Announcing BMW sold more EV’s in a single month (and they are using registrations which means actual sales) is interesting on its own. Sure it might just be random fluctuation at this point, but that just means they are neck and neck.

IMO waiting for a full quarter may be more reasonable, but waiting for a full year and it’s old news.

Good catch. I forgot the braces. It does not change the target directory size in a significant way.

As for your other comments: sure! We can have a real conversation about rust-analyzer and other serde features (though I am not sure which specific features you are referring to) causing the target directory to increase drastically in size. However, a sensationalist comment that claims the _dependencies_ are 3gb appears to be misleading at best.

“That’s AR”

That’s funny, because when I look up AR, that’s not at all what I see and it’s certainly not what anybody I know expects from AR.

“a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view.”
I am aware of the rules re: swipes. I just don't believe it is a swipe to describe running VMs inside kubenetes for an IRC client just to back up logs as "silly" (not "idiotic" as your example implies). It's accurate. This is a a silly/fun article. As for cargo-culting, that's when you implement some complex sequence of operations you've become familiar with hoping to achieve benefits from that complexity even if it has nothing to do with the process implemented. Here's it's done for seemingly self-aware recreation but it is still cargo cult.

It is not a serious post or something that anyone would recommend. You know this to be true (if you've read the article). And you'll note the tone of my post was accepting re: different tastes for recreational software stacks.

Instead of, "'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

It is more like,
"That is silly; 100502340243 + 1 is 100502340244 and 100502340244 is a big awkward number. 2 is smaller."

....whereas in your version 1+1 is a normal situation one would actually encounter and recommend and this 100502340243 + 1 is the intrinsic weirdness needing pointing out. Your claimed swipe is actually the argument itself. It's not extraneous.
P Diddy and a Saudi Prince.

What nice company to keep.
No, it's that there is not a single file of original code left. This was just the last remaining file to not have a line of code edited since then (that definition seems to exclude the automatically added OpenBSD opening comment line). Likely lasting so long because it was an extremely short makefile without much meat and potatoes to change even if the code for what it was about changed.
I think it means that there are no longer any unchanged files. Much more likely that there are many lines of code that are still the same.

Erulabs top comment nailed it so hard. There's been such a vocal force in comments for so long, of revulsion to "complexity", believing "simpler" is better.

> Yes, the standard approach is more complex. But it is better _in practice_ to have a single approach, rather than many individually-simpler, but in-aggregate-more-complex approaches.

There still remains such a strong reflexive "you don't need Kubernetes for that" response that shows up.

But we really are seeing a lot more people who get the value of there being a standard way of doing things, of having common platform & expectations underneath. The cost of starting up may be significant, but it results in a more legible understandable result, and we can keep reusing that base of capabilities again and again and again.

Its such an exciting change. Open source has been around for a long time, but running software has been the wild West, until very very recently. We now have this awesome, scalable, extensible way to manage containers, volumes, load balancers, databases, and whatever else have we.

Love to see it. Folks aren't wrong about it having complexity, but so much of the complexity already existed, was just not clearly visible or well harnesses (different example is like how systemd makes it so easy to restrict services, give them temporary/unprivileged users). We are closer to a real shared understanding, to having so many particular decisions offloaded & so much more we can work together atop. Love it so much.

Getting git to handle large data sets in regular repositories seems like a great way to go for many reasons. What is preventing the ideas of Xet from landing into git directly?
Yes, I want to expand it to that. I imagine with a helper server (or p2p service) that can serve your archive out to people you share it with.

You could even have the index available as well. I imagine like you can create an archive on a topic you're expert on, and then it's like a little subject-matter focused search engine and library for that. :)

It's all what you're accustomed to. Git confuses the heck out of me every time I use it for anything more complicated than clone, pull, commit, or push.

There's a couple observations about these numbers.

The first is that the numbers don't add up to 100%, because students can select more than one race. For the class of 2028 they add up to close to 100%, but they add up to over 120% for the prior year. This suggests that there's been significant changes in how many students select more than one race. It's possible that without an incentive to select an under-represented race, that many fewer students did so.

Secondly, the percentage of white students didn't change much. The portion of students identifying as Asian-descent went up quite a bit, while black/hispanic declined; the rest of the difference appears to be due to the change in multi-race selection.

Overall, this does seem to suggest that the systems previously in place did not really affect white students much, but served to suppress Asian student representation in favor of other minority students.

They could also be local but with a non-Portland area code. Generally, at least if you are using a nationwide cell phone carrier, you can move to another area code and keep your number.

I wonder what percent of people do that?

False, Tesla took the crown back in 2024, which wouldn't happen if BYD was actually "growing very very fast".

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/byd-ma...

You won't see that story on HN unlike the Q4 2023 news which was on HN several times because only bad news about Tesla gets upvoted here and on Reddit. And the propaganda works, because as you can see people start believing in falsehoods.

BYD pure electric sales were down 43% and you say they're growing very very fast? What?

Correction from the poster I was responding to: it is not his article.

It's not just that. The OS adds features into the native widgets. Spell checking, translation, IME support, definition lookup, reconversion (CJK). You get them all for free and the OS can add more with every version, the least being password insertion. Render your own UI and that can't happen. That's one reason why Flash died. It meant that a new platform (mobile) couldn't give the user new ways it interact where as HTML could because it was up to the browser/OS to provide the low-level widgets, not the app itself.
Cool idea, how deep into it are you? What’s your plans for the project?

