I don't have much experience with non-tactile driving HUDs, but what always gets me is how, with every major version of Android, all the basic, essential functions take increasingly more screen tap counts in different places on the digitizer as they get buried deeper into submenus, calling for ever more amounts of your sensory bandwidth.

These workflows, from quickly adjusting lcd brightness or toggling bluetooth to utilizing functionality in the Maps app, have devolved from almost-total muscle memory with one or two taps to multiple times that and all over the place on the smartphone display.

People are obviously going to use their phones and heavily navigate with Maps while driving, no matter how much PSAs and campaigning happen. It's sort of like the developers are causing car accidents in the name of shipping off their users' engagement metrics back to the mothership.
Not convinced by the turnover thing.

Engineers are human beings, and work should be optimized to make human happy rather than human happiness optimized for work. IMO saying "hire less cautiously because not firing people is a bad sign" is not very respectful of people's life, as being fired can have very bad consequences on the impacted folks.
Yep and they all suck.
The hardware is nice but why do you pay so much to run shitty software that does not even focus on local stuff? If I want some cloud stuff, Google is cheaper...

It's like buying a car because it looks very nice and has a great engine but the driving experience is absolutely terrible.

> a rapidly growing table of around 2B records of user events during their sessions. As it grew past a 500 million records it turned out to be impossible to query this table in any thing close to real-time

I mean, I don't know what you call "close to real time", and what kind of query you did, but I have Postgres serving requests from a 20B rows table just fine, with some light tweaking of indexes and partitions (I'm by no means a DBA).

Unless we are digging much deeper than that in the specifics of the data and queries, I don't think any conclusion can be taken from either experience.
Because nix is not fully reproducible, full source bootstrapped, or multisigned. See my other comment on comparison to Nix.

Entirely different threat model.

The OCI spec supports multisig, multiple build engines, multiple registry engines, which are a major benefit of using standards.

Trump 2.0: an assault on science anywhere is an assault on science everywhere
One of Trump's campaign promises was that Treasury would not form a new coin.
This is why idempotency is defined through visible state on the server. What happens on the server doesn't matter, but a GET request should not change the results of any subsequent future requests, as visible to the clients. E.g. adding or modifying a post or a blog entry via a GET request would break the rules.

(Nothing stops you in practice from ignoring that requirement, but it can lead to ugly surprises, such as a crawler triggering a mass deletion because it crawled the /delete links)
A bit of Kerbal Space Program really makes you appreciate what an ordeal a satellite landing is. And that is a much simplified setting with e.g., no control lag (even on unmanned crafts), a much closer satellite, etc.

Even just designing a craft that will not topple once landed is punishing.
Random know-it-alls on the internet obviously.
Yeah, regular HTML is overly verbose. Being able to compose JSX generating functions and using regular JavaScript logic for loops, conditions etc. wins out for me though because realistic HTML gets big and messy otherwise. Can you do something like this in Pug? (where the actual HTML would be more complex, so you'd want to split it up like this)

const elToolbar = generateToolbar(toolbarItems) // returns JSX
const elUserCards = users.map(user => <div class="card card-body fw-bold">{{ user.name }}</div>)

return <div>
{elToolbar}
{elUserCards}
</div>

I find doing something similar with Vue HTML templates has far too much boilerplate, and I have to learn/recall all this Vue specific boilerplate instead of using regular functions so I end up not breaking up my HTML as much. Unless there's a way to do something similar within in a single file?
>> Just to be clear, standard SQL databases are not great for large-scale analytics.

What do you mean by "standard" SQL? Were you using an OLTP or OLAP db when you faced these difficulties? Also, what makes BigQuery not a "standard SQL database" -- they use GoogleSQL, true, but many DBs have slight SQL variants.

Did I miss a big story? What's PayPal honey and why is this significant?
Did you use plain Postgres tables or a columnar extension like Timescale, Citus, or pg_mooncake?

Nobody in their right mind would argue that Postgres without columnar storage is good for analytics. However, it looks like these extensions can be quite decent, at least at queries (you might still run into write performance due to Postgres' OLTP architecture, but I've never benchmarked it). In OLAP terms the size of your data is tiny and this would probably work just fine.

Personally I'm a huge fan of dedicated databases like ClickHouse. BigQuery gets very expensive as your data and query volume grows.

