I am keeping an eye on the Ineos Fusilier (https://ineosgrenadier.com/en/gb/news/introducing-the-ineos-...) for something along those lines - it will have both a full EV and a range-extended hybrid powertrain

Maybe one day I will replace my Land Rover...
You're not even voicing an opinion. You're "just asking questions." Online hate speech isn't just words on a screen; it can seriously mess people up mentally and emotionally. That's why we've got laws like the Network Enforcement Act in Germany and the EU's Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech Online. These aren't for show – they're there because hate speech can lead to real-world violence and discrimination. If you're so curious, look up the studies on how online harassment affects mental health. But let's be real, you're probably not interested in facts, just in stirring up trouble. Well, I'm not biting. The laws are there, the research is there, and people's lived experiences are there. Deal with it.
the problem is that Firefox is also dying a new, true foundation focused on a freaking open browser should struggle it out of the current one.
Still entirely possible it’s from his perspective.
> Java has brought forth the biggest madness of tacking on OOP to everything

It was C++, if we are being historically accurate. It’s actually a positive in Java’s case that it managed to make these systems even run.

Kotlin is easily the best modern language for DX. After writing server-side Kotlin for the past three years, I'm not sure I ever want to write anything else.
Looks very tough considering how much complicated a modern browser is. There is Ladybird project but it's expected to be in Alpha stage by 2026.
And if they use Firefox, it's essentially kept viable by its primary corporate sponsor: Google.
Out of curiosity, are you a lawyer or is this comment missing the IANAL disclaimer that is customary when opining about legal matters?

At least some disclaimers aren't just noise—they add context that would otherwise be missing to help the reader navigate the subtext. The "this is not my work" portion of that disclaimer is highly relevant and useful information for interpreting the blog. The afformentioned IANAL disclaimer helps readers to understand whether your opinion has any stronger basis in law than their own.

I also strongly suspect that some disclaimers would have legal value in the event of someone misusing information being dispensed, but IANAL.
Are you implying there used to be honesty in marketing?
Well, java won’t have any overhead in many cases (e.g. only single implementation), as the JIT compiler will do its job.
Getting hired is a random process.

It is like asking what the good lottery numbers are to play right now at 51.

All that changes at 50+ is your physical condition matters more. If you look like you can run circles physically around the hiring manager you will get extra points. If you look like you might die of a heart attack next week that will obviously count against you.

I'm a Webkit (Safari) stan as well. I know it has it's own corporate drawbacks. But I think it's important to just not use Chromium regardless.
The unstated assumption in this is that it was important for the US to be the one to defeat Japan. It was not just about defeating Japan, it was also about the Soviet Union not defeating it first.

The US had been continously fire bombing Japan at the point the atomic bombs dropped. In the grand scheme of things the bombs were just very large blips in waves upon waves of destruction.

Japan would have been defeated without a US ground invasion and without the atomic bombs. But it would have been defeated by the Soviet Union, not the US.

There were three possible outcomes:

* an unconditional surrender to the Soviet Union, possibly following the death or arrest of the Emperor

* a conditional surrender to the US granting immunity to the Emperor

* an unconditional last-ditch surrender to the US to prevent a Soviet advance and further loss of territory

The atomic bombs played a very small part in this. As has been stated repeatedly in attempts to justify their use: the Japanese were "dedicated" to defend the mainland and the Emperor to the point of performing suicide attacks. The deaths from the atomic bombings meant very little relative to the civilian lives that had already been lost to the fire bombings before, after and throughout. But in consequence this meant that the integrity of the mainland territory and the life of the Emperor meant a lot - and this was threatened by the prospect of an invasion, not further atomic bombings.

The sad irony is that the demand of the surrender being unconditional was ultimately more about narrative-building and optics as the US effectively gave Japan what it wanted by leaving the Emperor untouched and not making any territorial changes. It's clear to see why the US demanded it but the outcome effectively met most of the terms a conditional surrender would have set prior to the atomic bombings.

In consequence the atomic bombs provided very little strategic benefits and only meant the US would have to go on with those attacks on its conscience - not that it seemed to weigh too heavily.
That looks good, specially pricing wise all the existing tools are simply unaffordable for B2C platforms where the majority of your users are not paying but you have to foot a massive Auth bill for then...

We use Ory right now, but it is very hard to setup and integrate into.
I have an example to support: https://github.com/hpc4cmb/toast/pull/380/commits/a38d1d6dbc...

A one-liner in Python is replaced by hundreds of lines of changes to implement in C++. (The one-liner has some boilerplates around it too, but the C++ function itself is longer and the boilerplates around is even more.)

