> as someone from California

IM going to guess that CA, Hacker news resident has you leaning left and affluent. Maybe even a (fellow) Bay Area resident.

Lets look a the bay. The tech boom. The bay is covered from Marin to San Jose with money. Tech, Film (Skywalker, Pixar), Wine.

That's the gentrified, affluent, peak Bay Area... Outside this one window the Bay Area has a long storied history of being grimy and hard.

WWI and WWII ... Spanish flu, a public safety officer shot a man for not wearing a mask. WWII had the Bay Area as a pretty bawdy town. It stayed that way, one of the OG strip joins was (is?) in the Bay Area. Look at the 50's and 60's Hells Angels, Black Panthers (the armed edition), Patty Hearst and the Symbionese Liberation Army, The Altimont Speed Way murder (concert). Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple. Bill Graham has a venue named after him, but the murder around him getting his start is suspect... You get some "fun" fringe thinkers. The Grateful Dead (you don't have to like them) became a roving acid distribution system every summer (wall of sound, Owlsy acid). Burning man is latter day hippies (more gen X than anything else) who wanted to carry on that spirt and optimism. Neither of these groups are "bad" but they aren't the current afluent Bay Area set for sure.

All of this is to say that one should not be surprised when "bipping" is a very Bay Area thing to have happen to you, when you see the current "crime" in the Bay Area. You have affluence next to the people who are down trodden, defeated or simply who do not care, who are acting out against the system!

In china all the things that happen in the bay would get squashed. Lying Flat (doing the bare minimum) is their version of rebellion. Their 996 set is our tech scene (was, that's shifted somewhat now). The labels, the reactions, are different, are local... but the motivations and the underlying causes are NOT... Those who have a path and those who do not and the gulf between.
Edmund Husserl truly is the father of phenomenology. He's been somewhat overshadowed by Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, which is a shame.

For anyone interested in studying phenomenology, and specifically the philosophy of Husserl, I'd kindly recommend his works "Logical Investigations" and "Ideas".
Author here. I don’t think ASCII is the right comparison. True, it would be really hard for anything to compete with Git because a lot of infrastructures we have are already deeply integrated with Git. But think about x86 vs. ARM and how AI might change our ways of producing code.

"The tinkerer in me likes the idea of being capable of constructing an information receiving device in an almost "survivalist" manner..."

I agree. I'm concerned the more advanced broadcast technology is the easier it is to control and or shut down.

A broadcast service can be shut down for various reasons, political, economic,etc. or because of some unforeseen disaster, natural or human-made. Whatever the reason the population is then cut off from news and information. The simpler the technology the easier it is to restart or resurrect.

Whilst Europe has largely dispensed with AM radio, we're seeing this debate playing out in the US over AM radio in cars. And now we're seeing this with FM, and Switzerland isn't the first.

Let's look at this holistically for a moment. AM radio is easy to establish and it works well—witness both local and shortwave services in the 20th Century. An AM receiver can be as simple as a tuned circuit and diode (a crystal set). FM is a little more complex but mono FM is nevertheless very easy to get going. Similarly, an FM receiver can be as simple as a single valve or transistor circuit configured as a superregenerative† detector (I've used one to listen to FM over a 100 miles from the transmitter, they can be extraordinarily sensitive given their simplicity).

This simplicity and ease of establishment just isn't possible with DAB. DAB requires advanced electronics, ICs etc. that cannot be improvised without high tech production.

It seems to me these debates over the closure of AM and FM services are being conducted without the public's interest and national security in mind.

> with long haul trucks

Ironically, this is clearly not a long haul truck, it's a cab over, and the sleeper space is taken by hydrogen storage. This also gives it an unusually long wheel base which is not what you'd typically want in a truck constrained to local operations.

> will not work on semi trucks due to weight issues.

Two areas where you might make inroads are in the Auxiliary Power Unit. Truck stops could cover parking areas with high mast solar panels, providing shade to the trucks and the pavement, and capturing power in batteries nearby or directly underground. If the APU was electric and had a battery, it could be recharged there, and the truck could get "shore power" from the stop instead of burning diesel all night.

The other would be "reefer" trucks, which usually have a small diesel motor, with a separate tank, which runs the compressor to keep the trailer cool. There might be some trade off in replacing that with a battery driven system, again, if it could be conveniently recharged often enough to prevent service outages.

Yeah instead of raising the minimum wage, capping CEO profit and benefits, taxing the rich more, let the peasants "earn" their bread.

> Not that I support the idea of drafting civilian populations as soldiers in general: it's mostly a way to get innocent people killed and not much more.

Not if you train them before sending them to the front. Check Ukraine, they would have been defeated without the massive influx of conscripts due to the massive Russian influx of poorly trained conscripts.

You can get pretty far by using importmaps, you would not have treeshaking or a single bundled file, but it works pretty well. JSDoc can be used to add types to your project (that can be typechecked using typescript). I'm currently building a hobby project using preact, htm and jspm for packages. It's pretty nice to just start building without starting a build tool, having to wait for it to finish, make sure it's not crashed etc. But indeed, I won't use this for production.

The only thing I'm still missing is an offline JSPM/esm.sh.
The proper US answer shouldn't be federal centralisation, but centralsation per state. That should avoid to worst centralisation issues and have clear benefits. And it clearly works in other countries that are smaller or bigger than individual states: it works in New Zealand (similar to Oregon) and Australia (about 30 million people, though I don't know if their registry is federally centralised) for example.
Clearly Rust is catching on as a more approachable, safe and performant C/C++.