You can get the age quite quickly with a binary search. If everyone is between 1 and 100, that's no more than 7 requests. The only way this wouldn't hurt privacy excessively is that it has to work the other way around. You, not the app, requests a verification token from a government API that only says you are above 18 which expires once in a while. The token should bear no other information about you and be single use so it cannot be correlated between different sites. For the US, it should also be on a federal level (the verification scheme, not the age verification requirement) to reduce the bits from knowing your state, which is a lot for small states.

This. We continue to own goal ourselves and then blame the ultra wealthy. It's quite perplexing.

1. Tell these exact thoughts to your management. Don’t hold back because you have valid concerns there are catastrophic risks to the business.

2. If management is not setting explicit expectations for you then write your own expectations and make that part of your management conversation.

3. Determine who owns this mess by name. If nobody owns it then accept ownership and become the product owner of record. Business requirements may change rapidly but as the product owner you get to set parameters and write tools/processes to lower risks and increase code reuse.

4. No what happens just remember that at this point you are an individual contributor and you can only do the work assigned in the daylight hours. At the end of the day just go home.

As I understand it, standard emulation is not dynamic recompiling or jit, it is emulating and converting system calls in realtime. So the game calls a system function unique to the original platform, the emulator sees that call and makes a similar one (or multiple) in the language of the emulating system, and then returns the correct response back to the original call from the game.

I dont think it is compiling anything here.
> The universality of such rights notwithstanding, I find it highly inappropriate that the government should be involved in enabling human flourishing outside of ensuring basic human rights.

Which rights are "basic human rights?" Can you enumerate them? You typed a lot of words but you left this open for interpretation. Is it because there is no "universality" of rights?

For example, clean water? Clean food? Access to clean medicine of verifiable quality and efficacy? Americans with disabilities act sort of rights? Privacy? Religion? Speech? Self defense? Against the government? Ability to bequeath property? Sexual congress? Suicide? To be left alone?
Great reply and it mirrors some of my reflections.

For Rust errors, I consider defining a single error enum for the crate or module to be an anti-pattern, even if it's common. The reason is because of what you described: the variants no longer match what can actually fail for specific functions. There's work on pattern types to support subsets of enums, but until then I found that the best is to have dedicated errors per pub function.

I also feel that there's an ecosystem issue in Rust where despite "error as values" being a popular saying, they are still treated as second class citizens. Often, libs don't derive Eq, Clone or Serialize on them. This makes it very tedious to reliably test error handling or write distributed programs with strong error handling.

For Java, my experience with Exceptions is that they don't compose very well at the type level (function signatures). I guess that it's part of why they're used more for coarse handling and tend to be stringy.
No, the earliest I remember what Netscape Communicator, which included the whole suite of Navigator (browser), Composer (wysiwyg editor), Mail, and News (Usenet). That was basically the latest versions of Netscape before its downfall, not the earliest.
The sports bans are distractions or canaries at best. They're a wedge for making action against trans people palatable, as even democrats will occasionally, as a gut feeling, agree with them. There's a nuanced discussion to be had, but ultimately it should be fairly obvious that republicans do not actually care about women's sports. These bills are proposed for different reasons. The sheer volume of the legislation should make it clear alone. It's March, and we got more bills introduced this year than last year already.

If you can't get the image of genocide as traincars and skull piles out of your head, I can't help you, but there's a concerted effort to make our lives miserable to unlivable and to definitionally erase us from public consciousness (aside from painting us as legitimate dehumanized targets). If you can't see that I can't help you, I can just stack it on my anxiety pile as someone else who never wondered how Germany was for Jews (and many other groups, including queer people) in the decade before the holocaust.

This is the same thing as the public demo back then via 'ssh vtm@netxs.online'. There are no public demo servers running now, but you can still ssh to your running vtm instance with any number of connections. In case of using MS Windows you can even get the output in a standalone GUI window via 'vtm ssh user@unixserver vtm'.

Indeed, Trump's playbook is quite simple, not sure why politicians the world over have not caught on:

1. He says or threatens something outrageous; People get all riled up, take a position of defiant vulnerability.

2. He softens his stance; People thanks their stars that they can at least negotiate something with him.

3. He can then proceed to negotiate from a position of strength

A good way to deal with Trump, unless you strongly depend on him, is just to ignore him outright.
Harm to the creators is eventual harm to the users if it results in some of the creators they enjoyed watching no longer being sustainable.
As someone dealing with billions of records on it, BigQuery is far from cheap; G will not charge you much for storage as they will charge you for queries and data transfer.

