I specifically will never own a car that is pure drive by wire and has no mechanical linkage backup. If anything else goes wrong with a car you usually have some limited control. If your steering goes out you are likely less than a blink away from a serious accident with zero control over how it proceeds.

Without a physical linkage you might not even notice when your steering goes out until you are already crashing, even if its blaring alarms at you how will you know what is actually happening until you read something or fight against a wheel acting oddly. With a physical connection it something jams or breaks, you will be able to tell instantly.

Granted I do have some bias against electronic steering in general, but even if it was drive by pure hydraulic steering through hard line I would not want it without a physical linkage backup.
I was using a Fedora release with the 6.10 kernel, and I experienced frequent logouts and restarts, almost once per day. It's nice to see that others were having similarly poor experiences.
Show HN: Looksmax AI – Receive Personalized Tips to Enhance Your Appearance
I encourage developers to clean up their commits but so often they're either unduly nervous about breaking things or have a fascination with "preserving the history" (of their branch, which is not yet merged in anywhere).

I partly blame the excessive fear mongering around rebasing, where the strict Never Rebase a Pushed Branch rule is drilled into them and they never learn why or when they can break the rule safely.

So it's an uphill fight but I just try to teach by demonstrating, frequently, exactly how they can tidy up for the merge request.

This is only true if people repeat it and believe it to be true.
I've been here for awhile, and my take is that HN both now and in the past has an unusually high signal to noise ratio, which does not mean it has little noise. It's just that noise is the default state.

It’s not Mickey’s fault that a foreign company created a theme park with their corporate mascot 20 years later. Just one of those weird coincidences hahaha.
Just an aside, not arguing...

You don't necessarily need to hire someone like Anders to pick their brain.

A lot of people who are not huge in the zeitgeist (and also are not assholes) are surprisingly reachable.

Funnily enough, I've chatted with Anders about programming language design -- I got the impression he thought my ideas were terrible.

For a while, you could just email Noam Chomsky and he would respond.
Stop reading crp on the internet and get back to work, "founder"
Of course I am restricting it to native Linux games, the others are Windows games, developed and sold for Windows customers, that happen to be running on Linux thanks to Proton.

One could be running a VM of some sort for exactly the same purpose.

To the point that studios with Android NDK versions don't even bother to have them on GNU/Linux.
Either your product is at its core useful, or its not. If the environment is rapidly changing, either your product is still relevant, and you should be focusing on stability, or it's no longer useful and it's too late to change that.

> If you've got a big customer making 20% of your revenue who's threatening to jump ship (not an uncommon scenario for small to medium sized companies), you simply have to deliver whatever they want as fast as you can and worry about your vision later.

But that's one new requirement (or set of), not a changing environment. If that customer is changing their requirements as they go, so that you're constantly shifting focus, you need to either pin them down to one goal, or cut them loose and deal with the fallout. They don't see or care about the "war mode" they've created, and placating them will just invite more demands, and you can't keep it up forever.

The one time I've seen a "war mode" succeed was making a change that was a precondition for acquisition, when a set of requirements was laid out in the acquisition offer. It couldn't be altered once it was accepted, so the "war mode" had a fixed goal and deadline. Apart from something like that, it's just going to result in a spiral.

One big issue is that pedestrians includes kids. And kids change speed or direction very suddenly. In that scenario, the risk comes from the car, though, not the kids. Unless getting bumped in to by a 3 year old is fatal.

I'm also ruthless with the "not interested" and "don't recommend channel".
Hypothetically, what could the modern web look like if instead of inferring user attributes we let users specify those?

E.g.; I tend to want recipes by French authors. I have a profile set up in my browser to search in French, prefer French results, and when localization is applicable to retrieve results written in France. Switching to this profile is a button-click and automagically affects what all websites I visit believe out my personna.

E.g.; In that same example, even ad-tech presumably benefits from believing my ruse. If I'm in a mood to read French recipes in French, an ad for a US Football game is probably not going to land very well. Perhaps some company could do better by targeting based on both who I am and who I'm purporting to be (especially with respect to important life characteristics like log10(salary) and count(children)), but the temporary personna is by itself likely already better than any inferred characteristics at guiding targeted ads.

E.g.; I throw on a DIY personna. Instead of being inundated with (mostly fake) repair services when I ask for bike or device repair information, I find links to solid content like Sheldon Brown's blog and commercial links to informational content, DIY-focused parts and tools for sale, .... The web can still be a for-profit, sanitized entity while providing a vastly better experience for me the searcher and also the poor sucker paying for "bike repair shop" ads on my searches which could never possibly convert for that concept.
Agree and I’ll take it a step further: shouldn’t we encourage deep understanding of malicious or unethical systems so we can know how they work and possibly thwart them?

