You didn't get the gist of the article: many constraints are artificial or plain mental. And you have to think outside the worn trousers to determine where that is the case.
This is absolutely true. Even advanced loop syntax implies nesting; but control flow in general is not hierarchical. Simple loop syntax in C is even more limited, because it uses a fixed place for the loop condition test: either at the start or at the end of the body. As a result if we need to do something, then test the condition, then do something extra, we are stuck. For example, we may want to print a list of stings separated with commas:

void printManyStrsWithCommas(char *s[], int n /* trusted to be positive */)
{
int i = 0;

a: printOneStr(s[i]);
++i;
if (i < n) {
printOneStr(", ");
goto a;
}
}

Here the loop condition is 'i < n', but when it is true, we need to do one more thing (print a comma) before resuming the loop. If we are to stick with non-'goto' syntax we have the following options:

- Somehow cram it into the loop expression with the comma operator. This is very limited because it is an expression. For example, what if 'printOneString' can err?

- Somehow use 'while(1)' with 'break'. It may even compile to the same code as with 'goto'. But why, then, we have to use an unbounded loop syntax with a clearly bounded sequence?

- Somehow add additional variables and tests and either lose efficiency or trust the compiler to lead us out.

With 'goto' the code does only what is necessary. What 'goto' does not do is that it does not immediately convey a clear idea that the code repeats certain steps.
Yeah, just like "I'm a prince who needs your help to move money" scams are riddled with poor grammar, it's easier to keep it dumb, to attract the unsuspecting.

But on the flip-side, if there's an expert on the flight, they'd notice it's a spoof site and chances are higher they'll report it to the crew. I can imagine the trick is to show a page that says "For free WiFi, follow our Instagram account, click here for our account", and the click will fail because there's no connection (if we're on the plane), but the click can trigger some Javascript to say "If you couldn't follow our Instagram, login using your Google/Amazon account: Username: ____ Password: ____". Or a more sophisticated trick would be to show a DIV that looks like Instagram and the "follow" button, which will then show the fake login...

The privacy-wary IT expert will look at the "Follow our Instagram" and think "Fuck off, I'm not doing that!" and might miss the spoofed login prompt...

"margins..." and market buying behavior.

Trucks are indeed comically large, partly due to buyers, partly margins and partly US emission laws.

If it's of little harm to the rhinos then it's rather clever.
Doctors also refused to believe the germ theory of disease because it would imply they were all incompetent before then. Lots and lots of people died from infections transmitted by unwashed hands.
There are relatively few cities (of which Manhattan is probably one) where, if I lived in the city, I wouldn't own a car but--yes--I might park somewhere on the periphery where it was cheaper and not use it day-to-day. I know very few people who aren't maybe just out of school who don't own cars even if they live in a city.

It is easier to get by with things like Zipcar and Uber but I'd still probably find it had value so I wasn't structuring things around not having a car.
The current truck market in the USA is a good example of how the "free market" works first and foremost to maximize profit --- not to the benefit and often to the detriment of consumers.

The monstrosities currently being sold are completely divorced from the purpose a "truck" used to serve. These mini trucks are the response.
While new trucks are comically oversized, the Kei sized trucks being imported are indeed death machines if you were to get into an accident. I don't think the US should care unless they want to get rid of that import loop hole law.
'A good knife is not only about the steel'
There are tax advantages as I understand it if the truck is over a certain weight. This skews preferences towards a larger truck, since small trucks don't weigh enough.

This isn't easily discoverable from the landing page -- I think the site could benefit from an "examples" sections. Given the focus on customizability, it'd be good to get a sense of what's possible, rather than diving straight into Get Started, before I've decided that I want to use the tool.
Any recommended learning resources?
Yeah, I'm Danish but grew up in Norway, it's almost interchangeable. A few harder sounds in Norwegian, so change a few g's to k's etc. And Danish for some reason just litters commas randomly in a sentence, so just remove half of them randomly. And then remember the different meaning of "må" (NO=must, DK=may) when writing your manual, and you're good to go!

People are fed up, but the price floor for trucks are high due to US federal safety standards. These Kei trucks do not meet these standards, so manufacturers can sell them at a low price with decent margins.