AFAIK, the cheapest Postgres server on GCP is very expensive compared to the usual Postgres installation (price/performance).

1password is a good choice.
You did. PayPal Honey, formerly just Honey, is a browser extension that claims to "help with finding coupons" at webshop checkouts so that you get the "best deal".

It was then found that it also steals all commissions at those checkout points, and instead of finding you a "best deal", it colludes with the merchants, allowing them to control how many people get what kind of "deals", completely defeating the point.

What We Lose When Our Memories Exist in Our Phones
Ask HN: What note taking app do you guys using as a developer?
As a developer building my own product, I take a lot of notes—code snippets, Linux commands, and general technical info. I've tried many apps, but none feel just right.

Here’s what I think a good note-taking app must have:

A note section where I can add text and images
Easy organization with sections
A quick search to find related notes
A bonus would be the ability to retrieve answers from my notes.

Right now, I'm using MS OneNote, which works well for the first two. But as my notes grow, finding the right one becomes a challenge. Do you guys face the same issue? What methods or apps do you use?
Actually, 1Password had local syncing where you synced the vaults between devices on a local connection (I think it was point to point WiFi, so your internet dropped off, Bluetooth was less common then). So it was bucket brigade syncing.

Dropbox came later and security minded folks were wary. Honestly, I trust 1Password sync more than an encrypted db on a general purpose cloud file sync, but maybe that’s naive.

Proton pass is a poor man’s attempt at a password manager, with horrible user experience (oh we thought just a browser extension was enough!) and random limitations to fit in with Proton’s tortured business model.

As for hosted outside the US, I’m pretty sure the vaultvarden instance running under my desk is also hosted outside the US (unless I’ve somehow been magically transported to the US). Plus, I get to physically lock the door when I leave the house and my cat usually sleeps on top of the sever which adds a level of furry protection which proton pass could never achieve

Cool comment, got me thinking a bit and I’d like clarity if you don’t mind.

Sorting in a GET request param doesn't alter the server's state. It only changes the data representation, not the underlying resources.

This fits "safe" method def (RFC 9110) https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#safe.methods

But I agree sorting feels like it’s doing “something”… which is where I got stuck thinking about this.

But are you saying that the client view state (example of the sorted data) should not be handled by the server via GET?

If that’s what your are thinking, I’d like to learn more on this rule.
This seems like more than just a bit annoying. This would be a deal breaker for me. How can you tolerate this?

Google is nothing but such labs. Google Brain, DeepMind, Google X "moonshot labs" etc are all labs that operate in a similar way to how Bell Labs did. There's also Microsoft Research (much more academic), FAIR, lots of such labs.
I’m not, honestly - it generally takes about the same amount of time, if not more, to carefully handhold the llm through properly implementing the feature.

At this point it’s really a question of how you’d rather spend your time - managing an AI? Or writing code?

Even though generally I prefer the latter, it’s fun to take a break and give the former a short occasionally. I’d say currently I let cursor do its thing for maybe 1 out of every 5 or 6 tickets, usually just for the sake of variety, or if I’m spinning my wheels and need to look at something to get started.
I think the main obstacle is not the ethical one, but the very long gestation period of elephants (more than 18 months). Mice, in contrast, have a gestation period of 20 days. So each iteration of your experiment will take 20 times longer when you use elephants. A postdoc might be there for 2 iterations, while a tenured professor could perform maybe 10 iterations throughout their career.

You’re right, but a strategic reserve doesn’t care about spending. A strategic gold reserve is not held in coins but bars and maybe statues. It’s there for leverage.

I didn't experience this, it has been hard for me to make BigQuery cost a lot. Storage costs were basically nothing and we just set the clustering/partition on DB creation to be users/sessions/events and dates respectively. It aligned really well with general query patterns.

Unfortunately it’s not a real challenge since Apple probably won’t sell their modems for other phones, and Apple will use their own modem even if it’s lacking in some way.
Also from my experience, 2G feature phones have better battery characteristics, longer standby time.

I've a 4G feature phone, and even when only its 2G modem is enabled, it doesn't last as long as the prior 2G phone did. When the 4G modem is enabled (which also uselessly enables its 3G capabilities), it discharges a lot faster.
