Sedans are useless. I consider them car evolution dead end. They take as much road space as their counterparts, but carry less.

Hatchback, universal, minivan, suvs are much more practical.
It is complete nonsense. In fact, it is scale that drives competition, and it is competition that brings prices down.

I'm insufficiently nerd-sniped - what I'd really want is a book where every single mathematical expression is written in code, which I could manipulate. I'm thinking essentially of a book version of a Scrimba[0] course. I personally would love it to be in SymPy code, but I'd be happy with anything.

I run a payments startup, but to ktlo, I had to do consulting work, and I’d hired a sales person to acquire and manage clients. When I realized consulting was taking too much time and focus, I ended it. It took the better part of a year to get the sales person to stop finding more clients. They didn’t get why I would end something that was generating revenue, and kept trying to talk me out of it with “this is such a great deal, it’s a quick project, pays well, etc”. Imagine this across all depts. This is how businesses lose focus, everyone thinks they just need to make their case.

"I don't expect you to understand, but self-diagnosing and self-medicating is not safe for you when you don't have the credentials."

This is extremely condescending and also very profitable for the medical industry. On the one hand we have a wild west market where hospitals, pharmaceuticals and doctors can see all data and charge whatever prices they feel like. For the patient it's a market where we aren't even allowed to collect data about ourselves, aren't allowed to import drugs that are approved and safe somewhere else and with many treatments we won't even get an price before it's done. But we have to pay. Talk about asymmetry!

Speaking of self diagnosing: I went to several doctors about my joint pain and chronic headaches. they all wanted to describe steroids, anti inflammatories and whatever. Turns out if I reduce sugar, I am totally fine. I came up with that after reading some literature and testing on myself. None of the doctors mentioned this for the hundreds of dollars in deductible and copay this cost me. Self diagnosis works. I know there are limits to this but many of us can read the medical literature as well as doctors and draw our own conclusions.
Unfortunately, they also have plenty of low-quality venues that dilute the discoverability of the high-quality ones. Some orgs (Usenix for instance) hold to at least a decent standard across nearly all their research conferences, so I can better gauge the quality of a paper in a field I'm less familiar with based on whether it was accepted to a conference in that org. When it comes to IEEE, it seems like they'll let any low-quality journal or conference spring up with their brand as long as it brings in the cash.
> "Except in practice, judging from the report of founder after founder, what this often turns out to mean is: hire professional fakers and let them drive the company into the ground."

To me this points to a secondary problem further down the line in hiring. Why are you getting a bunch of professional fakers?

Maybe in hiring people (including founders) tend to look at a lot of secondary indicators: where the person went to school, past companies they've worked for, etc. Instead they should be looking at primary indicators around how they have actually done or might actually do the job. That is much harder to evaluate though, which is why people fall back to secondary indicators.
Here are HN’s guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Your comment isn’t kind, and is calling me names. I am not sure why you cannot just calmly speak to the issue instead of saying that I am buying into “bot-fed rhetoric” or spreading misinformation. The guidelines explicitly say to assume good faith.

> Moraes has the power to decide on this matter and the court will review his decision collectively in due time.

The problem is Moraes was not granted this power through constitutional amendment or law. Feel free to point at something specific otherwise. But here is the breakdown of why these orders are unconstitutional and illegal:

https://x.com/AlexandreFiles/status/1829979981130416479/phot...

If that is not good enough, look at Article 5 Title IX of the Brazil constitution from https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Brazil_2017, which guarantees the following right to all Brazilians and foreigners residing in the country:

> expression of intellectual, artistic, scientific, and communication activity is free, independent of any censorship or license

Posting on Twitter is clearly “communication activity” and therefore must be free of censorship. There are numerous other parts of the constitution that are also violated by the notion of a single justice issuing orders in secret. You can read through the page with the constitutional text if you wish.

> Arguing that this is a political move doesn't even make sense. How does banning X help Lula?