Copyright should die. It was already standing on just one foot since internet made mass copying trivial. File sharing has been going on for decades. Now they want to extend copyright to restrict AI which doesn't even replicate the source text, and instead aims to answer a user question by combining information across multiple sources.

We have seen other models that don't rely on protection flourish - Wikipedia, open source, scientific publications, open weights models, and even fashion. They all are permissive, and thriving.

I'm really happy Poland went with the US layout (with right Alt "abuse"). Makes it very easy when buying computer equipment.
For anyone interested in these trucks I came across this site, carfromjapan.com[0], that manage the logistics of acquire one. And some of the listed Kei trucks are crazy cheap compared to their full-size American competition.

When I was a teen Japanese cars were all the rage and I managed to acquire a SR20DET for my Nissan 240SX. A completely impractical car for a broke college student. I would love to have one of these trucks to wrench on but I'm citified now and finding parking is already expensive.

Both of these examples are examples of an under-programmed core though. Lua is notorious for lacking batteries, so everyone has to reinvent their own. There’s literally no serious Lua program without some sort of classes, but they still resist adding them into lauxlib.

I used the Finnish layout almost exclusively for 20+ years, and I didn't find it particularly inconvenient. I needed äö at least as often as ()[]{}/|\$@, and no alternate layout was clearly better than the default.

If there was a dedicated Finnish layout (instead of a shared Finnish/Swedish one), it could be a bit better by using the å key for something more common. But apart from that, I haven't seen any suggestions that would make the layout better.

> Calling out long duration storage is another red flag. How much of that is needed? In giga watt hours please. Nobody ever bothers to qualify that.

That includes you. (No numbers just assumptions that all will be fine)

Worth noting that there is no “required” amount of kWh of storage, people can get used to blackouts and/or real time prices spikes and/or adjust habits (reduce usage).

Just to have some numbers:

1kWh of battery costs 139$

US uses 11,267 kWh/year/capita
of electricity alone. Thats 30 kWh per day.
So 1 day electricity storage costs 4000$/capita of investment.

Total energy consumption in US is 295 million BTU/capita/year, which is 236 kWh/capita/day.

To cover for one day of all energy, US needs 32000$/capita/person investment.

In current setting, Oil/Uranium/wood act as a kind of battery, and we are very used to having large “batteries”. (Some people prepare wood for couple of winters ahead)

I'm sorry but if I give you a measuring tape that goes to 2 decimal places and you measure a piece of wood at 7.23 cm, when you get a more precise tape you have no information at all about what the third decimal place will turn out to be. It could be anywhere between 7.225 and 7.235, there is no expectation that it should be nearer to the centre. All true lengths between those two points will return you the same 7.23 measurement and none are more likely than any other given what you know.
That's too cynical. In reality, you're going to die with a number of completely benign issues. The more issues you find and try to interfere, the more likely you are to have a negative impact. And that's before running into issues with testing failures from a large number of tests. We not only can't find all issues, we can find more other issues than are ever going to be an actual problem.

But it's not really a money issue (not in a lot of cases anyway) - where it leads to better outcomes, doctors do aim for overdiagnosing to a certain % to cover cases which would be otherwise missed.

I was specifically talking about the pricing between DynamoDB and Aurora running the PostgreSQL engine. If DynamoDB satisfies your needs, then you should run it - because it is a lot cheaper! But, it's not an RDBMS. Sometimes you really do need an RDBMS. Like I said, starting off with DnyamoDB and migrating to PostgreSQL is simple - and your clients aren't affected so long as they were never directly accessing the data store. That was my point. Architecture is what allows you to make these kinds of changes to your system without impacting every other component comprising the system.

Generally-speaking, API based systems and interactions between components in the system, are very scalable. AWS facilitates the creation of such a system. Utilizing their serverless components essentially forces you to utilize best practices when building your system - which can be a benefit to teams, especially readl-world teams struggling with a bit of dysfunction.

We've had scam industries like this for ages... If you're old enough there's Time shares, Amway, numerous companies that have sold fake health supplements etc... It hasn't resolves anything beyond money and work being extracted from people with no reward. Valid business, like taxi cabs, are destroyed by Uber and door dash, and the people that work for these services get ripped off. Many of these businesses are purely exploitative.