Edit: 230 additions and 36 deletions in 14 files.
We have been doing it for years without knowing this finding. We filter the water with Pur and then boil the water in the Kettle. Furthermore, we use Yeti or similar bottles to keep this water for hours, so it reduces the temperature enough to drink the water later. We make coffees and teas with this boiled water. But, I still think we need more process or processes to remove the micro plastics.
Open source needs to drastically up it's dependency management game to get to the point where it works reliably over time before it can displace organisations whose value add is broadly "it somewhat works out of the box and you sue us when it falls over too badly".

It also needs to work out an answer to browsers which isn't repackaging chrome, and possibly to the organisations buying GPU supercomputers

The simple answer is that you can detect wheel slip, then you lock slipping wheels with the brakes.

There are a few other systems (not 25k), using a clutch or independent motors, but it doesn't matter: the claimed deficiencies of some AWD only needs to be debunked and corrected.

Watch the linked YouTube video for more details on Subaru's system, the same system cited by the National Park.

Bottom line, a lot of modern AWD systems are perfectly adequate and in some cases superior to 4 wheel drive systems.
Re-reading my original comment half a day later, I realize that it is wildly inaccurate. I do remember the Y2K mainframe changes part of the project being kind of chill. However, that is only in comparison to the rest of the project. We were redeveloping all the other mainframe systems (and building a few new ones) for a completely different platform and it had to be done ASAP because Y2K! Though it was ultimately successful, it was a classic death march. Good times.
My personal experience is exactly the opposite: in the office people would approach me many times. Sometimes with some work-related issue they needed advice about, sometimes they would simply want to socialize and ask me "do you want to grab a coffee?". In these pre-pandemic days of in-the-office work I would actually never got any work done in the office, I would just hang around, either interacting with people, or just mindlessly browsing the internet (because I could not focus anyway) and impatiently wait for the time when I can go home and get some actual work done.

Working remotely was a godsend for me.
Silly and dangerous idea: open up a power supply, study it thoroughly, then connect a 300 volt battery bank in parallel with the DC link capacitors.
This makes me immediately think of NestJS which copies everything from classes, annotations & ORMs to service locators. It still managed to grow to 3M weekly downloads.

Maybe there's a certain safety in doing thing how they've always been done - even if that seems backwards to me.
Does it show you what it generated before sending it, or do we just have to hope that it makes sense and hasn't interpreted anything incorrectly?
That doesn't mean honesty, honor, etc will ever enter the equation.
I think COSS is great, it makes the code more secure and auditable and makes sure the developers get paid to fix security vulnerabilities. Volunteer OSS is great in theory but it sometimes leads to overworked developers being exploited by foreign intelligence services https://www.techrepublic.com/article/xz-backdoor-linux/. Supabase & Nextjs are part of the so called VC backed open source and they are great.
> My experience with my laptops is that windows will arbitrarily use 2-3x idle power draw while on battery for no apparent reason

same with my experience. My computer have a hardware issue recently, so I am on steamdeck. When I am on windows, the whole system stays on 50%+ load even I only have browser and discord opened. Playing games on it is so laggy that can't even hit 50 fps stably. But the same setup somehow works completely 60fps stable on steamos even it is literally the same hardware.

Windows is really optimized so badly for low power hardwares.
A tax break does not give the company money. "Having an office with tax breaks" is still more expensive than "Not having an office".
If you're interested in live coding, feel free to try Glicol (https://glicol.org).

There's also TidalCycles. I have to praise the ability of Haskell and Ruby in creating DSLs

For Glicol, my thoughts on language design are focused on a synth-inspired syntax, speed for composition, and convenience of sound design. The idea is to design a DSL that draws from previous programming habits but isn't confined to existing languages.
Ask HN: Best Financial News Podcast?
I am looking for an informative, quick 10-15min, financial news podcast. Can you recommend any that give you the past days news and keep you informed?
Now, the world's largest websites are owned by the same company, which also owns the world's most popular browser and search engine. Coincidentally, they are also the world's largest advertising company. And people are wondering why they can't block ads on YouTube anymore.

iirc the reason for that split in margins is precisely because Intel started pricing their foundry internally as-if they were external sales (i.e. made at competitive prices).
If we're going to invoke "vigilantism" (as opposed to notions of
reasonable and proportionate self-defence) let's acknowledge how
U.S. American culture at least in the 80s and 90s is drenched in a
deep love of vigilante justice... The A-Team, Knight Rider, The
Equaliser, even Batman! Who doesn't dream of a secret base inside a
mountain, filled with surveillance gear, an anti-crime computer and a
personal Apache attack helicopter waiting on the pad to rain fire down
on miscreants?