De Moraes was banning content and accounts that belong to the political opposition against Lula. Banning X, a service that provides equal access to social media to all parties, is equivalent to only allowing services that continue censorship of the opposition party. That is directly favorable to Lula.
That has the unintended side effect of penalizing EVs. You'd want a weight penalty, but separate ones for ICE and hybrid and EV.
Anaconda (and miniconda) is a very good solution if you need a container-like environment. I can easily go back to old projects with different python versions and do maintenance in them with no hassle.
Sure, but the problem is that the geometry of the sheet alone doesn't indicate what will happen to the matter on it; you need something external. Whereas in actuality the curvature of spacetime alone is sufficient.
I would argue that being a great operator (what he derides as manager mode) requires setting clear outputs and expectations from who you are delegating to. If your company turns to hell because you've delegated too hands off, that's a sign you aren't skilled enough at delegating. He calls this "founder mode" but this can be done by any highly skilled manager/operator.
The notion of charging different fees or taxes by engine displacement is idiotic. It has nothing particularly to do with road wear, emissions, or safety hazards.
I'm not sure which is worse, the MBAs with their proclamations coming from a place with a complete lack of experience or the founders who think they're a genius for riding an economic trend in one of the most forgiving markets in recent history.

There is a theme of extreme gatekeeping in several comments for this article. In fact, such gatekeeping is a common experience in healthcare. The strong conflict of interest is obvious. Don't let it stop you from taking power in your own hands.
No, you need to upload a prescription.
After almost everything else failed I tried VNS for Restless Leg Syndrome. Didn't work either. Really had high hopes for it.
A person is no more likely to suffer from "self-diagnosing" the implications of their blood sugar readings than they are from misunderstanding their weight or blood pressure measurements.
The thread here is talking about it as a very common occurrence.

If you really think that a large percentage, or even a majority, of parents have fucked up their kids we have much bigger problems to deal with than how many elderly people may be living alone.
What will I do with that 99.97% survival rate? Add more 9s for my age and fitness. But yea ok, better take the experimental drugs now because the screen said to.
That's blatant nonsense. In practice, you do need to have a prescription so you know exactly what to get, but you can type in the numbers without having to upload anything.
You should not use this if you have Type-1 diabetes. It's (supposedly) not cleared to the same FDA standards, and if you tell the app you're diabetic, it locks you out from using this. I'm under the impression the Stelo (OTC version) is the same as the G7 (prescription version) with a different logo and box. I think the only practical difference is that this version has a longer lifespan (15 vs <10 days), and that it's not configured to actually alarm when it detects something dangerous. I'm not sure if any science showed the last 5 days have reduced accuracy, but I wouldn't risk my health on it if there were alternatives available.

If you have T1d, you've been able to get the prescription-variant of this product for years with insurance, so there really is no reason to get this unless you're un-insured.

Ok, good point. There's certainly nothing wrong with non-managers being key people who should contribute to this hypothetical 100-person offsite, out of a 2000-person company.

I was reacting to the idea that the "top execs" are generally not the people you'd want. There was an undertone in pg's description that seemed to me like, "SJ hated those stupid and ineffective managers so he bypassed them to invite the people doing the real work."

I've worked in places with some ineffective managers, and at bigger companies I've witnessed a few ladder-climbing sociopathic liars, so I get the sentiment.

I just think it's more useful to figure out how to remove those ineffective people, or better yet build a cultural immune system that rejects them, rather than bypass them.

Indeed, we can likely pinpoint the author's social circle to north-london politically-correct literati and media/arts "people-people".

The piece seems to imply that this is the real society, and that the nerds and boffins need to be controlled, lest they encode their unsavoury values into the fabric of the modern world.

I mean, it's a valid point, but the delivery could be more, um, inclusive.
We do the same concept in night diving. Set a glow stick with a pie tin low, and another high behind and above it.