First of all, the 500 error page is often included as part of the toolkit being used to make the site, as a generic response to most exceptions. The developer isn't generally going to explain every possible exception in detail to the end user; the most important thing is that they automatically get logs or error notifications with the ACTUAL exception, and can take action to fix it.

I think accessibility should be the basic of all website and search engines should promote SEO based on and ON TOP OF accessibility.

Currently, if anything, it's more like websites first and foremost try to be "semantic web", that matters to no one other than Google. Accessibility comes as separate mark-up enhancements, an after thought.

The web should be for humans before it conforms to some standard that only benefits some big corp.
> the likelihood that they'll even receive the complaint is next to nothing.

They don't need you to complain: they got an automated notification as soon as you saw the error page.
That was true for the initial model(s), but at least the ones I have now can be found (and audibly pinged!) in the case as well.

It even works for the case without the AirPods in it. That part is definitely new, since the original cases didn't have any wireless hardware in them (and depended on at least one AirPod being in it to report their battery level, for example); the new ones have their own Bluetooth/UWB chain.
Fasting before chemo is probably also good, but you can read about its applicability for your case.

Well, they put a full-size HDMI port on the R5 mk. II if that is all you are worried about.
Sometimes one needs to have the vision (no-pun intended) realized as hardware-in-hand for the problems to actually sink-in. I would bet that the next version of vision pro will be a significant jump in usability and addressing of the issues (which is also made more probable by the fact that this is a segment still in its infancy, by measure of the possibilities it offers, so changes will be big compared to, say, changes in a mature ecosystem like Android).
I guess Apple didn’t bother to connect with the original owner since lot many people do not buy for themselves and as gifts or for parents. So unless AirPods were paired with a device, Apple wouldn’t like to get involved much.
The piano tuner didn’t need to explain what they were doing, though, and they’re not being paid any more to fake that.

This once happened to somebody I know! Their Apple ID somehow got banned from specifically, and only, iMessage and FaceTime; all other services like iCloud and the app store were working as usual.

No idea why it happened, but Apple support was able to reset it on a phone call.

My theory is that they'd kept a non-active SIM in their phone for a long time, and the phone had tried to repeatedly verify/link that phone number to their Apple ID (via challenge SMS, I believe), thereby exceeding some rate limit.

Gotta love that such rate limits exist and do occasionally hit legitimate users, but at the same time, there are paid lookup-as-a-service APIs out there as mentioned in TFA...
It's a little weirder. At least one translation granule is required but it is up to the implementation to choose which one(s) they want. Many older Arm cores only support 4KB and 64KB but newer ones support all three.

The size of the translation granule determines the size of the block entries at each level. So 4K granules has super pages of 2MB and 1GB, 16KB granules has 32MB super pages, and 64K has 512MB super pages.

It's called rent control. That's literally describing the existing rent control policies in SF: rent is fixes save for an extremely minor increase around 2%. Allowing a fixed price increase is still a form of price controls.

I have this very easily setup to a set of simple commands which I can run to deploy new versions of packages.

Basically 3 paths for:

- things with well-maintained upstream helm charts (checks the latest version of the helm chart and updates helmfile)

- things where I wrote a helm chart (checks for the latest container image and updates the values.yaml)

- things where there is no (reasonable) public docker image, or my own software, where I have full CI/CD to build and deploy a new container image.

Probably takes me 15 minutes a week to keep my two personal clusters fully up-to-date.

Such a good observation! Even as a very left-leaning person, this is the problem I see with the current implementation of "DEI": the white majority, including so-called progressives, never intend to give up their hold on all forms of influence, in every sphere of life.

They have a long history of ridding the cost curve down, but it’s not that fast. The 2010 iPad was 720$ adjusted for inflation, the current iPad better in basically every way starts at 350$. Original 2007 iPhone would be 908$ inflation adjusted while the iPhone SE is 429$.

My guess is it’s either discontinued or the 2040 Vision (non pro) is going to be strictly better in basically every way but still more than 1000$ inflation adjusted. But honestly if it’s 1/3 the weight and essentially strictly better in every way that could be quite compelling. There’s definitely a point where headsets are going to be comfortable enough you can forget they’re there, and ~2k for something you’re using regularly for 4+ years isn’t crazy money.
What are some of the other examples?
Besides (not) being told "this is how we're counting", there are incentives that align with functional overstatement.

A weak example is keeping people on payroll who may not have active contracts. There's no reason to purge them if they're eligible to resume working (within the allowed period, which may be, say, 12-18 months), but it's not strictly fair to count them as being employed in the same way as a traditional 12 month FT hire.

Last year, we purged over a thousand people from payroll who hadn't officially separated. Unusual, but not abnormal. Who would call that a conspiracy?

I think it's convenient to lie in aggregate, especially when "job creation" and high payroll counts loosely correspond to economic growth and if not eligible voters, then at least tax revenues.
I think it depends on your code and dependencies. At work, the time between making a change in our codebase (which is much smaller than a million LOC) to having ESLint update itself in the IDE can take 5+ seconds, depending on what you changed. But we also use some pretty over-engineered, generic-heavy dependencies across our entire codebase.
