It's disappointing they don't list any sort of detailed solutions or future tech. All they do is promote taxation and mention that tire innovation can help.
When I have to do faux-2FA auth using numeric codes sent by text or email, I sometimes catch myself quietly saying the numbers. A microphone would by quite handy for an attacker, even if they couldn’t see all my network traffic.

I expect to see the same thing from the 5600. With AMD still selling 5000-series CPUs and their prices so low, they must be incredibly tempting to anyone who needs a lot of CPUs.
Question was about double entry. Does recording it twice solve floating point issues?
Swift uses garbage collection (I know, arc, but that's still garbage collection)

That’s simply not true, starting with ARC being compile-time and GC being run-time.
You might want to test some optimization or refactor without crossing all the Ts. Lost of reasons you'd want to quickly iterate without doing the maximum amount of work needed upfront.

I see it as less a masculinity problem and more a "common view of physics" problem. IE it's less about masculinity and more about the perception of "winning a crash".

Cars can pass all the safety standards they like but the common view is a multi-ton ladder chassis truck keeps the kids (and themselves, their loved ones, friends...) safer than the small city car (containing others). So stupidly sized trucks are desirable...

The only way out I think is regulation. Otherwise the "outsizing" will continue.
Is that $12/mo truly worth it? I mean, do you find 13+ new songs you genuinely enjoy every month? And would the alternative media be so expensive that you couldn’t build your library using that $12/mo, over a reasonable period of time? I know for me that it’s not worth it, I can buy 3-4 CDs for that $12, even less if I find some good deals, and I’ve had better luck finding new music at the Goodwill than I have with Spotify.
Don't assume that the distribution is uniform.
It's all merkle trees under the hood. I feel like the crypto coin stuff has overshadowed the useful bits.

There is an xkcd comics that says anytime somebody says they found a thing that kills cancer cells in a lab, remember that so does a handgun.
I'd say it's slightly worse, mainly because when you first get the car you tend to launch it a few times and take advantage of all the power. My first set of tires only lasted 27k miles.

After a year you drive normally, I get about 35k miles out of 40k mile rated tires, similar to my old Audi.

>"Rust is a superior technology to C++....it disciplines you to do the things the right way."

It is not. The only thing it disciplines one to do is to bend them to confines of particular safety model. And Rust creators do not have the ultimate authority to say what is the right way anyways. No one does. There are multiple concepts fitting different situations. Rust ignores many. As a general language it looks way too opinionated to me.
I’m constantly amazed by how much the crypto community thinks they understand fractional reserve banking while getting it so completely wrong.

In fractional reserve banking, money that is loaned out is accounted for as liabilities. These liabilities subtract from the overall balance stored (reserved) at the bank. The bank is not printing money new money, no matter how many times this idea gets repeated by people who are, ironically, pumping crypto coins that were printed out of thin air.

I think it’s incredible that cryptocurrencies were literally manifested out of bits, but the same people try to criticize banks for doing this same thing (which they don’t).
I see your point, but I think "calm technology" is important. It aims to make technology fit more smoothly into our lives, being less attention demanding.

This isn't just for tech experts; it helps anyone who feels overwhelmed by technology, seeking balance in how we use devices.
> where you insist that every entry touches exactly two accounts

A ledger is where every transaction balances to 0. It can involve multiple accounts, but the sum of all transfers between all accounts in a single transaction must sum to 0. This is the property of double entry that actually matters.
No, I wouldn't have started differently and I like the performance and the dedicated hardware I get for the money I spend. I have a custom backup solution that will upload daily backups of all my data to remote drives and I should be able to restore the setup on another machine without much problem.
Incentives and penalties need to also exist to encourage manufacturers to offer smaller cars. Many domestic manufacturers are finding that giant luxury SUVs and 100+ kW high-end BEVs are highly profitable, and aren't even selling small and light vehicles at all for customers to choose.
I'm reasonably sure you could conceal this surface syntax so that macros don't know it exists and work fine. You can call a macro by writing the invocation syntax using the indented format, or by the bracketed format, or a mixture.