You raise a valid point. Proof is an overloaded term with differing meanings in metaphysics, math, and law. However in all three cases it's obviously different attempts to grasp at the same ultimate thing: truth.

ACE score of 8. I’m happy, live a life I find deeply meaningful and fulfilling, don’t suffer from any depression, I have a wife and two kids. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. My teens and 20s were really rough, I spent a lot of time ruminating and just being a sourpuss. But I mostly knew I didn’t want to be like the people I’d been surrounded by when I was a kid. I got over it and stopped worrying about it so much. I’m lucky I found a good wife, we’ve talked for probably thousands of hours about our childhoods and worked out a lot of stuff. I feel like I’m continually improving. I just don’t worry too much, in my 20s I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression but those are basically non existent now.

The thing I purposely try to avoid when starting a new job is talking about my upbringing and background too early. I didn’t tell people at my current job my youngest daughter is in a wheelchair until about three months in. I let people form their judgments from how effective I am at work, then reveal more about my personal life. That first impression is so important. If people think you’re damaged goods from the get go you’ll get their pity, which is not what you want. You want their respect. Pity in a workplace means career death.

I’ve started riding my bike regularly which seems to have a very similar effect to taking Adderall. I use super bright lights in my home office during the winter. Home cooked meals improve my overall mood by leaps and bounds.
People should not do that, though. There are better things to dedicate lives to.

Per their FAQ starting cost is 15k and it goes up to 100k British pounds. I think intersection of people who have a Corolla and would want this is non-zero, but probably not enough to justify any kind of volume production.

Generalizing & disparaging technology you dislike or don’t use is weak sauce.

Second Brain is a form of note taking used in paper notebooks, by engineers of all industries for decade upon decades.

An advantage is digital versions can do tagging, hyperlinking, and be embedded with AI & LLMs.

It's not English-speaking community specific. In every language I can speak, I can think of an equivalent of MrBeast for that area. Maybe a majority portion of the entire world's population actually enjoys that kind of content. Nobody in my friend group enjoys that, but looking at my nephews, they're all going crazy about it. There are going to be people who grew up with him for almost a decade, and that's a crazy amount of time to build parasocial relationship with your favourite celebrity.
Yes. The fear is real, and 100% more tangible when you're holding your child the first few times. Overcome with love, joy and sadness because you cannot comprehend how anyone could treat someone that they love so deeply in a bad way.

I don't think "made it" is the differentiator here. It's more about emotional maturity and acceptance that you're chiefly responsible for another human beings experience of the world: What you put in can set them up, or break them down.

That said, I created some rules for myself:

1. Never lie to children. It's easy to make up a story to avoid an emotional outburst. People that lie cannot be trusted, trust is the cornerstone of a relationship, don't lie.
2. Don't avoid emotions. Lean in. Feeling emotions is a human right. Let kids feel emotions. Be with them and make them feel safe. Through conversation try to dissect, explain and appreciate why they're feeling emotional.
3. Hug them. Only let go when they let go.
4. Say goodbye. Don't sneak out the house to avoid an emotional outburst. Not understanding where a parent went, or why you missed them leaving is traumatic. Say goodbye.
5. Never pretend that you'll leave them. Kid is at playground and doesn't want to leave? Never faux walk away and pretend you're leaving without them. Fear is not a parenting strategy, it's abuse.

I'm sure my list will grow. My daughter is 2. I try to live with integrity, honesty and love. What I get out is pure unfettered joy.
> In 1980, a high-income man would be significantly less likely to marry a high income woman, simply because there were fewer of them to marry.

By the 1980s, the rate of women participating in the workforce had nearly reached its peak. It certainly wouldn't be a case of fewer women working in general, to any meaningful degree. Although, granted, your implication seems to be that women were limited to menial jobs during that time rather than it being that they weren't working at all. What would have brought on the rise of them moving into professional work since? Additionally, how did the economy manage to create so many menial jobs to absorb the massive influx of women entering the workforce leading up to the 80s, yet jobs that seemingly weren't important enough to retain for more than a few remaining years when women quickly moved into professional work in the following decades?

> Online dating certainly offers no explanation

The article offers one, but assumes you're familiar with traditional cultural norms around marriage, which, to be fair, may be an assumption too great in a society that is moving away from believing in the institution.

The longstanding assumption in marriage is that a good woman is a force multiplier for the man. Hence why in law she is considered a partner and ultimately entitled to half of what the man makes (historically speaking), believing she is the backbone that propels the man to his heights. The suggestion is that online dating is allowing men with the most potential to meet the women who are the greatest multipliers. In other words, historically, high potential men would have been limited to who was within a figurative x mile radius limiting the multipler effect, but now can search the world over for those who offer the greatest multiple, producing a greater product.