Let's say that's more than just individual morality but a concrete
cultural relation to wealth, power, justice and social contract of the
state.
Would love to see my kids master games like Ultima Online or Everquest ... too bad nothing like that exists today.
Running uBlock Origin in “Medium mode” [1] also does wonders (= blocking 3p-scripts and frames).
It’s interesting to see how many websites work in this mode, and the amount of crap you’re not seeing. Websites load so much faster. And, you can then (permanently, or not) easily whitelist some specific domains like content providers, etc. while browsing.

The statistics are a testament to how good the engineers, planners and builders are in Japan. I think we saw the same thing but from the 1920s onwards the deaths from building collapse during a mega quake are down to like 3% of overall deaths whereas the absolute vast majority of deaths are now drownings from Tsunami.

In California I’ve seen almost zero preparedness compared to what I’ve seen in Japan and honestly, the San Andreas fault looks nasty.
How is this a straw mab argument? I'm not saying poll any random 10 people on what they currently know of laws already on the book, I'd expect that to end poorly.

With regards to this specific law being clear and understandable by those who must follow it, I'm proposing that asking 10 of those people to read it and they wouldn't agree what the law means and when it will be enforced. I don't see that being a straw man, though I could very well be missing something there.
Not OP, but as someone who hates ads and values privacy, switching to a phone built by the world's largest data broker / advertising agency seems like a bit of wrong turn.

iOS has many - many! - issues, but it is a more privacy-respecting platform than Android is. I'm not saying this to knock Android; I would dearly love it if Google weren't such a data hoover. I'd switch over and never look back.
>> You're going to lose more if you make stupid arguments. Try to avoid doing that, the justice system responds to it really badly.

> What on earth are you referring to?

You're claiming you were stalked, harassed and the police fabricated evidence against you. Your response is to advocate that they can't read your Facebook posts. That response is stupid, it is a stupid thing to advocate for. You should be calling for something more like people to be fired. Based on that stance, I'd assume you're going to get rolled by the police strategically. Over the long term you're going to get nothing if you think calling for a reading-public-information-ban is going to get you anything.

If there was such a ban in place, it wouldn't even start to protect you from the problems you're describing. They'd just read your posts in their lunchbreak and keep the list at home on a stickynote outside of an official capacity.

> You still fail to take it into account. When creating policy, one has to consider all ways in which a policy might be used or abused.

Yeah, you do. And when you do that with a policy like "The police can't read public information" the consideration will come to "this policy is moronic, the police should be able to read publicly available information and act if they feel it is appropriate".

I'm not sure how you are thinking that policy of restriction is a good idea and your argument is unpersuasive. You'd either end up with situations like people actively inciting murder on social media and the police are powerless or no change from the current state. The entire idea is silly. The police have to, as a matter of principle, have the power to read public information and act on it if they think it is evidence of a crime. Particularly if they're planning RICO charges. And you can't overrule their judgements on whether something is a crime while their still in an early investigative phase as they would be if they are drawing up lists. It can't possibly work.
What 'we' want is an AI that can replace human workers with very low-cost machines that will do exactly what they are told without complaint or push-back. No more compromising or consideration of others wants or needs. Just give orders and have them carried out.
Does it though? iPhones enjoy a nice isolation model, installing a browser shouldn’t break that.
If you can get the cool kids to migrate to a new, simpler, protocol... (or maybe it's too late and this is what we've got - after all, Gemini was a bust).
Never, because in live in a capitalist society and developers have bills to pay.
I made the switch a few years ago after Firefox improved performance. I've tried to convince some coworkers to change and no one cares to. I think I'm the only one on a team of about 12 developers.

Firefox for Android is amazing as well, with full uBlock Origin support.
if we want to point fingers then I certainly have my targets but what good will that do? you’ll piss off one side, promote the other, and increase the divide for both.

another solution, actually boycott immorality. morality was pushed from society not so long ago, at least in the US, and what you see is the result. why wouldn’t you follow the letter of the law and screw over large swaths of people if it’s legal?
If they're a good person in a bad place, a union can help — and I suspect that if the calls are monitored, the villains who coerce them will want to avoid future calls to a number that regularly undermines their authority over those they traffic.

On the other hand, the examples people commonly share of where someone contacts a knowing scammer to appeal to their humanity, is that the scammers laugh at their victims — so if the people on the phone are the villains, then I think them hanging up immediately may cause more emotional pain than the stream of expletives they're used to.

Regardless, it saves me time.

This approach may not be so useful now that GenAI, both LLMs and synthetic voices, are getting good.
I kinda prefer the interface everywhere to the inheritance everywhere crowd.