That makes no sense. Every car on the road, regardless of power source, has what amounts to an infinitely adjustable pedal controlling acceleration. The relationship between pedal input and actual acceleration varies between cars, and can vary even on the same car in different drive modes. How fast you accelerate is 100% under your own control.
They want more users, not more utilization. Utilization is the effect of users not its cause. They are happy to have utilization increase as long as they keep getting more users. If the utilization increases while number of users remain constant because people (like OP) are using CPU intensive programs then that is not in their interest.
I think that's probably right, yeah.
Aqi doesn't measure this, does it?
Also I can shrink my FLACs into 256kbps OPUS and store ~9 hours of audio in 1GB. I cannot (easily) shrink my physical books into microfilm and read them.

For certain regulated professions there is, if a building falls down due to a bad design the professional engineer (PE) that signed and sealed the plans can be held personally liable.

I hate that the 4th power law is called a law. It's not a law of nature, it's a lazy curve fit.

Think about this...if car does 'x' damage to the road, 2 cars does 2x damage. 2 cars welded together side by side (axle to axle so the axle count stays the same) would also do 2x damage, but the 4th power law says it does 16x damage.

If it's wrong by a factor of 8 in the simplest thought experiment it's not a law. You can obviously make a heavy load act like many small ones, or concentrate a light load so it does a lot of damage.

Constant * X^4 just coincidentally went through the data in a single 1950s dataset...and for some reason we're calling it a law 70 years later, when it's really just a loose trend that we could easily break with a little engineering. And we probably have broken it...tires, roads, and vehicles have changed a fair bit in 7 decades.
America generally isn’t laid out that well for public transit. You could build it and have it for free, in many places no one would ride it.
I mean i want to understand not that the problem doesnt exist.

If the price is "0.00023" per unit and someone uses "213.34" units I feed those strings into a multiplication function that returns the correct string 100% of the time.

That much i understand. I dont get how that category of problems is addressed by the solution described.

What i also understand is that you inevtably get to deal with accountants or other finance people. Working in a format they understand is not optional. They will have you transform whatever you have into that anyway.

I learn not to wonder why but maybe i should.
In the sense that they don't emit plastic particles, sure. But trains absolutely do create metal particle air pollution.

I think it would be an interesting comparison, given how often our local light rail trains operate nearly empty. If it has less than about 20 people per train car it is toting around more weight per passenger than a private vehicle with just the driver.
Ask HN: How do you approach personal goal tracking systems?
Based on this blog post https://jacobian.org/2024/apr/4/not-writing-about-productivity/, the author has unfortunately decided to discontinue writing about this topic. I hope there will be a good discussion here. Many people struggle to make progress on long-term goals because they lack a personal system for getting things done. Sometimes, as with this person, the work tracking system provided by their employer aligns with their way of thinking, allowing them to complete assigned tasks. However, they often struggle to make progress on personal priorities or long-term career goals that cannot be managed with their work tracking system.
Russia has ego projects funded with oil revenue.

Their 5th stealth fighter => isn't stealth

Their naval fleet => literally has tow boats following them on missions

Newest tank => T90 => barely build... 60?

Practically all their tanks are build a long time ago. The engine was a bad engine copy of the Germans.

Nuclear arsenal => they forgot maintenance like with everything else

Rocket missles => yes, it was still used a lot. Not reusable and was still based on a design from the 1960's.

Lada => taken over by Renault to make it profitable

Sure, during the cold war, Soviet Union was powerful, their facilities were all funded by the US during the world war, this is where they got the tech ( see reason of Holodomor). But it's only 2 modern cities and the rest is shitty to stay in.

Additionally, their invasion is just similar like the past. It ain't tech, it's literally meat grinder tactics.
...no? My NUC draws about 18 watts under load, which is about $24 per year at typical American energy rates. It cost me 30 bucks. So, it's paid for itself after about 10 months (5n = 2n + 30), and it's way faster than a $5 VPS.
Yeah, it's literally the term used for "points" of social capital in places like HN and Slashdot before it.

A friend and I were talking about the weight of EVs and we assumed my EV would be heavier than his car, a BMW 3. The BMW was heavier. Maybe the average EV is heaver than the average ICE, but if you compare what the EV has replaced for that owner, it might be that the EVs aren't noticeably heavier. I just checked the car I had before the Leaf - a Subaru Outback. It was also heavier.

I don't think that taxing vehicles based on weight is the right option though. If the pollution is from tires, then tax tires. Do this based on the compounds present in that tire. If someone drives rashly, doing donuts all over the place, then they as a greater polluter will need to pay more. I don't really know anything about Formula 1, but get them to do the race on a single set of tires. Not for pollution, but for solutions that might make it into regular tires.
"I respectfully disagree but ok" and nothing else is probably one of the most disrespectful ways to disagree with someone.