I'm pretty sure they mean that NFL players (and musicians) have dedicated practice time separate from their "performance" time (games for athletes, concerts/recording/writing sessions/etc. for musicians), whereas software engineers are (generally) expected to produce useful output during all of their work time, and aren't generally allotted time in the schedule for self-improvement.

That was a very interesting and well researched article. Thank you.
I don't disagree with your premise, but I also don't fully agree with it as a comprehensive explanation. Overeating seems to be a uniquely American problem, and independent of a nation's food security status. For example, the obesity rate in Japan is much lower than that of the US and I don't think that's due to them (a) not having enough food to over-indulge or (b) somehow having evolved a shutoff mechanism that Americans have yet to develop.

To me, it seems almost entirely explained by culture.
That's in 2022, not since 2022—the date on that is in early 2023, so it predates my linked article by a year. And even your source doesn't say "there was no growth" it says "the numbers for 2022 are confusing and contradictory".

From your article:

> The scale of the uncertainty over the true nature of China’s coal demand means it is hard to establish whether there was an overall rise or fall in the country’s CO2 emissions in 2022. This difference could have global implications for action on climate change.

> Whether the official coal data for 2022 is correct or not, the country moved further off track against its near-term targets for carbon and energy intensity.

Also, it's measuring something different—emissions in the year—while the article I linked is talking about new coal construction. New coal construction is pretty easy to measure relative to emissions, and is a leading indicator suggesting future emissions are coming.
The person obviously has a strong conflict of interest, and stands to lose when people empower themselves. You will not convince them if they're not operating in good faith.

Speaking of joint pain, also consider:

1. Avoiding microplastics. Wash everything and filter your water, but not with a resin based filter that leaks more plastics than it removes. Avoid contact of food and drink with plastic.

2. Sometimes it's due to gut dysbiosis. In fact this goes hand in hand with the sugar theory. Antibiotics can often fix it, although the exact antibiotic needed can vary significantly.

Don't put in a place where history is saved (as in, don't put it in a repo, put on a shared disk). Also, make sure to rotate the key when people change.
It doesn’t help that much. Each tire of a fully loaded 18 wheeler carries 4.4x the weight of a typical car tire. 4.4 ^ 4 = 378x the damage per tire but there are also 4.5x the tires so your at 1,700x the damage.

That’s an oversimplification, but it doesn’t really matter if it’s 99.9% or 95% of the damage ware is still absolutely dominated by heavy vehicles.
The solution is easy. Humans shouldn't be the ones driving cars.

Try buying a sedan. Most of them have been discontinued by the manufacturer as of 2024 or the dealer won’t have one in stock or if they do have one in stock it won’t have power windows or they’ll have some excuse why they can’t sell you one.

They did it to my dad when he tried to buy a small car in he 1970s and it was a policy of American car dealers except around a short period after he 2008 financial crisis. What is relatively new is that Japanese car dealers started doing the same after the 2008 crisis abated.
Was that a genuine concern? Boiling water has a fixed maximum temperature. Not sure that room temp->90C is all that different from room temp to 100C for ceramic.
That very much sounds like those aliens from that book by Carl Sagan made into a movie starring Jodie Foster, "Contact". In the book and movie they needed the VLA radio telescope to pick up the signal but modern technology has made it possible for an enlarged Apollo clone to receive it on the entertainment system.

If you don't understand it just watch the movie and listen to the signal picked up from the region around the star Vega, then you will understand.

Sure we do.

* execution performance time

* build time

* regression frequency

* defect quantity

* code size

* dependency quantity

* test automation coverage

* test automation execution duration

The problem isn’t that we don’t know. The problem is that developers don’t measure things and simultaneously bitch about strong opinions.
Show HN: I made a site for devs to share tech guides with community updates
Heya Hacker News,

Over the past couple of months, I have developed a website that allows users to share tutorials and articles specific to software.

I was sick of following tutorials and then a small bug would appear which would lead you down a 3 hour rabbit hole and find the bug was an incorrect parameter in the code I definitely did not copy and paste. On my website, you are able to ask questions about specific code blocks and get answers back directly from the author or answered by other members of the community.