Even Dominos is using 3rd party delivery services now, instead of hiring drivers, it has made their prices skyrocket on top of already ridiculous inflation. It even prices people out of being able to afford pretty much D-class pizza. Even if the model melts down, the original (more valuable) business model may be so decimated that it won't be able to be brought back.

Our world is suffering from trust funders with bad and amateur business ideas, all trying to become market-cornering monopolies, it's long overdue to encourage them to find better and less destructive idea builders and better ideas by others to fund instead of launching poorly though out and highly exploitative profit schemes.
I made something like this in HS out of coffee cans with the bottoms cut out in half moon shapes. Then I duct taped them all together and would put rubbing alcohol in the top, shake it up and let it evaporate, and ignite from a nail hole in the bottom can. I could launch Gatorade bottles filled with water about 100 yards. It blew up once and I never bothered to put it back together. Plus my mom was hysterical.
I wonder what radioisotopes they’re using. I assume it’s a gamma emitter because alpha and beta would be readily absorbed by the horn and any packaging material?
Hydrogen is the least proven one. It looks good on paper but there's remarkably little green electrolysis being done and most of it is going to industrial use to replace "brown" H2. Storing H2 at the same scale as existing natural gas storage is tricky because it diffuses much more.

When I lived in NYC many years ago I'd be walking, biking, driving, at a park, dining in an outdoor cafe, in my living room, etc and perpetually surrounded by the noise, smell, and inconvenience of gridlocked traffic and road construction. I eventually tuned it out, but every time I left and came back it drove home how ridiculous it was.

I eventually moved to New England because it became clear that despite the city having good bones, the leadership (and many voters) were more interested in coming up with ways to make it convenient for drivers to drive and/or park in every neighborhood in the city than making it a pleasant place to live. The ghost of Robert Moses influences everything there.

So I was floored when it seemed like such an incompetently managed city as NYC was actually going to implement the obviously correct solution of charging money to allocate a scarce resource. What was less surprising was the fact that it was derailed by a state politician but only at the last minute and after hundreds of millions had already been spent.

Show HN: GizAI – AI Generators and Notes and Drive
Hey folks! So, we're just a tiny team of 4 developers who've been coding our hearts out for the past 2 years. Last May, we took the plunge and clicked our way through Stripe Atlas to officially become Giz Inc. (Yeah, we're as surprised as you are.)

* We've been working on this thing called GizAI... We opened the beta today.

- It's kinda like a Swiss Army knife for your digital life, but with AI. Nothing too fancy, just trying to make life a bit easier, you know?

- We threw in some AI chat stuff (GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude 3.5 the usual suspects), and it can generate images, videos, and audio. Might save you a few clicks here and there.

- There's a notes feature with AI help (for when your brain decides to take a coffee break), and a file organizer that tries to be smarter than your desktop mess.

* Features include (or at least, what we think they do):
- Notes : AI collaborative notes for questions, summaries, edits, and rich media.

- Drive : Enhanced file management with version control, search, and sharing.

- AI Chat : Chatbot with model selection, contextual searches, and media creation.

- AI Story Generator : Create multimedia stories with custom images, videos, and audio.

- AI Instant Magazine : Instantly create personalized news magazines with curated content.

- AI Image Generator : Generate and modify images with advanced AI models.

- AI Headshot Generator : Transform a single photo into creative images and videos in 9s.

- AI Video Generator : Generated in 5s with advanced features like face integration.

- AI Games : Create interactive fiction games with multimedia storytelling.

- AI Characters : Generate lifelike virtual characters with customizable features.

- AI Audio Generator : Convert text to speech, clone voices, and generate music.

- Transcription : Fast, accurate transcription of audio files with speaker separation.

- Summarizer : Organized summaries of videos, PDFs, web pages, and news articles.

* Beta Tester Stuff:
Visit the http://www.giz.ai to learn more and click Join the beta to sign up for the beta. (sorry, it's not perfect).
- Free Silver Plan for a month. It's usually $18, but who's counting?

- Give us feedback, maybe get more free months. We're not above bribery.

* Beta runs July 1-31, 2024. Might end early if too many people show up (or if we panic).

* Why bother?
It's all in one place. Saves you from app-hopping like a digital kangaroo.
Works in your browser. No app downloads, because who needs more of those?
Voice input, text-to-speech, multi-language support. We're trying to be inclusive here.
