 1: A witch! We have found a witch! Can we burn her?

Belvedere: How do you know that she is a witch?

Peasant 2: Because she looks like one!

Witch: I am not a witch! I am not a witch! They dressed me up like this, and this is not my nose it is a false one!

[Belvedere pulls off the false nose and opens his helmet]

Peasant 1: Well, we did do the nose, and the hat.

Peasant 2: She has a wart.

Belvedere: Why do you think that she is a witch?

Peasant 2: Well, she turned me into a newt.

[Belvedere gives him a disbelieving look]

Belvedere: A newt?

[Silence]

Peasant 2: Well I got better.

Peasant 3: Burn her anyway.

[Yells of "Burn her!"]

Belvedere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch. Tell me, what do you do with witches?

Peasants: Burn them!

Belvedere: Now, what do burn besides witches?

Peasant 3: More witches! [receives a punch from Peasant 1; silence]

Peasant 2: Wood?

Belvedere: So, why do witches burn? [more silence]

Peasant 2: Because there made of wood?

Belvedere: So, how do you tell if she is made of wood?

Peasant 3: Build a bridge out of her!

Belvedere: Ah, but cant you also build bridges out of stone?

Peasant 3: Oh, right.

Belvedere: Tell me, does wood sink?

Peasant 1: No, it floats.

Belvedere: What also floats in water?

[lots of yelling and many wrong and random answers including very small rocks]

King Arthur: A duck!

Belvedere: Exactly!

Peasant 2: So if she weighs as much as a duck she is made of wood.

Belvedere: And therefore?

Peasants: A witch!

Belvedere: We shall use my largest scales.

[Having been revealed to weigh the same as a duck, therefore proving her a witch, the crowd goes insane]

Witch: It's a fair cop.

> CSS is a very inefficient way to represent styling logic which is why web devs write dialects like sass that are more compact, but browsers don't adopt it.

I don't know exactly which features you are referring to, but you may have noticed that CSS has adopted native nesting, very similarly to Sass, but few sites actually use it. Functions and mixins are similar compactness/convenience topics being worked on by the CSSWG.

(Disclosure: I work on style in a browser team)

But what world is that? The one where we magically achieve the energy abundance necessary to support EVs?

I applied for a ticket refund for a heavily delayed train in the UK. A month after I applied they agreed and said they would deposit the money into my PayPal account. Three months later I remembered to check, and they hadn't. When I contacted them they were all "lol, whoops, how did that happen?". And finally paid me. Big companies really do take the piss.
> and let them board an airplane to a destination of their own choosing". As in the police would be there to make sure they don't "abscond"

Maybe being overly pedantic, but "destination of their own choosing" won't work. Airlines will refuse to board, because they're generally responsible for the costs of flying that person back if they're refused entry at the destination (if their due diligence wasn't done re passport/visa, rather than an immigration official's decision).
Not that China nor US should be controlled to their detriment, or uncontrollable to the detriment of others. But as a global south citizen, it is interesting to see the US really panic for the first time in my life with the rise of China. I hope they would rise up to the challenge and that the situation will not become violent.
I recently reread the first few chapters of The Castle and was surprised find such a different novel than what I remembered as a teenager: it was funny.

My German is better now than when I first attempted the novel, but when I was younger I took everything so much more earnestly that I was immune to the humor. I think it was mainly that I regarded irony as a complaint, rather than a punch line.

And also ever since the 3G shutdown in the UK phones often fall back to GPRS and EDGE connections (2G), as 2G is not scheduled to shut down in the UK until 2033. I know several apps that are too slow to work in such conditions, as they are developed by people who use the latest 5G links in urban locations instead of testing it in rural and suburban areas with large amounts of trees.
Complicated for who? I've little pity for developers and kernels ease of life as a user.
I've been gone too long for accurate answers, but I can guess.

For iPad, I think it's like the sibling notes; expected use is very low, so it didm't justify the engineering cost while I was there. But I see some signs it might happen eventually [1]; WhatsApp for Android Tablets wasn't a thing when I was there either, but it is now.

For the four device limit, there's a few things going on IMHO. Synchronization is hard and the more devices are playing, the harder it is. Independent devices makes it easier in some ways because the user devices don't have to be online together to communicate (like when whatsapp web was essentially a remote control for your phone), but it does mean that all of your communications partner's devices have to work harder and the servers have to work harder, too.

Four deviced covers your phone, a desktop at home and work, and a laptop; but really most of the users only have a phone. Allowing more devices makes it more likely that you'll lose track of one or not use it for long enough that it's lost sync, etc.

WhatsApp has usually focused on product features that benefit the most users, and more than 4 devices isn't going to benefit many people, and 4 is plenty for internal use (phone, prod build, dev build, home computer). I'm sure they've got metrics of how many devices are used, and if there's a lot of 4 device users and enough requests, it's a #define somewhere.

> which is obviously weighed down by the libraries, but largely is as heavy or light as you make it

One thing which surprised me at a recent job was that even what I consider to be a large bundle size (2MB) didn't have much of an effect on page load time. I was going to look into bundle splitting (because that included things like a charting library that was only used in a small subsection of the app). But in the end I didn't bother because I got page loads fast (~600ms) without it.

What did make a huge different was cutting down the number of HTTP requests that the app made on load (and making sure that they weren't serialised). Our app was originally going auth by communicating with Firebase Auth directly from the client, and that was terrible for performance because that request was quite slow (most of second!) and blocked everything else. I created an all-in-one auth endpoint that would check the user's auth and send back initial user and app configuration data in one ~50ms request and suddenly the app was fast.
Discord has features similar to these forums with their threads, etc. Might be worthwhile to pose a feature request that allows these threads to be public and searchable (or at least crawl-able).

The chat logs, etc clearly would be a problem but these isolated areas could be prime candidates for a bridge of this gap.

I don't know if skills are actually being lost. Skilled kids were always an anomaly when it came to tech on a meaningful level.

You might even be able to argue there's greater skills than ever before as compute is so cheap and FOSS is so readily available.

I was 1 of maybe 3 nerds in a school of 2500 people, 20 years ago. Being smart wasn't deemed to be cool, computers weren't cool—doing well in class made you a "swot".

The people who do productive things with tech for their own enjoyment and curiosity has always been small relative to people who just "consume" as an end user.

What is being lost is electronics design skills, despite KiCAD et al being available. Also not much interest in FPGAs and DSP from younger demographics, but at least MiSTer got some younger folks into FPGAs, but unfortunately, prices went through the roof to even get a foot on the ladder.