I hope to build more features on the website specifically for devs in the future!
Anyway, it’s free to create and read tutorials/articles. Looking for any feedback and grow the community to create some content.

Thanks, Oliver
I seem to recall that something 10% of the oil that's extracted is used to make plastics, while the rest is used for energy. Framed that way, it could be argued that it doesn't make much of a difference if it gets burned (especially if it's burned in lieu of burning some other fuel), but if it's burned there's no chance it will pollute a river or ocean.
Not as bad as seeing low-effort AI generated articles here and there disguised as a useful blog post that is just an ad for yet another AI tool
This does resonate but I don't think it's necessarily a "founder" vs. "manager" thing. I've seen at least one company that was not successful under its founders and where a hired CEO took it to the next level. That hired CEO operated closer to what you'd call "founder mode". Both these companies grew to multi-billion dollar valuations and would have likely never gotten there without hiring a CEO and both executed really well by any measure.

I've also seen founders that weren't really at a level where they could "founder mode" and micromanaged things badly. Those founders are the ones that tend to apply the bad advice pg discusses and who can't really tell the difference if they've hired a good or not so good person and whether they're doing a good job or not.

I totally agree that you need people with the ability to hold the big picture in their head. This can be the entire company but it can also be one product or project within the company. Trying to construct this picture out of pieces in multiple people's heads is vastly inferior and is a factor in the failure of projects/products and companies. You can't separate vision/what/how across people.

What I don't think we want to take away from this is that the founder is always right or that you shouldn't hire good people and let them do their job. I don't think these two statements are accurate. The "founder" (or manager) does need to make sure that things come together, i.e. you don't have engineers building the wrong things. But you do need good people and you do need to let them do their job.
Segregating regulations by vehicle class is how the CAFE laws failed. Make your vehicle a “light truck” and now you can give it much worse mileage.

No, you just have to charge in proportion to damage done and let the economics work out how they will.
I love 1Password. I use it personally, but at company level we use another.
> Yes, but they should be unique to your account. I.e. via SSO.

This is a great best practice, but user-based value metrics for many SaaS platforms make this untenable for some IT departments. If folks have to log in seldomly, it's very hard to make the business case to pay per user.

Similarly, there's many SaaS platforms that charge A LOT extra for SSO because you have to upgrade to their Enterprise-pricing model. If managing a separate user directory isn't worth it because the software isn't personalized, understaffed IT departments aren't going to do that either.

So while there is a best practice, dismissing solutions that are "good enough" (while sharing tradeoffs) isn't as helpful.
I have a regular Bolt, and it's just the best car... so easy to drive, and efficient enough that miles are basically free. I'd never go back to an ICE car, even with all the issues around public charging.
Cool, do what lots of places do and tax based on emissions.

It wont penalise EVs while also encouraging people and makers to produce less ridiculous cars. You dont need a 5.3l V8 which does 16 miles to the Gallon to sit in freeway traffic.
You have that story confused or backwards. Occasionally vehicle crash victims will suffer such internal injuries, mainly the elderly who already have weak blood vessels. But big cars don't have worse crumple zones, rather the opposite.
In that case all the retail will go out to the suburbs and they’ll lose the jobs and have to drive out to the suburbs to go shopping. Or just lose the jobs to AMZN warehouses even further away.
They're more popularly now known as bollards. Not too popular in the United States, because anything to reduce or restrict the speed of cars is frowned upon, over the safety of other road users or property.

As pedestrian deaths continue to rise, bollards are finding more supporters:

There are vehicles that do more damage to roads than large pickup trucks. It's still the case that large pickup trucks do more damage to the road than small cars. Owners of pickup trucks are being subsidized by pedestrians and small car owners. They do not pay enough for the privilege of driving their vehicles in relation to the damage they cause.
Thanks, that was great.