I have to say I'd be absolutely delighted to receive a letter like this. Not just the indicator that I'm doing something right (already huge for me, given the degree to which I struggle with people pleasing), but also the humor and extra care/time involved.

Definitely agreeing with others that we could use more of this in the world (well, I could definitely use more of it, at least.)
Great, I fully support this. However, this should be way at the bottom of our priority list. Canadian Telecom, Banks, and News Media should all be wayyy higher on the priority list.

The Bank of Canada even said that one of the largest contributers to Canada's low productivity is the lack of competition present in so many of our industries.

> If popularity is not material then the loss of a single developer will have no impact and Rust will be the same as it ever was

If lots of articles are written saying that popularity is all that matters, then people will start believing it, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. That's the narrowness.
What's the dust that coats everything stored in a parking garage? Is that tire dust or something else?
I occasionally feel bad for the folks on the LRT alongside I-84 on the days I commute to the office. The traffic is congested and very slow at times, and I still beat the train. And that's even before getting to downtown, where the train just crawls from station to station. I wish we could have a real subway.

I suspect the best option for most suburban cities to reduce traffic and air pollution is to strongly incentivize employers to allow remote work when feasible.
I'm not sold on double entry here.

If a new transaction enters the system now, I could follow the advice and record it as two sources of truth. Or I could just record it once.

If I could turn a single transaction into two ledger entries today, I could do the same later if I needed to.
This guy knew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madman_Muntz

> He often carried a pair of wire clippers, and when he thought that one of his employees was "overengineering" a circuit, he would begin snipping components out until the picture or sound stopped working. At that point, he would tell the engineer "Well, I guess you have to put that last part back in" and walk away.[14]

Techmoan recently did a video "The story of the 4-Track Cart" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqoglkbe9sc covering most of Muntz life.

I run marketing for a non-profit that supports a number of community programs.

One of which provides free in-school dental care for rural children, regardless of insurance or nationality. The grant funding ran out years ago and the non-profit has been funding thousands of dental treatments out of its reserves - which is obviously quite expensive.

All of this is to say I was tasked with creating and running a fundraising campaign with a budget of $300 - to raise funds for a 6 figure annual expense. My budget is so small because all of the other budget went to child dental wellness.

It's a multi-week campaign and if I brought on incremental labor costs with each volunteer - I would be in gross violation of minimum wage laws and sink the non-profit due to the minimal resources available.
EVs are broadly comparable to the ICEV equivalent. We're talking 10-15% difference, sometimes less, and the gap closes a bit every year. Won't be long until EVs are consistently lighter than the gas equivalent.

He doesn't see it as wasteful. He sees it as a threat to the wealthy screwing over consumers. He has the same hostility toward all regulators, including the NHTSA, which does an incredible job of keeping cars as safe as they are.

I hear this a lot and I am quite skeptical. Price-sensitive buyers do not buy new cars, they buy used ones. What is available on the used market is directly controlled by what the minority of people who buy new cars put their priorities on.

Democracy is a system of government. It asks people to vote on important decisions (like brexit) and to choose leaders to make day-to-day decisions on their behalf.

It is, of course, the system favored in the West and evident touted as the "best system".

Being 'best' of course does not necessarily make it good. Large groups of people are easily swayed based on fear, anger, perception, rhetoric and so on. The implications of each policy are seldom evaluated in the cold light of day.

So yes, the British voted for brexit- that is democracy in action. Majority Rules - so whining about being in the minority is irrelevant - the system is literally based on "majority rules".

Same thing in the US now. A president has been elected where he has specific points of action. The majority voted for those points of action. The people have spoken. Those policies are not secret. They have been publically explained to anyone who cared to listen.

It's not necessary to blame foreign agents. The decision lay with the electorate, and the electorate have spoken. It is the very core of democracy that those votes be respected and acted on. Uou want to leave Europe? Fine. Is it monumentally stupid? Absolutely. But democracy does not require "good" decisions, only popular ones.

And before the US folk get smug, tarrifs are coming to drive up prices. That is quite literally what the people have voted for. I have no doubt this will reinvigorate the local manufacturing industry. The next VC target will be steel.
Fair enough, although I'd love to see that as an upsell instead.