I personally also think about it as a more-likely-to-make-it-to-production Haskell, with how robust the type system, tooling, and other things are (not to rag on Haskell -- it's a fantastic language and there's lots of overlap in the communities).
Code reviews don’t just find bugs, they prevent them from being introduced in the first place.

Developers are more careful about what they write and submit when they know they’ll have someone else looking at it.

We went through a couple iterations of our code review policy on a multi-year project a while back. We never really saw code reviews catch a substantial number of bugs over time, but whenever we pulled back on code reviews we definitely saw the production error rate go up.
Talk to people and be curious why they don't value code reviews.

FWIW, my experience with JSLT https://github.com/schibsted/jslt/ was that I first wrote an AST interpreter. Then I and another person independently wrote bytecode interpreters, but the AST interpreter remains faster than both.

It may be that the JVM is simply better at optimizing one type of code than the other.

I really like this idea! It's not like I need to check how any individual developer approaches their work (although that could become a useful mentoring session in some cases) but what matters is what it looks like before going into production.

The main difficulty I see with the described approach is that different changes will be interleaved in the trunk and it might be hard to extract just one of them to deploy. But that's what feature flags are for!
This is quite good advice, I feel the “we have to do this anyway” line is more like… “so we might as well make it easy for ourselves”… eg write code that works, you self tested it through tests and manual if needed, so the reviewer doesn’t have to get bogged down in actually running it (start by adding screenshots for this but graduate to not needing them). Keep PRs as small as possible, aka multiple PRs streaming after each other for a single feature card, get the PRs in as soon as valuable and don’t block for nitpics but the shared expectation you start to agree on things that are better and they happen with the next changes.

The general mantra being that “if it works then it shouldn’t be blocked” and developer can choose to improve the maintainability there and then or delay it to next or later PRs at their discretion. After all you trust each other.
Jony Ive's obsession didn't come out of thin air, it came from Jobs, who even wanted to remove the SIM card slot on the first iPhone and it took a commission of people with data to convince him it's a bad idea back then.
Hydrogen (HFCEV) is electric. Electricity is produced directly from the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is not combusted, although that [1] is an alternative.

I'm hoping for a future with hybrid hydrogen fuel cell and battery EVs. The battery could be small because you'd have hydrogen as an option for longer trips, and it would still be all-electric.

Serialisation often needs additional information not present in the struct definition: for enabling backwards-compatibility and default values.

Same for command line parameters. We want documentation strings, maybe dashes in the name etc.

But that can surely be solved with a little more advanced struct

>> A better analogy might be airplane fuel and car fuel. Both are gasoline, but a different kind and not really repleacable

Well, if we're gonna get technical...

There are 2 kinds of airplane fuel. AvGas (which is basically gasoline with a high octane) and JetA1 (which is basically paraffin.)

I'm not sure JetA1 falls under the term 'gasoline' but obviously ymmv there. You can use AvGas in a car, it's the same stuff. AvGas has more kick (more octane) so its not necessarily great for the engine. I worked on an airfield a long time ago, and on occasion AvGas was used on cars (blended with normal gas it's not too bad.)

Avgas is used on piston engined planes, JetA1 on jets and turbo-props. JetA1 is just good quality paraffin so can be used wherever paraffin is used.

I live in big historocal city in Czechia. Trees are rare here. Those few trees have trimmed crowns regularly, every spring they left only trunk with some shot cuted branches. It looks terrible and makes trees weaker.

Arguments are that trees are dangerous and could fall on property or peopel walking under and that it not fits in historical concept of city.

It is impossible to stay on main square during summer and overall aesthetic of treeless streets is sad. It's actually biggest downside of my city.

Every time I visit Germany or Austria, I envy those green cities.

Thanks for the guidance. To try and clarify, I was not saying that hm is turning into reddit. Rather I was saying the opposite, that I value hn for its distinct non-redditness and that I would love it if there were features that optimized that difference. I say that in a thread with many comments that do not imo follow the spirit of the guidelines you posted, which is not to say they were posted by redditors -- saying that would itself violate the guidelines, but many of the comments are probably by people who post a lot on some other forum besides hn. I only post here, and again prefer the here-ness of this place over those other places.

Show HN: I made Wingmann to automate smart budgeting
Hey Hacker News,

I'm excited (and a bit nervous) to introduce my first-ever SaaS product: Wingmann.

I recently started earning some money as an intern 6 months ago, and it's been a struggle to keep track of my income and expenses. I tried numerous apps, but they were either too complicated, had features I didn't need, or had a paywall for essential features. Many had clunky UIs or too much friction to make quick entries.

Late one night, while doom scrolling, I stumbled upon the 50/30/20 budgeting rule. It was a lightbulb moment for me. This simple split was exactly what I needed, but none of the apps I found natively supported this method. I tried to set it up in Notion but failed miserably after 4 hours.

As a full-stack developer, I decided to build the tool I needed myself. I set a challenge to complete it in just 2 days because I couldn't afford to spend months on it and I had already wasted 6 months not tracking my expenses. Those were the most intense two days of my life, with no sleep and just coding.

So, here it is: Wingmann.
Features:
Expense & Income Entry: Log your expenses and income in just a couple of clicks.
Automatic Budgeting: Uses the 50/30/20 rule to automatically categorize your income into Essentials, Fun, and Future.
Summaries & Insights: Get clear visual summaries of your spending habits to make informed financial decisions.

I built Wingmann to be the simplest AF budgeting tool out there. No unnecessary features, no paywalls for the essentials, just straightforward budgeting and expense tracking.

I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think. Your feedback would be incredibly valuable to me as an indie maker on this journey.

Thank you!