For what it is worth, an explanation I've heard elsewhere is that men leverage financial resources to attract a mate and that online dating has ramped up the competition as it is the women who are no longer limited to the x mile radius, but can all congregate around the most valuable men in the world, creating a situation where men feel they need to be bigger winners, so to speak, to win them over.

Anyway, neither are going to overcome any skepticism, but that's the idea. In the end, who cares anyway?
Why keep background-position, if background overrides it anyway?
And WSL1?
Just to be clear here, the FBI recommends adblock.
It's shockingly frustrating and disheartening.

I recently (like, yesterday) got permanently banned from Reddit for "report abuse", for some random semi-nonsense comment I reported a month ago on a meme subreddit. Regardless of how justified that is or isn't -- I only have one side of the story to share of course, and I think I just got caught in some labor-saving measures for their underpaid+overworked admin staff -- it's a great reminder of these corporations' power over us.

A lifetime ban from a forum is certainly not as practically bad as the nightmare scenario of losing GMail, but still not great. I used Reddit to discuss technology, philosophy, and politics, and was quite active over the last year especially, using the platform's various science subs to share+refine the ideas I'm developing for my upcoming book with experts. Obviously there's a professional element there, but it was also a big outlet for me, keeping me motivated to share my work when I was feeling like scrapping it all due to anxiety and/or pessimism. Getting 50 upvotes on your detailed critique of some tenured professor's work feels better than you might imagine! I even had 45 "followers", though I never quite learned what that feature was or why it existed -- still, it was a nice ego boost at time when I needed that desperately.

Now that I'm banned for life, I'm basically just planning on giving up that part of my personality for now. Perhaps publishing my book will earn me some friends/critics willing to discuss such things with me, or perhaps I can make some when I start a PhD someday, but until then, Reddit's the only show in town; I've realized that Reddit is to scientific discussion what LinkedIn is to professional networking.

Like LinkedIn there are alternatives, but also like LinkedIn, the alternatives lack network effects and features. Lemmy is absurdly small+monolithic by comparison (/r/philosophy alone is 395x bigger than the entire 'Lemmyverse' put together, and much more diverse), HackerNews is highly focused and intentionally underdeveloped ("You're posting too fast!" + no markdown or communities), Twitter is somehow a Nazi thing now, and LessWrong is... well, it's its own beast. I could try Bluesky or Threads, but A) I've been a forum diehard since finding giantitp.com in middle school, and B) that feels a little like asking to be hurt again, lol. Would love any recommendations from passerby, though!

...sorry, had to get that off my chest, I guess. 12+ years of comments disappearing due to a random incident was more of an emotional blow than I expected, to be perfectly honest. TL;DR: Never, ever report any comments on Reddit. Ever. It's an under-appreciated risk.
Another negative is it can only update the filter rules with an extension update (which Google controls the speed of). As far as I know, it hasn't been a problem yet but the fact that YouTube ad blocking started requiring frequent filter list updates suggests Google will likely take advantage of this.
I'm sorry but everyone getting up and leaving a public place because of one person shouting fire is not and should not be the same threshold we expect the police to have for a full on military assault on a residential area.
That’s not a trivial price. Who finance these puzzles?
I can easily carry a week's worth of groceries (21 meals plus snacks) for my family of five in my old sedan. Even if the trunk is half full of junk just throw grocery bags in the back seat.

I even managed to fit enough lumber for three 4' by 10' by 6" raised garden beds in there, trunk to sticking out the front window. That was a little hairy though.

By far the biggest issue is fitting 3 kids in back now that they are bigger, especially if one or more are grouchy. I always take the bigger car if more than 4 people are traveling.
You get excluded from society I think.

It's pretty bad. I filled out a job application the other day (for Bunq) and they said "gmail preferred". So much for using my own domain!

I applied for an accelerator and they refused to let you proceed without using a Google account.

I was banned from selling on Amazon 14 years ago because someone who had lived in my apartment before me was shady. I'm still banned and they give no recourse.

Google is really an awful company at this point. We need to build some viable competitor to the anchors they still have.

Firefox and Brave are fine as chrome alternatives. Google search is dying a slow death. We need a viable alternative to YouTube.

Usually you're just straight-up screwed unless you know someone who works at the respective company (or know someone who knows someone).

Even worse, some Terms of Service forbid you from ever signing up again if you're banned, meaning you're perpetually at risk of another ban if you sign up to the service again.