But I've mostly used/debugged groovy code so maybe I'm partial.
Ask HN: Is there a list available of startups that will be shut down?
I am looking for a list of possibles. Start-ups that didn't IPO and don't contain "AI" as either part of their business plan or added to it later. And if so, where would I look for potentials? Are their teams that want to stay with their start-ups, but fear being shut down and where do I find them? If I'm asking the wrong question, then please point out how I may acquire the info I seek...
I find myself defining my own traits very rarely these days. Traits enable polymorphic actions on data. Most of the time, you simply don't need that.

An enum often suffices to express the different combinations.

Of course, from a pattern perspective, that is "not extensible" but it often ends up being easier to maintain and in Rust, often compiles down to more efficient code.
The guy in the story basically survived 6 days without water and traveled up to 160 miles during that time.
It's almost unbelievable. I thought that once you loose 4-6 kg of water due to sweat the body does not function any more due to the changed concentration of minerals in the cells.
Exactly, but it's undeniable that even updated it does have some ergonomics issues. It just that its users care less about developer ergonomics. Afaik, there were plenty of attempts to build a replacement (i. e. Fortress), didn't catch on.
On the flip side, I think if they can make slightly more expensive panels with technologies like perovskites, but they are significantly more efficient, they will gain a lot of market share.

The solar panels themselves have become an minor portion of the cost of an install. At this point, the land area and labor install costs have become massive. If you can counter this with panels that are 25% more efficient than current commercialized panels and only 20% more expensive, you need to pay for much less area and labor to install and maintain them. Could be a huge win overall.
A hyphen woulda helped. "brain-washing"
Did you guys do shift sleeping from day one ? We do it but it took us about a year to get right.
> Here’s why: who does the regulating? The government?

The people.

Politics is also a market. New regulations arise when there is sufficient demand for them, as determined by the way the society is governed. If businesses don't want more regulations, they can always act in ways that don't create demand for regulations. But they often don't, because the market can reward defection better than cooperation.

The market just works the way it works, and regulations are one of the consequences.
ULA's CEO says SpaceX's new engine is only partially assembled
I'm not saying there's no complexity. It exists, and there are skills to be learned, but once you have the skills, it's not that hard.

Obviously that part's not different from Kubernetes, but here's the part that is: maintenance and upgrades are either completely out of my scope or absolutely minimal. On ECS, it might involve switching to a more recently built AMI every six months or so. AWS is famously good about not making backward incompatible changes to their APIs, so for the most part, things just keep working.

And don't forget you'll need a lot of those AWS skills to run Kubernetes on AWS, too. If you're lucky, you'll get simple use cases working without them. But once PVCs aren't getting mounted, or pods are stuck waiting because you ran out of ENI slots on the box, or requests are timing out somewhere between your ALB and your pods, you're going to be digging into the layer between AWS and Kubernetes to troubleshoot those things.

I run Kubernetes at home for my home lab, and it's not zero maintenance. It takes care and feeding, troubleshooting, and resolution to keep things working over the long term. And that's for my incredibly simple use cases (single node clusters with no shared virtualized network, no virtualized storage, no centralized logs or metrics). I've been in charge of much more involved ones at work and the complexity ceiling is almost unbounded. Running a distributed, scalable container orchestration platform is a lot more involved than piggy backing on ECS (or Lambda).
I understand that we have different opinions on the risk of speech, there's nothing wrong with that. But how do you see my comments here as not voicing an opinion? I pretty clearly raised my view that speech itself can't cause harm and shouldn't be regulated, though that actions taken by people should be.
There’s even less of a reason to need to ask apple for permission to make my own custom app.
The release of Flux put a scare into them?
That’s like saying everyone should carry grenades around because trained soldiers do. Linux servers do get compromised by people installing dodgy software but it’s nowhere near the scale of the same thing happening on PCs and phones because servers are mostly operated by people with the discipline and skill not to add some random site to their package manager.

Anyone who’s ever supported normal people or even talked with their extended friends and family knows that this is not something you can assume for systems used by the general public. There’s a huge industry social engineering people into installing dodgy software to get deals, porn, games, address scary security threats, etc. and the billions of dollars they made annually means that when your grandfather is on the phone with the call center person walking him through turning off every security measure, he’s probably thinking that they’re more helpful than his actual bank.

If normal people ran Linux, they’d be just as prone to run “sudo add-apt-repository“ as they are clicking through the Windows prompts now.
> it's capitalism to blame

it doesn’t matter how many times this is said, rational people know the issue is with humans and not capitalism. we can’t keep giving human behavior a pass and blaming systems that literally cannot take any action on their own. we see this with guns as well, the problem is not the system nor the laws, the problem is people. i wish you luck in fixing people, as many have tried before you and failed.
I could never quite listen to "Singing in the Rain" the same way since
